THE 

PREVIOUS 

QUESTION 



Is not debatable, but the compiler of the Legislative 
Directory for 1897 begs leave to exercise his privilege 
under the rules and close the debate. The edition of 
1895 was so well received by persons interested in 
Illinois and the men who have made Illinois the 
greatest and most influential among the galaxy of 
American states, that I have been to considerable 
expense in time and money to verify the data pub- 
lished in 1895. Not exceeding half a dozen errors 
were discovered, and the present edition is presented 
as being accurate. 

Where so many men of many minds meet in an 
assembly it is impossible to bring all of them to a 
common center, viz : To realize the value of a work 
of this kind. This is the only excuse I offer for fail- 
ing to secure portraits of every member of the For- 
tieth General Assembly. However, seventy-five per 
cent of the members are represented by portraits, and 
an epitome of the life of every one is given. 

Thanking my friends for valuable assistance, 
Sincerely, 




Springfield, 111., March, 1897.

THE GOVERNOR. 

r 

John Riley Tanner was born April 
4. 1844, in Warrick Co., Intl., the par- 
ticular site of his birth being a log 
house three miles from Boonville. He 
attended the common school of his 
neighborhood and worked on the farm 
of his father, acquiring the rudiments 
of a pioneer education. There were 
live males in the family, father and 
four sons, and every one offered his 
life for his country in the civil war. 
The mother died at Carboudale, 111., 
in 1863. The father enlisted in the 
14th 111. Cav., Avas captured and ended 
his life in a rebel prison pen in Colum- 
bus, Miss. Albert Tanner volunteered 
in the 26th Ky. Inf., was severely 
wounded in battle, and died in Nash- 
ville, Tenn., in 1863. Frederick en- 
listed in the 13th 111. Cav., and died in 
a hospital in Pine Bluff, Ark., in 1864. 
.1. M. Tanner was also a member of 
the 13th 111. Cav., served with distinc- 
tion through the war, and Avas mus- 
tered out a lieutenant in rank in 1865. 

John R. Tanner entered Co. A, 9Sth 
111. Inf., in 1863, and served until 
June, 1865, when he was transferred 
to Co. K., 61st Inf., and was mustered 
out in September, 1865. He served 
in Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and 
Georgia. It is the united testimony 
of the comrades who marched and 
fought with John R. Tanner that a 
better and braver soldier never wore 
the Union blue. He never shirked a 
duty or avoided a danger. Gener- 
ous to a fault, he shared his blanket 
and crust with a needy comrade, and 
under the deadly fire of rebel guns, 
where men became iron with nerves 
of steel, John R. Tanner never flinched 
nor showed his back to an enemy. 

Returning to Illinois, Gov. Tanner 
purchased sixty acres of land in Clay 
county, for which he paid $600. Tak- 
ing for a wife Miss Lauretta Ingra- 
hain, he began farming. This was 
his occupation in 1870, when he was 
elected sheriff of Clay county. This 
was followed by a term as circuit 
clerk, at the close of which he again 
engaged in farming and in the real 
estate business. In 1880 he was 
elected to the state senate from the 
44th district, redeeming both his own 
county of Clay and the senatorial dis- 
trict from the democracy. During 
his senatorial term he engaged in saAy- 
ing lumber in partnership with his 
brother. J. 31. Tanner, continuing in 
this business until 1886, when he was 
elected state treasurer. receiA'ing 276.- 
680 votes to 240.864 for Henry F. J. 
Ricker. democrat. It was one of the 
largest majorities eA T er given a state 
officer in Illinois, being exceeded. IIOAA-- 
ever, by the phenomenal majorities 
for the state candidates in 1894, 



which, in part, at least, Avere due to 
Gov. Tanner, then chairman of the re- 
publican state committee, and man- 
ager of the campaign. 

For about a year Gov. Tanner was 
U. S. marshal for the Southern Dis- 
trict of Illinois by appointment of 
President Arthur, and tor about the 
same time member of the Railroad 
and Warehouse Commission, by ap- 
pointment of Gov. Fifer. Resigning 
the latter office he was shortly there- 
after made by President Harrison, 
Assistant United States Treasurer at 
Chicago, which responsible and im- 
portant office he held until the demo- 
cratic appointee succeeded him. 

In the many responsible and honor- 
able positions held by Gov. Tanner 
prior to his election as governor, he 
demonstrated his business capacity 
and his faithful attention to details. 
He ably and honestly discharged 
eA r ery trust reposed in him by the peo- 
ple. He is a prodigious worker. He 
knows that a sluggard cannot succeed 
in business or politics any more than 
a lazy general can win battles. Hence, 
he never saved himself, and labored 
early and late, giving minute attention 
to the details of his business or the 
duties of the office he held. 

Reluctant to enter upon the race 
for governor in 1896, and becoming a 
candidate only upon the earnest solic- 
itation of many prominent and influ- 
ential republicans, once in he AA r as in 
to win, and not to lose. The spring 
campaign in 1896 preceding the repub- 
lican state convention was marked by 
an almost unanimous desire for Gov. 
Tanner to head the ticket in Illinois. 
County after county instructed its del- 
egates to the state com'ention for him, 
and long before the convention met it 
Avas absolutely certain that he would 
be named for governor on the first 
ballot. Early in the contest, which 
was good-natured from start to finish, 
there AA r ere no less than six avowed 
candidates for governor, and a score 
more were hoping for an opening in 
the competition. GOA T . Tanner was 
named on the first ballot by an over- 
Avhelming majority oA T er all in the 
largest convention 'of republicans that 
ever gathered in Illinois. 

He made a magnificent canvass of 
the state, but received a set-back by 
an accident at Ouincy early in the 
campaign, when the horses attached 
to his carriage ran away. Almost 
every county AA\IS A'isited, and h'e was 
elected bv on enormous maiority, re- 
ceiving 587.637 votes to 474,256 for 
John P. Alteeld. the candidate of the 
democrats and populists, who com- 
bined on ex-GoA r . Altgeld. 

In 1887 Gov. Tanner lost his wife 
by death. leaA'ins: to his care a son 
and daughter. December, 1896, Gov. 
Tanner married Miss Cora Edith Eng- 
lish, an accomplished and highly con 
nected lady of Springfield.

LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR. 

*r 

William A. Northcott, Lieutenant- 
Governor and President of the Sen- 
ate, was born in Murphysboro, Ten- 
nessee. At the breaking ont of the 
war his father, Gen. R. S. Northcott, 
was compelled to leave his home on 
account of his Union sentiments, and 
went to West Virginia, where he ac- 
cepted a commission as colonel and

position which he now holds, he has 
been twice unanimously reflected. 
In 1892 Mr. Northcott was the repub- 
lican candidate for congress in the old 
Eighteenth congressional district of 
Illinois, commonly called "Morrison's 
District." and which contained the 
cities of Belleville, East St. Louis and 
Alton. While Mr. Northcott was de- 
feated in the democratic landslide of 
that year, yet he conducted his cam-

HENDRICK V. FISHER^Senate. 

fT 

Col. Hendrick V. Fisher (rep.), of 
Geneseo, 33d district, president pro 
teiupore of the senate, and in event of 
death or resignation of the lieutenant- 
governor, the successor of the latter 
under the constitution, is now serving 
his third term. He was born in 
Wilkesbarre, Pa., October 15, 1846, and 
received a good education at Wyoming 
Seminary, Pennsylvania. After his 
school days he entered the general 
offices of the D., L. & W. R. R., as 
clerk. In '08 he came west to Aurora, 
Illinois, where he engaged in the busi- 
ness of general merchandise. Later 
he embarked in the manufacture of 
stoves and hardware and moved to 
Geneseo in 18G9. 



1889 he was chairman of the Commit- 
tee on Railroads, one of the most im- 
portant in the house. He made a 
strong plea for a western hospital for 
the insane to be located in northwest- 
ern Illinois. The bill died on third 
reading. However, the measure be- 
came a law during the session of 1895, 
Senator Fisher's first year in the state 
senate. The hospital is located near 
Rock Island, in his district. He was, 
'89-'93, appointed by Gov. Fifer colonel 
and aide-de-camp on his staff. 

Senator Fisher has been one of the 
leaders on his side of the chamber at 
every session of which he has been a 
member. He has always been a stal- 
wart republican, and has been a prom- 
inent figure in state politics for many 
years. He was elected to the senate 




SENATOR FISHER, PRESIDENT PRO TEMPOBE. 



In 1800 Mr. Fisher married Miss Ab- 
bie F. Steele, of Geueseo, and they 
have three handsome little girls. 

Mr. Fisher was a member of the 
house in '87, and though it was his first 
experience in the legislature he was 
given charge of the important commit- 
tee of Canal and River Improvement. 
At that time there Avas strong talk of 
making a ship waterway between the 
Mississippi river and Lake Michigan. 
Mainly through his effoi-ts the General 
Assembly passed a bill ceding to the 
federal government all the locks and 
dams on the Illinois and Michigan 
canal, for the purposes indicated. 
Work has begun on the Hennepin ca- 
luil. and it is possible that the original 
intentions may yet be carried out. In 



in 1894 by the large majority of 8,174 
over his democratic opponent, al- 
though President Harrison carried the 
district by only 3,000 in 1892. He was 
chosen president pro tern pore in the 
republican caucus in January, 1897. 
by acclamation. In the chair Senator 
Fisher is entirely fair and impartial. 
He has tlms far made a most excel- 
lent impression on all senators. 

Senator Fisher's great-grandfather 
was a Hollander, came to- America in 
1720, was President of the first Pro- 
vincial Congress of New Jersey and 
chairman of the Committee of Safety. 
He was one of the founders of the 
Dutch Reformed church of America, 
and prominent in establishing Rutgers 
College, New Jersey.

