INTEREST IN THE REPUBLICAN

Sold by Leslie Clark to L. H. Hamilton, His Partner. L. H. Hamilton has purchased the interest of his partner, Leslie Clark, in the Rensselaer Republican, and Mr. Clark will retire at the end pf the present month, it is understood. What Mr. Clark’s plans are for the future have not been learned, but it is rumored that he wishes to go upon a farm, either in Ohio or some place in the south. He has engaged in the newspaper business for about 30 years, 25 years of which time has been in Rensselaer. No mention of the change has as yet been made by the Republican, and whether Mr. Hamilton expects to “go it alone” or will have his sob Fred, who is now in California, come back and be associated with him or will take in. someone else as a partner, we are unable to say at this Ume. Be has privated stated, however, that he had purchased Mr. Clark’s interest and employes of the Republican have said that this would be Mr. Clark’s last month with the uaper.
