He was descended from Revolutionary fam flies on both sides. His mother was the daughter of Colonel Nathaniel Allen. the distinguished governor of Ohio In 1919, when he was only five years old, his family went to Ohio, where he ob- tained an education in the Chillicothe academy. At one time his health was very frail, and he got his first grasp on health by riding through the sparse ly settled country to make tax lists for the assessor Afterward he became a surveyor, and while thus camping out in the forests he laid the foundation of that sturdiness which grew with his manhood.
 He had studied law for three years when he became private secretary to Governor Lucas. In 1885 he was called to the bar and soon had a large prac- tice, working eighteen hours day. His entrance into public life did not occur until 1S44. While absent in Ken lucky on legal business he was nomi- mated for the Twenty-ninth congress, and elected as q democrat by 300 ma iority in a district which at the previous election had chosen a whig. This was not his first experience of Washington life. He had visited the capital upon trip for his health in 1889, and had then made distinguished friends, includ- ing Calhoun. Being thus acquainted he at once took leading rank upon the judiciary committee, to which he was assigned. As representative he took a foremost part in the exciting debates of those years. Among his speeches in the house may be cited the one on the Mexican war, and that on the Oregon resolution providing for the abroga tion of the convention of 1927 between Eng land and the United States

He was defeated, but the legis- lature was democratic and sent him to the United States senate. He was a member of the el. ctoral commission of 1876 and delegate to the internation- al monetary conference on President Garfield's appointment

He was nominated for vice president in 1888. Of late years he had taken little part in public affairs.
