In a lengrhy editorial on the circuit jmlgesihip the Waahtenaw Post says : "Altihough the publteher of the Wiüilitfmnv l'ost is a demoerat, the Poel ba independent in politics. As an independent newspaper it lias alwaye been fearless a-nd independent in the expression of its opinión of the qualifications of eandidates for public office, not caring a continental w'hom it displeased or pleaed by so doing. Tlus Is the duty of a publisher of an independent newsspapor. We are about to have a notlier eltvtion - not a politkal but a judicial election- and it fis, thereiore, the PoVt's duty to again present its readers with iacts. It is aar good fortune to enjoy the acquaiintaince of a majority of tiie members of tïie bar of Washtenaw and Momroe eounties, and if there is a gentleman among th,em who is bet ter qunlified for the position of judge of t'his circuit tlKin Kon. E. D. Kinne, we sliould be pleased to hear his name. The oldes't members of the bar of all politieal partios contend that Judge Ktane ie fine most conscientious and just judge t'lnat the 22d judickil district hias ever had. We cannot now call to niind the name of any citizen in this district- unle68, perhaps, the venerable ex-Governor Felch - who can boast of more warm friends than Edward D. Ki-nne. Wlien eeated on the benc'h, however, Judge Kinne knows neither frieaid or foe. He hears and recognizes only the facts, in the case before btan. A prominent citizen of tJiia city, who frequente the court room 'a good deal sajd to ue recent1}T : 'Judge Kinne is tihe best judge of human nature and most observing man I ever kneAv. I have frequently nKiiied that from the time a witness is calk'd until he has taken the stand, the 5udge carefully watches the witnrss untiil he luas arrived at sonie concluion aa to his or her honesty and veracity.' We (repeat, wdiere is therc a man better qualiiicil for the judgesliip thian the Hon. E. D. Kinne ? Let os again throw politics aside, gentlemen, nd 're-elect Judge Kinne."
