by his Democratic friends that the

participated In the most important
legislative contests Of late years, has
made him familiar with public affairs.
It was apparent, frnm Mr.. Prices ex.
pressiODs on the subject, that his in
tention hot to stand Cor reelection
was fixed and controlled by the fact
that his extensive engagements de-
mand close personal attention, which

strong appeals had to be made every
time to get Mr.. Price to consent to be
. candidate and know what sacrifice
of personal interests It has been to
him, not to cay Of ease and comfort. to
represent the district in congress. His
patriotism and Democracy have been
such that he always responded to the
call Of his party. His party friends
would fain have him again lead them
to victory but after his devoted and
faithful services for :be last nine
years. they feel that his ~Oft-iterated
