Tama County Republican. (Toledo, Tama County, Iowa) 1867-1872, 1870-02-03
Our New Supreme Judge.

Elias II. Williams, was born in Gro
ton, Connecticut, in 1919. Was a
student at Yale, and graduated from
that institution in 1874 at the head OF
his class. Early making the determin
aticn to be q lawyer, he began his ed
ucation IN that profession at once. He
read law and began his career with the
Hon. Lafayette 5. Foster, at Norwich,
in the State mentioned. From there
he went to South Carolina, and stayed
three years. He LETT the South Rad
ical abolitionist, and ever has since
been in the front ranks Of political prog
ress. Coming 70 Iowa in lS47, he set
tied at Garnavillo, Cla, ton county,
where he openeda a farm, and practiced
law. Continuing IN his profession he
rapidly acquired an extensive practice
and fine reputation. He was twice
elected County Judge, and served
eight years on the district bench, with
distinction and very general accept
ance. lie now lives on his farm near
Clermont, and cultivates the soil exten-
sively, having nearly three thousand
acres under cultivation.
Aside from his distinguished reputa-
ton as jarist, he is also possessed OF
rare scholastic attainments, having,
perhaps, in the latter respect but few
equals in our State. OF mature years,
Tama County Republican. (Toledo, Tama County, Iowa) 1867-1872, 1870-02-03
lOWa's New Senators.

Yesterday the Legislature of Iowa
elected Hon. George G. Wright, of
Des Moines, for the term commencing
March 4th 1871; and, at the same time,
Hon. James b. Howell, of keokuk, to
fill the uncxpired term OF Hon. Jas. W..
Grimes, whose time of service, had he
remained in his seat, would have con
cluded at the date above mentioned.
Judge Wright has earnest friends
all over the State. His long residence
in Iowa, his strong identification with
her vital interests, his conspicuous and
meritorious public services, his ac-
knowl ,dged integrity, ability and gen
eral fitness for the position-three con-
siderations, taken in connection with
suavity of manner and dignity of
bearing, indicative of the true gentle
man, as he certainly is-conspired TO
give him a lodgment IN the Iowa heart,
bound to have expression, enforced as
this was by the potential demand of an
influential local position in the State.
In his election, Western Iowa has Sc
cured an additional voice in the Ma
tional councils.
Judge Wright will make an excel.
lent, and, perhaps, distinguished Sen
ator. His mind is clear, comprehen-
sive aRd exceedingly well trained. His
requirements and natural endowments
are such, indeed, that We shall be dis
appointed if, at the end of his service,
a mediocre position only is assigned
him. On the Bench he has been con.
stantly growing man, inspiring the ut
most confidence-in the Senate we can
hardly imagine such condition OF at.
fairs as his being either shortcoming or
stationary. The Legislature has done
we'll in selecting this gentlemen tor the
position, and the people OF Iowa at
large, irrespective OF party, will endorse
the sentiment, believing that good NOR
ais as we'll as true merit has gained q
triumph.
Judge Wright was born in Indiana,
in 1920, and graduted from the State
University in 1889. He subsequently
read law with his brother, Joseph A.
Wright, who was afterwards Governor
Tama County Republican. (Toledo, Tama County, Iowa) 1867-1872, 1870-02-03

Mr-being requested to sub
scribe for his county paper, refused,
and gave the following reasons tor so
doing:
"You see l think a paper bad
thing in family. Why, sir, if pa.
per was to come into my house those
boys OF mine wouldn't do stroke of
work until they had read every line;
and sis why she'd go into highstrikes.
and the old woman.l be reading line
now ard then instead OF sewing on
my buttons or stopping the pigs. and
then they'd all be asking me qnes-
tions, who this one is; when what's his
name was elected Governor, and lots
OF other useless questions, just as if |
knew all about other peoples business.
No sir, wont take 1t. A news
paper makes children independent and
conceited. know more than half the
men and l never read newspaper"
We started on, when Mr-shout-
ed after US:
Il say, mister, was Grant elected
President.
Tama County Republican. (Toledo, Tama County, Iowa) 1867-1872, 1870-02-03

of Indiana, and appointed, by President
Lincoln, Minister to Prussia, where he
died.
In 1910, hesettledin Van Burcn Coun-
ty, Iowa. where he resided until his re-
moval TO Des Moines in 1856 He was
Senator from Van Buren county for
two terms, in 1S49 and 1850. He was
then a Wing, and in 1858 he was nom
mated for U. S. Senator by his party,
but failed of an election, from the same
cause that will this time defeat Judge
Claggett, the Demo ocratic ominee. The
Legislature in 1854 elected hlm Chict
Justice of the Supreme Court of the
State. In 1859 he was nominated tor
the same position and declined, but
subsequently accepted the appointment
from Gov. krkwood, upon the death
of Judge Stockton, and in the follow
ing November was elected to fill the
vacancy. In 1865 he was again elected,
and is now serving out his term.
As there were a number OF candi-
dates for the short term scattered over
the State, the public mind was not set
tied antecedent upon any particular
person. When, however, it was known
that James b. Howell, the veteran ed.
itor Of the Gate City, was chosen, there
was general feeling of satisfaction
that one so worthy and 80 capable was
to wear the Senatorial mantle. This
sentiment was intensified by the fact
that he was the unanimous choice of
the entire Iowa delegation in Congress
for the mission to Guatemala, place
now occupied by man OF smaller cal
ibre. 1t devotion to principle and the
welding of powerful pen for the
maintenance OF the Republican par
ty--if social standing and cultivated
intellect-if good Judgment and homes
ty of intention-are qualities to COM
mend a man as an object tor the be-
