an intimate personal acquaintance with Mr.
Bailey, from his youth up. He is a young
man of conceded ability, high-minded and
honorable in purpose, and every way live,
Whole soulcd man, He has already achieved
distinction as a lawyer and as a legislator, that
few men OF his years attain; and it is safe to
predict for him future that will be but the
natural outgrowth from such an honorable
foundation. Notwithstanding the detection of

ELI THAYER AND HIS DIsTRICT. - The
republicans of the ninth district have parted
company with Mr.. Thayer, so far as the en-
dorsement of his public acts are concerned.
They have not proceeded so far as to read him

had not commended itself TO the electors of
the district, and that they were preparing to
