last week while on his way to the Republican
State Convention of West Virginia, which
will meet in Martinsburg tomorrow. He was
formerly Democrat and is now Republican.
for the reason he says, that he was kicked ont
OF the Democratic party. He still retains his
aldermanic proportions. and looks as well as
could be expected of one who has been treated
as he alleges he has been. Though prodigal
son, he does not look as though he has been
feeding on husks. We hope he will find in the
Republican rack a plentiful supply Of nutri-
tious provender. for we do not suppose that he
is willing Ito stand up to the rack fodder or no

termined TO change his base, and SO has re-
moved to his native city of Staunton, where
he will enter into business for himself, having
purchased an establishment in that place. We
are sorry to lose him, as he was a pleasant
young gentleman, active. enterprising, and at
tentive to his duties. We predict success for
him. He takes with him the good wishes of
