MISCELLANEOUS.
CHARLES B. FARWELL.
A possible candidate for Mayor on the Republican ticket in 1887 is the Hon. Charles B. Farwell. He was born near Painted Post, Steuben county, N. Y., on July 1, 1823. In 1838 he went with his father to a farm in Ogle county. He came to Chicago in 1844 and became Deputy Clerk with George Davis, Clerk of Cook county. At the same time he worked for Briggs & Green, auctioneers for a salary of twenty-five cents a night. His first exper- ience in politics was in 1853 when he was elected by a large majority County Clerk against Dr. E. J. Kimberly. He was reelected in 1857. In 1864 he purchased an interest in the house of John V. Farwell & Co. In 1867 he was made Chairman of the Board of County Supervisors, and during his term the new part of the court house on Clark street was erected. In 1870 he was elected to congress against Hon. John Wentworth. In 1872 and 1874 he vanquished John V. LeMoyne and in 1880 was elected against Perry H. Smith, Jr., by a large majority. He was appoined by Governor Oglesby in 1866 a member of the first state board for the equalization of taxes. He was very prominently identified with the success of the Washington street tunnel. Mr. Farwell is a great power commercially as well as politically.
FREDERICK S. WINSTON.
Frederick S. Winston, son of our minister to Persia, may be regarded as a native of Chicago although he first saw the light in Kentucky. While Mr. and Mrs. Winston

were visiting friends in Franklin county, Kentucky, in October, 1856, the subject of this sketch was born. The same year he was brought to Chicago. Consequently, although a young man, being now only in his twenty- ninth year, he might be classed among Chicago's " old settlers." At an early age he entered Yale college from which institution he graduated with high honors in 1877. Two years later he was admitted to the bar, and he imme- diately entered upon the practice of his profession, form- ing a partnership with Chester M. Dawes under the firm name of Winston & Dawes. In 1881 Mayor Harrison rec- ognizing the ability of Mr. Winston, and believing that his legal ability would be valuable to the city appointed him Assistant Corporation Counsel. In this office he dis- played such ability in conducting the legal affairs of the city that on the retirement of Corporation Counsel, Adams, in 1883, his eminent fitness for the position was so recognized by the bar and by Mayor Harrison that he was appointed without opposition. He is the youngest man that has held this important office in this city and perhaps in any other. Just before he succeeded Corporation Counsel Adams, he " won his spurs," as Mayor Harrison phrased it, by successfully arguing before the State Su- preme Court the validity of the $103 saloon licenses. Since that time Mr. Winston has frequently and with credit to himself appeared in the Supreme Court in impor- tant cases in which the city was interested. Among the most notable of the decisions of the Supreme Court, made on the argument of Mr. Winston, were the rights of the city to obtain revenue from licensing various occupa- tions such as distilleries, livery stables, brokers, etc .; the . constitutionality of the Harper high license law; the un- constitutionality of exemptions claimed from special assess- ments, for which he was thanked by the City Council, and the power of the Mayor to veto items or part of an item in
