John Butler Smith was horn mt Sax
toms river, VT. April 12, 1888. When he
had att aimed the age OF 0 years the family
removed to Hillsboro, where he received
his early education. He graduated from

win preside at todsy's session Of the
convention.
There Is absolutely no contest for the
first plsce on the ticket, the unanimous
sentiment among the delegates being
that General Merwin be nominated by
acclammation. There may be some
thing like a struggle for other places on
the ticket, but a careful canvass OF the
situation warrants tho belief that the
following state ticket will bo placed be-
fore the Republican party OF the state:
For governor, General Samuel r. Mer~in
of New Haven; for lieutenant T. governor,
Colonel Frank p. Cheney. OF Manchester;
stratford; for treasurer, George Nichols,
OF Thompson; for comptroller, B. 8. Pat
terson, OF Kiilingly.
The electoral ticket will stand: At

THE JOURNALS or CANADA.

Pleasant Summary or Canadian NeWs-
papers by Il Canadian Writer.
The generality of Canadian newspa-
pcrs in their style, says Walter Black
burn uarte, Canadian journalist, in
the New England Magazine, are n Curl
Gus mixture of English and American
methods. In the news department
they are very similar to the newspapers
in the smaller American cities, and in
the editorial columns they are modelled
after the English provincial papers.
Except in one or two instances, thcy
are destitute of all pretentions to lit
crary excellence. The Toronto Mail
and Globe maintain higher standard
than any of their contemporaries. The
Gazette of Montreal and the Empire of
Toronto arc almost exclusively political
IN their scope, and exist as the organs
of the conservative party. The west
crn papers have little room for any;
thing outside of news and politics. The
Montreal Star is always on the popular
side Of every question. Tho Ottawa
papers, like those of Washington, carry
little weight and arc miserable in every
particular. The. French Canadian news.
papers arc less cntcrrrisingt and cner.
;ctic in tho gathering of nova than the
English. but tFcir editorial columns arc

Secretary George He'll, OF the City Gas
Board, was asked yesterday by 4 report
or how he explained those different re-
ports quoted in the IXrELLIGEycER
editorial columns yesterday morning.
He said that the difference was all due
to clerical errors. The first report was
made out under stress OF circumstances
which made haste necessary, and there
was some error in the work, but before
it was Incorporated in the City Clerks
report the error was discovered and cor
rected by new report. When asked
if the report now in circulation that the
gas board had expended $1,000 more
than the appropriation made for the
year by the City Council, Mr.. He'll ad-
mitted that it was true. The restrain
sng ordinance fixes penalty on such
excessive expenditures, but Mr.. He'll
said that in this case thcexcess was due
to an emergency, and was unavoidable.

List in tho Bank OF Wheeling. The an.

dental to this change will take place.
Mr.. d. @. List established tho Bank OF
Wheeling and has been actively con-
nected with it for q great many years.
lie is the oldest active banker in Wheel
ing and doubtless in the state, and his
retirement is a notable event in the
local history OF banking institutions.
Mr.. Lamb was formerly connected with
the bank, aud after his return to the
city became more prominent in its
affairs, and his purchase OF these inter-
csts means that he will hereafter be in
control OF tho institution, which has
always been solid and prosperous one.
