R. Eckle, of Putnam county, an old-time, old-fashioned lawyer, it is said, well grounded in the principles of the common law, but profoundly ignorant of the statutes and the decisions of the courts, would carry off the prize of the nomination. So Hughes moved into a higher and more dignified atmosphere, announcing that the judi- ciary should be divorced from politics, and accordingly appealed to the people to assist him in its elevation by electing him, which James Hughes 87 was done by a very ...respectable majority. The whole circuit was Democratic, with hardly an opposition county in it, but by a political freak he was elected. During his canvass and for some time prior, he was the editor of a Democratic paper which espoused the cause of a non-partisan judiciary, and incidentally his own cause, with fearful, forcible and convincing rhetoric. Judge Hughes was a profound lawyer. It is doubtful if there was a better one in this part of the State. As a judge he was upright, bold, courageous and tyrannical.
