PREFACE.
THE "BiograpJiical Annals of Ohio" is tlie outcome of efforts to
preserve in ready reference form tlie names and history of the
men who have served the State. In 1888-1892, Col. William
A. Taylor, a well-known journalist, collected from official sources much
of the matter which appears within these covers and published as a pri-
vate enterprise "The Ohio Statesman and Hundred Year Book." The
General Asisemhly purchased end distributed an edition of 7,500
copies. In 1896-98 a revised edition under the name of the "Ohio
Statesman and Annals of Progress" was prepared by Col. Taylor. The
State through an act of the General Assembly purchased the manuscript
and copyright of the work and printed for gratuitous distribution an
edition of 9,500 copies.
In 1900-1901 another revision, prepared under direction of the
General Assembly by Mr. E. H. Gilkey was published under the name
of the Hundred Year Book.
The Act of May 12, 1902, contemplates the publication of a work
of this character biennially under the name of "The
Biographical Annals of Ohio." In order that the series may be com-
plete the matter heretofore published is reprinted in this volume cover-
ing the biographical history of Ohio from the formation of the I^orth-
west Territory in 1787 to July 1, 1902. It is not presumed that this
matter will be reprinted.
The present compilers make no claim to originality or authorship.
They acknowledge their obligations to Col. Taylor, Mr. Gilkey and the
others who have contributed hours of research and labor to the sum of
this result.

THE DECLARATIOiN OF THE INDEPENDENCE OF THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
In- Confederate Congress^ July 4th ^ 177 G.
THE UNANIMOUS DECLARATION OF THE THIRTEEN STATES OF AMERICA.
WHEN in tihe course of Inimiaii ovents it becomes necessary for oaie
peofple to dissolve tlie political bands wliiicli have coimected
them w*ith another, and to assume among the Powers of the
earth, the separate and. equal station to which the Laws of Na1;ure anid of
Nature^s God entitle them, a dlecent respect to the opinions of mankind re-
quires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the sepa-
ration .
We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal,
that thej are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights,
that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That
to secure these rights G-ovemments are instituted among men, deriving
their just powers from the consen't of the governed. That whenever any
Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is theKightof
the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government, laying
its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form;
as to them shall seem mjo^st likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should
not be changed for light and transient causes ; and accordingly all experi-
ence hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils
are sufferiable, than to right themiselves by aJbolishing the forms to which
they are accustomed. But when a long train of usages and usurpations,
pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under
absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such
Government, and to pi^ovide new Guards for their future security. Such
has been the patient sufferance of these colonies ; and such is now the
necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Govern-
ment. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of
repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in -direct object the estab-
lishment of an lalbsolute tyranny over these States. To prove this, let
Facts be submitted to a candid world .
He has refused his Asseoit to liaws, the most wholesome and necessary
for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and
pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent
should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to
attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large

diistricts ocf people, unless those people would relinquisili the right of Rep-
resentation in the Legislature, a right inestimaible to them land' fortmidable
to tyrants only .
He has called together legislative b'oidies at places unusual, uncom-
fortaible, land distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the
sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing witlh
manly firaiiness his linvasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time after such dissolutions, to cause
others to be elected; Whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Anni-
hilation, have returned to the people at large for their exercise; the State
remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from
without, anid convulsions within.
He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States; for that
purpose obstructing ithe Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners ; refusing to
pass others to encourage their migration hither, and raising the conditions
of new AppTopTiations of Land's.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his
Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of
their offices, and the amount and payme-nt of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms
of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace. Standing Armies, without
the Consent of our le-gislature .
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior
to the civil power.
He has combined with others tio subject us to a jurisdiotioai foreign
to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws ; giving his Assent
to their Acts of pretended Legislation :
For quartering large bodies of 'armed troops among us:
For protecting them by a moick trial, from punishment for any
Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States :
For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world :
For imposing taxes on us without our consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for preten.ded offenses :
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighboring
Province, establishing therein am Arbitrary government, and enlarging its
Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for
introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
For taking away our Charters, abolish our most valuable Laws, and
altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
THE BIOGRAPHICAL ANNALS OF OHIO. ^^
The Declaration of Independence.
For suspending our own Legisla'tures, and declqj'ing themselves in-
vested with Power to legislate for us in all eases wihatsoever.
He has ahdioated Government here, hy declaring us out of his pro-
tection anid waging war againsft us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns and
destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transportiaiig large armies of mercenaries to com-
plete the woirks of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with
circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely parallelled in the most bar-
barous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high
Seas to bear arms against their Country, to become the executioners of
their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their hands.
He has excited domestic insurrection amongst us, and has endeav-
oured to bring on the inhabitiajn'ts of our frontiers, the mei-eiless Imidian
Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction
of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in
the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered by
repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act
which may define a Tyrant, lis unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attention to our British brethren,. We
have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to
extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them
of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have
appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured
them by the ties of our common kindred to (disavow these usurpiations ,
which would inevitably interrupt our connectionis and our correspondence.
They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity . We
must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separa-
tion, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind. Enemies in War,
in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America,
in General Congress assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the
world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by
Authority of the Good people of these Colondes, solemnly publish and
declare. That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free
and Independent States; and that they are Absolved from all Allegiance
to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and
the State of Great Britain:, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that
as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, con-
elud'e Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other
Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for

Note. — ^Prior to the Denlaralior of Independence, and on the 12th day of
the preceding month, a connnibtee was appointed by the Continental Congress, "to
prepare and digest the form of a confederation to be entered into between these
colonies." The report of the committee was made on the 12th of July, and printed
copies placed in the hands of niember^ of the congress for their secret examination.
For two years T>he articles were under discussion by the members of the several
state legislatures to whom copies were sent by the new government, and on the
9th of July, 1778, the representatives in congress of the States of New Hampshire,
Massachusetts Bay, Ilhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New
York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and South Carolina, signed the form above which
had been agreed upon. To those states whose delegates being absent or uncertain
of their power, did not sign the form at this time. Congress addressed a request
for action with all convenient dispatch. North Carolina ratified the Act on the
21st of July, and Georgia on the ^AWx of the same month, thus giving the assent of
ten states to the instrument. The remaining ratiflcations were given; by New Jer-
sey, November 2G, 1778; by Delaware, May 5, 1779; and by Maryland, March 1,
1781.
Congress assembled under the Act of Confederation, March 2, 1781, the day

Who was the Author of the Obdinance of 1787"? — "There has been some
diversity of opinion as to the individual to whom the honor of the paternity of that
document rightfully belongs. Soine have claimed it for Mr. Jefferson, though he
did not claim it himself. The honor of drafting that instrument, on which the con-
stitutions of all the northwestern states are founded, belongs of right to Nathan
Dane, a revolutionary patriot of Massachusetts. He was its author, — he reported it
to Congress and persevered in explaining, and impressing it on their attention till
they became satisfied of its merits and adopted it by a unanimous vote, Mr. Jeffer-