SPEAKER ED. C. CURTIS. 

r 

Edward C. Curtis (rep.), of Grant 
Park, Speaker of the house, is probably 
the youngest man ever chosen to the 
position of speaker in this state. He 
was born in Yellowhead township, 
Kankakee county, August 12, 186o. 
He is a son of Alonzo and Elizabeth 
(Campbell) Curtis. The Curtis fam- 
ily has nearly two centuries of hon- 
orable history in America, and were 
among the early settlers at the head 
of Lake Champlain. The Battle of 
Bennington was fought on the old 
Curtis homestead. Alonzo Curtis 
came to Illinois in 1852 and engaged 
in farming. About 1870 he removed 
to Grant Park and entered the mer- 
cantile business. 

After completing his studies in the 



sion was endorsed by his people, and 
he was returned to the present house 
by an increased majority, receiving 
tiie nomination in convention by ac- 
clamation. He made a thorough cam- 
paign in his district for the republi- 
can ticket and spoke at many places 
outside of the district. He was made 
a candidate for speaker by his friends 
last .January, the morning of the re- 
publican house caucus. Before night 
all the other candidates had with- 
drawn in his favor, and he was ac- 
corded the unusual distinction of be- 
ing nominated by acclamation. Mr. 
Curtis is a member of the Methodist 
Episcopal church, a Knight Templar. 
Odd Fellow. Modern Woodman, and 
other societies. He is not married. 

As a speaker he is as fair as it is 
possible for a partisan to be when

village, Ed Curtis spent some years at 
DuPauw University, Greencastle, Ind.. 
and Northwestern University, Evans- 
ton, 111. In vacations he clerked in 
his father's store, and after college 
he took charge of this branch of his 
father's business. A banking depart- 
ment was soon afterwards added, and 
the Grant Park Banking Co. organized, 
of which Ed C. Curtis became cashier, 
a position he now holds. 

Although active in politics Mr. Cur- 
tis never held an office until 1895, 
when, as a member of the house, he 
took a pronounced stand in favor of 
economy in public expenditures and 
in opposition to legislative corruption. 
The record he made during that ses- 



conf routed by able political opponents. 
His thorough knowledge of parlia- 
mentary law and practice has been 
demonstrated on more than one occa- 
sion. In order to facilitate business 
and close the labors of the session, 
Speaker Curtis instituted a much- 
needed reform in the Illinois house 
on April 7. The democratic side re- 
fused to vote, thus breaking a quorum, 
and Speaker Curtis noted on the jour- 
nal the names of eighteen democrats 
who were present and not voting. 
He has surprised political friend and 
foe by exhibiting a thorough knowl- 
edge of parliamentary law and prac- 
tice. He is a member of the Delta 
Kappa Epsilon fraternity.

HENRY H. EVANS Senate. 



Henry H. Evans (rep.), of Aurora, 
14th district, is the oldest member of 
the General Assembly in consecutive 
service. He was elected to the house 
of representatives in 1876, and in 1880 
was promoted to the senate. His re- 
election followed regularly in 1884, 
1888, 1892, and 1896, and when Sena- 
tor Evans completes his present term 
he will have served continuously for 
twenty years in the state senate. Only 
once during all that time was there 
serious opposition to his reelection by 
democrats or republicans, and that 
was in 1888, when an independent re- 
publican ran against him. Senator 
Evans' majority, however, was about 
the usual size. His majority in 1896 
was almost 10,000. 



Senator Evans took a prominent 
part. The senatorial contest be- 
tween Gen. John A. Logan and 
Col. Wm. R. Morrison in 1885 was one 
of the most prolonged battles of its 
kind, and several members died be- 
fore the deadlock was finally settled. 
The General Assembly was a tie on 
joint ballot. At that time Senator 
Evans' advice was sought and heeded 
on many occasions. The battle of 
1891 when the three farmers held the 
balance of power in the General As- 
sembly between the two great parties 
tried the stalwart republicanism of 
Senator Evans. Many of the republi- 
can leaders, eager to defeat a demo- 
crat for United States senator, were so 
anxious to accomplish that end that 
they attempted to force republicans 
to vote for A. J. Streeter, populist. 
But Senator Evans, at the head of a 




SENATOR EVANS, DEAN or THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. 



Senator Evars was born in Toronto. 
Canada, March 9. 1836, and in 1841 
his parents moved to Aurora, taking 
him with them. 

His record in the Illinois legislature 
is a long and honorable one. At every 
session he was not only prominent 
but one of the leaders who made and 
unmade laws for the people of Illinois. 
At every session excepting one. he 
was the leader of the controlling 
element in the senate. Some of 
the greatest legislative battles ever 
fought have been witnessed in Spring- 
field, and in every one of them 



determined old guard, declared he 
never would vote for Streeter, even if 
the caucus decided for him. At the 
same time he was willing to vote for 
any republican the caucus might se- 
lect. His constituents endorsed his 
action by returning him to the senate 
the next year by an increased major- 
ity. Senator Evans is financially in- 
terested in real estate and corporate 
property in Kane and Cook counties 
to a large extent. He is very influen- 
tial in the senate, and his long exper- 
ience in state affairs has given him a 
wide acquaintance with public men.

COL. CHAS. BOGARDUS Senate. 



Col. Charles Bogardus (rep.), of 
Paxton. 18th district, one of the old- 
est members in point of consecutive 
service, was born in Cayuga county, 
New York, March 28, 1841, and at the 
age of six was left an orphan. In 
a "catch-as-catch-can" way he ob- 
tained a fair common school education 
and began working in a country store 
at the age of twelve. For nine years 
he practiced industry and frugality, 
meantime learning from school books 
and the wider school, the world, prac- 
tical lessons. In 1862 he enlisted as 
a private in the 151st New York infan- 
try; was elected first lieutenant of his 



in farm lands as buyer and seller, and 
himself owns and operates many mag- 
nificent farms in the fertile prairies 
of eastern-central and northern Illi- 
nois. Col. Bogardus is a practical 
farmer: the latest improvements in 
machinery and modern methods are 
employed on his property. 

In 181)2 Col. Bogardus married Miss 
Hannah W. Pells, of Orleans county, 
N. Y. They have but one child living. 

Senator Bogardus has a long and 
honorable record in Illinois politics 
beginning with his first session in the

Orville F. Berry (rep.), of Carthage, 
28th district, is one of the best parlia-

born on a McDonough county farm, 
Feb. 16, 1852, and was early left an 
orphan. He obtained a fair common 
school education, however, and at the 
age of sixteen struck out for himself. 
At first he worked as a farm hand. 
Then he removed to Carthage, where 
he read law, and was admitted to the 
bar in 1877. Two years later he 
formed a partnership with Hon. 
Thomas C. Sharp, and in 1879 Senator 
Kerry's brother, M. P., was added to 
the firm. They have had a very suc- 
cessful and lucrative practice, extend- 
ing all over western Illinois. 



Anna M. Barr, of Hancock county. 

In 1888 the democrats of Illinois 
made a herculean effort to carry the 
state and the Hancock district was 
regarded as doubtful. The republi- 
cans were importuned to name their 
strongest man, and Senator Berry 
was induced to make the race. He 
was elected. In 1892 the democrats 
swept the state, Senator Berry's dis- 
trict giving Harrison only 187 major- 
ity; while his own majority was 244. 
But the legislature of 1893 was demo- 
cratic and a new gerrymander was 
made, throwing Senator Berry into 
what was thought to be a hopelessly 
democratic district. In '96 by a politi- 
cal trick and without warrant of law

years. He is a Royal Arch Mason, a 
Knight of Pythias, a Modern Wood-

that the secretary of state illegally

John Humphrey (rep.), of Orlaiid. 
Cook county, 7th district, is a lawyer 
by profession and an Englishman by 
birth. He was born in the county of 
Norfolk, England, June 20, 1838, and 
was brought to this country by his 
parents when a lad of ten years. The 
family settled in Cook county, Illinois, 
where Senator Humphrey received a 
common school education. He read 
law in the office of Hon. James P. 
Koot. and was admitted to the Illinois 
bar in 1872. He lives in Orland and 
practices his profession with an office 
in the Monaduock building, Chicago. 

Senator Humphrey owns a large 



session by the introduction of two 
bills of great importance. One of 
them provides for a commission to be 
appointed by the governor, which is 
given the power of granting franchises 
to all street railroads in Illinois, and 
the authority to pass on all regula- 
tions of street car lines, including the 
time card, heating apparatus, seating 
capacity, speed, motive power, etc. 
This commission is also empowered to 
decide whether there shall be any ex- 
tensions of old lines or the establish- 
ment of new lines, and its powers are 
almost absolute. The municipalities 
are to be recompensed for the privi- 
leges granted the street car corpora- 
tions, by receiving from one to seven 
per cent on the gross earnings of the

president of the board of trustees of 
Orland for five years, and still holds 
the office, although he has not desired 
it. He was bailiff under Sheriff Brad- 
ley, of Cook county, for a time. 

Senator Humphrey is one of the old- 
est members in point of consecutive

was elected to the house in '70, '80 and 
'84, and was advanced to the senate 
in the next general election. 1886, and

by the population and time in which 
the franchise operates. The bill is 
only operative on corporations that ac-

of such are extended for fifty years 
from September, 1897. The bills 
passed the senate April 10. 1897.

Winnebago, to which Stephenson is 
attached by ties of the strongest kind 
politically, had a candidate for state 
auditor, and Senator Aspinwall did

Northern Illinois has not been recog-

Gen. Smith ran for state treasurer,

dound to his advantage. No member 
of the General Assembly has done 
more for the people of the state than 
Senator Aspinwall. He is regarded

and a man of standing in the counsels 
of his party in the state.

