sketch Of Secretary seward.


An Auburn correspondent of New
York paper gives the following facts
with reference to the career of Secretary
Seward:
He came to Auburn in 1923, having
been admitted to the bar the preceding
year. He formed partnership with
Judge Miller here, and in 1924, married
the Judge youngest daughter, Frances
Adeline. Mr. Seward was born May l6,
1901, in Florida, Orange county, near
Goshen, in which county he has two
brothers now living On his mother $
side, Mr. Seward is Of Irish extraction /;
on his fathers, of Welsh. His father
was a physician and a merchant, man
of wealth, and for seventeen years the
first Judge of the county. Mr.. Seward
attended the academy at Goshen, where
he had Aaron Burr and Noah Webster Tor
school-fellows. When fifteen years old
he went to Union College, and when
eighteen years old he went to Georgia
and taught young ideas how to shoot.
1t is popularity supposed that he there
got the first inkling of that irrepressible
conflict which was to eliminate in our
great civil war. In his 9th year he was
chosen President of Young Mems Con-
vention in favor of John Quincy Adams
for President In. 1880 he was elected
to the State Senate as an antl-Mason.
In 1888 he visited Europe, writing series
of letters from there to the Albany Zee
nina Journal In 1884, he was nomlna-
ted by the Wings for Governor, but was
defeatedby W. l.. Marcy. In 1888, he
again run against Marcy and was sue
cessfnl. He served two terms as Cover
nor. and in lS49 he was sent to the
United States Senate in place of General
Dix In 1855 he was reelected to the
Senate, and in 1861 entered the position
in the Cabinet which he still occupies.