RUTHERFORD BIRCHARD HAYES.
Rutherford Birchard Hayes, nineteenth president of the United States, was born
at Delaware, Ohio, October 4, 1822; graduated at Kenyon College, Ohio, in 1842, and at
Harvard Law School in 1845 ; began the practice of law at Fremont, Ohio ; removed to
Cincinnati in 1849; was city solicitor from 1858 to 1861; was appointed, June 27, 1863,
major Iwcnly-third Ohio Volunteers, of which W. S. Rosecrans was the first colonel and
Stanley Matthews (afterwards justice U. S. Supreme Court) lieutenant-colonel. He was
promoted i.ieuteuant-colonel October 24, 1861, from which date he commanded the Twenty
third until December, 1862. In the brilliant action of South Mountain (1862) he received
a severe wound in the left arm which compelled him to leave the field. A^ter the battle
of Aatietam the regiment was returned to West Virginia, where, November 30, 1862, he
rejoined it as colonel, having been promoted October 24. He was commissioned brigadier-
general of volunteers, to date from the battle of Cedar Creek, at the close of which he
received news of his election to Congress from the second district of Ohio ; was made
brevet major-general for gallant services, and resigned from the army June 1, 1865. In
December he took his seat in Congress ; was re-elected in 1866, but left his seat in 1867,
having been nominated for governor of Ohio, to which office he was elected in October and
re-elected in 1S6D. In 1872 he suffered his first defeat for Congress. In 1875 he reluctantly
txinsented to allow his name to be used once more as a candidate for governor, and was
olected for a third time, an honor never before conferred on a citizen of Ohio. On June
IG, 1876, he was nominated at Cincinnati for president of the United States, on the Re-
publican ticket, GO the seventh ballot, receiving 384 votes, to 351 for J. G. Blaine, and 21
for B. H. I'ristow. The ensuing canvass, which was bitter and exciting, was closed by
a disputed election, the electoral votes of Florida, South Carolina, and Louisiana, and
ons of those of Oregon being claimed by both parties. The Presidential Electoral Com-
mission nunounced, March 2, 1877, that he had been duly elected president of the United
States. The inauguration ceremonies took place on March 5. During the four years of
his office the afiairs of the government were conducted in a manner that will command
the favorab'e judgment of history. Died at Fremont, Ohio, January 17, 1893.

THE Ooinstitutiomal Convention of 1802 forms a connecting-link
between ithe Territorial and State Government which seems to
find its proper consideration at this point. The first session of
the Second (and last) Territorial Legislature, was adjourned by Gov-
ernor St. Clair in January, 1802, to meet in Cincinnati, November
29. The Congress, by an act of April 30, 1802, provided for the elec-
tion of members of a convention which should:
Eirst. Decide on the desirability of forming a state govern-
ment, and
Second.| Erame the constitution for the state should the conven-
tion decide the first question affirmatively.
This convention met in Chillicothe on Monday, November 1,
four weeks prior to the time set for the convening of the Second Ter-
ritorial Legislature in its second session, and on the day appointed for
the legislature to meet, promulgated the Eirst Constitution of the
State of Ohio.
Many members of the territorial legislature were members of this
first constitutional convention, and the following notes from the Journal
of that convention are republished as matters of history:

Cutler voted in the negative.
Note. — "Although more than a fourth of the members comprising the body
had expressed their opinion in very decided terms against the expediency of the
measure, and agamHt the manner of its accomplishment, yet the resolution was
carried. * * * Judge Cutler, an indomitable Whig, of Washington County, voting in
the negative, solitary and alone. ( Burnett's Notes on the Northwest Territory, p.
862-3.)
A resolution was adopted requesting the governor to prorogue the
territorial legislature which had adjourned in January last, to meet in
Cincinnati on the fourth Monday of the present month. But this was
not done, as the members of the legislature, many of whom were in
convention, manifested no disposition to interfere with the progread
of the Territory toward statehood. (See Burnett quoted.)
ITathaniel Willis was elected printer to the Convention, on the
terms of his proposition to print 700 copies of the Journal of Conven-
tion, and 1,000 copies of the constituition then being framed.
A resolution to submit the proposed constitution to the people is
found on page 15 of the Journal. It was disagreed to by the vote of 27
to 7, and the constitution was not submitted to the people, but was put
in operation by the act of the delegates to the convention in fonnally
signing the instrument in their representative capacity.

after its adoption, was defeated — yeas 3, nays 31.
A proposition to strike out of the bill of rights that part of the
second section relating to servitude of adult persons not negroes or
mulattoes, was defeated by a vote of 12 to 21.
A proposition to strike out that part of the same section which
forbids slavery or involuntary servitude in this state, was defeated
overwhelmingly, by a vote of yeas 2, nays 31.
Messrs. Paul and Iteily, of Hamilton County, voted in favor of the
proposition. (See Journal, p. 26; iN'ovember 20, 1802.)
A proposition to amend the third section of the bill of rights by
striking out (the words "no religious test shall be required," etc., and
inserting words to the effect that no person who denies the being of a
God, or a place of future rewards and punishments, shall hold office
in the civil government, was lost^ — ^yeas 3, nays 30.
In considering Article 4, on the twenty-second of E'ovember, the
Convention voted — ^yeas 19, nays 15 — to add these words to the end of
the article:
"Provided, that all male negroes and mulattoes, now residing in
this territory, shall be entitled to the right of suffrage, if they shall
within twelve months make a record of their citizenship."
As this is oneof the earliest records of an attempt to give the
right of suffrage to the negro in America, the vote on that proposition
is interesiting. Those who voted aye were : Abbot, Byrd, Cutler, Darlin-
ton, Dunlavy, Gatch, Gilman, Goforth, Grubb, Kitchel, Morrow, Paul,
Putnam, Reily, Sargent, Smith, Updegraff, Wells and Wilson^ — 19.
Those who voted in the negative were : Abrams, Baldwin, Bair, Browne.
Caldwell, Carpenter, Donaldson, Humphrey, Huntington, Kirker, Mc-
Intire, Massie, Milligan, Woods and Worthington- — 15.
At the same time the Convention refused, by a vote of 17 to 16, to
extend the right of suffrage to the male descendants of such negro
residents.
A motion was made to add to the seventh article of the constitution
a new secition, as follows :
"Section 7. l^o negro or mulatto shall ever be eligible to any
office, civil, or military, or give their oath in any court of justice againsc
a white person, be subject to do military duty, or pay a poll tax in this
state; provided always, and it is fully understood and declared, that

all negroes and mnlattoes, now in, or who may hereafter reside in this
state, shall be entitled to all the privileges of citizens of this state, not
excepted by this constitution."
This was agreed to by a vote of — yeas 19, nays 16 — as follows:
Yeas^ — Abrams, Baldwin, Bair, Byrd, Caldwell, Carpenter, Dar-
linton, Donaldson, 'Grnbb, Hnniphrey, Kirker, Massie, Mclntire, Mil-
ligan, Morrow, Smith, Tiffin, Woods and Worthington — 19.
N'ays — Abbot, Browne Cutler, Gatch, Gilman, Goforth, Hunt-
ington, Kitchel, Paul, Putnam, Reily, Sargent, Updegraff, Wells and
Wilson — 15.
On Friday, J^ovember 26, in considering Article IV, a motion
was made to strike out the provision which had been inserted on the
twenty-second, giving right of suffrage to megroes and mulattoes who
would prove their residence within twelve months. On this motion
the yeas and nays were taken and resulted, 17 to 17. There being
a tie vote, the president of the Convention (Edward Tiffin, afterward
governor of the State) voted in the affirmative, and the proposition
was stricken from the first constitution of the state. The change of
front was brought about by the vote of the president and of the Messrs.
Darlinton, Grubb and Smith, who had previously voted to add this pro-
vision to the constitution. On the other hand, Mr. Browne, who had
voted against the proposition in the first instance now voted to reitain
it as a part of the organic law of the state. (P. 34.) Mr. Donaldson,
who had opposed the proposition on the twenty-second, refrained from
voting on the question as now presen^ted.
A proposition was made to strike out the fifth section of Article
IV, relating to labor on roads, and its relation to an elector's qualifica-
tions, which was defeated by a vote of 13 to 21.
A provision in Article VII, Section 3, ithat ^^no new county shall
be established by the legislature, which is not entitled by its numbers
to a representative," was stricken out by a vote of 22 to 12.
An effort to make the minimum number of square miles in a
county five hundred instead of four hundred was defeajted, 11 to 23.
A motion to strike out the section (7) added to Article VII on the
twenty ^second, in relation to the bar to negroes in office, etc., was carried
by a vote of 17 to 16.
On this vote Messrs. Dunlavy (who had not voted on this propo-
sition before), and Milligan (who had voted to incorporate it in the
article), voted with the friends of the negro, and caused the amend-
ment to be made. President Tiffin, who had voted for the incorporation
of the section on the twenty-second, is not recorded on this later vote.
The friends of the restriction tried to have it inserted in an amended

