: ism is uaiver: ais rocngr ..zeI b. tie people
Of Wisconsin. More han sixteen wears
ago, then young man, be was chosen the
speaker i tie Wisconsin assembly a is
| first ie-u.ar session under cur state con.
stitu;iou. Since that lime he had many
times consented to bear the banner Of
| Democracy through the tempest WREN
| nope OF success was vain, and in every
contest has won the admiration Of his POI
litica' hierls and the respected lis poli.i-
cal enemies In 1850, when lie lislrg
Republican party was in the floQl t!Ge Of
its progress TO power. he-was nominated
as The Democratjc Candidate for Governor,
and By bis personal popularity ard eiIec-
live e!oqu5nce on the stump in defence Of
conservative views, succeeded in preser,
wing the integrity Of the Democratic or
/ gauzanon, and lacked but a small vote
Of securing for it a complete victory at the
poll. .
When the war broke out, G3.4 Hobart
Twas private citizen residing in Calumet
county, engaged ia the practice Of bis
profession. True TO bis impulses and the
principles Of bis life, he at once enlisted
in the federal service as private soldier,
succeeded in raising company IN the
Aeighborhood OF his residence, vas chosen
its captain, and was assigned 10 the fourth
regiment, under Col. IL. Z. Paine
Though recognized as oDe Of the Oldest
: and aD!est cltzens of the sta.e, he expect
ed no personal fayors, ever under these
circumstances, from Gov. Randall, his
previous competitor for gube,"atorial
horors, and he received none. lie served
ia the fourth regiment Is captsihjn all IT'S
trials 10 the field, until July, ! SO2, when
he was commissioned Lieut. Colonel OF
tho 2lst by Gov. Solomon. Though &C
Z tually mmanding this regiment from
the dale mentioned, he was not commits
stoned as.i,s colonel until about March,
1854. In September, 1868, he was taken
= prisoner at the battle Of Chickamauba and
confined in Libby prison uatil April, 1861.
The history OF lis daring and reuious
escape from tAefe is matter Of public
history. lie Immediately resumed the
command Of his regiment, and when Gen.
Sherman organized his expedition across
Georgia, he placed Gen. Hobart ii COM
nald O: q brigade, aud SO efficiently did
he discharge his duties in that historic
, campaign, that he WAS one Of the few
officers recognized by Gen. Sherman for
mgrtoyious services upon the arrival OF
the Union army at Savannah, and it WAS
; By the Personal intervention Of Gen. SAGr-
man that he was promoted to the rank
designated BY his present military title.
Il is worthy Of specia! note, that through
out his long and faithful service in the
field Gen. Hobart was ID 10 instance
indebted to political favor for promotion,
bat solely TO his fidelity, ability oud eli
cheney in the service.
