ILLINOIS, NEW SENATOR'S.


Springfield, H., Jan. 22.-Albert J.
Hopkins, of Aurora, who was elected,
Tuesday, to the United States senate
by the general assembly Of Illinois to
succeed Hon. William f., Mason, is in
his fifty-seventh year. He was born
on farm in De Kalb county, this
state, in August. 1916. He attended
the public schools at Sycamore, and
from there he went TO liillsdale col
lege, Mich, graduating from that col
lege with an \. u. degree in 1870. Just
before graduating, through the infu-
cpce of the president of the college,
who took a great interest in him, he
was offered the principalship of an
academy in Maine. He declined the
offer and returned to his home in DE
Kalb county After staying on the
farm with his father few weeks he
went to Aurora and commenced the
study of law with the then leading
lawyer of that circuit, {. j. Metzner.
In 1871 he was admitted to the bar,
and the year following, after q spirit
ed contest, he was elected states at
torncy of Kane county. Up to that
time the position of states attorney
had always been held by old lawyers,
and there was considerable opposition
to Mr. Hopkins because of his having
been only one year at the bar. At
the end of his term of Office he de-
clincd a reelection on account of his
growing practice and devoted his time
to the practice of criminal law. In
the meantime his civil practice grew
to such an extent that he abandoned
the speciality OF criminal law and mss
not been connected with a criminal
case for 20 years.
Mr.. Hopkins has always been active
in politics. He was member Of the
Republican state central committee in
1876 and was an elector on the Blaine
and Logan ticket in 1884. He was a
candidate for congress three years be-
fore he was irst elected The dis
trict was then known as the Fifth
congressional distict. Mr.. Hopkins was
the candidate presented by Kane
county. De kalb county presented II
candidate in the person of Reuben Ell
wood, brother of Col !, l.. Ellwood.
Mcllenry county presented Judge Ben
Smith for the honor and Lake county
had n candidate by the name of Steel.
One hundred and fifty ballots were
taken in the convention. When Mr..
Hopkins saw he could not be nominal
ed he threw his strength to the can
didate from De Kalb, his native coun-
ty, aud Mr.. Elwood was nominated.
This was in 1882. Three years after
Congressman Ellwood died, and Mr..
Hopkins was elected to fiji the uneN-
pired term in 1885. Since that time
he has been nominated for congress
eight times by acclnmation.