form, but on a demand for the previous question were outgeneralled,
and defeated. (P. 36.)
Bj a vote of 20 to 13, the convention inserted a provision in
Section 2, Article VIII, prohibiting in this state the indenture of any
negro or mulatto.
Early in the sitting of the convention the following message was
adopted and ordered to be officially transmitted to the representatives
of the United States:

father of the judge of that name, drew up a code of rules on a sheet of
ordinary foolscap, which he published by tacking them to the trunk of a
large oak tree on the site of the infant settlement. This was the first
iegislation in the territory, and it is said that the code was rigidly adhered
to by the pioneers of that country. The late General Manning F. Force,
in an historical sketch in "Bench and Bar of Ohio" (1897), is authority
for the statement that "history has recoidod no infraction of these' reg-
ulations which were read and approved by all."
Governor St. Clair, who had been occupied since his appointment
in continuous efforts to conciliate the Indians of the territory, and in
preparing for the needs of the infant settlement, arrisrcd at Marietta
with his official family on Wednesday, July 9, and on Tuesday. July 15,
in public ceremonies held in the three- months-old town of Marietta,
entered upon the discharge of his official duties. The Ordinance of 1787
was read to the settlers by Secretary Winthrop Sargent, after which the
commissions of the (Tovernor, Secretary and the Judges were publicly
read, and the Goverrior addressed the people briefly.
The territorial government thus set up consisted of the following
otncers who were present and participated in the ceremony: 'Governor,
Arthur St, C1;iii": Secretary, Winthrop Sargent; Judges, Parsons and
Vnrnum.

The First Legislative Council of the Northwest Territory (1788).
This group of officers ooimprised the First Legislati/ve Council of the
Northwest Territory, and during the summer and fall of the year pub-
ji&hed at Marietta laws on the following subjects:
(1788), July 25 — Regulating and establishing the Militia.
(1788), August 23— Eistablishing General Courts of Quarter Ses-
sions, Common Pleas, and foT the appointment of Sheriffs.
(1788), August 30— Establishing a Court of Probate.
(1788), August 30U-Pixing the terms of the General Court.
(1788), September 2 — Prescribing the forms of oaths of office.
(1788), September 6 — ^Eespecting crimes and punishments.
(1788), November 23 — ^Eegulating marriages (age for male 17,
female 14, with consent of fathers of parties) .
(1788), November 23 — Fixing monthly tinea for failure of recruit
in militia tO' provide himself with the proper equipment.
(1788), Deceniber 21 — ^Creating the office of Coroner.
(1788), December 28 — Limiting the times of civil actions and for
instituting criminal prosecutions.
Each of the above laws was undersigned by Messrs. St. Clair, Par-
sons, and Yarnum, on the dates given, the signature of Judge John Cleves
Symmes appearing on the law of August 30, — establishing a Court of
Probate — but on no other. His arrival in the colony is thus fixed at
a much earlier day than that given in most authorities. — (Territorial
Laws. )
Governor St. Clair withheld his approval to a proposed law relating
to estates held in common; he also, on July 30, called the attention of
the judges to the provision of the ordinance which empowered them to
"adopt'^ the laws of the older statesi, and expressed it as his opinion that
they were overstepping their authority in forming new laws in any case;
"And when we do/^ he adds, "the necessity of the case only can be our
justification." This opinion of the GoveTOor was fully borne out, when,
at a later period, the council found it wise to repeal by whoh^ale laws
of their own making which had no foundation in the code of lho older
states, and adopt others which conformed to this requirement in their
stead. — (St. Clair Papers).
Judge Vamum died in 1789.
THE, SECOJSTD LiEGMSLATIVE COUKOIL.
(1789.)
THE ratifioation of the Conisititution of the United States by a suffi-
Ciien't niimbeT of states having oioeurred durirLg the latter ptart of
the year 1784, and President Washington having assumed the
reins of government thereunder, it was construed to be the duty of the
Executive to appoint such officers whose commissions, having been is-
sued by the Congress under the old form of governmont, weire held to
have expired with that governm.ent. In pursuance of this conception of
his duty, the President, in a letter dated ISTew York, Augusit 18, 1789,
nominated for the officers of the Northwest T'erritory : Arthur St. Clair,
for Governor, and Messrs. Samuel Holden Parsons, John Cleves
Symmes, and William Barton (vice Yamum, deoeiased), Judges. The
nominations were confirmed by the Senate of the United States, but Mr.
Barton declining fhe appointment, the President nominated Mr. George
Turner, who was confirmed on the eighth day of September.
There is no public record of the 'aicts of the oounicil during the yegr
1789. In November of this year, Judge P'arsons, who was the Chief
Justice of the court, was drowned in a ford in the Muskingum valley,
while returning to the seat of government from a treaty council with the
Indians of the Western Ee'serve.

ing Governor, sat with Messrs. Synunes and Turner, Governor St. Clair
being absent in the eastern states, and no successor sitting in the room
of Judge Parsons, who had been succeeded by General Enfus Putnam,
Jr., of Miarietta. This ooaincil, in its meeting at Vin'cennes, published
the following laws, which were afterwards disaipproved and ordered to

