His intimate acquaintance with tho
large business houses of the city-Or,

Immediately he secured a paying prac-

his clients. Gradually, also, the impor.

HON. THOMAS KELLY.

good citizen, and most popular
Democrat. II the Hon. Thomas Kelly,
member Of the Board Of Drainage ca
nal Trustees, born In 1S43 In Provi.
dence. Il. !. The first two years of his
life was spent In that beautiful city of
palaces by the sea. In 1SA5 his parents
went West ana settled on a farm IN
Wisconsin. Here Mr.. Kelly's bOyhOod
was spent, the life Of a farmers boy
In the early days Of the Badger State.
There was 80 much work to do. that
time thus spent and that spent In neces-
snry sleep left but little opportunity for
either recreation or study. So the
years passed until he was 10, and In all
that time his father was able to give
him only two years schooling.
| When he was IL he came to Chicago.
In 1861. and went to work In one Of the
packing.hOuses. His strict attention To
business, his energy and his natural ap-
titude soon made him man marked for
promotion. Shortly thereafter he was
made buyer for Turner 4 Mitchell ut
the Michigan Central stock yards.
ans Of to-day, those stock yards then
lay along the Illinois Central tracks,
beginning ut 31st street and running
south to u little north Of where the
Douglas monument now stands AMI
where the great Illinois Senator had
been buried hut u year previous. Just
across the Cottage Grove avenue stood
the then young Chicago University.

except the ten acres upon which It was
built. the gift of the dead Senator. just
south OF the monument stood what was
then considered the stately building of
the Marine Hospital. The Stock Yards
Hotel of that day then stood and now
stands on Cottage Grove avenue near
3lst street. Thus Thomas Kelly began
his life here ana he has grown. with
Chicago from the town Of that day to
the metropolis of to-day.
In 1854 Mr.. Kelly married ana moved
to Brighton Park, where he has since
resided. In 1866 he was elected School
Trustee and was constantly reelected
till 1882. Was elected member OF the
Cicero Town Board for two or three
years and In 1850 was elected men,
Der Of the Chicago City Council. Was
reelected In 1880 and served until he
was elected II member Of the Board Of
Drainage Canal Trustees In 1892.
Mr.. Kelly's work as Trustee of the
Drainage Canal Is fresh In the public
mind. He has ever since borne part,
almost from the first, In building that
magnificent benefactiOn to this city,
and this part he has always borne well
and wOrthily. So well have he and his
Democratic cOnfreres done their work
that there IL an urgent demand from
the mass of the people of Chicago, re-
CARELESS Of politics, that they be nOmi-
mated and reelected. He has always
been a Democrat and always been
elected on the Democratic ticket. He IL
engaged In the real estate business and
has gained the respect Of this COM
mnnity by his private as well AZ his
public life. Mr.. Kelly should be re-
nominated and reelected Il member OF
