Rensselaer Republican, Volume 24, Number 44, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 30 June 1892 — Judge Johnston Resigns. [ARTICLE]

Judge Johnston Resigns.

From Valparaiso Sun. Hon. William Johnson to-day forwarded to Gov. Chase his formal resignation as Judge of the 31st judicial circuit. It will take effect upon the appointment of his successor. Judge Johnson’s tenantcy of the bench has been marked by rare ability and uprightness and the record thus made will remain unclouded. There are several candidates for the position thus made vacant. It is is probable that Hon. John H. Gillette, of Hammond, ex-Assistant Attorney General of State, will be named by the Governor. The appointee will bold bis place until toe election.
