President Harrison's reference In his in
augural to the south and the negro ques
tion is cot satisfactory to the “bloody
shirt” crowd. They expected and
wanted to see the sectional issue made
a prominent feature.
The office-hunters are utterly disgusted
at the president’s pledge in favor of civil
service reform, and his utterances on
that subject dampened an enthusiasm
which the pouring rain could not affect.
Throughout all the ceremonies of the
day Grover Cleveland bore himself with
superb dignity ar.d telf-poise.
\\ hen he re entered the capitol after
Harrison's address he looked like a lion.
For the man of destiny there isalwayt
a'Wellington or a Harrison,-but as Na :
pal eon was not less great at St. He’en
than at Aristerlitz, so not one cubit will
be taken from the mental and moral
stature of the self-reliant and a indomita
ble Grover Cleveland because* of defeat
in a great cause.

to know, say that a quarter of a million

served as speaker l..st two years,
was al o chairman state com
mittee: elected to congress in 1862,
in which he s-ervtd his constituency
eighteen years. He was the leading man
for the presidential nomination in 1875,
but a dark horse appeared in the person
of Rutherford B. Hayes, who secured
the nomination.
In 1880, he was second to Grant, and
as the friends of neither would surrender,
the nomination fell to James G. Garfield
who, upon election, appointed Mr. Blaine
secretary of state. In 1884 he was nom
inated on the fourth'ballot, and the his
tory of the campaign and Mr. Blainee

Attorney General.
William Henry Harrison Miller is the
former law partner of Gen. Harrison,
was bom m Augusta, Oneida county.
New York, nearly
forty-eight years
ago. His father
was a Whig and an
admirer of Gen.
Harrison the First.
He entered Ham
ilton college at 16
years of age. and
was graduated at
20, devottug a part
of the iast college
year to the study
of law*, w hich pro
fession he had de
termined to follow. ■ , S. II.WBPW
When he left college he taught school
and studied law at the same time for
two years. He was so successful as a
teacher that many of his friends tried to
induce him to make it a profession.
He preferred the law, however, and
soon entered upon its study under the
instruction of Judge Waite of Toledo.O..
afterwa d chief justice of the United
States supreme court. Completing his
studies, he returned to Oneida county,
and was married to Miss Gertrude A.
Bunce, and they then removed to Fort
Wavne, ind., where Mil’er entered ac
tiVely upon the duties of his p- o'ession.
Here he remained for e'ght years, and
three children were bo n to him. The
eldest is now 22 years of age, the next, a
son, is a junior at Hamilton college, and
the third is a daughter about 17 years of
age. Miller rose rapidly in his profes
sion, and soon sto:d at the head of the
f ort Wayne bar.
In the course of his eight ye-rs of
practice at Fort Wayne, Miller had met
Harrison frequently, and in 1374 he re
ceived an offer of partne ship with Har
rison in Indianapolis. The offer was at
once accepted, and he ’and his family
moved to Indianapolis.
Postmaster General.
- John Wanamaker was bom in Phila
delphia about fifry-one years ago. His
parents were poor, and h's father, a
bricklayer, was
unable to give
John anything
more : ban a rudi
mentary educa
tion. He was a
student, however,
and though com
pelted :o go to
work in a small
— clothing store at
the age of four
teen, he had given
a promise of busi
ness sagacity and
enterprise. * His

his spare hours were devoted to edit’ng.
lUblishing and soliciting ad-.erfuemems
‘or an amateur paper called Every bod 's
Journal. The comn~ ercial instruct was
the dom'nating feature of his nature,
and he was invariably successful in his
busin sa ventures, even in lis youth.
He first thought of entering busi ess for
himself n 1861. His friends warned him
not to do it All. sorts of discouraging
thin s wtre predicted. He went into
usiness. His success was great. liis

