Thomas Staples Martin was born
IN Scottsvlle. AIbeuarle county,.
July %, ls47, of parents whose an
oestors settled early in that region.
Since 1858, when his parents moved
from the little town, he has lived in
the country
He entered Virginia Military In
sti.ute March /, 1854. and remained
untl April 8, 1868. spending much
Of his tlr1e as cadet in the mill
tary service Of the Confederate
states with the battalion OF boys
who offered their services to the
Lost Cause and earned undying
fame AT Newmarket
In October !, 1865. he entered the
University Of Virginia The death
OF his father two years later settled
the responsibilities and cares OF 4
large family on the shoulders OF the
the university for the last time on
June %, 1857 It was at this time
lhat the unfaltertng purpose which
has since marked his whole life
first became revealed. After spend
ing a short while in managing his
fathers estate and directing bis
business affairs, young Martin de-
cided that he was not destined to
preside over any business establish
EST He was licensed to practice
law in the fall OF 1859 and began
to distinguish himself as an at
torney Of unusual ability almost i'm
mediately
Mr. Martin earned a statewide
reputation among members OF the
legal profession and also began to
assume prominence as a politician
of unusual astuteness. His hrst
great service TO the Democra ne
party, which he has led in thus
state for a number of years was In
1881 when he is credited with nav.
ing the party from dissolution when
the state debt issue threatened its
very life Mr. Martins superb
leadership and claver tactics tn thai
crisis established his reputation
SoHdly with state leaders who hpcw
the inside history OF the period.
STRANGE TO THE MASSES.
FOR all Of his achievements in law
and politics. Mr.. Martin was prac-
t.cally unknown To the masses OF
the people and his victory over
General Fitzhugh Lee for appoint
ment hv the legislature as United
States senator in 1891 came a .
distinct shock 70 all but few who
were intimately acquainted with
the force and ability of thu new
senator.
He was opposed in 1901 by Gov
