ot Mrs John B. Wheeler of this town.
The Hartford Post in speaking of Mr
Wilcox, says : Mr Wilcox is a gold
Democrat. lie bas had bis time of bigb
elective office-holding. In November,
18S3, he was chosen to Congress and
served two terms, having places on im
portant committees. He was succeeded
by Hon James P. Pigott. All this was
in the Second congressional district The
age of this new nominee is about GO
years and they have been borne with
honor. Before bis service in Congress
he was a leading lawyer. When his ser
vices at Washington ended, he returned
quietly to Chester and resumed the prac
tice of law. He made a partnership
with a son of of ex-Congressman Sarx
uel L. Warner with an office at Middle
town. The firm has done an extensive
business. Mr Wilcox is said to be one
of the leaders of the Middlesex county
bar. "In bis Judgment," said one who
knows, "everybody reposes confidence.
lit is eminently judicial and will make a
good commissioner." The position is
for four years and the salary per year is
$3,000. The term begins next July.

If you have ever seen a child in tbe

don. It is the standard and, as such
the only blood-pnrlfier admitted at the
