from Illinois, having held that office
since 1871 with the exception of one
term, when he was defeated by David
Davis. He was the republican oandi-
date for Vice President in 1884, and
would no doubt have figured conspicu-
onsly as candidate tor President in

vantages of thorough education, he
was strong debator. In politics he
was bitter partisan. The republican
party has lost an able leader in his de.
mise.