The new Criminal Court Building

His position in the state senate is 
practically the only political office he

list of good committees, and is dis- 
posed to apply business rules, rather

STATISTICAL HISTORY 

Of Illinois from 1800 to 1897 



Of all Illinois Governors, Present State 
Officers, etc. 



ILLINOIS TERRITORY. 



The Illinois Territory was established by act of Congress, approved Feb. 3, 1809, which 
provided as follows : 

"That from and after the first day of March next, all that part of the Indiana Territory 
which lies west of the Wabash river and a direct line drawn from the said Wabash river and 
Post Viucennes due north, to the territorial line between the United States and Canada, 
shall, for the purpose of temporary government, constitute a separate territory, and be 
called 'Illinois.' " 

The seat of government was fixed at Kaskaskia. The territorial government was con- 
tinued under the first grade from 1809 until 1812, when by a vote of the people the second 
grade was adopted. Under the first grade, the Governor and Judges, who received their 
appointment from the President, constituted the Legislative Council, and enacted laws for 
the government of the people. The Governor possessed almost unlimited power in the ap- 
pointment of officers; the Secretary of the Territory being the only officer not appointed by 
the Governor. Under the second grade, the people elected the Legislature, which was com 
posed of a Legislative Council and a House of Representatives. The Legislative Council was 
composed of five members, and the House of Representatives of seven members. 

The Legislature enacted the laws for the government of the people, but the Governor 
was possessed of the absolute veto power, and was therefore in a position to dictate the 
laws, if he chose to exercise the power. 

The people also elected the Delegate to Congress by popular vote.

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT. 



Under the constitution of 1818 the elective officers were the Governor and Lieutenant- 
Governor, who held office for four years. The election returns were transmitted by the re- 
mning office'-s, directed to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, whose duty it was 
to open and publish them in the presence of a majority of each house of the General Assem 
bly. In case of a tie the choice was made by a joint ballot of both houses. The first election 
for Governor and Lieutenant-Governor was held on the third Thursday of September, 1818. 
Thereafter the elections were held every four years on the first Monday of August. 

The Secretary of State was appointed by the Governor, with the advice and consent of 
the Senate. 

The Auditor of Public Accounts, Treasurer and Attorney-General were elected by the 
General Assembly, and held office foriwo years respectively. 

By the constitution of 1848 all these officers were made elective by the people, except the 
Attorney General, which office was abolished. The term of office for each was four years, 
except the Treasurer, which was two years. 

The office of Attorney-General was again created by law in 1867, and the term fixed at two 
years. The office was first filled by appointment by the Governor, and at the expiration of 
the term by' election by the people. 

The constitution of 1870 provided that the Executive Department shall consist of a Gov- 
ernor, Lieutenant-Governor, Secretary of State, Auditor of Public Accounts, Treasurer, 
Superintendent of Public Instruction, and Attorney-General, who shall each, with the ex- 
ception of the Treasurer, hold office for four years from the second Monday in January next 
after election. 'The Treasurer holds office for two years, and is ineligible for re-election un- 
til the expiration of two years next after the end of his term. The first election under the 
constitution of 1870 was held Nov. 5, 1872. 

By a law passed in 1849 the Secretary of State was made ex-officio State Superintendent of 
Public Schools. In 1854 the law establishing a system of free schools created the office of 
State Superintendent, and provided for the appointment by the Governor, upon the taking 
effect of the law, of some person to hold office until the election in 1855, when a State Super- 
intendent should be elected, and every two years thereafter. 

The offices of Adjutant-General, State Geologist, and Entomologist, etc., are created by 
law, and filled by appointment. 

[NOTE. The early records on all State offices are very unsatisfactory.]

Assembly, and apportioned among the several counties ordistricts to be established bvlaw, 
according to the number of white inhabitants. The number of Representatives shall not be 
less than twenty-seven nor more than thirty-six, until the number of inhabitants within this 
State shall amount to 100,000; and the number of Senators shall never be less than one-third 
ormore than one-half of the number of Representatives." 

Section 8 of the Schedule provided that the representation of the first General Assembly 
should be as follows: 

"Sections. Until the first census shall be taken as directed by this constitution, the 
county of Madison shall be entitled to one Senator and three Representatives; the county of 
St. Clair, to one Senator and three Representatives; the county of Bond, to one Senator and 
one Representative; the county of Washington, to one Senator and one Representative; the 
county of Monroe, to one Senator and one Representative; the county of Randolph, to one 
Senator and two Representatives; the county of Jackson, to one Senator and one Represen- 
tative; the counties of Johnson and Franklin, to form one Senatorial district, and to be en- 
titled to one Senator, and each county one Representative; the county of Union, to one 
Senator and two Representatives; the county of Pope, to one Senator and two Representa- 
tivesjthe county of Gallatin, to one Senator and three Representatives; thecountyof White, 
to one Senator and three Representatives; the county of Edwards, to one Senator and three 
Representatives; and the county of Crawford, to one Senator and two Representatives." 

Apportionments were made by law as follows: 

Feb. 14, 1821: Senate, 18; House, 36. Jan. 12, 1826: Senate, 18; House, 36. Feb. 7, 1831: 
Senate, 26; House, 55. Jan. 14, 1836, the ratio for a Senator was fixed at 7,000 white inhabit- 
ants, and for a Representative, 3,000. By this law the State was entitled to 40 Senators and 91 
Representatives. Feb. 26, 1841, the ratio for a Senator was fixed at 12,000, and for a Repre- 
sentative, 4,000. The Senate consisted of 41 members, and the House of Representatives of 
121 members. 

Under the last two apportionments made, the membership of the General Assembly 
varies one or two from the number designated by the acts probably owing to a variation of 
population. 

Feb. 25, 1847, another apportionment was made, by which the ratio was fixed at 19, 000 fr a 
Senator, and 6,500 for a Representative. The Senate was made to consist of 34 and the House 
100 members; but before an election was held under this law the constitution of 1848 was 
adopted, and the apportionment made thereby took effect. 

APPORTIONMENT UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OF 1848. 

Section 6, Article III., of the constitution of 1848 provided: 

"Section 6. The Senate shall consist of ^5 members, and the House of Representatives 
shall consist of 75 members, until the population of the State shall amount to one million of 
souls, when five members may be added to the House and five additional members for every 
500,000 inhabitants thereafter, until the whole number of Representatives shall amount to 
100; after which, the number shall neither be increased nor diminished; to be apportioned 
among the several counties according to the number of white inhabitants. In all future ap- 
portionments, where more than one county shall be thrown into a representative district, 
all the Representatives to which said counties may be entitled shall be elected by the entire, 
district." By section 8 of the same article, an apportionment was required to be made in the 
year 1855, and every tenth year thereafter. Section 40, same article, apportioned the repre- 
sentation in the General Assembly at 25 Senators and 75 Representatives, and divided the 
State into districts, as follows:

APPORTIONMENT UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OF 1870. 

Section 13 of the Schedule, constitution of 1870, provided that, upon the adoption of the 
new constitution, the Governor and Secretary of State should immediately thereafter pro- 
ceed to fix the apportionment for members of the House of Representatives; the apportion- 
ment to be based upon the United States Census of 1870, if the same should be ascertained in 
time therefor; if not, then to be based upon the State Census of 1865. The ratio of repre- 
sentation in the House was to be ascertained by dividing the population of the State by 153 
the quotient to be the ratio; every county or district, when Its population amounted to 
three-fifths of the ratio, to be entitled to one representative; each county or district having 
a population equal to a ratio and three-fifths, to be entitled to two representatives, and for 
each additional number of inhabitants equal to the ratio, one representative. 

Section 14 of the Schedule directed that the districts should be regularly numbered, com- 
mencing with Alexander county, proceeding northwardly, and terminating with Cook. 

Section 15 of the Schedule provided that the Senate, at its first session under the constitu- 
tion of 1870, should consist of 50 members, being two for each district under the constitution 
of 1848. 

The Minority-Representation section having been adopted, the legislative article of the 
constitution provides as follows: 

The General Assembly shall apportion the State every ten years, beginning with the year 
1871, by dividing the population of the State by 51, and the quotient shall be the ratio for 
representation in the Senate. The State shall be divided into 51 senatorial districts, each of 
which shall elect one senator, whose term of office shall be four years. The senators are 
elected every two years, in odd and even-numbered districts alternately, beginning with the 
even-numbered districts in 1872. 

The House of Representatives consists of three times the number of members of the Sen- 
ate, and the term of office is two years. Three representatives are elected in each senatorial 
district, at each general election for members of the General Assembly ; the election occurring 
in each even-numbered year, on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in the month of 
November. Each qualified voter may cast as many votes for one candidate as there are 
representatives to be elected, or may distribute the same, or equal parts thereof, among the 
candidates, as he shall see fit; and the candidates highest in votes shall be declared elected. 

APPORTIONMENT OF 1870. 

The representation in the Twenty-seventh General Assembly, which convened Jan. 4,1871, 
being the first under the constitution of 1870, as apportioned by the Governor and Secretary 
of State, consisted of 50 Senators and 177 Representatives, and the State was divided into

74 JUDICIAL DEPARTMENT. 



JUDICIAL DEPARTMENT. 



We are indebted to the late Norman L. Freeman, Esq., Reporter of the 
Supreme Court, for the following interesting- sketch of the early history of the 
Supreme and Circuit Courts under the constitutions of 1818, 1848 and 1870. 

The first constitution of the State declared that the judicial power of the State of Illinois 
should be vested iu one Supreme Court and such inferior courts as the General Assembly 
should, from time to time, ordain and establish. 

