The Supreme Court Judgeship.

At the next October election there is to be elected a Judge of the Supreme Court from the sth Supreme Court District created by the last Legislature. The Counties-com-prising the District are tlie following: Lake, Benton, Porter, Laporte, St. Joseph, Elkhart, Kosciusko, Marshall, Stark, Jasper, Newton, Pulaski, Fulton, Wabash, Miami, Cass, Carroll, Lagrange, Steuben, Be Kalb and Noble. The Judge is to be elected by the electors of tlie, entire State, but he must reside withili the district for which he is to be elected. Among the names which we have heard most frequently and favorably mentioned as suitable to. be placed upon the Democrats ticket for that office, is that of lion. T. J. Merrifiekl, of Valparaiso. Mr. Merrifi.eld is too well and favorably known to the.bar and people pi Northern Indiana to need any commendation from us.— He stands high in the estimation of both bench and bar for legal knowledge and ability, while his character for honesty, fairness and integrity is'beyond reproach from any quarter. We heartily second the movement of his nomination. Warsaw Union.