The twOi houses having met and organized by the election of their
officers, on the sixteenth of Septembeir, on the following djay Goveimo'r
St. Clair addi^essed the legislature in eloquent teirms, congratulating the
body • and the T'eiritoiry on the new form of legislative goivemmient in
which the people now had a direct voicfe in the conduct of aifairis. Jacob
Bumiet, a miember of the council, writing after the lapse of a half oen-
tury, says in his "Notes on the !N"oTthwest Territo^ry^' (Cincinnati, 1847) :
"He laid beforei them a full and faithful view of the^ oonidition and
the wants of the Territory, and redom.mended to their attention such
meaisures as hfe' believed were proper to advance the prosp'erity and happi-
ness of the people" (p. 300).
Governor St. Clair had been ini active discharge of thie duties of the
chief executivie of the T'erritory continuously igince he had superviised the
dispatch of the first .settlers: to the then unsettled west in 1788; he had
joined thie first colony at Marietta within three months of its arrival
(July, 1788), and had been one of the legislators for the colonies up to-
the time of the me'eting of this first territorial assembly; out of the
experience of over eleven pioneier yeairsi, the governor spote to the leg-
islators of the work before them, as no better equipped man dould speak,
for there was no man of better equip'ment for the duty. Of Governor
St. Clair's influence at thiis time Mr. Burnet says (p. 378) : "And it
may be said with gr^at truth, that at the time he addressed the First
Territiorial Legislature in 1799, he posselsised as great, if not a greater
shiaire of the confidenoe and respect of the people of the Territory than any
other individual residing in it."
THE BIOGRAPHICAL ANNALS OF OHIO. 137
The First Session of the First Territorial Legislature.
This betmg ihe first fsessiom of any repiiB^eiiitative legislajtive body in
the Tefrritory, the tramsitioai from the first to the isecxm'd gmd^ of gov-
ernment inytolved a generial revilsAon of the laws in foTce; new laws to meet
the changied conditions ; new officers and new duties for those already estab-
lished; and a plan must be conceived by wthich to meet the increased ex-
pienditnres of a semi-independent goveTnment. Many of the members
boing inexperienced in legislative matte(rs, the active work of the session
fell on a few of the men who had been moist closely identified with the
previous history of the settlements.
On the third of October the two houses in joint session elected
William Henry Harrison as delegate from the T'erritory in the Congress
of the United States, his election being contesited by Arthur St. Clair, Jr.,
who wals beaten by one vote. Captain Harrison was secretary of the
Territofiy at the time of his election, Mr. St. Clair, son of the G^ovemor,
being its aittorniey. Mr. Hanrison resigned his position as secretary and
at once pirfoceeded to his duties in the Congreiss.
It is hard tO' present the history of this session of the legislature in
the limits allowed in a publication of this nature. The existing laws
were a poor apology for a. coide; the Ordinance of 1787 formed a broad
and libieral baisisi for the government which hais since grown up under its'
provisions, but there was much legislation needed to' isupplement and make
practical its several declarations. The governior and the judges had selected
or maide lawsi, fromi time to itime, negleicting many important interests,
and impierfeotly providing for others which were touched upon; one of
the statutes of Virginiai had been adopted which put in operation the
English common law and certain Englisih statutes of a date prior to' the
fourth, year of the reign of James I. ; statutes from the original states
had been called upon to supply, in whole or in part, contributions to
the code of statute law in the Tlerritory, and there fell upon the legisla-
ture at this fiirst session the duty of "repealing, amending, enacting and
supplementing," in isuch manner as appealed to the best judgment of the
pioneers who composed the body, until on their adjournment on the
nineteenth day of December, 1799, there had been laid the foundation
for much of the subsequent public law in the Territory and in those states
which have been carved out of it.
Eollowing is a isumnuairy of the acts of this aissembly :
'acts OF THE FIRST SESSION OF THE FIRST TERRITORIAL LEGISLATURE (1799).

this book that Solomon Sibley was appointed a committee to superintend the print-
ing of the laws of the session, on December 5. Mr. Sibley certifies, May 7 following,
that he has carefully compared the printed laws with the original enrolled bills,
and finds them to agree. The act bears the signatures of Edward Tiffin, Speaker
of the House of Representatives, H. Vanderburgh, President of the Council, and are

THE SiEOOND SESSION OF THE FIRST TERRITOEIAL
LEGISLATURE.
(Chillcothe, Novembeb 3, 1800.)
IT wiajs in oommoction with tiliie work of this fin»t session of the legisMiure
that the signs of a^proaiohing disagreement with the govemoir nuajde
their aippeairance. Gov^elmar St. Clair (aissTimeid that he was a bilalnoh
of th^e lassembly and that he had an ahsoliite right to veto the ajcts of the
two homses. He claimed the right, as goviemior, to lay out and change
the hoaindairies of ooniities under the Otpdiniance of 1787, regacrdless of
the exprressions frpom the legiislatniie, aaid was no dofiibt sincere in his
effoipfcs to perform that which he looked upon as his sworn duty. The
result of his action) was, however, to bring about a strained relation which
only grew in force ajs time went on. Judge Bumet says, in the book
alreaidy quoted: "The effect of the construction he gave of his own power
may be iSeen in the faet that of thirty bills paissed by the two houses
during the first scission, and sent to him- for his approval, he refuseid
assent to eleven', some of which were supposed to be of much importance,
and all of them eakulated, more lor leasi, to advanioe the public interest.
S'ome of them he rejected beoauisie they related to the estaiblishm'ent
oif new eOiuoitieis; others becaiulse he thought they were unnecessary or in-
expedient. Thus, more than a third of the fruits of the labor of that
entire session wais lost by the exercise of the arbitrary discretion of one
man." (p. 376.)
In thi0 eonneotion it may be iwell to aidd that the governor was not
sustained in his polsitioin when he submitted toi the Sienate of the United
States his repiotrt of new counties laid out after the legislature of the
Territoiry had eomie into existenicfe. It wais held that the governor of the
Tk-ritoiry hald exhausted his authority when he had once laid out the
whole tertritoiry into cioouities (which Goverlior St. Clair had done eatrly
in his administration) and that subsequent rearrangemetnts or divisions
vested solely in the territorial legislaiture. This decision was not aieaohed
in time to prevent a recurrence of -the differiences between the govemOT
and the legislature at its second seslsion in 1800, but was graitifying to
those membetrs who had beien engaged on the legislative iside of the ques-
tion during the first twto isessions.
The legislature istood proroigued to meet in Cinciinnati on the first
Monday in November, 1800. By refeiremce to an act of Cfongress of
the United States May 7 of 'that yeatr (See Pairt One), it will be noticeld
that after the adjounnment of the first sessiion of the legislature, the
Northwest Territory was divided by a line rumiing due north from the

mouith of ithe Keaitucky Eiver, inito an easfcem part which Tetained th'e
old namiQ amid govermniieait, and ai westiern piairt which was given the name
of THE TERRiTOEY OF INDIANA^ and a nicw government of the first grade
established thel"ein, the officers of which were toi be appointed by the
President. This act of C'OQgresis was aioquiesced in by the G'overnor and
legislatnre of the tenritoiry with great reluctance, aaid wais regarded by
the beist m^en in the Tierritoiry to be an -unwarranted agsumpition of legis-
lative power on the pa;rt of the Congress. President Vis^niderburg of the
Gonncil wals thns legislated ont of offiice and became la citizen of the new
territoTy. Eepireisentativeis Shadrack Bond, of St. ClaiT County, John
Edgar, of Randolph Cbnnty, and John Small, lof Knox County, also
lost their seats in the Honse of Eiepreisentatives for the igame reasdn, and
the constituents of these gentlemen were isummarily deprived of a voice
and a membership in that local territorial government, for which they had
but recently voted. The seiat of government for the new territory was
fixed by Congress at Vincennes, and the siame aict named the village of
Chillioothe, inistead loif -the already established capital at Cincinnaiti, as the
seat of government for the old teirtritory. It Was charged tihat this act
of Congress was urged by two ot three ardent anid aggressive spirits
who hoped to bring about san early state govemmient in Ohio, and were
already planning 'to aeoomplish the removal of Governor St. Clair and
his administration.
Pursuant to the call issued by the Governor under the new order,
the miembera of the legislature met in Chillicothe on the third day of
November, 1800. This was almotet exactly one hundred year's ago, it
being an interesting fact that the editor writes these lines on the twenty-
sixth day of October, 1900. The council met in the house of Joseph
Tiffin, the council chamber in the new oapitol not being ready for occu-
pancy. As there is no record to' the contrary, it is probable that the
represetntatives were better provideid for. The composition of th« legis-
lature at thils iseoond session was as follows:
IN THE COUNCIL.
Jaoob Burnet, of Hamilton County (Cincinnati).
Eobert Oliver, of Washington County (Marietta).
David Vance, of Jefferson County (Vanceville).
Jameis Findlay, of Hamilton County (Oinciwnati).
Mr. Vanderburg, of Vincennes, having for reasons already given,
lost his seat in the icouncil, Mr. Oliver .was elected president of that body,
Mr. Williaml 0. Sehenck (secretary of the Territory) acting as secretary
to the oouncil, ajnd WilMlam Eutledge being elected doorkeeper. To
fill the vaiealncy in <sounicil, the Governor reque^d the Houise of Repre-
sentatives to nominate to the Presiident of the United Sitates two names

One of the first dutiteis devolving oe the legislature was the election
of a delegate to Congress to suooeed Captaiin William Henry Harrison,
who had resigned to accept the appiointment atS governor of the territory
of Indiana, and also to elect a delegate for th'e long term beginniag on the
fifth day of March, 1801. On the sixth day of November the two houses
met in joint iSelsision in aooordance with a previous resolution to that effect,
and elected ais delegates to Congress: William McMillan, of Hamilton
County, for the unexpired term ending March 4, 1801, and Paul Fearing,
of Washington County, for the term ending on the fourth day of March,
1803.
As will be noticed, the selectioms were made from the members of the
House of Representatives.