The Supreme Court was vested with appellate jurisdiction only, except in cases relating 
to the revenue, in cases of mandamus, and such cases of impeachment as might be required 
to be tried before It. It consisted of a chief justice and three associates, though the number 
of justices might be increased by the General Assembly, after 1824. 

The justices of the Supreme Court and the judges of the inferior courts were appointed by 
joint ballot of both branches of the General Assembly, and commissioned by the Governor, 
and held their offices during good behavior, until the end of the first session of the General 
Assembly which was begun and held after the first day of January, in the year 1824, at which 
time their commissions expired; and until that time the justices of the Supreme Court were 
required to hold the circuit courts in the several counties, in such manner and at such times, 
and were to have and exercise such jurisdiction, as the General Assembly should, bylaw, 
prescribe. 

But after the period mentioned, the justices? of the Supreme Court and the judges of the 
inferior courts held their offices during good behavior; and the justices of the Supreme Court 
were no longer compelled to hold the circuit courts unless required by law. The State was 
accordingly divided into four judicial circuits, within which the chief justice and associate 
justices of the Supreme Court were assigned to perform circuit duties, which they continued 
to do until the year 1824. 

On the 29th of December, 18'/4,an act was passed declaring that, in addition to the justices 
of the Supreme Court, there should be appointed by that General Assembly five circuit 
judges, who should continue in office during good behavior, and by the same act the State 
was divided into five judicial circuits. Thus, for the first time, the justices of the Supreme 
Court were relieved from the performance of circuit duties, which now devolved upon the 
five circuit judges. 

The circuit judges, however, were permitted to remain in office only about two years, as, 
by the act of 12th January, 1827, those sections of the act of 1824, which provided for the ap- 
pointment of five circuit judges, and dividing the State into five judicial circuits, were re- 
pealed; and the State was again divided into four judicial circuits, in which the chief justice 
and three associate justices were again required to perform circuit dut'.es. 

The justices of the Supreme Court then continued to hold all the circuit courts until a 
circuit judge was elected by the General Assembly, in pursuance of the act of Jan. 8, 1829, 
which declared that there should be elected, by joint ballot of both branches of the General 
Assembly, at that session, one circuit judge, who should preside in the circuit to which he 
might be appointed, north of the Illinois river. A circuit judge was elected in pursuance of 
that act, and at the same time the Fifth judicial circuit was created, in which the circuit 
judge was required to preside, the justices of the Supreme Court continuing to perform their 
duties in the other four circuits. 

The circuit courts continued to be thus held until the passage of the act of Jan. 7, 1835, by 
which all laws requiring the justices of the Supreme Court to hold the circuit courts were re- 
pealed, and it was provided that there should be elected by the General Assembly, at that 
session, five judges, in addition to the one then authorized by law, who should preside in 
the several circuit courts then or thereafter required to be held in the several counties in the 
State. The five additional circuit judges were accordingly elected, and at the same session 
the Sixth judicial circuit was created. The justices of the Supreme Court were thus again 
relieved from the performance of circuit duties, which, for the second time in the judicial 
history of the State, devolved upon the circuit judges exclusively. 

The judiciary remained unchanged until 1841, the number of judicial circuits and of cir- 
cuit judges being Increased from time to time, as the business of the courts required. The 



JUDICIAL DEPARTMENT. 75 

Seventh judicial circuit was created by the act of Feb. 4, 1837, an'd an additional circuit judge 
was elected; and by the act of Feb. 23, 1839, the Eighth and Ninth circuits were created, and 
provision made for the election of two additional judges, which was done. 

The judiciary of the State was reorganized by the act of Feb. 10, 1841, which repealed all 
former laws authorizing the election of circuit judges, or establishing the circuit courts, thus 
again legislating out of office all the circuit judges in the State. The act then provided Unit 
there should be appointed, by joint ballot of both branches of the General Assembly, at that 
session, five additional associate justices of the Supreme Court, who, in connection with the 
chief justice and the three associates then in office, should constitute the Supreme Court of 
the State. The State was at the same time divided into nine judicial circuits, and the chief 
justice and eight associate justices were required to perform circuit duties in those circuits; 
the circuit courts being again created at the same session. The judiciary as thus organized 
continued until the entire system was changed by the constitution of 1848. 

CONSTITUTION OF 1848. 

It has been seen that under the constitution of 1818, the Supreme Court was the only court 
created by that instrument, and the circuit courts had no existence except by legislative en- 
actment; but upon organizing the judiciary as it existed under the constitution of 1848, tlie 
circuit courts constituted a part of the judicial system as created by the new constitution it 
being declared in that instrument that the judicial power of the State shall be vested In one 
Supreme Court, in circuit courts, In county courts and in justices of the peace, and the Gen- 
eral Assembly is authorized to establish Inferior local courts of civil and criminal jurisdic- 
tion, in the cities of the State, but such courts must have uniform organization and jurisdic- 
tion in such cities. 

The Supreme Court consisted of three judges. The State was divided into three grand 
divisions, the people In each division electing one of said judges, for the term of nine years; 
though after the first election of judges under the constitution, the General Assembly could 
provide by law for their election by the whole State, or by divisions, as they might deem 
most expedient; but no change in that resj ect was made, and the judges of the Supreme 
Court continue to be elected by divisions, as provided in the constitution. 

These three grand divisions were established by the new constitution, but after the tak- 
ing of each census by the State they might be altered, if necessary, to equalize them in popu- 
lation, the alteration being required to be made by adding to either of the districts such ad- 
jacent counties as would make them nearest equal In population. Appeals and writs of error 
could be taken from the circuit court of any county to the Supreme Court, held in the division 
which included such county; or with the consent of all parties In the cause, to the Supreme 
Court in the next adjoining division. 

It is provided in the constitution, that the State should be divided Into nine Judicial cir- 
cuits, but the General Assembly might increase the number to meet the future exigencies of 
the State. The number of circuits was afterwards increased from time to time, as the busi- 
ness of the courts required, so that there were thirty judicial circuits in the State, in all, cre- 
ated under the constitution of 1848. In each of the nine circuits the constitution required 
that one circuit judge should be elected by the people thereof, who should hold his office for 
the term of six years, and until his successor should be commissioned and qualified. 

The first election for justices of the Supreme Court and judges of the circuit courts under 
the constitution, was required to be held on the first Monday of September, 1848, and it was 
further provided, that on the first Monday of June, 1855, and every sixth year thereafter, an 
election should be held for judges of the circuit courts; and whenever an additional circuit 
was created, such provision should be made as to hold the second election of such additional 
judge at the regular elections provided in the constitution. All vacancies, either in the 
Supreme or circuit courts, must be filled by an election by the people, though If the unex- 
pired term did not exceed one year, such vacancy might be filled by executive appointment. 

It was required that there should be two or more terms of the circuit court held annually 
in each county in the State, at such times as might be provided by law, and the circuit courts 
to have jurisdiction in all cases at law and in equity, and in all cases of appeal from all 
Inferior courts. 

Those were the constitutional provisions as to the organization and jurisdiction of the 
circuit courts as they existed under the constitution of 1848 the schedule to the constitution 
of 1848 further declaring, that the judges of the circuit courts should have and exercise the 
powers and jurisdiction conferred upon the former judges of those courts, subject to the pro- 
visions of this constitution. 

CONSTITUTION OF 1870. 

The constitution of 1870 vested the judicial powers in one Supreme Court, circuit courts, 



76 JUDICIAL DEPARTMENT. 

county courts, justices of the peace, police magistrates, and such courts as may be created 
by law, in and for cities and incorporated towns. 

The Supreme Court consists of seven judges, and has original jurisdiction, similar to that 
granted by the constitution of 1848. There Is one chief justice, selected by the court; four 
judges constitute a quorum, and the concurrence of four judges is necessary to a decision. 
The three grand divisions established by the constitution of 1848 for holding the Supreme 
Court are retained in the present constitution. The terms of the court, the judicial divisions 
and places of holding court are regulated by law. 

The State, for the election of supreme judges, is divided, by the constitution, Into seven 
districts, one judge being elected from each district. The election occurs on the first Mon- 
day in .June, hi each year, in such districts, as the terms of any of the judges may expire. 
The term of office is nine years. 

Appeals and writs of error may be taken to the Supreme Court held In the grand division 
in which the case is decided, or, by consent of parties, to any other grand division. The offi- 
cers of the Supreme Court, as fixed by the constitution, are: one reporter of its decisions, 
who is appointed by the court, holds office six years, and is subject to removal by the court ; 
one clerk in each of the three grand divisions, to be elected by the voters in their respective 
divisions, and hold office six years. 

APPELLATE COURTS. 

The constitution also provided for the creation of Appellate Courts, after the year 1874, of 
uniform organization and jurisdiction, in districts created for that purpose, to which such 
appeals and writs of error, as the General Assembly may provide, may be prosecuted from 
circuit and other courts, and from which appeals and writs of error may lie to the Supreme 
Court, in all criminal cases, and cases in which a franchise, or freehold, or the validity of a 
statute is involved, and in such other cases as may be provided by law. Such Appellate 
Courts to be held by such number of judges of the circuit courts, and in such times and 
places, and in such manner, as might be provided by law; but no judge shall sit in review 
upon cases decided by him, nor shall said judges receive any additional compensation for 
such services. 

Under the above provisions of the constitution, the legislature, In 1877, created four 
Appellate Courts, and provided districts as follows : the first to consist of the county of Cook ; 
the second to include all of the Northern grand division of the Supreme Court except the 
county of Cook ; the third to consist of the Central grand division of the Supreme Court, and 
the fourth the Southern grand division of the Supreme Court. Each court to bo held by 
three of the judges of the circuit court, to be assigned by the Supreme Court, three to each 
district, for the term of three years, at each assignment. 

