The Office OF the Holidaysburg Radical
has been removed to this oity, and will here
|
now three weekly papers in Altoona
firm but fair democratic j,urnal, quasi
neutral. independent newspaper and a radi-
| cal republican sheet-all conducted by able
and clever gentlemen.
Speaking OF newspapers reminds me that
the Tiudicdtor (not the red hot one) will be
printed this week on new type, of which
friend Campbell has an abundant assortment
with which to do anything from a tiny wed
ding card to a mammoth poster. The SER
vices of Howell Swartz. Esq have been Sc
cured for the local department of the FIBdi-
Gator, and there is no doubt of his ability to
do ample Justice to that department.
| AS the time for nominating candidates for
office will he with Us ere long, I suggest the
name of Thad. Banks. Esq of Holidays
burg, for the democratic nomination for As
semblyman, to take the place recently held
by that great big nobody. Joseph Robinson.
Mr.. Banks is q gentleman of unimpeachable
character and un1nching democracy. and
| his nomination could not fail to be received
with unbounded enthusiasm. By the way,
learn thats Robinson is likely to be kicked
out Of the republican party. If that should
prove true he will doubtless feel like the dis
consoats chap did who poured forth his la
mentations thus'y:
"And when dies, 'spose
From HI will be driven,
And forced to loaf about
Outside the walls of heaven.
Nobody vot knows
To see me or to greet me;
No friendly hand to take me in.
Nor darncd soul to treat me.
Our young friend j. II. Brophy. Esq.
has bcen made the recipient, at the hands
of few of his many friends, Of superb
pencil and case. As a recognition of esteem
and appreciation. Mr.. B. is young man
of decided ability, and will sooA become a
worthy aud talented disciple of Coke and
Blackstone. the great shining lights of the
legal profession. Yours, &c, T. l. n.
