He passed his early youth in Kentucky, where he received his primary education, and graduated from Woodward High School in his native city and from Kenyon College, in 1840. He then engaged in the study of law, but removed to Tennessee, where he became a teacher in Spring Hill Seminary. While in that State he was admitted to the bar, and also assisted in the publication of a newspaper called the Tennessee Democrat. Returning to Cincinnati in 1844, he was admitted to the bar in accordance with Ohio laws, and was brought into political prominence by appointment as Assistant Prosecuting Attorney of Hamilton County. Although a Democrat he was a believer in Freesoil doctrines, and in 1846 assumed editorial charge of the Cincinnati Herald, an anti-slavery paper founded by Gamaliel Bailey. He continued with this. paper until 1849, when he was elected Clerk of the House in the Forty-ninth General Assembly. This was due largely to the influence of Salmon P. Chase, who was his warm personal friend, and who, himself, was elected to the United States Senate by the same Legislature. In 1851 he was elected as one of the first board of three Common Pleas Judges for Hamilton County under the new Constitution, serving until January 1, 1853. In 1855 he was elected to the Senate in the Fifty-first General Assembly as a Democrat, and in 1858 was appointed by President Buchanan United States Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio, much to the surprise of the Administration Democrats and Republicans. Not wishing to embarrass President Lincoln, although he was then a Republican, he resigned this office early in 1861. At the outbreak of the Civil War he received a commission as Lieutenant Colonel in the noted Twenty-third Ohio Volunteer Infantry Regiment, and served with that organization in West Virginia until October, 1861, when he was appointed Colonel of the Fifty-first Regiment, with which he served, in the Army of the Cumberland, until May, 1863. During part of that time he commanded a brigade consisting of the Fifty-first and Ninety-ninth Ohio, the Eighth and Twenty-first Kentucky and the Thirty-first Indiana regiments. He resigned to accept the office of Judge of the Superior Court of Cincinnati, to which, with Bellamy Storer and George Hoadly, he had been elected. He held this office but one year, resigning to resume his private practice. In 1864, and again in 1868, he was honored by the Republican party by being chosen Presidential Elec ter. In 13m, us the Republican nominee for Congress in the Second fistrict, he was defeated by his Democritic opponent, Henry B.

Previous to his election to that position he was for twelve years Deputy County Auditor. In 1890 he was elected County Auditor and has since been reelected twice, in 1893 and again in 1896, and in all probability will be allowed to serve as long as he desires or until his death. George K. Nash was born on a farm in Medina County, Ohio, August 14, 1842. His parents were natives of Massachusetts, of English ancestry. In addition to a common-school course he attended Oberlin College, retiring to study law in his sophomore year. In April, 1867, he was admitted to the bar in Columbus and immediately began practice. In 1864 he volunteered as a private in the One Hundred and Fiftieth Ohio Volunteer Regiment, serving with honor. For a time he was chief clerk in the Department of State under General Sherwood. He was elected Prosecuting Attorney of Franklin County in 1870 and again in 1872, although the county was strongly Democratic. In 1876 he was the Republican nominee for Congress, but was defeated. In 1877 he was defeated for Attorney General, as were the other candidates on the Republican State ticket; but was elected to that office in 1879 and reelected in 1881. In 1880 and 1881 he was Chairman of the Republican State Executive Committee. He was appointed on the second Supreme. Court Commission, which organized in 1883 and concluded its labors in 1885. In 1895 he was a prominent candidate for nomination for Governor before the Republican State Convention. He was again chosen Chairman of the Republican State Executive Committee in 1897. Joseph F. Lukens was born in Baltimore County, Maryland, December 11, 1838. In early life his parents emigrated to Ohio, where he has since lived. His present residence is at Lebanon, which has been his home for a quarter of a century. He was educated at the Ohio University, receiving the degree of A. B. in 1866 and A. M. in 1869. In May, 1862, he enlisted in the Eighty-seventh Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, but was discharged for disability the following October. He has followed the profession of teaching all his life, and has been superintendent of the schools of the following cities of the State: Portsmouth, Wooster and Lebanon. When nominated for Commissioner of Common Schools by the Republican State Convention in 1877, he was connected with the schools of Kent. Kent, He was not a politician or a can didate for the place, but his candidacy was due to the efforts of friends, and his defeat was not because of lack of merit. He has never sought or held a