Two terms of the Appellate Court are held in each district, in every year. One presiding 
justice Is chosen in each district by the judges thereof, for such time and in such manner as 
they may_determine. Two judges constitute a quorum, and the concurrence of two is neces- 
sary to a decision. Clerks of the Appellate Court are elected, one for each district, and hold 
office six years. 

The Appellate Courts have appellate jurisdiction only, and have jurisdiction of all mat- 
ters of appeal or writs of error from the final judgments, orders or decrees of any of the 
circuit courts, or the Superior Court of Cook county, or from the city courts, in any suit or 
proceeding at law, or in chancery, other than criminal cases, and cases involving a fran- 
chise or freehold, or the validity of a statute. Appeals and writs of error lie from the final 
orders, judgments or decrees of the circuit or city courts, and from the Superior Court of 
Cook county, diiectly to the Supreme Court, In all criminal cases, and in cases involving a 
franchise or freehold, or the validity of a statute. In all cases determined in the Appellate 
Courts, in actions, ex-contractu (except those involving a penalty), wherein the amount in- 
volved is less than $1,000, exclusive of costs, and in all cases sounding in damages, wherein 
the judgment of the court below is less than $1,000 exclusive of costs, and the judgment is 
aflirmed or otherwise finally disposed of in the Appellate Court, the judgment, order or de- 
cree of the Appellate Court shall be final, and no appeal shall lie or writ of error be prose- 
cuted therefrom. In all other cases, appeals shall lie and writs of error may be prosecuted 
from the final judgments, orders or decrees of the Appellate Courts to the Supreme Court. 
A majority of the judges of the Appellate Court may, however, if they be of the opinion that 
any case decided by them, involving a less sum than $1,000, also involves questions of law of 
such importance, either on account of principal or collateral interests, as that it should be 
passed upon by the Supreme Court, in such cases, grant appeals and writs of error to the 
Supreme Court, on petition of parties to the cause, in which case they shall certify to the 
Supreme Court the grounds upon which the appeal is granted. 

The law establishing the Appellate Courts went into effect July 1, 1877, the election of cir- 



JUDICIAL DEPARTMENT. 

cult judges took place in August, and the first assignment of Appellate judges was made by 
the Supreme Court at the September term, In the same year. These are substantially the 
constitutional and statutory provisions as to the organization and jurisdiction of the Appel- 
late Courts. 

CIRCUIT COURTS. 

Thejconstitution provides that the circuit courts shall have original jurisdiction of all 
causes In law and equity, and such appellate jurisdiction as is or may be provided by law, 
and shall hold two or more terms each year in every county. The judges are elected by dis- 
tricts, and hold office six years. 

Section 13 of the judiciary article of the constitution provides that the State, exclusive of 
Cook and other counties having a population of 100,000, shall be divided into judicial circuits, 
to be formed of contiguous counties, and not over one circuit for each 100,000 population; 
one judge to be elected for each circuit. The first election for circuit judges was required to 
be held on the first Monday in June, 1873, and every six years thereafter. 

The legislature, in 1873, In accordance with above section, divided the State, exclusive of 
Cook county, into twenty-six judicial circuits, and at the election In June,1873,one judge was 
elected for each circuit, for the term of six years. 

Section 15 provides that the General Assembly may divide the State into judicial circuits 
of greater population and territory, in lieu of the circuits provided for in section i:i,and pro- 
vide for the election therein, severally, by the electors thereof, by general ticket, of not ex- 
ceeding four judges, who shall hold the circuit courtsjin the circuit forwhi^ch they shall be 
elected, in such manner as may be provided by law. 

The legislature, in 1877, in order to increase the number of circuit judges, and to provide 
for the organization of the appellate courts, divided the State into thirteen districts, and 
provided for the election of one additional judge in each district, in August, 1877, for two 
years, making three judges in each district and thirty-nine in the State. The election took 
place Jn August accordingly, and in September following the Supreme Court assigned twelve 
of the circuit judges to appellate duty, and the remaining judges held the circuit courts in 
their respective districts. 

In June, 1879, three judges were elected in each of the thirteen judicial circuits, as created 
by the act of 1877. A second assignment was made by the Supreme Court, of circuit judges 
for appellate duty, at the June term, 1879, and the remaining judges perform circuit duty in 
the districts for which they were respectively elected. 

COURTS OP COOK COUNTY. 

The constitution of 1870 recognizes Cook county as a unit in the judiciary system of the 
State, by providing that the Supreme Court may hold one or more sessions eac-h year in the 
city of Chicago, whenever suitable rooms are provided, without expense to the State; and 
also constitutes the county of Cook one judicial circuit, and cxcepts the county in the dis- 
tricting of the State by the legislature into circuits. 

The circuit court of Cook county is made to consist of five judges, until their number shall 
be increased as provided by the constitution. The constitution provides that the General 
Assembly may increase the number of judges by adding one for every additional 50,000 in- 
habitants in the county over and above a population of 400,000. The term of office of the 
judges of the Cook county circuit court is also six years. 

The Superior Court of Chicago, established by law, 1849, formerly the Cook County Court 
of Common Pleas, was continued by the constitution, and called the Superior Court of Cook 
Cou ty. The constitution provides for an increase of judges of the Superior Court the same 
as the circuit court of Cook county. 

By an act of 1875, it is provided that for every 50,000 inhabitants over and above 400, 000 in 
Cook county, there shall be added one judge, until the court shall bo composed of nine 
judges. It is also made the duty of the Governor, whenever he shall ascertain from the 
census that the county of Cook is entitled to one or more additional judges, to issue a writ of 
election therefor, for the number to which the county is entitled. 

Accordingly, it appearing by the United States census of 1880 that the population of the 
county of Cook exceeded 400, 000, an election was ordered to be held for four additional judges 
of the Superior Court of Cook county, at the November election, 1880, and the court wati 
increased by that number in accordance with the statute of 1875. 

The above comprises a concise history of the State courts; and a comprehensive though 
brief outline of the judicial system of the State from its organization to the present time.

The State Board of Equalization was orgauized by act of the General Assembly, approved 
March 8, 1867. As at first composed, the board consisted of twenty-five members, one 
elected from each Senatorial district. In 1872 tlie law was so amended as to reduce the num- 
ber of members to nineteen, one being elected from each Congressional district. The first 
board, under the act of 1867, was appointed by the Governor and held office two years. 
Since the first board, the term has been four years. The Auditor of Public Accounts is, ex- 
offlcio, a member of the board. 

The duties of the board are to equalize the assessment between counties, by adding or 
deducting the per cent, necessary to do so. The board is prohibited by law from reducing 
the aggregate assessment, but may increase it i.ot to exceed one per cent. The board makes 
the assessment upon capital stock of incorporated companies and railroad property. The 
sessions of the board are held annually, in August.

1822, to Dec. 6, 1826, was born in Albemarle county, Virginia, Dec. 15, 1786, and was among 
the youngest of ten children. His father was a planter and owned many slaves. During 
college Gov. Coles' mind was impressed with the moral nrongfulness and political impolicy 
of slaveholding, and he resolved when he came into possession of his share of his father's 
slaves he would set them free. When his father died in 1808 he became entitled to twenty- 
five slaves and 1,000 acres of land. Mr. Coles became the private secretary of President 
Madison. In person he was tall and graceful. He was gifted with a wide fund of informa- 
tion, social tact and conversational powers. He is said to have brought'about a reconcilia 
tion between Madison and Monroe and also Adams and Jefferson, who had become 
estranged. In 1816 he was sent 011 a special mission to Russia. He spent the summer of 1818 
in Illinois and witnessed the efforts to form a constitution. In the spring of 1819 he moved 
with his slaves to Illinois One moonlight night, while floating down the Ohio to Illinois 
inflatboats, Gov. Coles called all his slaves around him and in a speech set them free. 
They tendered him a year's service free, but he declined the offer. He gave the head of 
each family 160 acres of land near Edwardsville, some money, and exercised a paternal care 
over them. When elected Governor he was register of the land office at Edwardsville. In 
1833 he moved to Philadelphia, married Miss Sallie Logan Roberts, by whom he had one 
daughter and two sons. He died July 7, 18G8. For Governor, Coles received 2,810 votes,

NIXIAX EDWARDS, third Governor, Democrat, of Madison, from Dec. 6, 1826, to 
Dec. 9, 1830, was born in Montgomery county, Maryland, In March, 1775, and was Terri- 
torial Governor of Illinois. He was a life-long friend of William Wirt. He had a collegiate 
course at Carlyle, Pa., and studied law, but was sent into Kentucky to select lands for his 
brothers and sisters and open a farm. He located in Nelson county, and was early 
chosen a member of the Kentucky legislature. Before he was 32 years old he had 
filled the offices of presiding judge of the general court, circuit judge, fourth judge of the 
appeals and chief justice of the State, which last he held when his associate, Justice Boyle, 
was appointed Territorial Governor of Illinois. A change was made Edwards, through 
the friendship of Henry Clay, being appointed Governor of Illinois, and Boyle chief justice 
in Kentucky. Gov. Edwards was a fine-looking man, large and with a distinguished air and 
courtly manners. He was fluc'iit of speech and wielded a ready pen. He was elected Gov- 
ernor at the regular election in August, 1826. "Edwards," says Gov. Ford, "was a large, 
well-made man, .with a noble, princely appearance, who never condescended to the common 
low arts of electioneering. Whenever lie went out among the people he arrayed himself in 
the style of a gentleman of the olden time, dressed in fine broadcloth, with short breeches, 
long stockings and high, fair topped boots; was drawn in a fine carriage driven by a negro; 
and for success lie relied on ills speeches, which were delivered in great pomp and in a style 
of diffuse and florid eloquence. When he was inaugurated he appeared before the ge'ieral 
assembly wearing a gold-laced cloak, and witli great pomp he pronounced his first message 
to the legislature." He died July 20, 1838. He received 6,299 votes to 5,818 for Thos. Sloo.Jr.

