FOR CONoR GSS-SANIUEL E. ME IRWIN
 The Republican Congressional convention which met in this city yesterday did good piece of work in nominating by exclamation General Samuel E. Merwin, of this city, A wiser choice could ot have been made
 General Merwin is very well known throughout ths city, the district and the State, but brief sketch of his career will not be uninteresting to those who are to vote for or against him. He was born in Brookfield, in this State in 1881. He came to New Ha- ven in 194s, and began his business career clerk for Simmons Hine who had store on State street. In 1851 he went into busi- ness for himself, opening retail grocery and provision store in the building which stood on the site now occupied by him. In 1857 he went into the wholesale provision busi- nsss, which he has continued in ever since. His reputation as business man is first class, and he has been 8 director in the Merchants National bank for fifteen years. His training has been such as to we'll fit him to deal with questions affecting the important business in- terests of this district. Ho does not believe in "a tariff for revenue only"
 In politics General Msrwin is not bitter partisan, though he has been an active and efficient supporter and exponent of the best Republicapism He has not been an ofice- seeker, but he has on several occasions been heartily called to office by his fellow citizens He was a member of the State Senate in 1876, carrying by handsome majority a Democratic district. He served two years as @ Police Commissioner. He was a member of the Board of Education for nine years, during which time he did valuable and last ing work for the schools. He has been inti- mately connected with tho National Guard for twenty years, serving in positions from ! private up to Adjutant General of the State, which office he held under Governor Jewell. l His popularity in military circles is deserved. l ly great.
 While General Merwin's public life has been honorable, his private life has not been less so 1 His integrity is unquestioned. He is most emphatically good citizen. He has always taken deep interest in charitable and phil
 anthropic work. He was for several years member of the managing committee of the State Hospital in this city, and is still one o
 its directors. He is liberal to the poor ant
 klnd to those in his employ. Few men ar,
 more generally esteemed and few have mor
 or warmer friends He is fin. looking ma,
 and courteous to all, both high and low, witt ! whom he comes in contact.
 ! We have reason to believe that the sup
 porters of MT. Mitchell, the Democratic can
 didate, would have been glad to see som
 other man than General Merwin nominate,
 by the Republicans-somebody who's
 qualifications for member of Congres l were less obvious. But the right thing ha
 been done, and the men of both parties wh
 desire to see this district we'll represented i
 Congress should vote for General Merwin

 There is an Independent movement of the l right kind in Baltimore. This year four city years are to be elected, and the management Of the Democratic party in nominating them has led to the publication of an appeal to the voters of the city, signed by $50 of the prin l oipal business men, declaring against the ap plication of the spoils doctrine to judicia offices, and asking that steps be taken te name non partisan list of candidates. Tn, prospect is that the Democratic scheme vii be overthrown, as it ought to be-
 The stalwart Republicans are loud in thei denunciations of scratchers, and pride them 1 selves on voting straight" The figures o the New York election of 1881 have beer analysed to show that stalwart does some times scratch. Mir. Carr, the stalwart candi date for Secretary of State last year. had 416, 9l5 votes in the State, and was chosen b. over 12,OOO plurality Mr. Husted, th ''half breed" candidate for treasurer, re ceived nearly 25, GOO fewer votes than M, Carr. The larger part of this loss was du to the hatred of the stelwarts. In New Tor county the half-breed candidate for distris attorney received over 5000 fewer vote than Mir. Carr.

Giles College Chips.
BY THE BOYS.

/
1t is Friday night. The exer
cises of our school have closed fol
the holidays. The boarders at the
college have concluded to gather q
few chips for the holiday edition OF
the CITIZEN before leaving for home.
We all anticipate a great deal OF
pleasure during Christmas week and
expect to return brim full Of ener-
gy and prepared to do some hard
studying tor the examination at
the close Of the five months term.
Our stay at school this term has
been very pleasantly and proita-
bly, spent.
We boys have as rule studied
hard and of course have been in
terested. Our teachers compli-
mented us very highly by telling
US how pleasantly they had spent
the term as our instructors and by
thanking us for making the discip
line of the school so agreeable by
our gentlemanly conduct. We
have had a good debating society
this session and have enjoyed it's
meetings veryi much. We have
also enjoyed the literary exercises
on Monday mornings. These have
consisted of essays, compositions,
select readings and impromtu dis
cussions from the boys and lee
lures from our teachers. These
lectures and discussions embrace a
variety OF subjects, as the Transit
of Venue" "The Nebular Hypothe-
sis;' on Analysis in Composition
and the Benefits of Education
This last one was discussed at
length by the boys.
We think the boys have been
greatly benefited morally by their
stay in Pulaski. All of the board
ers have joined the Y. NJ. G. A. and
have attended regularly. On Sun
day we 90 first to Sunday school,
then to church in the morning and
to the ssY: NJ. C. A. in the evening
and to church again at night. Ii
is also our great pleasure to meet
in Mrs. Guthrie's sitting room Sun
day after dim and spend an hour
or so in singing. Mrs. Guthrie
leads on the piano. Some times
during the week the boys practice
on the Wizard Oil songs.

This is especially true of a
family medicine, and it is posi-
tive proof that the remedy initiated
is of the highest value.
AS soon as it had been tested
and proved by the whole world
that HOP Bitters was the purest,
best and most valuable family
medicine on earth, many imita-
tions sprung up and began to steal
the notices in which the press and
people of the country had express
ed the merits of II. B., and in
every way trying to induce suffer-
ing invalids to use their stuff in
stead, expecting to make money
on the credit and good name Of
II. B.
Many others started nostrums
put up in similar style to II. B.,
with variorsly cunningly devised
names In which the word Chop"
or 'Hops" were used in a way to
induce people to believe they were
the same as Hop Bitters. All
such pretended remedies or cures,
no matter what their style or name
Is, and especially those with the
word chop" or "Hops" in their
name or in any way connected
with them or their name, are imi-
tations or counterfeits.
Beware of them. Touch none
of them, but: Use nothing but
genuine Hop Bitters, with a bunch
or cluster of green Hops on the
white label. Trust nothing else.
Druggists and dealers are warned
against dealing in limitations or
counterfeits. 70,
