He has heretofore been regarded as quite
respectable gentlemAn--in fact rather
popular fellow. He was twice elected
Mayor ofthiE city, aud also elected member
Of the late constitutional convention, where
be is said to have occupied a very respects
bls position among the leading men. In
fac, he has been found pretty hard mao TO
beat, whenever be has been . candidate for
any office.
Mr.. HAwlsy's people Ieem terribly sHer-
oised with fear that the Dr. will be the
Greeley candidate for Congress this fall.
Whether he will be or not, we cannot say.

want change reduction OF taxes, rsduc-

people will condemn the DIR. on merely
scurriIous and spiteful and unfoundsd