JOHN REYNOLDS, fourth Governor, Democrat, of St. Clair, Dec. 9, 1830, to Nov. 17, 
1834, was born in Montgomery county, Pennsylvania, Feb. 26, 1789, of Irish parents, who 
removed to Tennessee while he was an infant, and to Illinois in 1800. He afterwards re- 
turned to Tennessee, where he received "a classical education," as he asserts in his "Life 
and Times," but for this information no one would have ever suspected it, either from tils 
conversation, public addresses or writings. He disliked polish, condemned fashion, and 
was profane. These weregarnished by his varied learning, native shrewdness and wonderful 
faculty of garrulity. He was tall ; his face long and bony and deeply furrowed, and under his 
high, narrow forehead rolled his eyes, large and liquid, expressive of volubility. His nose 
projected well downward to his ample mouth. His thoroughly democratic manners, social 
disposition and talkative habit caused him to mingle readily with the people and enjoy their 
confidence. He was a judge, served three terms in congress, was afterward commissioned 
one of the State financial agents 10 negotiate large sums to carry on internal improvements 
He was always a staunch Democrat. In 1858, however, he refused to follow Douglas, siding 
with Buchanan in his effort to fasten slavery on Kansas, and his hatred for Douglas was such 
that he preferred Liucoln for the senate to Douglas. In 1860, old and infirm, he attendtd the 
Charleston convention an anti-Douglas delegate, supporting Breckenridge. After the 
October elections, foreshadowing the election of Lincoln, he published an address urging 
Democrats to rally to the support of Douglas, hoping that the election would be thrown into 
the house, which would have elected Breckenridge. During the war he was clearly in sym- 
pathy with the South. He died in Belleville May 8. 1865 He served in the legislature in 
1846-48 and 1852-54; he was speaker the last term. In 1858 he was the Buchanan -Democrat 
candidate for Superintendent of Public Instruction. He wrote several books. He was 
elected to congress in 1834, and on Nov. 17 resigned the office of Governor. He received 
12,835 votes to 8,948 for William Kiuney, Whig.

JOSEPH DUNCAN, fifth Governor elected, Democrat, of Morgan, Dec. 3, 1834, to Dec, 7, 
1838, was born at Paris, Ky., Feb. 23, 1790. He served gallantly in the war of 1812. In Illinois he 
was major general of militia. Subsequently he became a State senator, and introduced the 
first bill providing for a free school system. In 1826 he gained great eclat by defeating 
Daniel P. Cook for congress. He retained his seat in congress until elected Governor, when 
he resigned. For Governor he received 17 330 votes to 10,224 for William Kinney, Whig, and 
4,320 for Robert McLaughlin and 887 for James Adams. He served the first year in the Black- 
hawk war as brigadier-general of volunteers. Gov. Duncan was a man of limited educa- 
tion, but natural abilities. He was well adapted to gain the admiration of the people, and 
in his intercourse with them he was affable, courteous and dignified. He did not personally 
participate in the campaign, but remained in Washington. Illinois then was divided politi- 
cally by Whigs and "Jackson Democrats," and Duncan was the candidate of the latter, 
who worshipped Old Hickory. However, unknown to the people of the State, Congressman 
Duncan had become estranged from Jackson, and now as cordially hated the President as 
before he had loved him. The Whigs and leading Jackson Democrats tried to make th^ 
people believe this, but they would not Jackson had vetoed bills for the improvement of 
the harbor of Chicago and the great W abash river, and had crushed the United States bank, 
measures which Duncan had set his heart on. The means of communication in those days 
were limited, and the people did not know Duncan's sentiments until he presented his 
inaugural. He died Jan. 15, 1844. After his election he was classed as a Whig, and eight 
years after his election was nominated by the Whigs for Governor, but was defeated.

common school education and spent a short time at Dartmouth. He was admitted to the har 
in 1831 and shortly afterwards settled in Albion. After a year he moved to Paris. Here he en- 
tered public life by going to the legislature. A strong attachment sprang up between him and 
Stephen A. Douglas. In 1839 Gov. French was appoirited receiver of the Un ited States land office 
at Palestine, Crawford county, then an important point, where he resided when named for

JOEL A. MATTESON, tenth Governor elected, Democrat, of Will, Jan. 10, 1853, to Jan. 
12, 1857, was born Aug. 8, 1808, in Jefferson county, New York. He received a common school 
education, taught school, improved a farm his father left him, built railroads in the South, 
and in 1833 he removed with his family to Illinois, taking a claim near the head of Au Sable 
river, ia the present Kendall county. In 1835 he bought largely at government land sales, 
and next year during the speculative mania that pervaded Chicago and the State he sold his 
lands at inflated prices and moved to Joliet. In 1838 he took heavy contracts with the Illinois 
and Michigan canal. When lie completed his job In 1841, when hard times prevailed, business 
at a stand, contracts paid in State scrip, he bought from the State 700 tons of railroad iron. 
He sold this in Detroit, paid his debts and had several thousands left. He started a woolen 
mill in Joliet, which assumed enormous proportions. In 1842 he was'elected State senator, 
but by a bungling apportionment John Pearson held over from the same district. Mr. Pear- 
son immediately resigned for the two years he had to serve, a bill was passed in a few hours, 
and in ten days Matteson took his seat. He wis made chairman of the finance committee, 
which lie held for ten years. Besides his woolen mill, when work was resumed on the canal 
under the new loan of $1,600,000, he again became a heavy contractor, and subsequently 
extensively engaged in railroad building. In his message lie strongly urged the passage of 
a free school bill, and in 1855 it was passed. He died in Chicago Jan. 31, 1873. His Whig 
opponent for Governor was E. K. Webb, of White. Matteson received 80,789 votes, and 
Webb 64,408. Two years after Matteson had left the office it was discovered that $224,182.06 
of 90-day canal scrip that had once been red eme'I by the State, but not canceled, had been 
stolen from the State treasury and was in possession of ex-Gov. Matteson. He maintained 
that he came honestly by it, and courted the fullest investigation, meantime turning over 
all his properly to the State until the truth was discovered. The thief was never found, 
and the State realized $255,500 from the sale of Matteson 's property.

WILLIAM II. BISSELL, of St. Clair, eleventh Governor elected, the first Republican 
Governor, from Jan. 12, 1857, to March 15, ISdO, was born April 25, 1811, near Painted Post, Yates 
county, N. Y. He received tin academic education. Early in life he moved to Monroe 
county and took up the law. In 1840 he was elected to the Illinois house as a Democrat. 
When he returned he qualified for the law. He was twice married, his first wife being Misti 
James, of Monroe county, by whom he had two daughters, probably yet living In Belleville, 
where he lived when elected Governor; his wife died about 1810. His second wife was a 
daughter of Elias K. Kane, United States Senator from Illinois; she survived him but a short 
time and died without issue. In 1846 he enlisted in the Mexican war and was chosen colonel 
over Don Morrison by an almost unanimous vote 807 to 6. After the war he was elected to 
congress twice as a Democrat over P. IJ Fouke and Joseph Gillespie. His lower extremities 
became paralyzed before his term of office expired, caused by exposure in the war, and he 
died March 15, 1860, in Springfield, nine months before his teun expired. He died in the 
faith of the Roman Catholic church, of which he had been a believer since 1854. While in 
congress he accepted a challenge from Jefferson Davis to fight a duel, and when he took the 
oath of ortice was obliged to swear he had never fought a duel or accepted a challenge. It 
was made the text for John A. Logan, then a Democratic member of the Illinois house, who 
delivered a speech of two days' length, extremely bitter and vituperative. Evidence from 
a number of Democrats, including Win. R. Morrison, was given to show that Bissell had 
accepted the Davis challenge. Bissell, who was an anti-Nebraska Democrat when nomi- 
nated, received 111,466 votes; William A. Richardson (Democrat), 106,769; Buckner S. Morris 
(Knownothing), 19,088.

Revolutionary war. He moved to Shawneetown in the summer of 1819, and in March, 1820, 
settled in Pike county, thirty miles southeast of Quincy. In 1821 he visited the present site 
of Quincy, bought a quarter section of land and in the fall of 1822 erected a cabin on it. It 
was the first building in Quincy. In 1824 he gave newspaper notice that he would apply to 
the legislature to form a new county. It was done in the winter of 1825, and in the summer 
Quincy was selected as the county seat, wlien there were four male adult and two female in- 
habitants. He made that his home thereafter. He was mayor and alderman many times, 
and in 1850 was elected to the State senate. In 1856 he was nominated for Lieutenant Governor 
by the Republicans, and on Gov. Bissell's death in 1860 became Governor. He was one of 
the five delegates sent by Illinois to the famous Peace Conference in 1861, and was quarter- 
master general in Illinois during the war. He was married two times, and died in Quincy 
June 4, 1880. Gov. Wood was a Whig and afterwards a Republican. It was his influence 
that named Adams county and the town of Quincy, after his famous hero, John Quincy 
Adams. He has many descendants left in Quincy and Adams county.

prosecuting attorney of Andrew county, but in the fall of '75 he resigned and removed to a 
wider field Chicago. He took little interest in politics -for several years, but in '84 accented

majority. In '86, without solicitation on his part, he was nominated for Superior Court judge

detail became apparent in this canvass, and was a factor in determining the Democratic 
State convention in '92 to nominate him for Governor. He resigned from the bench in 
August, '91. The campaign of '92 was remarkable for the work done by Gov. Altgeld. He 
received 425,558 votes to 402,676 for Joseph W. Fifer, Republican. Gpv. Altgeld is the author 
of several valuable literary works dealing with economic questions, the most important