The Second Session of the First Territorial Legislature.
Mr. McMillaai at onoe rasigned fcrom the House and proceeded to his
new duties.
The wiork of leigislation was hegun with mutual expTessions of regard
between the G^O'VeanJOlr amd thie memhere of the assembly, notwithstandiing
the differenjoeis of the praceding winter. On NovembeT b, the Gov^moir
visited the joint asisiembly aind delivered an aiuinual meseage of kindly
totne in which he ispoke of the near 'approiach of the end of his term of
office anid of their own,. He meoitioned the efforts of his ajdversaries only
to remiark: "The rem'orse of their own comiscieniceis will one day be pun-
ishment sufficient. Their acts may, howeveir, succeed. Be that as it may,
this I am certaiai, that, be my isucoesaor who he may, he can niever 'have
the interests of the people of this Tierritory more truly at heart than I
have had for them, ruor labor moire assiduously for their good than I have
done; and I am not consciouls tbat any one act of my administration has
been inliuenoed by any other motive than a^ sincere deisire to promote their
welfare and happiness. ^^
To this the assembly drafted its formal reply and asked the Governor -
to fix an hour wh,eai he could receive the ooonmittee and hear the same.
On receiving an intimation of his convenience, the committee fotrmally
wfaited on him in the executive chamjber at 10 o'clock a., m., Monday,
November 17, anid afterward returned to their respective houses bearing
with them the formal reply of his excellency to their address. This second
communication from St. Clair is a feeling response to the expre'ssionis of
confidence in which ithe House had clothed its message to him.
Grovemior St. Clair, in a message to the House December 2, 1800,
calls to their attention the fact that, as hiis term of office expires in one
week from that day, it will be necessary that the session must end on
that day, and therefore any business of impiortance to be transacted should
njot be too long postponed. He says in this case the Secretary of the
-Territory can not supply to the Aissembly the place of a Govemior.
French dnihabitants of the County of Wayne presented to the House,
December 4, a pietition in French language which was referred to Messrs.
Kimberly and Yisger for tranisktion. (p. 95.) This committee repoirt>ed
later in the day that the petition wals for a redresis of certain grievances,
and it was referred to the Committee on Propositions and Grievances.
A proposition was submitted that the aissembly should hold its ses-
sions in rotation als follows: The first session to be held in the town of
Mairietta, the (second in the town of Cinicinnati, and the third in the towQ of
Chillicothje. This was agreed to by the House, 10 to 8.
A motion to hold the sessions in Cincinnati was lost, 4 to 14. THie bill
Ms finally defeated by striking out the enaicting clause, on a vote not
given, (p. 109.)

The First Session of the Second Territorial General Assembly.
The Houise OTganized <m the tweety-fouTtli of November iby the
electiooi of the fiollowing offioars: Eidward Tiffin, Speaker; John Eeilly,
Clerk.
The seiats of MiessTs. Scheifflin and McDougall, lof Wayne Coiunty,
were oontesited, bnt they were declared to be entitled to their seats.
The fiinianoeis lof the Territory were in snch condition that the gov-
ernor, w'ho had been reappointed dnring the ladjonrnment of the aissembly,
in his address at a joint isession of the two hionses eaUed toi be held in
"Mr. Gregg's HalF' for the purpose said: "The T^ritory is in debt
in the sum of $5,419 beyond the whole revenue for the present year.
A new emission of bills (of credit) must be made, even to meet the ex-
penses of the present session. A wretched expedient, it is true, because the
bills suffer a depreciation in the hands they paiss through, anld the public
pays the full interest.''
During this isiession of the G-enierial Assembly, a bill was passed trans-
ferring the ©eat of govennimient to Cincinnati, from which city it had been
remoA^ed by a provision in the tenritoriial act of 1800, 'ajnd as an expres-
sion of feeling on the pairt of the local inhabitants, a number of the
members of the legislature, laod also the govemoa*, were set upon in Chilli-
cothe on the twenty-fifth and twenty-isixith of Decembier. The matter
was made a subject for official investigation.
At 12 of'dock njoon, on Janaiary twenty-third, the Cbuncil attended
the chamber of the House of Representatives in a body, where the j'oint
assembly was addrelsised by Goviernor St. Clair, and adjourned by him to
meet in second session in Cincinnati on the fourth Monday of the folloiwing
November. (1802.) It should be noted hcTe that this prropiosed second
session of the second and last territoirial legislature was never held.
The reason is given in the following interesting extract from the memoirs
of a memb'ea* of !the Council speaiking of the first constitutional convention :
^*As the territorial legislature was in existence, and isitood adjourned,
to meet at Cincinnati om the fourth Monlday in November, three weeks
after the opening of the convention, a resolution was passed, directing
their president to request the governor to dissolve or prorogue 'that body.
Such a pireoaution ^was altogether unnecessary, ais no dispoisition existed
among the memlb'ers, either to embarrassi, or in amy way interfere with the
movements of the convention. That such a disposition did not exist was
verified by the facft that the day for the meeting of the legislature oame
anid passed; the miembers remaining at home ais by coimmon consent. No
attempt was made by the governior, or by any of the members, to convene
that body, till its exiistence was terminaited, and it was -succeeded by the
General Assembly, under the State Constitution." (Notes on the North-
western Territory, 1847, by Judge Jacob Burnett, a member of >the Terri-
toirial Council.)

sum of twelve thousand dollars for what is called a contingent fund, and then pro-
vides for its disbursement in detail. Some of the items are interesting as convey-
ing information as to the nature and amount of the territorial expenses a hundred
years ago.
The governor is allowed fifty dollars for postage "upon letters of a public nature."

