Democratic Sentinel, Volume 2, Number 4, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 March 1878 — JUDGE HAMMOND. [ARTICLE]

JUDGE HAMMOND.

The statement that Judge Ham rnond will be u candidate for Congress in the Tenth District is entirely unauthorized by that gentleman. We know whereof we nfllrrn when we state that under no circumstances will he allow' the ns*» of his name in that connection, —Fowler Democrat We have the authority to say that the Hon. E. P. Hammond is not a candidate for Congress “over in the 10th district” or any other district. The people of the 30th judicial circuit are quite as much interested in main tuhiing a pure judiciary as they are in having an acceptable congressman, and while Judge Hammond’s judicial conduct is, and baa been given such universal satisfaction, we would much regret that he should enter the fi*dd of political strife, whicn we are aasurhe has no intention of doing.—Fowler Era. Correct, Bro. Williams. Judge Hammond is the right man in the right place Even to insure a first-class representative in congress, we are not willing to sacrifice one who is so acceptable mbu judiciary, notwithstanding we feel certain he would be. an honor to his constituency as a con gressman.—Goodland Register. Mr. Hammond gives general satisfaction on the bench, and we have no doui-t the people of this judicial district, without regard to party, desire him to continue in his present position.