Co., 111. R. N. Cullom was a promi- 
nent and influential whig and fre-

an appropriation of $320,000 for a fed-

reflected in '66 and '68, but in '70 a 
factious opposition had been aroused, 
he was defeated for the nomination, 
and the district was lost to the republi- 
cans. In '72 he was returned to the 
General Assembly, and unanimously 
chosen speaker by the republican cau-

the house. 
In '70 he was elected governor, and

he began the study of law in Spring- 
field. His health becoming impaired 
his progress was slow and he was ad- 
mitted to practice in '55. Soon after 
this he was elected city attorney. In 
'56 he entered political life as a mem- 
ber of the legislature, and despite the 
variance of political creed between 
himself and his constituents, he was 
retiirned in '60, although Sangamon 
county gave the Douglas electors a 
small majority. Mr. Cullom was cho- 
sen speaker. In '62 he was appointed 
by President Lincoln, with ex-Gov. 
Boutwell and Charles A. Dana, a com- 
missioner to examine and pass upon 
the accounts of the quartermasters 
and U. S. disbtirsing officers. In '64 
he was elected to congress, transform-

in the administration he developed the 
highest qualities of statesmanship. In 
'80 he was again elected governor, the 
first and only time a governor has been 
elected to succeed himself for two full 
terms. In '83 he was advanced to the 
U. S. senate and was reflected in '89 
and '95. His senatorial career has 
been brought most prominently before 
the public through his Inter-State 
Commerce bill. Senator Cullom has 
been in the service of his state and 
country over a third of a century, and 
there are years of usefulness yet before 
him. Should the day come when the 
people shall call upon him to fill the 
chair occupied by those two other 
great sons of Illinois Lincoln and 
Grant the record of his past affords 
the surest guarantee that the destinies 
of the republic may safely be entrust-

THE JUNIOR U. S. SENATOR. 

r 

William Ernest Mason, was born in 
Frankliuville, N. Y., July 7, 1850. In 
'08 the family moved to Bentonsport, 
Iowa, where the father died in '65. 
The senator had received the rudi- 
ments of an education, and had stud- 
ied two years at Birmingham College. 
He began teaching school and devoted 
himself alternately to teaching and 
studying until '68. During the next 
two years he taught in the public 
schools of Des Moines. 

He then began the study of law and 



guished himself on the floor of the 
house on numerous occasions. 

Senator Mason is a man of the peo- 
ple, and from experience knows .tneir 
needs, their hopes and their ambitious, 
and enters heartily into any movement 
calculated to better their condition. He 
was one of the most popular men in 
congress, being under all circum- 
stances a most genial and affable gen- 
tleman.

a partnership with Judge M. It. M. 
Wallace and later with Mr. Ennis. He 
was known as a safe counselor and es- 
pecially as an able and eloquent advo- 
cate. Mr. Mason has always been a 
staunch republican, and an enthusias- 
tic worker in the interest of that par- 
ty. Before he was 30 years old he was 
a member of the General Assembly of 
Illinois, and in '82 was sent to the sen- 
ate. In the legislature he was con-

the interests of his constituency, and 
close attention to business. 

In '86 he was elected congressman 
from the Third district, was reflected

reflected credit upon those who elected 
him. Possessing oratorical powers of 
high order, a ready wit and a broad 
knowledge of public affairs, he distin-

nown as a campaign orator. 

In the campaign of '96 he stumped 
Illinois from one end to the other un- 
tiringly for five months, and after the 
election he went into his own campaign 
for the United States senate, which 
terminated successfully Jan. 20, '97. 
He has already distinguished himself 
as a parliamentarian in the senate, 
and is destined to become one of the 
leaders of that august body. 

Senator Mason has recently formed 
a partnership, under the title of Ma- 
son, Holmes & Mason. Judge Holmes 
is a distinguished lawyer from Sioux 
City, and the junior member of the 
firm is Mr. Mason's eldest son, Lewis 
F., who is a promising young man.

Illinois, was born October 13, 1850, 
and has spent his entire life in Illinois, 
having been raised in Golconda, the 
eonnty seat of Pope county. Mr. 
Rose's opportunity for an education 
was confined to the public schools and 
to one term in the Northern Illinois 
Normal University. He commenced

in a country school in his own county. 
Four years thereafter he was elected 



In 1889 he was appointed by Govern- 
or Fifer one of the trustees of the Pon- 
tiac Reformatory, in which position 
he served not quite one year, when the 
governor appointed him one of the 
commissioners of the Southern Illinois 
Penitentiary at Chester, in which po- 
sition he remained until the change in 
administrations in 1893. In the spring 
of 189(5, Mr. Rose having been solicited 
by a number of friends throughout the 
state, became a candidate for the office 
of secretary of state. He received the

his home town, Golconda. 

At the age of 22 he was elected coun- 
ty superintendent of schools of Pope 
county, as a republican, and was re- 
elected four years thereafter. Before 
the close of his second term he w r as ad- 
mitted to the bar and a year later 
was petitioned by the citizens of his 
county to resign the office of county 
superintendent of schools to become 
state's attorney of the county, which 
he did, being elected without opposi- 
tion. At the end of his first term as 
state's attorney he was renominated

ed by a majority of 137,611. 

Mr. Rose is a married man, having 
been wedded on July 14, 1874, to Miss 
Elizabeth Young, of Golconda. His 
acquaintance .throughout the state is 
qiiite extensive. lie was one of the 
leading campaign speakers during the 
last three campaigns. During the 
campaign of 1896 perhaps no speaker 
or candidate traveled more miles or 
made more speeches than he. 

In his new office Mr. Rose has insti- 
tuted several needed reforms, and bids 
fair to administer the affairs of his re- 
sponsible office in a manner to merit 
the commendation of the people.

by Gov. Tanner March 17, '97. Mr. 
barton is one of the best known news- 
paper men in Illinois, and for years 
has been one of the most prominent 
journalists of southern Illinois. He 
is the first member of the Typographi- 
cal Union to fill the position. Mr. 
Barton's appointment was especially 
gratifying to labor organizations for 
this reason. In politics he has been a 
prominent and influential figure in Illi- 
nois for a great many years. Always 
active and earnest, he was never an 
office seeker.

of his ticket. In 1892 he was nomin- 
ated for state treasurer, but was beat- 
en, together with the balance of the 
republican ticket, in the big landslide. 
He is one of the active working re- 
publicans of this county, and has for 
many years been one of the best or- 
ganizers within the ranks of the repub- 
lican party. As an instance of his or- 
ganization and his general work for 
the party, we call attention to the vote 
on the northwest side twelve years ago 
and now. Twelve years ago that part 
of the county gave about 3.000 demo-

Sewing Machine Company for a while, 
was clerk in a bank for a couple of 
years, and immediately after the fire 
he worked as a farm hand on a farm 
near Dixon, in Lee county. 

In 1878 he was transferred from a 
clerkship in the recorder's office to the 
position of record writer in the office 
of the clerk of the Criminal Court, 
where lie remained until he, in 1884, 
Avas elected coroner of Cook county by 
10.000 majority. In 1888 he was re- 
elected coroner by an overwhelming 



cratic majority. In 1894 the same ter- 
ritory gave about 7,000 republican ma- 
jority.

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL. 

*r 

Edward C. Akin, Attorney General 
of Illinois, was born in Will county, 
July 19, 1852, and was educated in the 
public schools of Joliet, and at Ann Ar- 
bor, Mich. For four years he was pay- 
ing and receiving teller in the First 
National Bank of Joliet, where he ac- 
quired an extensive acquaintance 
throughout Win county. He was ad- 
mitted to the bar in the fall of 1878, 
and has continued in active practice 
ever since. He began his political ca- 
reer in 18S7, Avhen he was nominated 



the democratic nominee by -a majority 
of 260 votes, receiving nearly as many 
votes as both his opponents combined. 

As a lawyer he stands among the 
leaders at the Will county bar. As a 
public prosecutor he has no superior 
in the state, and his conduct of munici- 
pal affairs won for him the admiration 
of all good citizens, regardless of par- 
ty. He is a man of high character 
and sterling integrity, and although he 
has been prominently before the peo- 
ple of his county for the past ten 
years, no breath of suspicion has ever 
been cast upon his private life or offi-

as the republican candidate for city 
attorney of Joliet, and although the 
city was at the time democratic from 
500 to 600 he defeated the democratic- 
nominee by a majority of 716. In 
1888 he was nominated for state's at- 
torney of Will county, and at the elec- 
tion led the entire state and county 
ticket by 800 votes. In 1892 he was 
renominated and again led his ticket 
by hundreds of votes, and is credited 
by the leaders of both political parties 
with having saved the republican coun- 
ty ticket from defeat. His most bril- 
liant political victory was achieved in 
the spring of 1895, when he ran as the 
republican candidate for mayor of Jo- 
liet. Although opposed by a citizens' 
ticket, led by a republican, he defeated 



cial acts. Mr. Akin is a man of tine 
appearance and pleasing address, and 
has won an enviable reputation 
throughout the state as a public speak- 
er. 

Attorney General Akin has rendered 
opinions on several very important 
questions thus early in his incumben- 
cy, and the Supreme Court has taken 
the same view as Mr. Akin on every 
question submitted to it, in which the 
attorney general has been interested. 

Mr. Akin is married to Louise M. 
McRoberts, eldest daughter of Judge 
.Tosiah McRoberts, and they have one 
child, Gertrude McR., aged 18.

The State Board of Arbitration. 