THE QUBSTIOIsr OF THE BOUNDAEY OF THE STATE.
THE quetatioiDj of boimd'ary, though not expressly referred to the oon-
vention (The CoTistitutioai'al CiorLvention of 1802) was one of
greater importance than would appiear at first view. It is generally
knjO'wn to thoise who have consulted the ma pis of the western country extant
at the time the Ordinance of 1787 was passed, that Lake Michigan was
represented as being very far north of the position which it hais ®ince been
ascertained to occupy. On a map in the Departmenit of State (at Washing-
ton) which was before the committee of Congreiss who formed the ordi-
nance for the gov'emment of the Territoiry, thie southern boundary of that
lake waiS laid doiwn as being near the forrty-seoond degree of north lati-
tude;, an^d there was a pencil line paissing through the isouthem bend of
the lake, to the Canada line, which intersected the strait between the Eiver
Rai©in and the town of Detroit. The line was manifestly intended by the
committee, and by Congress, to be the noirthem boundary of this state;
and that map, and the line marked on. it, should have been taken as con-
clusive evidence of the boundary, without ref erenoe tO' the actuial position
of the southern extreme of the lake.
Wh.en the C'onvemtion was in session in 1802, it was the prevailing
opinion that the old maps were coirrect; and that the line, as defined in
the oiildiniance, would terminate at some point on the strait far above the
Maumee Bay; but, while that 'subject was under discussion, a man who
had hunted many y^ars on Lake Michigam and was well acquainted with
it® poisition, happened to be in Chillico'the, and in conversation with some
of the miembers, mentioned tO' them that the lake extended much farther
south than was generally supposed; and that a mapi he had seen placed
its southern bend matny miles notrth of its truie piosition. Hiis statemient
piroduceid some apprehension and excitement on the subject, and indujoed
the convention to change the line presicribed in the act of Congress, so
far as tO' provide that if it should be found to strike I^ake Erie below the
Maumee River, as th'e hunter informed them it would, them the boundary
of the state should be a line drawn from the pioint where the prescribed
line intersected the west boundary of the state, direict to the most northern
cape of the Maiumee Bay. TOiat provision saved to the State of Ohio the
valuable poirts and harbors on the Maumee River and bay, which were the
prize contendeid for in the "Michigan war of GroveTnoa- Lucas." Yet some
of the members (of the Ciomvention) hesitated in making the provision,
lest it might cause delay; but fortunately it wais adopted and its object is
now secure." (Burnett's "Kotes on the Northwestern Territory," 1847,
p. 360.) (See also the language of the Acts of Congress, 1800, 1802-1812,
quoted in Part I of this publication. — Editor.

THE aENEEAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO.
(1803-1902.)
THE third legisliative body to icome intO' powor in the territory ciom-
prised in the present isttate was tiie Greneral Assembly of the State
of Ohio^ whiich, foiUowing the adoption of the State Comstitution
ainid the admission ol the state into the Uniion of States, wais organized fo-r
its first session, on the first day of Mairch, 1803.
Tbe legislative bioidy thus inaugurated has beien an en ormolus factor
foir good in the omward aaiid forward ptrogress of OiMo during the past Imn-
dred years. No group of men have served the state with so little personal
gain as have her legislators. No body of public men. has done so moich
to emcouirage miO'rality, industry aaaid patriotism. The wander oif it is — not
that legiBlatoirts have oooasionially made pensonal mistakes — rbut thiat in
no matter what strait or dilemma, Ohio has. always had in hier service,
practically without leompemsatiO'n, so many mien wiho' were not only patrioits,
but mJen who exhibited the wiisdoim laod had the courage to' handle the
a,ff airs of isitate with hjonor tO' themsielves, to tlieir constituents and the name
of an Ohioan. When the enioirmons poiweir Oif a GeneTal Asisembly is fairly
unjderstood, the moire honor is found tO' b^e due those men who, since the first
settler landed on 'thie western bank of the Ohio', in 1788, bave never used
that poiwer as a. body, except to advance the state in dignity and in pros-
perity, land in evidences' of fealty in every hour lof danger to the general
goveirnnient. More or less acqualintance with members of recent aissem-
blies, and a quite studions attention tO' the records of the past century
in Ohio, gives pioint to these observations.

TWENTIETH AND TWENTY-SECOND DISTRICT.
Composed of the counties of Belmont, Harrison, Jefferson and Columbiana.
FRANK B. ARCHER, op Bellaibe.
President Pro Tern.
The Senator from the Twentieth and Twenty- second Districts, who is now serving
his second term in the Senate, had the unusual honor to be twice nominated to rep-
resent his district in the 74th and 75th Greneral Assemblies of Ohio by acclamation.
He is an active and enthusiastic Republican in Eastern Ohio, and his nomination was
the natural expression of the confidence of his constituents in his ability to look after
their interests, both as partisans and as citizens of Ohio, a trust which has not been
misplaced.
Senator Archer was born in Bellaire on the 20th day of May, 1858, and, as
his father died in the fall of that year, leaving the mother with six children to
support, the educational advantages afforded him were meagre. At the age of 12
years the boy went to work in a glass factory in Bellaire, and by the time he had
passed his 17th birthday he had finished his apprenticeship at the trade and was
commanding the wages of a master tradesman in the business. In 1884 he left the
factory to engage in the stationery and insurance business. Two years pre-
viously he had been elected To^vnship Treasurer of Pultney township, and this served
to introduce him to the political field of activity.
He has served two terms as a member of the City Council of Bellaire, and
was for two years President of that body. He was elected Treasurer of Belmont
county in 1889, and was re-elected for a second term to that office. He was promi-
nently mentioned for State Treasurer at the State Convention of his party at
Zanesville, but was defeated in the nomination largely by geographical considerations
in the make-up of the ticket. Senator Archer has served his party twice as Chair-

Of recent years the Senator has been engaged in the business of general con-
tractor. During his first term his most conspicuous service was as a member of the
standing committees on Finance, Railroads, Taxation, Public Works and Public
Lands, and on Manufactures and Commerce, being chairman of the last two com-
mittees named. In addition to his duties as the junior presiding officer of the

GEORGE H. CHAMBERLAIN, of Elybia.
Chairmcm of the Committee on Federal Relation.
The nomination by the Republicans of the Twenty-seventh-Twenty-ninth Senator-
ial district of Hon. George H. Chamberlain of Elyria was received with enthusiasm
in every section of the district where Mr. Chamberlain is universally recognized as
an able lawyer and a man of high character and attainments. He was born on a
farm in Lorain county, June 21, 1862, receiving his early education in the district
schools. At the age of 17 young Chamberlain went to Oberlin to pursue his studies,
teaching school winters to pay his way. In the fall of 1884 he entered the law
office of E. G. Johnson, Elyria, Ohio, and was admitted to the bar of Ohio in June,
1887. Since that time, with the exception of six years, from 1889 to 1895, when he
lived in Milwaukee, Wis,, he has practiced law in Elyria.
Mr. Chamberlain descended from good Vermont and York state stock, and
early in life became interested in all political and patriotic events. He has always
been a stanch Republican in politics. When it came to the election in a district
nominally Republican by 3,000 votes, he received a majority of 3,800.

children, four boys and three girls. He is a trustee and member of the official board
of the M. E. Church and superintendent of the Sunday school. He is prominently

STEPHEN D. CRITES, of Elida.
Chairman of the Committee on Ditches and Drains.
Senator Crites, Democrat from the 32d District, is the eldest son of Jacob (and
Mary J. Oameron) Orites; was born in Grerman township, Allen county, Ohio, No-
vember 28, 1847, and has ever since been a resident of his native township. He was
brought up on the farm and experienced many of the hardships and privations
incident to pioneer life. He was educated at the schools of his native township
and at the National Normal University at Lebanon, Ohio, when Alfred Holbrook
was President of that institution. He began teaching at the age of eighteen; in
September, 1870, he was elected Superintendent of the Elida public schools, which
position he successfully held for twelve successive years, when he was forced to
resign on account of ill health. From 1876 to 1888 he was a member of the Allen
County Board of School Examiners. He was for nine years a Justice of the Peace
in his home township. In 1883 he turned his attention from school work to the-
outdoor work of farming and stock raising. In 1895 he purchased the grain ele-
vator in Elida, which he has modernized and brought into a condition of in-
creased activity and prosperity. This he manages in addition to the active man-
agement of his farm.
Mr. Crites was a warm supporter of William J. Bryan in 1896 and again in

