Judge George HOadly was born in New
Haven, Conn, July 81, 1926. His father
was a man of great integrity and purity
of character, and was at one time Mayor
of New Haven, Conn.,, but in 1880 he re-
moved, with his family, to Cleveland,
o., where he was hOnOred with an cleo
tiOn TO the chief maRistracy of that
city. 1t il fair to presume that the good
. qualities which distinguished the father
were inherited by the son, George
HOadly, who received his elementary
education in Cleveland, and at the age
of fourteen was sent to the Western Re-
serve College, at Hudson, o., where he
graduated in 1874. He then entered the
law school at Cambridge, Mass, where
he passed one year Of study under the
the tuition of Judge Story and Professor
Simon Greenleaf, and after reading a
second year in the Office Of Charles G.
Converse, OF ZanesVille, came to Cincin-
natl, and entered the office of Chase 81
Ball al a student in 1916, and was ad-
mitted to the bar in l847. He soon at
traeted the attention of Salmon z. Chase,
afterward chief justice of the United
States. who was keenly alive to the i'm.
pOrtance of attaching himself to young
men of promise, and in 1849 Mr.. HOadly
was admitted to this firm as junior part
ner.
Mr.. Chase being elected to the United
States Senate and withdrawing from
professional duty in cincinnati in the
same year, led to MIR. HOadly appearing
in very important cases very early i'll
his career, and contributed to his cleo
tiOn by the legislature in 1851 to the
Office of Judge of the Superior Court of
Cincinnati for the residue of the term to
which that court had been limited by
the constitutional convention.
He succeeded Judge w. Y. uGhOsOn on
the bench of the new Superior Court in
1859, and in 1886 he was offered by Gov
ernOT Chase, and again by Governor Tod
in 1862, seat upon the Supreme bench
of Ohio. but declined both appoint
ments.
He was reelected to the bench in 1864,
but in 1866 he resigned TO establish the
firm of HOadly, jackson Il johnson,
which soon ranked among the actively
employed law firms of the country. He
was elected without opposition to the
constitutional convention of 1874, and
took an active part in the revision of
the constitution. In 1876 he took more
active part in the election of Tilden and
Hendricks, believing that the necessary
reforms i'll the government would be
more surely and radically secured than
by the election of Hayes and Wheeler.
JOHN G. WARWICK FOR LIEUTENANT GOV
ERNOR.
John G. Warwick, the nominee for
Lieutenant Governor, is one of the most
prominent citizens of the thriving city
of MassillOn. He Is an extensive mill
owner and large coal operator, and is
about fifty two years of age. He was
for several years member of the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee, and is
well and favOrably known all over the
State. MIR. Warwick has for a long time
been member of the Board of Educa-
tiOn and takes great interest in edu "a
t1Onal matters. At one time he was a
member of the city Council of MassillOn,
and his conduct at that time, and as a
member of the Board of Education,
showed him to be a gentleman of execu-
tive ability and popular official. In
1878 he ran for the nomination to Con-
gress, and though he ran well was de-
teated because there were two cAndi.
dates from Stark. He never thought of
becoming candidate until a few weeks
ago, when John @. Welty, Chairman of
the County Committee, suggested his
name. His friends were so persuasive
that he consented to become a candidate.
1t is claimed that he is 1000 stronger
than his ticket in Stark county.
MIR. Warwick was born in County
Tyrone, Ireland, in 1881, and came to
county, and was several years engaged
as clerk in "A dry goods store. He fin-
ally embarked in merchandising on his
own account. For the past ten years he
has been successfully engaged in coal
mining and manufacturing interests, in
which he has amassed a fine fOrtuna.
His nomination is u tribute to the Irish
voters, and will be hailed with accla-
nation in all the mining districts of
IN T-f,
emigrant to one of the most successful
business men of the State, Mr.. Warwick
has arisen by his industry and integrity
AS an unflinching Democrat of the old
school he will add to the ticket, and by
ability and popular manners make a
splendid Lieutenant Governor.
JUDGE NJ. D. FoLLET FOR THE SUPREME
COURT.
All that is necessary to be said of
Judge M. d. FOllett, candidate for Su-
preme Judge for the short term, is to
state that he is member of the FOllett
family of Democrats, being a brother of
our COngTessman-elect Hon. John
+. and Judge Charles FOllett, of Newark.
He is an intellectual looking man of
fifty-fVe, and is a native of the Nutmeg
State. He has been resident of Mari |
eta for a great number of years, and
progress of Washington county. He is |
one of the most distinguished lawyers
In Ohio, and has reputation as an ora
tor and stump speaker. Twice he was |
the nominee of his party for Congress |
when the district was overwhelmingly |
Republican and defeat certain, the first |
time In 1866 and the second in 1868. He. |
however, had the satisfaction of redue-
ing the Republican majority over 900 |
votes each time. In 1880 he was nOmi- |
mated for the same place he will be cleo |
ted to next October, but then went
down with the others in the wreck. He
is a graduate of Marietta College aud an
uncOmprOmising friend and supporter
of the public schools. Judge FOllett also
takes a great interest in charitable, re-
formatOry, and penal institutions, and
