Judge Lochrane, of Georgia, who was formerly Chief Justice of that State, fails to find any wisdom in Ben Hill's idea of a new National Union party. In an interview recently published in The Winston (N. C.) Republican he says: "I see no reason why a man cannot come out openly and squarely into the Republican party, and get there all the nationality and union he could get in a new party, besides having the identity with a great victorious army, instead of losing his ammunition and time among guerillas, who at least amount to nothing as a National organization. For myself, I propose to make no halt on the wayside, but march right up and take my chances with the Republican party of the country."