WARREN G. HARDING, of Marion.
It is thoroughly characteristic of the Senator from the Thirteenth District that
Jii's hastily written and modestly worded answer to a request for certiaiii iiecessary
personal information, a year or more ago, should take this form: "Warren G. Hard-
ing, iSenator from the 13th district; born in Blooming Grove, Morrow county, Novem-
ber 2, 1865. Has resided in Marion since 1882. Secured an academic education at the
old Ohio Central College at Iberia, — ^not now in existence. Taught school in 1882.
Studied law one year, then became a newspaper writer, becoming owner of the
Marion Star in 1884. Has it yet. Was nominated for Senate July 17, 1899, at
Marion — first whirl in politics — and was elected by nearly 1800."
To this may now be added the later fact that, after his first term in the Sen-
ate he was renominated and re-elected to succeed himself, in a district which has but
once in the past half century so honored its representative in the Ohio Senate. Sen-
ator Harding's personal popularity has broken the "one term" rule in his Senatorial
district.
Senator Harding is one of the young men in the Ohio Senate. His earnestness in
debate is equalled only by his frankness of statement. His first term of service in
the Senate was marked by the fact that he introduced in the Senate, and stood spon-
sor in the General Assembly for the bill reported to the Governor by the Municipal
Code Commission.
He is a member of the standing committees on Claims, Common Schools and
School Lands, Federal Relation, Finance, Industrial Schools for Boys and Girls, Mili-
tary Affairs, Taxation, Universities and Colleges, Banks, Building and Loan

to the Senate almost directly from serving two terms as Probate Judge of Seneca
county, and brings to the consideration of proposed legislation the trained mind of a
successful judge whose experiences lie directly along the lines of the private and
personal interests of the common people. The litigation before the Probate Court is
a fruitful source of private weal or woe, and a legislator whose previous training
has been along these lines in actual practice, has a distinct advanteige in consider
ing the possibilities which lie wrapped up in the numerous propositions which come
before the General Assembly.

Royer again devoted himself to his profession and at the time of his election to the

THE GOVEENOR.
SKETCH OF THE GOVERNOR.
GEORGE K. NASH, the presenit G^emior of Ohio (see Part I,
facing page 7), was .born in Medina County, August 14, 1842.
His early life was spent on the fa,rm, where his parents settled
after emigratimg frtom Massachtisetts. His early eduoatiooi was ohtained
at the distniict schools of his toiwnishipi, whore he prepamed for college,
entering Oherlin at the age of twenty. During his sophomoire year at this
institution the great struggle between the North /aoid South had readied
a criisisi, and like miany of the patribtic youth of his time, he felt it
his duity to respond tio the call to amiis. AocoTidingly he enlisted as a
priv<ate in the 150th 0. N. G., seiring with his characteristic integrity
and thoroughness until idtischarged. Immediateily after the iclose of the war,
he began the study lof law, and in 1867 was admitted to the Biair.
Since that time his career m a lawyer has been one of steady advance-
ment and increasing renown. In 1870 he was elected Prosieouting Attoimey
of Ftianklin Cb'UJity amid at the end of the teirm was choisen to succeed
himself. In 1877 he was the Republician ciandidate fOT Attonmey-Generial,
anid though defeated with his party, he made a gallant fight. In 1879 he
algain ran for the same offitce and was elected. Ttwoi years later he was
re-elected, thuis holding the important anjd honoraible position of Attoimiey-
Gienerai for la period of four yeans. Further and higher honors awaited him.
In 1883 Governor Foster, his wa'rm friend and supporter, appointed
him a membier of the Supreme Court Oommission, which body was cre-
ated to aid the Suprpeme Conrt in coonpleting unfinished work. This com-
mission sat for two yeairs, and when its Work was findjshed. Judge Xash, as
he thieu' became kno^wn, returned tO' the pralctice of the laiw.
Althiough taking a great interest in piolitios and doing mndh work
for his party iini various capacities, the duties of his profession consumed
by far the greater pontion of his time. In the spring of 1899 he became a
candidate for nomination fo-r Govemior, and at the convention held in Co-
lumbus in the following June was successful, being nominated on the sec-
ond ballot by 461 votes out of a total of 820 cast. The following N'ovember,
after a ispirited and interesting ^campaign, he was elected Governor by a
plurality of 49,000 votes. In 1901 he was renominated by acclamation,
and re-elected by a plurality of 67,567.
THE OFFICE OF GOVERNOR.
The Constitution of Ohio pirovides that "The supreme executive power
of the state shall be vested in the GovemoT."
(492)
THE BIOGRAPHICAL ANNALS OF OHIO. 493
The Governor.
He is elected by the people for la teirm of twioi yeara. He must be
aai electoT and mot hold any other offioe unider the authority of the State
or the United Sitetes. Ini case of deaith, removal or other disability, the
Liefntenant-Goveamor shall execute the offioe of G^oMemolr. The G^otvemor
miuist 0ee thait tlhe law's are faithfuilly execufted and may reqneist of the
execu'tive officials rep'0[rts of their respective departments.
Ait every session of the General Assembly he must report the con-
dition of the state by messaige, recommeniding 'therein such legislation as may
to him iseem proper. He miay convene the General Assembly upon ex-
traiOfrdiniary occasions. He may adjourn it in case of disagreement upon
this 'Subject between the twO' brancheisi thereof.
The GovernoT is Commiander-in- Chief of the army and navy and
cusitoidian of the Great Seal of the State.
He miay grant repirievess commutations and piatrdons.
Such, briefly, are the constitutdionial pirovisions relating to the Chief
Execntive. It will be observed that 'the customiao^'' veto power is withheld.
In addition to the powers confeTired amid duties imposed upon the Gov-
ernor by the Oonistitution, are those which the General Assembly has seen
fit to pirovide by statute, and it is through these that the greater portion of
the laotual duties of this office arise, las well as moist of the appointive power
of the GovemoT. As Ciommiander-in-Chief of the 'army and navy, it seems
appropriate that he shonld appoint the Adjutant-General, and the sixteen
otheir members of his military istaff.
There lare certain state offices not creaJted by the Constitution whoise
chief incnmbents are nomiulated by the Governoir, and by and with the ad-
viice and consent of the Sienate appointed. Such aire the Ciommissionefr of
Insurance, Commissioner of Bailroads and Telegraphs, Commissioner of
Labor Statistics, Inspector of WOirkshops and Factories, Chief Mine In-
spector, State Mre Marshal, Chief Examiner of Stationary Engineers,
State Pension Claim Agent, (and Chief Engineer of Public Work®.
Numerous oommasisions, snch as the Canal Commission, Shiloh Bat-
tlefield Commission, and Fish and Game Commission, containing from
\jm> to seven members each, with terms varying from one to five years, have
been created by law. Here vacancies are constantly occurring, which aire
filled by the Govemior, and frequently he is called upon, when the General
Assembly provildes for some new commission, to appoint an entire board.
The Governor is ex-officio the President of the State Board of Chari-
ties, composed of six members, who are appointed for a term of three years.
This Board exercises a general snperviision of the public instdtutioins, and
is of valuable aid to the GovemoT in ^overseeing the mimeTous large sfca^e
properties. There aire' 'thirteen benevolent, two petnlal and two corrective
institutions in -this state. Each of these is mana-ged by a board of trustees,

