686
HISTORY OF CENTRAL NEW YORK
was a leader in Republican politics and no higher tribute could be paid to his ability than the fact that he was close in the con- fidences of such presidents as Mckinley and Taft. Mr. Payne died in Washington, D. C., December 11, 1914, and is buried in Auburn.
Sereno E. Payne was born at Hamilton, New York, June 26, 1843, the son of Hon. William Wallace and Betsy (Sears) Payne. The Payne family lived on a large estate near Sennett, Cayuga County, having removed there from Madison County, New York. During 1859-60 William Wallace Payne served in the Assembly as a representative of the Northern District of New York.
Sereno E. Payne attended the district schools and in 1860 was graduated from Auburn Academy. He then attended for one year Colgate Academy at Hamilton, which had been founded by a great uncle. He then attended and received the degree of Bach- elor of Arts at the University of Rochester in 1864. In later years he had conferred on him the degree of LL. D. by both Rochester and Colgate Universities. After receiving his degree from Rochester in 1864 he read law in the offices of Cox & Avery, Auburn, being admitted to the New York State bar in 1866. Dur- ing the following three years Mr. Payne remained in the offices of Cox & Avery, after which he formed a partnership with John T. M. Davie, under the firm name of Davie & Payne. In 1870 Mr. Davie became Surrogate and Mr. Payne then practiced alone until he entered Congress. Later, he was associated with John W. O'Brien. He was city clerk of Auburn during 1868-71, super- visor during 1871-72, district attorney during 1873-79, and presi- dent of the Auburn board of education during 1879-82. In 1882 Mr. Payne was elected to Congress and served in the 48th and 49th Congresses. Judge Nutting, who had been congressman to the 50th Congress, died, and Mr. Payne was selected to succeed him. He then was elected to serve in every Congress since that time and was re-elected to the 63rd Congress in November, 1914. His death occurred on December 11, 1914. The most notable work of Mr. Payne in Congress was perhaps the framing of the "Tariff Law," which had been drafted by Mr. Payne after many years of study. He served on many important committees but probably
687
HISTORY OF CENTRAL NEW YORK
the most important of all was the chairmanship of the Ways and Means Committee. He was also for some years chairman of the Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committee. In 1899 he was appointed a member of the American-British High Commission. He was twice elected chairman of the Republican State Conven- tion of New York, and was a delegate to the Republican national conventions in 1892, 1896, 1900, 1904, 1908, and 1912.
