n. W. Ide, Esq.

Our candidate for District Attorney
of this Judicial District is gentleman
of fine attainments and unimpeachable
character. We made his acquaintance
during the recent sitting Of the Cour,
in this place. aud had all our favorable
impressions concerning him more than
realized. He is affable. ready to do a
kindness, and is entirely free from that
"swell-head" affectation and pomposity
which characterize not q few in the
variou. professions-a sure indication
that his mind and requirements are Of
the most solid and substantial charac-
ter. Mr.. IDE will make a 6rst-rate
prosecutor for the District. being we'll
versed in Law and close student. So
far as We know there will be no opposi-
tion; and there should be none, as he
is the man for the place. We are al
ways pleased to see such men chosen
to positions Of honor and trust. When
all our Offices are filed BY gentlemen Of
this class. we shall have better times 10

port with that hearty cordiality we al
ways feel when assured that tho act we
are performing will be productive Of
good results. We need more such
men in Office. LIE: every voter of the

made to unite all the sore-heads. ag.

some cause the effort did not succeed
We believe one or m ore of the candi'

such medley of the "odds and ends.
and SO, for the time, it failed. Wheth'

will be made, We do not know-nor
does it matter much. We think the
people are able TO take care of them
selves and of their votes without the
aid Of candidates.
We are told. however. that the sore
heads and the copperheads have united
and are working tremendously together,
and jointly using their best endeavors
to draw to themselves all the "fag- ends.

To Our Readers.

In consequence of the enormous advance in the
price of printing paper, we are compelled to re-
duce our size, or. following the example of our CO.
temporaries elsewhere, increase the price of SUBJ
scription. We prefer doing the latter. Notice is
therefore given that and after the 1st of Jauu-
airy next, the price of subscription to the REPuB-
LIcAN will be 81 so per annum, if paid in advance
If not paid until end of year so cents extra will be
charged. We are compelled to make this advance
to save ourself from loss-and we hope to see all
our patrons continue. If however, any are dissat-
isfied with this arrangement, and wish to discon-
tinue their wishes will be complied WITH upon the
settlement of their arrearages. To those who have
paid in advance the paper will be furnished until
the expiration of the time for which they have paid
Those who are in arrears for the paper if they will
pay before the LIST of January, will be charged
only with old rates-one dollar. New subscrlp-
tions can also commence prior to that time at one
dollar. Trusting that our patrons will fully appre-
ciate the necessity for this course, we hope they
will still extend to us their confidence and pat
ronage.
