Show EDITORIALS This paper Is on file at the American Mining Congress, Denver, Colorado, THE SUPREME JUDGESHIP. On the 20th of September, the Ree publican state convention will In Salt Lake City for the purpose u janung a candidate for the Supreme court of the state and a member of Of the two, the former is congress. the most important to the state. A judge of the Supreme court is one of three men to whom as final arbiters must come all legal questions. They are the final interpreters of the law, as well as the sworn defenders of the constitution of the commonwealth. The man who occupies this position should be one of sound judgment and unspotted Integrity, as well as a lawyer of the profoundest learning. He should be a man who in his position Is superior to all partisanship; in a word, a man who Is the greatest of all, an upright Judge. Two names have so far been prominently mentioned for the supreme Judgship. These are Judge Morse of the Third Judicial district bench and Judge Frick, the Benior member of the law firm of Frick A Edwards of Salt Lake City. Roth of these gentlemen are men who would lend honor to the Both are lawyers of proposition. found learning, both are of the judicial turn of mind, both are grand specimens of American' citizenship, both are men of ripe judgment. Either of them would make a superb justice of the Supreme court. Judge Morse has still two years of his term on the district bench to fill out, and though his friends urge him for the higher position, there Is not wanting many who urge that his place Is on the bench to which he was elected. He has filled the position with credit to himself and to the state, and though his place no doubt could be filled, yet as wasjmld before, many would like him to complete his term. Aa for Judge Frick, there la no question as to his qualification for the He is a man In the full position. con-iren- power of life, with age enough to ripen his judgment. The Republican party would make no mistake by making him its candidate. He also Is a stalwart Republican, and richly deserves the honor of the nomination. He is a Republican of no faction a man that every wing of the pasty could support without causing any bickerings or strife. He la superior to any ring and Is not nor cannot be made amenable to any machine. Both gentlemen mentioned are personally safe men, as was said before. Both would make superb Supreme Judges. Barring the fact that Judge Morse already has a position In which he Is needed, a choice would be hard to make. HAMMOND, CHAIRMAN. . The Republican State committee on Tuesday last chose Hon. James T. Hsmmond as chairman with power to It was select his own secretary. greatly against the gentlemans wish, but on learning that he was not compromised In any way and that acceptance would Involve no change of attitude or views on his part, he decided to accept. A more Judicious, diplomatic proceeding could not have been taken. There is not a more upright, independent, earnest man in the Republican party, or any other, than Mr. Hammond. He desires, and has all along desired, above all merely selfish consideration, the furtherance of Republican principles and the prosperity in of the Republican organization, which Important respects he i so much at variance with those who have been In control for some time that it was hardly believed so sensible, so proper a thing as his appointment was possible If even probable, and It fell upon us like the proverbial shaft of lightning out of the traditional unclouded sky. No matter; It came and is just as welcome as if It had been expected. Hammonds appointment means a concession to the great mass of Republicans which in turn means a change of front and esprit du corps which the ranks have long unknown. her Hope, withering, had poised drooping wings for flight and the gaunt spectre of defeat beckoned the tattered remnant on to its last rally. Not even the stimulation afforded by cheering words reached the ears of what was still entitled to be considered a wing of the grand army. Ah, well. It is different now. How different. we dont know, but it certainly Is the difference between the execution of a sentence and the granting of a new trial the difference between a chance for life and the certainty of death. Depend upon it that the most will ba made of the opportunity, that the vantage ground gained will be held and no steps backward will be taken. Ik is not a proper thing to Introduce a skeleton at a banquet, or dwell upon a gloomy retrospection when a change for the better has taken place. Still, a word by way of review at this point may have a good effect, even this point have a good effect even though it may here and there be placed before unwilling eyes. From Its Inception nearly a year ago this little paper in a spirit of friendliness and with an unselfish desire to promote the welfare of the Republican party urged that steps be taken, that concessions be made, that means of conciliation be adopted, whereby the Utah department of the great organization could be unified, or at least its entities be lees antagonized than was the case. These efforts attracted attention and received notice; one element, realizing the correctness and aptness of our position, were rejoiced that even in this humble and restricted way the true political gospel found a voice; the other and controlling element had no use for such chatter, and no words but those of contempt for the medium which gave it expression. . Even that, adding as it did the discouragement of shrunken patronage to the discomfiture of slighting treatment from those who personally had always been regarded and treated as friends, did not crush the struggling production nor squeeze Its audacious conductors out of the field. They stayed. They are here yet, doing business at the old stand. But the other people have moved at last and praises to Allah! moved In the right direction. Those responsible for the imported journal conducted at a ruinous loss, brought on to obscure and set aside all local talent In showing the denizens of the wild and woolly wilderness how Republican newspapers should be conducted, have met up with a Jostle like unto the collision of ROMNEY A RYAN, LI NOTYPERS.

THE COMING CONTEST. Registration for the coming election has already begun and will be continued intermittently until just before the voting time arrives. If the number registered were taken as an indication of the political trend. It would not be a very encouraging situation, for most of the registrars on the opening day Monday last had little to do, some nothing at all. But such a state of things is by no means a criterion, as the time when registration will be made effective is some distance ahead, and it is quite impossible to work up much interest iu contests so remote .as that of November next. Those who are entitled to have their names on the voting list and have not yet availed themselves of the privilege can and in nearly every case will do so before the fateful time arrives. The proportion as to new arrivals here and those m our midst who have just reached, their majority is not known, but there will probably not be a great deal of difference, and unless they or much the greater part of them should go one way in the matter of voting a wholly improbable proposition the general result will not be much changed from what it would have been without them. Both the great parties here are divided against themselves, the Republicans being by far the greater sufferers from that condition, and this circumstance sets aside the means by which computations have previously been made. Besides, the Socialists are a factor to be reckoned with, especially if the trades unions should make common cause with them. In such latter event their vote in this county should be 6000 and might possibly reach 6000, which would likely take them from the foot of the class and make them at least third In the race; and this suggests the possibil ity of the election being a mixed one. Well, worse things than that might happen. The choice of supreme court judge, representative to congress and the legislature are the only features of the contest in which the state at large participates, and undoubtedly there will be a lively scrimmage over all these, with the chances favoring the Republicans, for outside of Salt Lake County the splitting propersity is not engaged in so extensively, in most counties not at all. They have nearly half the state senate to begin with, and this is a pretty good start for a majority of the legislative bodjl; but this is by no means conclusive. Strange things may happen between now and the ides of November. . JUDGE BARTCH.' On October 1 Chief Justice George W. Bartch will sever his connection with, the bench which he has occupied in Utah for fourteen consecutive years, and will return to practice at the bar. He will have as a partner General Bagley of Idaho, and the firm will be a strong one. In parting company with Judge Bartch as an official we do but voice s of those the feelings of who know him when we say that, in the midst of a more or less tortuous condition of things, his way has been straight, his actions regular and his achievements replete with wise and No more incorlasting provisions. ruptible, . impartial or industrious judge ever occupied the bench anywhere, and his departure from it here, while It will no doubt be a gain to him, will not be one to the state. Personally he is one of the most unassuming and approachable of men;, not gifted with much of the worlds goods, his purse has ever been open to the call of meritorious need, and, without being a candidate or in a position where he could justly be levied responded to upon, has unfailingly calls for aid by the Republican party, to which he has ever given an unselfish allegiance. It has remained for a few small souls to place him in a position where he seemed to be opposed to a mere faction, but jn reality nine-tenth- i DEAR. READER!
