THE CIRCUIT JUDGESHIP.

Tlio circuit judge nominated next Tuesday aud elected next No- . vember t\xll fill out Judge Hammond’s unexpired term, being a Jasper county man, it is in accordance with the fitness of things that Jasper county should have his successor. Moreover, Benton county already has the Prosecuting Attorney and Newton has the State Senator and the candidate for Representative. Jasper county must therefore keep the judge-ahiporhavenothing. We have two good men engaged in open, manly and friendly conI test for the nomination. Both of them deserve well of the people and deserve well of the Republican party. > Either of them will make an entirely available candidate, and, when elected, will —discharge the responsible and onerous duties of the position, -with industry, fairness dignity- and efficiency. Last, but not least by any means, both have that special cljpm upon the gratitude of the which belongs to those who served their country fearlessly and well, in “Those, times that triec men’s souls” the great war for the preservation of our national existence. The respective friends of these two Jasper county candj idates ought to go to Gopdlrfm next Tuesday and do all they honorably can to secure the nomination of their own man, and when it becomes evident that their man can not win, then they should unite their forced and all work for the other. If they do this, their course will meet the universal approval of the Republicans of Jasper county but of the whole people. Stand by Jasper county in this contest It is only asking for what it ought, of right, to have.
