The Willimantic JOURNAL suggests the Hon John M. Thayer, of Norwich, as an excellent man to go upon the bench of the superior court, and urges, also, the locality argument in his favor.- Hartford Times.
The JOURNAL has never made any such suggestion. Had we done so it would have been more natural to name a Windham county man for the place. The Times man should more carefully note the names of his exchanges when he peruses them, or endeavor to avoid committing what the late Richard Grant White called heterophomy.
