UNION B. HUNT.

The name of the Republican cundi- . date for secretary of state, who heads » .the state ticket this year, is one to con* jure with. Union Banner Hunt was Iwrn daring the closing days of the war of the rebellion.' His antecedents were loyal to the cote, and it was in the spirit Wrf that the name ‘‘Union t Banner" was conferred upon the subject of this sketch. And right well he has justified the expectations of those - -who believed that he would worthily > bear his talismanio name! Mr. Hunt's early life was one of cheerful straggle, .and his prominence and popularity are, 4n a large measure, due to the inherent

UNION B. HUNT.

-qualities of mind and heart studiously cultivated by perseverance and industry. He began life clerking in a store, subsequently working in a factory. For several years he was editor of the Winchester Herald. In the meantime he prepared himself fpr the legal profession, and 10 years ago he was admitted to the practice of law, rapidly rising to a position of eminence at the bar. He has never held an elective office, but served four years as depaty prosecutor of the Twenty-fifth judicial circuit. In 1607 he was elected grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of Indiana, and has an extensive acquaintance among the 40,000 members of that order. In politics he has always been a Republican, and has taken active part in every campaign since he became a voter. As a campaign speaker Mr. Hunt has but few superiors, and he is thoroughly in earnest in every undertaking in which he engages. When once hvs excellent .qualities are known, it is easy to understand his great popularity. He is unaffected and cordial and, above all, is honest and sincere in his friendships, as well as in his political predilections.

ALEXANDER DOWLING.

I ” Hon. Alexander Dowling, one of the ~.i ßepublican nominees for judge of the supreme court, is everywhere admitted tb be one of the foremost jurists of Jn«tiana. His home is at New Albany, where he has long sustained the reputa* -• tion of being one of the leading members of the bar of southern Indiana,, his practice having extended over a period «f 35 years. He was born in 1839 in .. in . i . ..

ALEXANEER DOWLING.

Hillsboro, Va., and came to Indiana in 1840. He has never held nor sought a political office before. On the death of Judge Berkshire in 1891, the appointment as of the supreme court was tendered to Mr. Dowling by Governor Hovey, but he declined it. He has an exceedingly strong personality. In personal appearance he bears a striking resemblance to President William McKinley. He is a thorough student, a scholarly debater, and eminent in his profession. His moral character is above reproaoh, and in all the walks of life' he is respected and honored. Judge Dowling will bring' grace and dignity to the bench of the supreme court of Indiana, and lawyers of every shade of political opinion concede that he is a gentleman •or unimpeachable integrity aud in ayery way fitted for the high and important -office for whioh he has been nominated.

FRANCIS E. BAKER.

Francis E. Baker, Republican nominee for judge of the supreme court, is a -native Hoosier and is proud of the fact. He is the only son of Hou. John H. Baker, judge of the United States district court for Indiana He had the advantage of a thorough education, and, after graduating, studied law in his father’s office at Goshen. Since the

FRANCIS E. BAKER.

elder Baker was promoted to the United States court bench, the son has contiu- . uod the pructice of law iu his native city, where he has always beeu regarded as one of the leading practitioners of northern Indiana. He lias given much attention to literary matters, and his reading covers an nnnsually wide range. His temperament is judicial by inheritance and by training. Mr. Baker is in the early prime of life and thoroughly equipped to discharge the duties that will devolve upon him as judge of the state’s highest legal tribunal.

JOHN V. HADLEY.

Hon. John V. Hadley, Republioap I ominee for judge of the supreme court, */as reared in Hendricks oounty and is t citizen of Danville. He was born in 1841, and in 1861, when the war began, he was a student. in Butler University. He enlisted in the army and served throughout the war with distinction. He was taken prisoner, and has written an interesting book descriptive of his military experience. He was a member

JOHN V. HADLEY.

>of the state senate in the sessions of 1869 and 1871, representing Putnam and Hendricks counties. In 1888 he was elected judge of the circuit composed of Marion and Hendricks counties. Hendricks county was soon thereafter made a separate circuit, and he is now judge of the court of that county. He has a large acquaintance throughout the state, and is popular with all classes. He has the reputation of being a fair and upright judge, and his opinions have been rarely reversed by the higher courts. His integrity as a man is unquestionable, and his fitness for the supreme court bench is cheerfully conceded by men of every shade of political belief.

REPUBLICAN LABOR LEGISLATION.

The Sixtieth general assembly of Indiana, having a Republican majority in both branches, gave praccical testimony of the party’s sincere interest in the cause of workingmen by abolishing the prison contract system and taking conviot labor out of competition with free labor; by creating the office of factory inspector, providing for the better protection of the health and lives of operatives, and. in the name of humanity, prohibiting the employment of child labor. It also passed a law creating a labor commission and providing for the settlement of differences between employers and employes by rational and just methods of arbitration. The duties of these commissioners have been so industriously, courageously and impartially performed that labor and capital has shared equally in the saving of hundreds of thousands of dollars that otherwise would have been lost through unreasonable contention but for the wisdom of the Republican party in providing means for the amicable adjustment of disputes and the restoration of harmonious relations. At the same session a law was also passed, providing for the better protection and greater safety of coal miners, and, supplemental to the salutary measures herein enumerated, whioh have already resulted in incalculable benefit to the people and the good name of the state, the governor, in the midst of a most critical period of suspension of the coal mining interests, appointed a commission to visit the mining districts and report on the condition and needs of operatives and their suffering families. This was followed by an appeal by the chief executive to the people of the state for relief for the unfortunates. The response was generous. The hungry were fed, hope was again iustilled where hopelessness had prevailed, and the sturdy 'miners united in heartfelt praise of a governor who had placed himself in close touch with humanity, aud who believed there was more efficacy in the tempering power of bread than in ballets in treating with hapless, hungry men. women and childreu. It was thus demonstrated that a well directed appeal to reason, made in good faith and devoid of selfishness, is a far more potent agent of arbitration and civilization than militiamen with muskets, rashly ordered to subdue domestic discord.

AN ITEM OF BIG ECONOMY.

A comparison of what the attorney general’s office cost the state of Indiana under Democratic administrations with what was expended therefor under Republican rule, is not the least of the suggestive items of eoouomy that will be commeuded by the people iu this year’s campaign. While the Democratic party was trying to save itself from defeat four years ago for Its extravagance and bad direction of public affairs, the attorney general of that time, as did all who preceded him, was annually taking unto himself many tbonsands of dollars in fees. When the Republicans came into their own again by the will of the people, emphasized by a plurality very near the 00,000 limit, these fat fees were turned into the state treasury where they belonged. The* taxpayers can grasp the importance of thus taming the tide of fees from a public officer’s bank ncoouut to the state's money vanlt by noting this little memorandum. Auditor Daily reported that at the eud of the last fiscal year there had beeu disbursed by the attorney general’s office ouly $13,916.19. For the fiscal year of 1894 Auditor Henderson, when the state was in complete possession of the Democrats, reported that the attorney general had reoeived daring that year $37,607.79. That is, the state lost in one year, as an example of persistent Democratic extravagance, $38,691.67 that woold have been saved the state by Republican methods.
