was truly pleased to see in your last paper the no.
mination of Dr. VIM Selden of Charles City 10 repre-
sent this district in the next Legislature lie is just
such man as we would like to see in the public coun

unwayerng in his principles as the h1ed stars
gentleman of fine talens-has done much for the Re
publican cause in Charles City-He has worked in sea
son and out of As private man he is beloved
by all who know him, both Wing and Democrat; Then
Democrats let US rally more for the good old cause
and for the principles for which our fathers ought-ie
