" This volume is publi.shed for the laudable purpose of acquainting our people with those puV)lic men of the times, whose abilities and distinguished services have won for them a fame, and elevated them to a position from which, either in response to the cravings of ambition or the exalting cries of friends, they can command the consideration of their names by an intelligent, discriminating people as can- didates for the for the highest office in the gift of the Republic. After the nominations are made this book will not be valueless, as the great men whose names and faces adorn its pages, will not pass from view because of the loss of this coveted prize, ])ut they will bow to the inevitable with patriotic impulses, and continue to serve their country with great zeal and wisdom, and be up again, many of them, at the next struggle, con- testing for these great honors. Being non-partisan, it can offend no one, and in distributing them we wish to remind our patrons that when wanting anything in our line, that our stock is as complete and our prices as low, if not lower, than those of any of our competitors. Trusting its pages will be found valuable to you, and that we shall have the pleasure of your patronage, we are Yours Truly, WARD & JONES. NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION St. Louis, Mo., June 5, 1888.

In 1S44, lie gradupted and entered the law school at Cambridge, Mass. He came to Cmcinnati in the fall of 1846, and entered the law office of Chase & Ball, where he completed his studies.

That same year he was elected Lieutenant Govenor of New York, and he had been Mayor only six months when he removed to Albany. The resemblance between Gov. Hill and Presi- dent Cleveland is great. They have both been lawyers^ politicians, and Mayors of their respective cities and Govenors of their State, and remain bachelors. During the 21 years Gov. Hill lived at Elmira, he has taken his meals regularly at the same place, the .same as President Cleveland did in pjiiffalo. In anotlier part of the city he has elegant batchelor quarters, as Grover Cleveland had, where he entertains generally. He is very fond of the theatre and concert room. He is of medium height, and of straight compact figure, not quite like that of Cleveland^ but he wears a black coat tightly buttoned, ji st as the President does. He is noied among other things for his great regularity. When he was in Elmira, his friends could tell to the minute almost when he would go up Lake Street to his meals. ABRAM S. HEWITT. UEMOCK.AT.