CARL L. NIPPERT, of Cincinnati.
Ex-Lieutenant-Governor and President of the Senate.
Lieutenant-Governor Nippert made his debut in state politics in 1899, when, as
a candidate for the Senate from the First District, he was the only candidate on
the Republican Senatorial ticket not defeated by the Fusionists. His unimpeach-
able record, and his personal popularity in Hamilton county, securing his election
As a member of the Senate in 1900 — 1901 he was the author of the bill to reform
the city government of the city of Cincinnati, and in his aggressive fight to ac-
complish the passage of this bill, and thus to secure necessary reformation in the
interest of good local government, he justified the expectations of his constituents.
On the declination of Lieutenant-Governor John A Caldwell to become a candidate
for re-nomination Mr, Nippert was put forward as the unanimous choice of the Re-
publican State Convention for the vacancy, and aided materially in the success of
the party ticket in the recent campaign.
Mr. Nippert was born in Frankfort-on-the-Main, Germany, of American parents
sojourning in that city. After enjoying a liberal education in Germany, Switzerland,
and in this country, he became a teacher in the public schools, and was for ten
years principal of the old Thirteenth District School of Cincinnati, now the Webster
School on Findlay street. At that time it was the largest public school in the city.
He began the study of law while teaching, and was admitted to the bar, graduating
at the Cincinnati Law School in 1891 ; he has since followed the practice of his
profession. He is the senior member of the firm of Nippert and Powell.
Governor Nippert served as Prosecuting Attorney of the Police Court of Cincin-
nati from 1894 to 1897, by appointment- of Mayor Caldwell, who by a singular co-
incidence, had just preceded him in the office of Lieutenant-Grovernor.
On May 1, 1902, Lieutenant-Governor Nippert resigned to accept appointment
to the office of Probate Judge of Hamilton county, tendered him by Governor Nash,
to fill a vacancy caused by the resignation of Judge Ferris. At the ensuing
reffular election he was elected to the same office.

HARRY L. GORDON, of Hamilton County.
Harry L. Oordon was born in the village of Metamora, Franklin County, In-
diania, August 27, 1860. He atteoided. the public schools during the winter months and
worked on the farm during the summer until he was eighteen years of age, when he
left his country home for college. His college education was obtained in the Normal
College at Ladoga, Ind., and De Pauw University, at Greencastle, Ind., from which
university he was graduated with honors in 1882, receiving the degree of B. Ph. Three
years later he received the honorary degree of A. M. He studied law with the firm of
McDonald, Butler & Mason, in Indianapolis, Ind., and was <the chief clerk in that
office from 1882 to 1887.
In January, 1887, he removed to Wichita, Kan., where he resided for ten years.
While a resident of Kansas he was Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, City Solicitor and
a member of the Kansas State Senate. Immediately upon taking up his residence in
Cincinnati he engaged actively in the practice of law, and in April, 1899, he was ap-
pointed a member of the Board of Supervisors of said city and in the following year
was elected President of the board, which position he held until April 1, 1903. He was
appointed Lieutenant-Governor by Gov. George K. Nash to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of Carl L. Nippert, on the 26th day of June, 1902, and at the special
session of the legislature whic^h convened in August, 1902, he presided over the Sen-
ate in a manner which won for him the esteem and confidence of all with whom he
came in contact.
Mr. Gordon has always been an ardent and enthusiastic Republican, having parti-
cipated in almost every campaign since he graduated from college. He is a Scottish
Rite Mason, Knight Templar and a member of the Mystic Shrine, and belongs to the
leading clubs and business organizations of Cincinnati.
He was married April 20, 1892, to Esther L. Langtree, of Aurora, Ind., and has
one son, Harry L. Gordon, Jr., who is nine years of age.
Few men have risen more rapidly in political affairs in the state of Ohio than
has Mr. Gordon, and he is today recognized as one "of the potent factors not only in
the affairs of the city wherein he resides, but throughout the emtire state as well.

age, accepted 'the >iiiormjiiiiatiocn, amd lais an evidence ol his piopulianity amoGiig
the people lotf the eoTuities oompoisiiig the subdivisaoin, he was eleated by
over 1700 majority; he wais reiuomiii'ated ini 1898, and althooigh the Demo-
cratic maijority oai the general ticket wais 2086, Judge Sheets came within
thirty votes ol being again elected.
On laisisaiming the office of judge, he fo^und 'the conrt very greatly
overcrowded with business, so much soi, iirudeed, that several unsuccessful
attempts had been made to secure legislation authoirizitag an additional
juidge in said :saibdivision ; but Judge Sheets ideveloped an unusual capaicity
for the despatch of business, and in a short time, the docket was cleared.
His business methods were very piopular, and his services on the bench were
in demland. He hais received very miany high eomplimicnts, from both
the bench and the bar, ais well aiS froan the press of his. district, on his
ability as la. judge, atad on his conspicuous business methods.
While a student at the University of Michigan, he became acquainted
wiith Miss Mairy Eu S^cott, alsoi a istudent at the same University, to whom
he was married Mlarch 22, 1882, and has a. family of five idaughters.
John M. Sheets;, as boy and man, always enjoyed the confidence and
esteem of his aissociates., and this was never mioire striking than in his
student days at Ann Arbor; and as an instance, his acquaintanceship
with Hon. H. M. Diaugherty is conspicuous. They first met as situdents
at the Unjiverisity, and their relaitiionjs develoiped a, cilose personal friiend-
ship whiiich has ever since continued. They were students in the same
class, and graduated at the same time, and it was a pleasant surprise to
both when they met in the same class for esaminatioini for admission to the
bar, where they were hoth adm^itted to the piraotice of 'the law.
, At the Eiepublican State Convention at Columbus, held June 1 and
2, 1899, after a spirited contest, he wasi, 'Oai the third ballot, nominated
the candidate for attorney-general; his nomination before the call of the
roll of thei counties was completed, being made; unanimous by aoclamiation.
In 1901 he was TeHelected. Jndge Sheets has always been an active, ag-
gresisive Eepuiblican, never hiding hisi light under a. buishel, but withal, a
liberal and fair oppionent.

DUTIES OF THE AUDITOE.
The Auditor of State is elected eveoy four yea.rs, and is the chief ac-
counting officer of the State. No mioney dan be paid into or out of the
State Treasury ecxcept upion hiis wairrant. He is custodian of all field notes,
maps, reoocrds, doicuments, papers anid implements of every description
relating to or used in the survey of the public lands within the State, and
is required by law to keep a record of deeds ex^ecuted by the Governor.
He is required to pirepiarre all forms and instructions for county officers,

and look after and see to the collection of all claims in favoT of the Staite.
He may 'remit illegal taxes or pienalties and direct that tax duplicates be
ooirreoted.
Thie work in the office has been greatly increalsed since the present
auditor went into office as chief clerk in 1888 by reaison of the determina-
tion to add to the revenues of the State by traffic and excise taxes, which
should meet the growing needs of the State government, and forever
pirevent an increase in the commion burden of taxation upon private in-
dividuials and small properrty holders. The work of putting various revenue
acts in operation fell upon this departmeint as foUowis:
In 1889 the liquor traffic tax act giving the state a portion of the tax was passed
and put in operation. In 1896 this act was amended increasing the tax, which now
yields as the state's portion over one million dollars annually.
In 1893 what is known as the Nichols law, taxing express, telegnaph and tele-
phone companies, was passed and put in operation, which yields to the state and
counties annually more than $30,000.00.
In 1894 an act levying an excise tax on gross receipts of express companies,
was passed, land put in operation, which brings into the State Treasury about $12,000
annually. In 1902 this law was repealed and express companies included in the excise

depot companies, and the tax increased to one percent on the gross receipts, which
