Hon. Geo. E. Bacon.
JURIST ORATOR AND STATE4MAN
HON. GEORGE E. BACON.

Attorney -at-law and Senator from
the thirty-frst district, has been a
resident Of Edgar county since 1857.
He was born in Madison, Ind, Feb.
4th, 1851, and is the son of Alfred
and Emma (Solmon) Bacon, both
defendants Of excellent families.
He was a lad when his parents
came to Illinois, but spent his youth
in Kansas, attending school there,
after which he became pupil of
the Northwestern Christian Uuni-
versity at Indianapolis, Ind, and
Eureka College in Woodford
county. In 1877, he was assessor
Of Kansas Township, and afterward
studied law in the office Of Col.
III. Van Sellar, in Paris. He
attended the Union College of Law
at Chicago, and was admitted to
practice by the Supreme Court at
Attowa, June 10th, 1879. In 1880
he was nominated by acclamation
by the Republicans of Edgar
county, for States Attorney, and
although the county was over
whelmingly Democratic, he came
within about 100 votes of election.
In 1882, he was elected Police
Magistrate for term of four years.
In 1886, he was nominated and
elected Senator from the Thirty
first Senatorial district, comprising
the counties Of Edgar and Vermil-
lion, serving in the General Assem-
blies Of 1887 and 1889. During
these sessions he served on many
importont committees, serving on
nine at one time, besides being
chairman of some of the most
committees of that body.
Mr.. Bacon was, in 1889, chairman
of the Joint Republican Caucas
which re-nominated United States
Senator, S. NJ. Cullom. He is well
known as a careful, painstaking
and hard working senator. He is
an ardent Republican, and has
always been known and recognized
rs true and faithful friend Of the
Afro-American; has their con-
fdence and respect, as we'll as the
respect of all classes who know
him. He is just in the prime of
life-that condition in which higher
honors usually seek the man.
