dent of the Ohio Republican League,
member of the State executive COM
mittee, and a delegate at large to
the National convention of Republi-
can League Clubs. In 1896 he was
an assistant sergeant-at-arms of the
St. Louis convention, and filled the
same position at Philadelphia in
1900. He represented Cuyahoga
county in the list and 73rd general
assemblies of Ohio and supported Mr..
Hanna for Senator. He engrafted
much useful legislation upon the
statute books, being the author of
the dual primary election bill which
is now in great favor. Mr.. Clifford
is lawyer by profession.
U. S. Stamp Agent John P. Green
is the first colored man TO be elected
to an Office in the State of Ohio. He
was chosen a justice of the peace in
1873 and served three consecutive
terms, nine years in all. In 1881
he was elected to the lower house
OF the general assembly, and again in
1889. In 1891 he was elected a member
of the State Senate, the first colored
man to be elected a State Senator
north of the Mason's and Dixon's
line. He was the author of the bill
creating Labor Day in Ohio. Mr.
Green is perhaps the best posted Ne
gro in public life upon economic
problems and polite literature As
a lawyer, he enjoys a National rep
utation, and his oratory is in demand
in all campaigns of the Republican
party.
