without opposition by the Democratic
Slate Convention seems to be 'gener
ally conceded. Both these gentlemen
have demonstrated their fitness for.
the Supreme' Court Bench and they
deserve the unopposed nomination of
the party. . The nommalion of Judge
Manning to succeed., himself is alon.e
Contested; the gentleman who is mak
ing this contest is Judge W. R. Allen,
of Goldsbpro -
Upon what ground is this contest
made?
The letters sent our by the committee
in charge of Judge Allen's campaign
place his contest upon the ground that
he has discharged well the duties of
Judge' of the Superior Ciurt for about
eight years and in this position render
ed splendid service to the people of the
State
We have no desire and no purpose to
detract one particle from this fine
service. But is thu alone sufficient?
There are other Judges upon our Super
ior Court Bench whose legal ability is
generally r -cognized as equal to Judge
Allen's and whose service on the Bench
has been large. If splendid service on
the Superior Court Beach and length
of service furnish the reason for pro
motion, then there are some Superior
Court Judges who outrank Judge Allen
in length of service and who equal him
in ability.
But why should Judge Manning alone,
of three members of the Court to be
nominated, be denied a nomination?
Judge Manning was appointed by Gov
ernor Kitchen to fill the vacancy caus
ed by Judge Connor's resignation:
some one had to be appointed of course,
and the Governor is vested by law i;h
the appointing power.
Judge Allen'B name was presorted to
the Governor; so was Judge Manning's,
so were the names of other able law
yers in the State. Governor Kitchen
had to decide, and he appointed Judge
Manning. The concensus of the State
press comments at the time of the ap
pointment was tPat the Governor had
made no miBtake. Judge Manning's
work as a member of the Supreme
Court has confirmed thU opinl n (of the
press) and the wisdom of the Governor
in the appointment Governor Kitchen,
of course, knew Judge Manning well,
not only as a lawyer, but as a man and
a Democrat. So far as we can bear,
the lawyers of the State speak in terms
of high praise of Judge Manning's
opinions as a Judge ot our supreme
Court We accept their judgment upon
that point.
Appointed by s Democratic Governor
and having '-made good" oo the Sup
reme Court Bench," Judge M inning is
entitled to the nomination of our party,
wcordiog to its unbroken custom and
precedent. The endorsement of the
Governor's appointed by nomination
hs, as we recall, been jrefjued a very;
