feated by Charles S. Deneen, republi
can.
Native Of Kentucky.
He was born in Christian county
Kentucky, Oct. %, 1885, of Scotch.
Irish parentage. In 1853 his parents
moved to Bloomington, Ill. He at
tended the public schools and the Hi.
nois university.
In 1856 he graduated from Canter
college. Danville. Ky. There he was
classmate of Senator Joe Blackburn
and other Kentucky youths who later
became prominent in public life. He
signalized the close of his college ca
reer by marrying a daughter of DR..
Lewis w. Green, president of the COL
lege.
After leaving college Stevenson re-
turned to Bloomington, Ill, and read
law. He was admitted TO the bar in
1858 and began legal practice at Me-
tamora, Ill, where he remained until
1868. During these ten years he held
the Office OF master in chancery four
years and district attorney for a sim
liar period.
In 1868 he returned to Bloomington
and formed a law partnership with
his cousin James s. Ewing, and for
many years the firm was one of the
best known in Illinois legal circles.
Enters Politics in 1854.
Stevenson's political career dated
from 1864 when he was a presidential
elector on the democratic ticket He
made a canvass of Illinois in behalf
OF the Mcclellan ticket and won a rep
utation as a political orator.
In 1874 Stevenson was nominated
for congress by the greenback and an
parties in the 18th Hi
nois district against Gen. John McNul-
"a, republican. The democrats consid-
cred the case hopeless and did not
hold even a convention. The ensuing
was exciting and Stevenson
was elected by a majority over Gen.
of 1882 votes.
In 1876 he again was elected to con- |
yress for the same district on the
greenback ticket although he was sup |
ported by the democrats, who declined |
70 put up a candidate.
In 1884 Stevenson led the Illinois |
delegation to the democratic national |
which nominated Grover
Cleveland for president. In 1897 he
vas appointed a member of a commits
ion which visited Europe in an effort
o secure international bimetalism.
