Whitelaw Reid's Career,

WHITELAw REID, the unanimous choice OF
the convention for Vice President was born
near Xenia, O.. October q, 1887. He studied
at Miami University, from which he grad
uated in 1856. He at once took Il lively in
terest in politics, making speeches in the
Fremont campaign on the Republican side
and soon became editor Of the Xenia News.
At the opening Of the civil war he became
the correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette,
with headquarters at Washington His
letters on current politics at that time at.
tracted much attention by their thorough
information and pungent style. From
Washington he made excursions 10 tine
army wherever active operations were prom.
ised. He served as aide-de-c1mp to Gen.
Rosoedncrans in the West Virginia campaign
of 1861. and was at the battles of Shiloh ana
Gettysburg, He was elected Librarian of
the House OF Representatives in 1868 and
served three years. After the war he en-
gagged in cotton planting in Louisiana, and
wrotea book on the South, entitled After
the War. He then returned TO Ohio and
wrote "Ohio in the War" which is pro
nounced the most important State history
of the war. On the conclusion of this labor
he went to New York on the invitation of
Horace Greeley and became an editorial
writer on the Tribune Upon the death of
Mr.. Greeley in 1872, Mr., Reid became editor
and principal owner of the paper. In 1870
ne was appointed by the Legislature OF New
York a life regent of the University
With this exception be declined all offers
of public employment for n period of &c
years, preferring to devote his energies to
the Tribune. He was offered by President
Hayes the post of Minister to Germany. and
q similar position by President Garfield
both Of which he declined. President Har.
risons offer Of the appointment as Minister
10 France was accepted, however and in
this important position Mr. Reid distin.
guished himself. He recently resigned this
to resume his journalistic career, but only
TO be met with the unsolicited offer of the
vice presidential nomination.
