JUDGE HAWLEY.
A Tribute to Nevada's Next
United States Senator

eAAS
State will honor Itself in honorIng him.;
he is one Of the grand figures of the
Coast, a man Of the most generous in
stlncts, a splendid typo Of the grand old
pioneer who blazed the way and did
f.rst great work to make this country
what 1t is today, he is now in the very
prime OF his powers, with a we'll trained
legal mind, a kno Wedge complete and
Oh The highest value to the coast, and
such a man in Washington would be
OF great power for good there. He has
brains and influence, and it would be a
labor Of love TO him to serve this coast
No man is capable Of doing greater
work than ne for beyond his ability, his
industry, is the great fact that he is re-
garded with high esteem by the best
men in his party, the dominent party
today in the Union.
The Judge has many friends in Cali
lorna. for he is one of those men as
true as steel, a plain u~nassuming man,
but whose solid worth and strength OF
character invite the confidence and re-
spsct Of all men.
Although for many years identified
with Nevada, still Judge Hawiey is an
older Californian than any Of the other
judges. He lived principally in the
Interior, and there he had always a
prominent reputation in his profession
and was regarded with great respect
and esteem as a very pubic spirited
man.
1t falls to few to have the same
warm friendship as is entertained for
Judge tiaNley. And his bast friends
are those who have known him longest.
the reason for this regard is found in
the unassuming, genial manner. and
his consistent, straightforward chara-
ter, he is the same approachable gen
tleman. the same true friend, he was
in the beginning Of his career. Posi-
ton and success have not changed him
a particle.
He occupies independent rank today.
but such is his his sterling quality that
it has not changed him from the easy
going. kindly and affable mar
he was in the past, and his greeting is
as cordial, If not.more SO. TO his friend
in homespun as it is to his friend in
broadcloth.
Judge Haw.ey is indeed an excellent
type Of the old time Californian; he
scorns pre- .ense or display. and views
his fellow mar with kindly sympathy
and a charity that is broad and liberal.
As a lawyer he ranks among our
eminent men. In any locality or in
any occupation. judging from his ability.
we have not a ooubt, indeed. but that
he would have achieved success
Judge Hawley came to California
across the plains arriving in this State
in 1852. Indiana was his home State,
and there he passed his boyhood.
For about a year he worked in the
placer claims Of Eldorado county, and
then went to Nevada county where ne
worked up to 1868.
In that section, as elsewhere. he had
the respect Of those he came In con-
tact with.
With his appointment as Federal
Judge our readers are familiar. BY
his clear sound rulings he has estab-
lished a fine reputation. and no mar
stands higher with the legal profession
And for his urbanity Of manner. hi:
kindly nature, the general. honest. up
ylght character that needs no Inter
prefer but the pleasant. straightforward
Speaking eyes, he has the affectionatt
regard Of those who know him. His
has been a stirring life, and II he Is a
