WILLIAM POTTER. DAVID P. THOMPSON.
foreign tour. For the first place President
Harrison has selected Mr.. William Potter,
of Philad .lphia, and for the second Mr..
David z. Thompson, of Portland, Or.
Both appointments excite much comment,
as Mr.. Potter is the thirteenth member of
the Union league of Philadelphia to re-
ceive a diplomatic appointment within a
few years, and Mr.. Thompson is the pio-
neer banker and enterpriser of his section.
Mr.. Potter was born in Philadelphia in
1852, and is doubly possessed of the great
Philadelphia requisite-"family"-for his
father was long an eminent citizen and
his mother was descended on both sides
from heroes of the Revolution. One of her
ancestors, B%rigadier General Bower, en-
listed in the Continental line in 1775 and
was among the last mustered out in 1888:
served in the war of 1S12-15 as a general,
and was long a survivor and leader of
the Cincinnati. Inheriting a good bust
ness and some capital from his father, the
new minister improved both, and became
in addition a man of broad culture. He
was appointed special COMMISSIONS to the
postal usion congress at Vienna in 1891,
and his success in that place had much to
do with his recent appointment.
Mr.. David p. Thompson, the new min
lister to Turkey, is a typical western man
and one of the shrewdest financiers on the
Pacific coast. He was born in Cadiz, O.,
at a time when that region was considered
pretty far west, and was bred to the trade
of a blacksmith. While hammering iron
he studied surveying of nights and inspare
hours, and soon took high rank in that
line. He was in the engineer corps of the
Steubenville and Indiana railroad under
Mr.. Jacob Blickensdorfir (since general),
and did his work so well that he received
f1attering offers from the far west. lie
went to Oregon in 1858, and for twenty
years was a noted surveyor.
During the war he served in the Oregon
cavalry, and later was governor of Idaho,
three terms mayor of Portland, and four
years in the state senate, and presidential
elector in 1884. besides holding minor Of
fees. All this time he was investing with
unusually good judgment and in due time
became q wealthy banker.
