The reasons - why it hoi proven un> satisfactory are, that the candidates for judge and solicitor have almost of ne cessity been required to do thiuge that men who expeot to occupy the positions to whioh they aspire should not be forced to doi In will ooonr to any per son who will give the matter thought, thal'where a mail Is a candidate for the pocitlon'of prosecuting ofiloer that many of the people: who are likely to came to trial for offenses committed against the state, la whioh he will appear as prose cutor, will take advantage of hie candi dacy and endeavor to oantrol hie actions either dlreotly or indirectly by the promise of their votes and inflaenoe, either given or implied.

At the close ot the parade the three classes ot floats for whioh premiums are offered, will oe lined np separately for the judges to pass apon them, and in this way the decorated vehioles will not be thrown into competition with the mer cantile, industrial and agricultural floats. Several ladies and gentlemen in the city ore already planning to decorate their vehioles and join the big proces sion.