Daniel J. Keefe, of Chicago, Chair- 
man State Board of Arbitration, Avas 
born in Cook county Sept. 27, 1853. 
si nd has been a laboring man all his 
life. He has been connected with the 
Chicago Lumber Vessel Unload ers 
Union as president since '82, and still 
holds the oth'ce, which is a salaried 
one. The union embraces about 1,- 
100 men. He is now and has been for 
two years President of the Interna- 
tional Longshoreman's Union, and is 
arbitrator for the Lake Carrier's as- 
sociation, the Longshoremen and the 
Lumber Dealers, representing the 
three elements on the arbitration 
board. He has been a delegate to the 



conventions of the American Federa- 
tion of Labor since '92. All these 
things indicate that Mr. Keefe pos- 
sesses the confidence of diverse ele- 
mentscapital and labor, and that 




ARBITRATOR KEEFE. 

Gov. Tanner in selecting him to rep- 
resent the labor element on the State 
Board of Arbitration certainly pleased 
everybody. He is married and has 
six children. This is his first politi- 
cal office. He always has been a con- 
servative trade-unionist, and has been 
a staunch republican all his life. 

Horace R. Calef, of Monticello, mem- 
ber State Board of Arbitration, was 
born in Piatt Co., 111., Nov. 12, 1854. 
He was the oldest son of Rufus Calef, 
who came to Illinois in '52 and set- 
tled on a tract of 5,000 acres of mag- 
nificent land, and who in his day was 
one of the greatest cattle kings in 
the country. In '77 Horace Calof mar-

of 22 was elected supervisor. He

filling four terms until he moved out 
of the township. Mr. Calef turned his 
attention from cattle to horses, breed- 
ing a fine line of draft and roadsters. 
He brought the famous trotting stal- 
lion Walsingham to Piatt county, 
which was the start of a large busi- 
ness in roadsters in that county. He 
has done more than any other man 
to encourage the turning out of speed 
stock in central Illinois. He has a 
son and two daughters. Mr. Calef is 
one of the shrewdest political work- 
ers, and is an active and enterprising 
citizen. He has been a member of the 
Piatt County Agricultural Board for 
eight years. 

Edward Ridgely, of Springfield, 
member State Board of Arbitration, 
vice Jos. B. Gill, resigned, was the 
candidate of the Gold-Standard Demo- 
crats of Illinois for state treasurer in 
'96, and has been an influential factor 
in politics and business in Springfield 
and Central Illinois since he attained 
his majority. He was born in Spring- 
field, Nov. 3, 1859, and graduated 
from the Springfield High school in 
'7(5: Adams Academy, Quincy, Mass., 
in '77, and Harvard College in '81. In 
'81 he entered the Ridgely National 
bank as clerk, and in '84 was made 
assistant cashier and four years later 
was promoted to be cashier, a posi- 
tion he now holds. He is secretary of 
the Gas Light Co., the Wilmington 
and Springfield Coal Co., and treas- 
urer of the Coal Operators' Mutual 
Fire Insurance Co. He is the son of 
Charles, and the grandson of Nicholas 
H. Ridgely, and therefore is the third 
generation of that family of bankers, 
widely known throughout the west as 
sound, conservative business men. 



Joseph B. Gill, of Murphysboro, 
democratic member State Board of 
Arbitration, was lieutenant-governor 
'93-97, and probably stands closer to 
the laborers of the state at large than

any other man. He served two terms 
in the house '89-91, and his earnest 
efforts in behalf of the laboring popu- 
lation were evident in every measure 
in their interest that came before 
those two general assemblies. Among 
others Gov. Gill was instrumental in 
securing the passage of the truck store 
bill, the gross weight coal bill, and 
the weekly pay bill. He also did all 
he could to advance the arbitration 
bill. -He was nominated for lieut-gov. 
in the democratic state convention of 
'92 on the first ballot, and presided 
with dignity and to the eminent satis- 
faction of senators of all parties over 
the senate for two sessions. In the 
spring of '94 while acting governor a 
demand came for troops from Toluca. 
Gov. Gill went to the scene in person 
and so powerful an influence did he 
exert that the trouble was settled 
without the militia. He was arbitra- 
tor between the M. & O. R. R. and its 
men in a labor dispute, the men win- 
ning. Shortly afterwards he was 
chosen arbitrator by the State Miners' 
convention between them and the 
operators in the troubles which re- 
sulted in the great strike of '95. The 
operators declined to arbitrate. Gov. 
Gill's selection as a member of the 
Board of Arbitration seems peculiarly 
appropriate. He was born near 
Marion, 111., Feb. 17, 1862, and grad- 
uated from the Southern Normal and 
Ann Arbor Law School. He bought 
and published for several years the 
Murphysboro "Independent," selling 
it when he became lieutenant-gover- 
nor. He is married and has one son. 
Note Owing to ill health, Gov. Gill 
was compelled to resign his place on 
the board, and go to California in May, 
'97.

WARDEN McCLAUGHRY. 

Maj. Robert Wilson McClaughry, 

Warden of the State Penitentiary. Jo- 
liet,was born in Hancock Co., 111.,. Tune 
22, 1839, and raised on a farm by strict 
old Presbyterian parents. He gradu- 
ated when 21 from Monmouth College. 
His college life was a severe struggle 
for existence and education because 
of the straitened circumstances of his 
parents. One year as tutor in the col- 
lege and another as editor of a demo- 
cratic paper in Hancock county and 
then he enlisted in the 118th Reg., 111. 
Vol. He was elected captain of Co. 
B, and a few months later major of 
the regiment. As major he entered 
the Vicksburg campaign. After Vicks- 
burg fell he served in the department 
of the gulf, but his health failing, his 
superior officers secured his appoint- 
ment as additional paymaster, TJ. S. 
A., at Springfield, where he remained 
until '05. Then folloAved a term as 
county clerk, several vears of business, 
failure and poor health. In '74 came 
the unsolicited offer of wardenship of 
the Joliet prison. The ten years pre- 
ceding his appointment had seen as 
many different wardens in charge and 
the final demoralization of the insti- 
tution. No one can describe his meth- 
odshis success is well known. The 
prisoner soon found himself surround- 
ed by temperate, gentlemanly guards 
and officers. He awoke to the realiza- 
tion that he was not only a human be- 
ing but a man. Good conduct secured 
for him opportunities for reform and 
privileges, and bad conduct brought 



him face to face with prompt, severe, 
but humane punishment. Fourteen 
years of able management placed War- 
den McClaughry among the expert sci- 
entific prison men of the nation, and 
made Joliet prison famous as a model 
modern institution. In '88 he resigned 
to accept a call to Pennsylvania, 
Ayhere he organized and placed upon a 
firm foundation, the Pennsylvania 
State Industrial Reformatory. The 
health of his family requiring a change 
to a dryer climate, he resigned solely 
on this account, intending to accept a 
position at the head of the famous Al- 
legheny County Workhouse near Pitts- 
burgh. The news of his intended 
change reached the ears of Mayor-elect 
Washburne, when, in May, '91, the call 
to the superintendency of the Chicago 
police department came unsolicited 
from that gentleman. For two years 
and a half he was busily engaged or- 
ganizing perfecting and divorcing from 
politics this department of public safe- 
ty. Sept., '93, he was called by Gov. 
Altgeld to the superintendency of the 
Illinois State Reformatory, and re- 
mained in charge until March 1, '97, 
when he was requested by Gov. Tan- 
ner to again take charge of the Illinois 
State Penitentiary.

nine years of his secretaryship. In 
politics there is no more energetic or 
astute worker in the state, and no man 
stands higher in the estimation of the 
men who lead the republican party of 
Illinois. One prominent feature of 
Mr. Wright's success is that he is ever 
true to his friends. As a partial rec- 
ognition of his political services, in '89 
Gov. Fifer appointed Mr. Wright a 
commissioner for the Joliet peniten- 
tiary, and he was elected secretary of 
the board. Mr. Wright is a self-made

ization of the Territory of Illinois, and embraces nearly ninety years of 
the State's history, it is almost impossible to prevent small errors. The 
publisher will consider it a favor if any reader will notify him of errors 
that he may discover, so that succeeding- editions may be corrected. 

Were it possible, a complete "Blue Book" would be incorporated in 
this volume, but the recent changfe in administration and the many 
resignations and discharg-es in state offices, as well as state institutions, 
are a bar to a "Blue Book" of value. The edition two years hence it 
is expected will contain the names, salaries and addresses of every officer 
and employe of Illinois on the first day of January, 1899.

STATISTICS REGARDING STATE INSTITUTIONS. 



STATISTICS REGARDING STATE INSTITUTIONS. 



The following tables from the biennial report of the Board of Public 
Charities, shows the ordinary expenses of each institution for each fiscal 
year since the year 1875; the net cost to the State of Illinois; the average 
number of inmates during each year, and the per capita rate per annum, gross 
and net. The date of closing the fiscal year has been changed twice during 
the past eighteen years. Before 1875 the fiscal year closed on the 30th of 
November, but, in 1875, it closed on the 1st of October, so that the expenses 
for 1875 cover only ten calendar months. Since 1888 the fiscal year has closed 
on the 1st of July, so that the expenses for that year cover only nine calen- 
dar months. In calculating the rate per capita, however, these changes have 
been taken into account, and the rate is stated at the figure which it would 
have reached if the fiscal year had consisted of twelve full months. The fact 
that the three months taken off from the fiscal year 1888 were those in which 
the educational institutions have a vacation tended to increase the average 
number of inmates for that particular year, and correspondingly to diminish 
the per capita cost. This applies to the Institutions for the Deaf and Dumb 
and for the Blind, the Asylum for Feeble- Minded Children and the Soldiers' 
Orphans' Home. 

An examination of the tables will satisfy an attentive reader that there 
has been, on the whole, a decided and steady improvement in the financial 
management of the State institutions.
