The result of the October election plainly foretold the defeat of Fremont and Dayton. Ohio was one of the few States that steadfastly upheld the banner of Republicanism. The result in Pennsylvania was disheartening to the founders of the new party and gave the Democrats renewed strength.

Ozias Bowen, Supreme Judge, was born at Augusta, Oneida County, New York, July 21, 1805, and died at Marion, Ohio, September 26, 1871. He was of Welsh descent. He lived in Fredonia, New York, until he came to Ashtabula County, Ohio, at the age of fifteen. He studied law in Canton, and was admitted to the bar there, but commenced the practice in Marion. To eke out an existence he taught school and afterward embarked in mercantile pursuits in a small way. He practiced his profession, however, when opportunity offered. On February 7. 1838, the Legislature elected him Presiding Judge of the Second Judicial Circuit of the State for a period of seven years, and on the expiration of the term he was re-elected. In June, 1856, Governor Chase appointed him to the vacancy on the Supreme Bench, caused by the resignation of Judge Convers. He was elected to the office in October following. In 1860 he was one of the Republican Presidential electors, and had the pleasure of voting for Abraham Lincoln.

at which he subsequently obtained his educaHe boarded at home and walked daily to and from the college, and was graduated, with the highest honors of his class, in 1821. After his graduation he followed teaching for a time, during which he was also engaged in the study of the law. In 1830 he located in Bucyrus, Crawford County, Ohio, and began the practice of his profession. In 1840 he was elected to represent Crawford, Marion and Delaware counties as a member of the House in the Thirty-ninth General Assembly. In 1851 he removed to the city of Hamilton, and in 1856 was elected as a Republican to a seat on the Supreme Bench. Shortly after his election he was appointed to a vacancy on the Bench caused by the resignation of Judge Ranney, and therefore began his official duties almost on the day following the election. He was reelected in 1861 and again in 1866, and urged to be a candidate in 1871, but declined. On leaving the Bench he again removed to Bucyrus, and practiced in the courts of Crawford County. In January, 1876, he was appointed a member of the Supreme Court Commission by Governor Hayes, retiring in 1879. This was his last public office, his death occurring in 1885.

Christopher Parsons Wolcott, Attorney General, was born at Wolcottville, Connecticut, December 17, 1820. In 1833 he In 1833 he removed to Steubenville, Ohio. He attended the common schools and also Jefferson College, Pennsylvania, from which he was graduated in 1840. He studied law, was admitted to the bar and began practice in Ravenna, Portage County, Ohio. In 1846 he removed to Akron, and upon the death of Attorney-General Kimball in 1856 Governor Chase appointed him to the vacancy. was subsequently elected and served two

He

terms. These covered the Breslin Treasury defalcation and the celebrated Wellington Rescue case. His argument before the Supreme Court of the United States in the latter case was widely celebrated as a profound exposition of the law. In May, 1862, at the special request of Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War, he assumed the arduous duties of First Assistant Secretary and devoted himself to this work so assiduously that it caused his death, April 4, 1863.

Anson Smyth, State Commissioner of Common Schools, was a native of Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania, where he was born January 1, 1812. He was educated in Milan Academy, Williams College and Yale Theological Seminary, graduating from each institute. He became a clergyman and also followed the occupation of teacher. He removed to Ohio in about 1845. When first proposed for Commissioner of Common Schools he was residing in Toledo, but shortly prior to the date of the State Convention he removed to Columbus to assume charge of an educational publication. Before that he had been Superintendent of the Public Schools at Toledo and after his second official term was ended became Superintendent of the Cleveland City Schools. He died at Cleveland, Ohio, May 2, 1887.

John Waddle, Member of the Board of Public Works, was born at Chillicothe, Ohio, April 27, 1814, and died there December 30, 1882. He received his education at the Chillicothe Academy, and chose engineering as his profession. His first active service was on the Walhonding Canal and later on the Ohio Canal. In 1854 he became Chief Engineer of the Marietta and Cincinnati Railroad, a position he held until his death, except during his one term as member of the Ohio State Board of Public Works.
