Show DEMOCRATIC BLUFF, Denver Times. President Harrison has nominated Jutlgn Williuiu It. Woods of Indiana for one of the places on the new circuit court of nppenls. A better niuu cotiltl not have been found. The TiniiH has not been able to glow with enthufiam.over the hulk of the president's appointment in tho past, but tins is distinctly dis-tinctly n good one. The democratic press is makiuc; a hlunder-Ing hlunder-Ing attempt to cast doubts upon Judfe Woods' Integrity bceuuso the trumped-up ballot-box cum) against W. W. Dudley of Indiana In-diana was tried befori him. The idea is manufactured that .Inline Wood-, is nliout to receive his reward from President Harrison for clinrgiii!; the jury in the case mentioned in a way conspicuously favorable to Dudley. The tiunu'linir .V. "m is silly enough tonssert that there is likely to be irreat opposition to .1 utt o t Voods' contlrmatiuii by the democrats In tiie si nate, und that Si nators Teller, Wo. cott, Mitchell and one other senator from Wyoming will certainly vote against it. The .Wr.v is writing upon u subject of which it is hopelessly ignorant. Every one who has ever met or known Jueiio Woods in iinv way, '.'ould have helped the Aim to avoid such a stupid mistake aa it has thus been drawn into. He is a man of the strongest convictions nnd the most irreproachable integrity. The crown of a kini; would not tempt him to change even a casual opinio!'.. W hen it came to a iiicstion of riL'ht and wron all the powers of earth could not swerve liim one iota. .Indue Woods has red hair and unlimited faith in his own judgment. When he makes mistakes it is because of his men-tul men-tul construction. He is -simply incapable of aetini; upon the basis of inlluentes outside of hi conception of right and w rong. If tiie si nators mentioned oppo.se Judge Wood's ci-nlirination it w iil i-how that they are ready to act oilieinlly upon hearsay an i are, to tiiat extent, unlit to hold the positions to which they have been elected. |
