Ho4DLY. TIE CANDIDATE.

Judge Hoadly, the candidate of the Ohio
Democracy for governor, will celebrate his
fifty seventh birthday July 81 proximo.
He was born at Hartford, Conn, but his
father, who was a lawyer, removed to
Cleveland, Ohio, when his son was four
years old, this being in the year 1880
Young Hoadly attended the public schools
of Cleveland, and with such fitting as they
afforded at that period he entered Western
Reserve college at Hudson, Ohio. gradu-
ating in 1874. In his youth he gave token
of more than ordinary intellectual endow-
ments and maturity beyond his years.
After his graduation he studied law under
Judge Story and Simon Greenleaf, at the
Cambridge law school, and also with Judge
Converse at GAINESVILLE. At the beginning
of 1916 he entered the Office of Chase
Ball, in Cincinnati, and was admitted to
the bar the following year, 1847. S. P.
Chase manifested an unusual interest in
the young man and invited him to pro-
fessional partnership,whi continued from
1S49 to 1851, Hoadly in the last named
year, when he was but "a, being
elected judge of the superior court of Gin
cinnati. In 1855 he was elected city
solicitor, and ia 1859 again elected super
ior judge. While Chase was governor of
the state he offered to appoint his young
protege to the Supreme bench. In 1867
he was third time elected Judge, but soon
resigned to form his present law firm of
Hoadly, Colston u johnson. In 1873 he
was elected delegate to the
constitutional convention, being chair
man of the committee on municipal cor
porations. For several years his law
practice has amounted to $4,000 to $780,
600 year. A pen sketch of him is as
follows:
Above medium height, form of fair proper
lions, and a shapely head, very much the mould
of Garfeld's. His brown beard contains here
and there gray hair, and is nicely trimmed and
combed His eyes are light brown, quick, pene-
trating, and, withal, kind. He uses eye glasses
in reading which are allowed to fall to his side
when addressing court or jury. In argument
he is keen and comprehensive, witty and elo-
quent-a magnificent specimen of an erudite
scholar. He talks quickly and with emphasis.
Judge HOadly lives handsomely at Cincinnati,
on East Walnut Hills, in the same ward and pre-
nee. He has q charming wife and family of
chlldren-twO sons and daugher One son,
George Jr., was recently admitted to the bar
The Judge was married IN 1851. His wife's
maiden name was Mary Burnett Perry, daughter
of Captain Samuel Perry, one of the early set
tiers of Cincinnati. His law partners are Edgar
NJ. Johnson and Edward CostOn.
Judge HoadIy is an eloquent, mag
netic speaker, and in private life the
soul of geniality. Probably he has no su-
perior to-day at the Ohio bar, and few if
any equals. This is the man who is to be
the next governor of Ohio, and against
whose fame no honest man will breathe a
word
As a political leader he is not entirely
untried, and was temporary chairman of
the Democratic National convention of
1880. A canvass of the state of Ohio
under his leadership will, be a new
experience, and if the Republican
party want to stand even in the race they
will have to bring to the front better men
than they have there now. Judge Hoad-
ly is a large enough man for any posi-
ton, including the presidency of the Unit
ed States. The Ohio Democracy did the
wisest thing in their power in putting
him at the head of their state ticket. He
will lead his party to triumphant victory.
Upon their candidate and platform the
Ohio Democrats are to be congratulated.
The greatest wisdom has been observed
and it will be maintained throughout the
campaign.
