ciunati, Ohio, for about twenty
years preceding his removal to Ere
mont, Ohio, after his defeat for con
cress by Gen. Banning in 1872
#. His profession was that Of a lawyer
practiciug in the city and county
courts. He was once elected city
solicitor, twice elected governor
"a position under the constitution
Of Ohio requiring no talent beyond
that possessed by mere figure
head once elected to congress, and
once defeated for congress in dis
trict that had given a Republican
majority at every congressional
election for ten years, except one,
when Gen. Cary succeeded as a
Republican, receiving Democratic
votes in defeating the regular Re-
publican nominee, the good Deacon
Richard Smith, of the Cincinnati
Gazette.
His business associates therefore
for more than twenty years were
the laws of Hamilton county bar.
They know his capacity for bust
ness, his ability and his integrity
better than any other class of per-
sons in the United States. His
standing among them may be infer
red from the support they give him,
and here it may be worthy of no.
tice that partisanism during this
period of time was at a discount
and merit appreciated at several
elections in said city of judicial
positions where the influence OF
the bar was most exerted as is
shown by the elections of Judge
Hoadly, a Republican Judge Taft,
a Republican ; Judge Coffin, Re-
publican ; Judge Taple, a Demo-
crat, and Judge Tilden, Republi-
can or non-partisan, to the superior
court bench without opposition.
Now, what is Mr.. Hayes stand
ing among his legal friends and as
sociates A! Not a single attorney
who voted the Democratic ticket
during the residence of Rutherford
B. Hayes in Cincinnati, or who had
voted the Democratic ticket since
his removal to Fremont, will sup
port him for President of the Unit
ed States, but on the contrary,
every one of them is now support
ing Tilden and Hendricks.
Judge Hoadly, whe has not voted
the Democratic ticket for more than
30 years, and who was one of the
Judges of the superior court of
Cincinnati during all the time that
Rutherford B. Hayes practised at
the Cincinnati bar, will not support
him for Pesident, but, on the con-
trary, is now very prominent po-
litical speaker, supporting with his
great power as an orator and de-
batter Tilden and Hendricks. Judge
Stallo, formerly one of the judges
of the court Of common pleas, who
has not voted Democratic ticket
for more than % years, will not
support his associate, Rutherford
b. Hayes. for President, but, on the
contrary has already delivered
most effective speech for Tilden
and Hendricks. Z. w. Kitridge, a
lawyer with most extensive prac-
tice during all the time that Ruther-
ford B. Hayes was at the Cincinnati
bar and since, and who never cast
a Democratic ballot in his life, will
not support him for President, but,
on the contrary, is now engaged in
canvassing his county for Tilden
and Hendricks. VIM. S. Grossbeck |
and Charles Reemelin, old lawyers
Of the Cincinnati bar, who have
sometimes voted the Republican
md sometimes the Democratic tick
It, but who voted for governor, as
Igainst Gov. Allen on the financial
ssues of the Ohio campaign in
S75, are now supporting Tilden
nd Hendricks. Fred Hassaurek,
he distinguished and talented edi-
Or, formerly an associate Of Ruther-
ord b. Hayes at the bar, heretofore
Republican, is a warm supporter