political office, although friends advocated his renomination at a subsequent State Convention. Augustus W. Luckey was born March 6, 1817, at Gallipolis, Ohio. In 1823 his father removed the family to a farm sixteen miles from Lower Sandusky, and the son was educated in the common schools and was raised as a farmer, becoming afterward a dealer in real estate. In 1850 he laid out the town of Elmore and was interested in additions to the city of Toledo. On becoming of age he was elected Justice of the Peace, serving nine years. In 1861, Governor Tod appointed him Draft Commissioner for his section of the State. In 1877 he was a candidate for Member of the State Board of Public Works, but shared in the general defeat of the Republican party. chair and said he would occupy the fifteen minutes that would elapse before the Committee would be ready to report. He proceeded to contrast the marked differences between the Republican and Democratic parties, showing that at all times in the war, during reconstruction, and in the attempt to deal with the labor question in their recent State Convention, the Democratic party had always been governed by its violent and reactionary elements. "A week ago," said he, "they talked of the pauperization of labor, after having worked for more than fifty years to place one-fifth of the labor population in chains and buy and sell and scourge them." He reviewed the Democratic frauds in connection with the Presidential election, the bad faith of the Democrats in their attempt to defeat the electoral count and complimented in strong terms the forty Southern men who broke loose from their Northern leaders and declared the promises were made in good faith and should be kept. In regard to the President's course he declared that When the Republican party comes to where the roads fork it is ready to say that military methods shall come to an end and the process of peace begin-to reunite all the States, North and South, and grant equally the right of self-government. This does not mean that the party has abandoned its belief in the Constitutional Amendments. am glad our own chief, chosen from among us, has had the courage to see the epoch in which he lives, and has dared to do what he believes the necessities of the Nation require. It is our duty to see that he is fairly, independently, but earnestly supported in the struggle he is now carrying on.' 64 I After considerable further delay the platform was finally reported, as follows: The Republicans of Ohio, in Convention assembled, congratulate the people that during their long term of control of the affairs of the State, no stain has been found upon their record as a party; that their management of local affairs has been true to the moral and industrial interests of the people, and therefore, they confidently point to their past as the best evidence of their intentions for the future. On National questions the Republicans of Ohio claim the, same fidelity to right principles and practices they have exhibited in local and State affairs. Appealing to the determination of the people to maintain Republican principles and practices, they offer for the candid consideration of the voters of Ohio the following: Resolved, 1. That we affirm and adopt the platform and resolutions of the National Convention of the Republican party, adopted in Convention at Cincinnati, in June, 1876. 2. The Republicans of Ohio reaffirm their unfaltering confidence in RUTHERFORD B. HAYES as a statesman, patriot, and Republican, and cordially approve and support his efforts for the pacification of the country and the establishment of its civil service upon a basis of purity and efficiency. 3. We reaffirm it as the unalterable purpose of the Republican party to maintain and enforce the provisions of the recent Amendments of the Federal Constitution, guaranteeing the equal rights of all citizens before the law, irrespective of race or color, and insist upon the full and effectual performance by the Federal Government, in executing all of its powers and its Constitutional obligations in that behalf. 4. We are in favor of both silver and gold as money; that both shall be legal tender for the payment of all debts, except where otherwise specially provided by law, with coinage and valuation so regulated that our people shall not be placed at a disadvantage in our trade with foreign nations, and that both metals shall be kept in circulation as the money of the Nation, as contemplated by the Constitution, and we, therefore, demand the remonetization of silver. 5. We are opposed to any further grants of public lands, or money subsidies, or the extension of the public credit of the General Government, to aid in the construction of railroads. 6. We are opposed to renewal of patents which are burdensome and oppressive to the masses of the people, and especially to the laboring classes, by acts of Congress. 7. We view with alarm the present disturbed condition of the country as evidenced by the extensive strikes of workingmen, followed by destruction of life and property in different parts of the country, and while we deprecate each and every resort to |
