THOMAS A. HENDRICKS.

Thomas Andrews Hendricks was born in
Ohio on the 7th of September, 1919. He was
graduated from South Hanover college in that
State in 1S40 when he removed to Chambers
burg, Penn, and began the study of law.
Three years later he was admitted to the bar
and began the practice of his profession in In
diana. His career opened auspiciously, and
In few years he became lawyer of stand
ing In 1913 he was elected to the State
legislature, and in 1850 was dele
gate to the State Constitutional con-
vention. The next year he was elected to the
House of Representatives, and in 1858 his term
expired. He was appointed commissioner Of
the general land office by President Pierce and
from this on he has been one of the most inn
portant political characters in Indiana. In
1860 he ran for governor against Henry s.
Lane, and was defeated He was elected to
the United States Senate in 1868 for the
long term. Here he won considerable
distinction as debater. His name was
presented to the Democratic national con-
yention in 1868 as candidate for the Presi-
dency and he would no doubt have received
the nomination but for the Ohio delegates,
who by persistently voting for Horatio Sey-
mour finally caused stampede in his favor.
The friends of Mr.. Hendricks have always in
sisted that his nomination would have insured
a Democratic victory. Again, in 1872, he
was proposed as a candidate in the Demo-
cratic national convention, and but for the
unexpected fusions of that time he would
probably have been the nominee of his party.
He was nominated for Vice-President in 1876,
and since that memorable contest his profess
sional duties have engrossed the greater part
of his attention.
