(Hammond Daily News.) THOMAS HAMMOND. The subject of this sketch was born at Fitchburg, Mass., in 1843, being now 49 years of age. His father was a carpenter, and of him the sen learned that trade and worked with his father until he was about 21 years of age. In 1866 at Leominister, Mass., he was united in marriage to Miss Helen Potter of that town. Their married life has been one of pleasure and to them five ehildre.i—;i daugbtors and 2 sons- have been born and are now living. The family i a model one, every member of it meriting and receiving the reßpect and esteem of all knowing them With the exception of the husband and father all are faithful workors for the Baptist church. When 21 years of ago Mr. Hammond came to Detroit. For two years he engaged vith his brother in the retail meat and provision business, at the expiration of which time he purchased his brother’s interest and for ten years conducted the business successfully. Li 1876 he came to Hammond and on his own tesponsibility conducted the casing and tripe departments of the Oeo. H. Hammond business. He purchased the products of the company and conducted the business at his own risk and profit. About six years ago the founder of the packing house and brother of Thos Hammond died. The family sold to the Geo. H. Hammond Co. all Geo. H Hammond’s interest in the concern, and the Mayor was selected as assistant superintendent. In this position he has been in close contact and touch with tne laborers of that great establishment, and every one of them are his friends, Hiß relations with them have never been “strained,” he always being accessible to the rich andjpoor alike. Be sides he invested quite heavily in real estate which he subdivided and sold to laborers on easy payments. For many of them he also ereoted houses on the property and sold on the most liberal terms.— These men—a d they are not few—thus obtained homes |for themselves, whereas they would otherwise be paying ront today. There nre never any complaints of pushing" or “crowding” xrom these who bought of him. He bos shown himself their friend and they appreciate it. U j^ 6 B P r ' n S °f 1888 there was a demand for a change in the management of the municipal affairs of thiscitv. Thos. Hammond was prevailed upon to become a candidate for Mayor. With all odds, except a clean record, against him, he entered the race and won by less than 40 voles. In 1890 and in 1892 he was reelected, each time by largely increased majorities, the last time by a majority of 289 votes. A brief review of some of the best work of his administration will show just cause for such mark of popular favor. Five miles of sand has been replaced by five miles of nicely paved streets.* Four miles of sewtr, draining principal, portions cf the city, has been laid. A $4,000 city hall and many minor improvements have been made, but his crowning work was the

WATEB WORKS. This city’s supply of water has been poor in quality and inadequate in quantity. On every hand came the request to grant a franchise- get water. But Mayor Hammond held out against it nil for an opportunity to get water and yet allow the city to own its own system. This.'has been done. A site was purchased at Lake Michigan, a station house erected there, fiye miles of main line and five miles of extension pipe laid, giving to the city 3.600,000 gallons per day. Giving a system of water works costinv $125,000. Giving abundant supply of Lake Michigan water to consumers. Giving fire protection far better than many cities double the size possess. All these improvements have been provided for and at the same time the ciiy’s credit advanced in the money markets of the country. Mayor Hammond is a man of considerable means—money made from careful business methods and judicious investments in real estate, of which he purchased extensively. He still deals in real estate and is president of the Commercial Bank of this city. In all affairs and at all times Mr. Hammond iB approachable to all men no matter what their condition or position in life. He is public spirited, no church or other work of public good going without a help - ing hand from him. Churches and schools are the special marks of his liberality, he believing that with proper cultivation of morals and intellect thefutu e destiny of the country v ill be in safe hands. His selection as standard bearer in the district was unsought by him, as were also all other public positions he has held.— He is not an office seeker—it being a clear case of the office saekingthe man. He is, however, an office getter when nominated’ never yet having been defeated. Honest, clean, capable, public spirited, understanding tbe needs of the common people, tbe voters of the 10th district Can safely select Thoa. Hammond to guard their interests in tbe national house of representatives. end ws believe they will

CARR, Trustee Jordan Township DEMOCRATIC RECRUITS. There has never been a time in the history of the Democratic party when so many men, who have heretofore held influential positions intbe Republican party were flocking to it. If the thing continues there will be a general stampede of Republicans to the Cleveland standard before election day. “Republican! ex-attorney generals Baldwin and Williamson have declared for Cleveland. Ex-mayor Harding, of Fort Wayne, and his son have come out for Cleveland. Andrew Purman, one of the loading attorneys of the Allen county bar, has declared for Cleveland and tariff reform. Ex-congressman J. B. White, of Fort Wayne, will also support Cleve'and. Dr. Clayton and James Turpie, of Monon, have declared for Cleveland and tariff reform. Judgo Saylor, of Huntington," week before last announced that he had left the Repnblican party. H. McCabe, of Worthington, Ind., anenounces that he can no longer support the party of high tax and force bills. NEW BECBUITS. South BendJTimes: “Frank Williams, of New Carlisle, a prominent young Republican of past years and son of form«r Republican representative. James C. m Kite was in the city yesterday and surprised his friends here by appearing with a Cleveland badge. Mr. White will cast his vote for Cleveland this fall, as will four or five other young New Carlisle Republicans." The Logansport Pharos says it has the names ot fifty Republicans in that locally who voted for Harrison four years ago who will vote for Cleveland in Novem. her, and adds: “Engineer Kirk Pierce, who returned from a visit to his old home in Massachusetts a few days ago, says that he never saw such enthusiasm as there is for Cleveland down oast. He believes that if the election were to occur tomorrow Cleveland would carry Massachusetts by 20,000 majority. He says that if a man wants to get filled with Democratic enthusiasm he should take a trip through New York and Massachusetts.”
