 We clip the following notice of our can- didate for Governor from the Hartford Press:
 Marshall Jewell was born in Winchester New Hampshire, Oct. 23th, 1925 and is now in his forty third year. His father, Pliny Jewell, Esq, of this city, and the senior of the firm of P. Jewell & Sons, was tanner and currier, and Marshall worked in his fathers tannery until he was seventeen years of age, when he went to Boston and there made himself thorough master of the business of currier, an occupation in which one Ulysses s. Grant was also pro- Acient before he was called to tan the hosts of the rebellion. In 1845 Mr. Pliny Jew ell moved to Hartford, and began, in a small way, the business, which has since developed into such large proportions; and in 1887 Marshall moved to Hartford and worked for two years in his fathers currier shop. At the-end of this time, being de- sirous of seeing something of the world, he learned the art of telegraphing, and be- coming an expert operator, he was engag- ed in an office in Rochester, from which place he went to Ohio, and continuing his travels, the Taylor campaign found him ln charge of the telegraph office at Columbia Tennessee, the home of Jamess K. Polk. After the election of General Taylor to the presidency, Mr. Jewell, who was warm supporter of the Whig nominee, removed to Jackson, Mississippi, and was elected general superintendent of the telegraphic line between Nashville and New Orleans.
 In 1849 he returned to Hartford, and the following year went into partnership with his father. the firm adding to the business of the tannery that of the manufacture of belting, in which the house has since be- come leading one in the United States. For two years MT. Jewell worked in the shop putting all his energy and skill into that of workman, until the business was put upon permanent foundation, and the reputation of the manufactured goods of the firm was established. He then gave his attention to the development and en- largement of the business. It is admitted that the wealth and reputation of the house is largely due to his energy and intelligent management.
 In 1859, Mr. Jewell went to Europe on the business of his firm, and again in 1860. In 1865 he went abroad the third time, for rest and recreation, remaining away 8 year, and extending his travels to Egypt, the Holy Land and Turkey. He made an- other brief visit to Europe last summer, spending most of his time at the Paris Ex- position. Were this a proper place to speak of MT. Jewell's private life, we might say that his visits to Europe have not been those of an idle sight-seer, but of a student of the industrial progress of other coun- tries with reference to that of his own, while he has found leisure to devote much time to the study of art, his love of which is evinced by his choice and admirably se lected collection of paintings, by the best artists of the modern school.
 MT. Francis Wayland of New Haven, our candidate for Lieut.. Governor is a gentle man greatly esteemed and respected in that place, where he'w elected Judge of Probate in 1864 and 1865. The Springfield Republican says of him:
 We used to have in Springfield, as law student, Francis Wayland, whom the Con- necticut Republicans have put up for Lieu tenant Governor, and we should all be glad to cross over the line and vote for him in April He is son of President Wayland of moral science and Brown University, has been Judge of Probate in New Haven, where he now resides, and is lawyer of good sense and acuteness, of fine literary taste and culture-he has been ill the At lantic-and citizen of high popularity and influence.
 Hiram Appelman of Groton, our candi- date for Secretary of State, was colonel of the Eighth Conn. during the war. He was wounded repeatedly, and at Antietam he was disabled from further service in the army. Returning home he studied law, was admitted to the bar, and sent to the Senate in 1866, where he proved good speaker and an efficient worker:
 Colonel Leverett W. Vessels, our nomi- nee for Treasurer, is too we'll known in this county, as Sheriff and as Colonel of the Nineteenth Conn.,, to need notice at our hands.
 Our candidate for Comptroller, James W Manning, of Putnam, is successful mer- chant, thoroughly acquainted with the de- tails of business and we'll qualified for the position. He is prominent man in his locality, in whose energy and ability there is the fullest confidence.