Secretary of the Nav.y
Benjamin Tracy was bom about fifty
nine years ago in Tioga county, New
York. His early life was passed first on
a farm and af
terward in the
study of law
His fine physical
frame and mus
cular pro por
tions are in a
t reat degree
ue to that ear
ly farm life. In
1861 he was ad
mitted to the
bar, and three
years later was
elected district
attorney of Tio
ga county. Not-
Seeretary of the Treasury.
William Windom was bom in Ohio oi
Quaker parents. He went to Winona,
Minn., in 1855, having been admitted tc
the bar at Mount
■Vernon two years
before. Mr. Win-
dem practiced
law until 1859,
when he was elec
ted to cougress,
being reelected
for four succeed
ing term*, until
1809. In 1871 he
was elected Uni
ted States sena
tor, and re elect
ed in 1877. He
left the senate to
enter President
Garfield’s cabinet
as secretary of wjujam wmoost
the treasury in 1881, and resigned^fter
Gtn. Arthur's accession. In the memor
able year 1883 Mr. Windom was again a
candidate for the senate, and was ap
parently the choice of the republicans of
the state;' but he was very bitterly and
energetically opposed by Mark H. Dun-
nel, member of congress fr< m the first
Minnesota district, who desired the sen
atorial toga for himself. In the republi
can caucus Mr. Windom received eighty-
three votes out of the eighty-four neces
sary to a choice. Dunnel fought h m
openly and secretly, and the contest
was a bitter cne, Mr. Windom a most
getting there on several ballots. Finally,
when the deadlock had continued sev
eral days, a conference wrs held by some
of the republicans and the fine Italian
hand of Dwight M. Sabin appeared: A
break was made and Sabin was elected
with a hurrah. Mr. Sabin was profuse
in his protestations of loyaly to Win
dom, for whom he had ostensibly work
ed, but Windom’s friends did not hesi
tate to declare their belief that Sabin had
been a shrewd Banks all the time. At
any rate, Mr. Windom lias fince had it
in for Sabin, and in the senatorial cam
paign last month made his appearance
at the staie capital, was closeted with
Gen. Washburn, and is popularly cred
ited with desiring and aiding in the de
feat of Sabin and the election of Wash-
bum. A WBWWBWBWB
After his defeat for the senate in 1883
Mr. Windom sold his residence in Wi
nona, and he has spent most of his time
with his family in New York city, where
his children are being educated.
Mr. Windom has been interested in the
Topolobampo railway scheme and Eads
ship railway. He made an extended
visit to Europe two years ago with his
family, and again last year he visited
England in the interests of these com
panies, as well as to forward the inter
ests of the Winona and Southwestern
KUJJUUV,
dent and Mhich is building a 'road
from Winona to Omaha. Mr. Win
dom's appointment as secretary of
the treasury will, of course, be
gratifying to al majority of the cit-
zens of Minnesota, ana especially to the
people of this city, where he has lived
so long. While he has not done any
thing in particular for this city, lie is
credited with being public spirited and
charitable. It is also said that a memo
rial appro’, ing of his appointment has
been signed by citirens without regard
to partv.

withstanding the fact that Tioga county
was democratic and Tracy a republican
his election was almost unanimous. He
was elected to the general assembly
in 1861. He was made chairman of
the railroad committee and also chair-
min of the sub-committee of the
whole. While serving in this capacity
one of the most corrupt jobs that ap
peared during the session of 1862 came
up in the shape of an attempt to spoil
Broadway in New York by putting a
surface railroad on that thoroughfare.
Tracy, almost unaided, championed the
rights'of property owners, and in a short
time biought Henry J. Raymond and
others of that calil are| to his side,
and the job was defeated. After that
the house never disagreed with a report
that had Benjamin F. Tracy’s approv
al. On June 22d, 1842 Gov. Morgan re
quested him to raise a regiment from
the counties of Broome, Tomkins and
Tuoge. He raised two—the 109th and
the 107th—got his commis ion and w: s
given command of the former. When
re resigned at the close of the war he
had attained the rank of Brigadier-Gen
eraL In 1866 he was appointed United
States District Attorney for the Eastern
district of New York and held the posi
tion until 1875, when he resigned. In
1875 he made the opening add; era to the

[e was nominated in 1881 by the repub
licans for mayor of Brooklyn, but with
drew in favor of Seth Low, who was
fleeted. He has been a candidate for
supreme court judge and for district
attorney of Kings county. He is a man
of fine presence and deserves substantial
reco- nition for his sacrifices to the par
ty’s interests. *

Noble settled first in St. Louis in 1:
Not meeting with the success in the
practice of the law that he expected, he
removed the following year to Keokuk,
Iowa, where he became prominent at
the bar. At the breaking out of -the
war he enlisted as a private in
the Third Iowa cavalry. This reg
iment was actively engaged from the
beginning to the close of tie war, and
distinguished itself in many battle?. Mr.
Noble steadily arose in it until he be
came colonel. He was in the battle of
Pea Ridge, was present at the surrender
of Vicksburg, and took part in the cav
alry raid into Alabama and Georgia. At
the close of the war he was promoted to
a brigadier-generalship for meritorious
services. He was mustered out in 186 =
Gen. Noble was married in 18C4
Northampton. Mass., to the daughter of
Dr. H. Halstead. Two children were
born cf that marriage, neither of whem
ie now living. t
After the war Gen. Noble settled in
St. Louis, where, on the rccommenda
tion of Attomey-G^reral Stanberry, he
was u aie United Sifites district attorney

position in 1870 and has since been en

EX-GOV. PROCTOR.
Secretary of War..
Ex-Governor Proctor, of Vermont, has
ranked high as a cabinet possibility, and
as a power in the administration of
President Harrison; and as far as politi
cal shrewdness and business ability go
be justifies the claims made for Iiim.
He is clfiefly known for his development
of the marble industry, and is probably
the greatest man
ufacturer of and
dealer in marble
in the United
States, practical
ly controlling the
whole output of
tile Vermont mar
ble quarries. He
is a power in Rut
land, Vt., which
has grown during
his business ope
rations in that vi
cinity from a pop
ulation of 5,000 to 20,000; but he is the
founder of tfie town of Proctor, where
he makes his home, eight miles from
Rutland.' * -, "fi ' -
The strong political following of Gov
ernor Proctor is shown by the fact that
he.was able to solidify the Vermont dele
gation to the last Chicago convention,
that being the only state delegation
which voted solidly on every ballot for
Gen. Harrison. A few days before the
convention the delegation was at sea,
but Governor Proctor was able to unite
it. His business capacity and fair deal
ing as much as his party services have
given him a strength in the Republican
party which even Vermont’s senators do
