JOHN W ALLEN.

John W. Allen was born in Litchfield. Connecticut, in 1:02. He resided in Chenango county, New York, from 1820 to 1825, when he removed to Cleveland, where he has ever since lived. He was admitted to the bar the next year, and for several succeeding years was engaged in the active practice of his pro- fession.

In 1831 Mr. Allen was elected president of the vil- lage of Cleveland, and was re-elected each of the suc- ceeding four years. During this time a great amount of grading and entting down streets was done to facilitate access to and from the river: causing loud complaint- from many property-owners, who thought nature had already arranged the grades about right. In 1835 he was chosen to the State senate, in which he served two years. In 1836 he was elected to Con- gress. taking his seat at the extra session called in September. 1832. and in 1838 was re-elected. In 1841 he was elected mayor of the city of Cleveland.

Looking ahead to the probable necessities of the future, while in the legislature, he procured the pas- sage of an aet to incorporate the "Cleveland, Colum- bus & Cincinnati Railroad Company," but the memorable financial collapse of 1831. extending through several subsequent years, prevented action upon it. In 1846 the subject was revived, and after many struggles the company was organized, and Mr. Allen was chosen the first president.

About that time " The State Bank of Ohio" was anthorized. with branches in the principal towns of the State: five commissioners being appointed to ex- amine the applications, ascertain the means of the applicants, and determine whether the law had been complied with, Mr. Allen was selected as one of these commissioners.

Another subject on which he was long and earnestly employed was the settlement of the claims of Ohio in regard to the publie lands. At an early day Congress had granted to the State of Ohio every alternate sec- tion of the public lands for five miles in width, on each side of the line of the proposed Maumee canal. in aid of its construction. and had also granted half a million acres in aid of the Ohio eanal, on which there were no public lands. This latter land was to be selected out of any unsold public territory. In making the selections of these lands. many mistakes were made through ignorance or carelessness. and many tracts to which the State had no claim were sold the occupants of which were liable to be dis- possessed at any moment.

The State had made two or three settlements with the general government, and its officers had thrice acknowledged satisfaction in full, but Mr. Allen, believing that some of the rules on which settlement was made were gro-sly erroneous. proposed to the legislature, in the winter of 1849-50, to make a thorough examination and revision of the whole busi- ness. That body consented, and the governor, under its authority, appointed Mr. Allen as the agent to do the work. For his compensation he was to have one third of any additional lands he might obtain: the State in no event to be called on for expenses of any kind.

By getting the rules governing the former settle- ment modified or reversed. and thereby extending the scope of the grants. and by securing two acts of Congress, the last ceding to the State not only all the lands erroneously selected, but all the seattered remnants of government land in the State, Mr. Allen added one hundred and twenty thousand acres to the amount previously admitted by the govern- ment to belong to Ohto-and -ceured a perfect title to every acre of it. To accomplish this required five years of time, and involved a heavy outlay for ex- penses.

Unfortunately for Mr. Allen. during all this time the State officer> had gone on selling land, and when he had finished his work there was but little left, and that of slight value. After years of painful delay. he was compelled to take in money about one-sixth part of what his third of the land would have been worth had it been conveyed to him as agreed. This is the only case of practical repudiation with which the great State of Ohio stands chargeable, so far as now known.

In 1820 Mr. Allen was appointed post master of Cleveland, and was re-appointed in 1824, but resigned the position the following year.

Mr. Allen was married, at Warren, Ohio, to Miss Anna Maria Perkins, who died the succeeding year. In 1830 he was married, at Lyme, Connecticut. to Miss Harriet C. Mathew, who is still living.

Among the enterprising and energetic young men who lived in Cleveland in its early days. no one was more conspicuous or more serviceable in advancing the interests of the village and city than the subject of this sketch, according to the testimony of C'leve- land's oldest and most reliable inhabitants.

SHERLOCK J. ANDREWS.

This gentleman, a son of Dr. John Andrews, was born in Wallingford. New Haven county, Connecti- cut. on the 11th of November. 1801. His father was a prominent physician of Wallingford, and in later years was a resident of Cleveland. The younger An- drews pursued his preparatory studies at the Episco- pal academy at Cheshire. Connectient, and subse- qnently entered Union college at Schenectady, New York, whence he was graduated in 1821.

THE CITY OF CLEVELAND.

Subsequently he was employed as private secretary and assistant in chemistry by Professor Silliman, a relation which proved equally satisfactory to both. Professor Silliman says of him in his diary: " He was a young man of a vigorous and active mind, energetic and quick in his movements and decisions, with a warm heart and genial temper; of the best moral and social habits; a quick and skillful penman; an agree- able inmate of my family, in which we made him quite at home. *

* He continued about four * years, serving with ability and the zeal of an affection- ate son, without whom I could scarcely have retained my place in the college."

During the above engagement Mr. Andrews had studied law at the New Haven law school, and in 1825 he removed to Cleveland where, after obtaining ad- mission to the bar, he commenced the practice of his profession in company with Judge Samuel Cowles. In 1828, he married Miss Ursula Allen of Litchfield, Connecticut, daughter of John Allen, a member of congress from that State, and sister of Hon. John W. Allen, of Cleveland.

Soon after the retirement of Mr. Cowles, Mr. An- drews formed a partnership with John A. Foot, Esq., to which in 1837 Mr. James M. Hoyt, was admitted, the firm being Andrews, Foot and Hoyt, for many years among the most successful general practitioners in northern Ohio. In 1840 he was elected to repre- sent the Cleveland district in Congress and served one term, after which he was obliged, on account of im- paired health, to retire from public life and from the most active part of professional duty. He continued, however, to act as counsel and advocate in important cases until 1848, when he was elected judge of the superior court of Cleveland. In 1850 he was chosen a member of the convention to form the new consti- tution of Ohio, and rendered valuable service as a member of the committees on judiciary, revision and temperance.

The new constitution having revised the judiciary system and dispensed with the superior court, Judge Andrews resumed his legal practice. In 18:3 he was again chosen one of the members of the convention to revise the constitution of the State, having received the nominations of both the Republican and Democratic parties. His ripe experience and superior ability were here called into requisition to aid in the im- provement of the judiciary system. He was made chairman of the committee having this matter in charge, a position which he filled in the most satis- factory manner.

Judge Andrews early won great celebrity as an advo- cate, and for forty years held a place in the front rank of the bar of Ohio. In a cause in which he was satis- fied that he had justice and the law on his side, there was not an advocate in the State whose arguments

were more nearly irresistible before a jury. He was unsurpassed in the use of those weapons so effective in debate-logic, sarcasm, wit, ridicule and pathos, without ever descending to coarseness or invective. His legal opinions have ever been held in very high esteem, being distinguished for clear conceptions of the principles of law in their varied relations to prac- tical life, and evincing rare ability in judging as to the probable verdict of a jury on mixed questions of law and fact. Eminent for legal learning, he com- bined with accurate knowledge of precedents unfailing discernment of the underlying principles which in- vested them with lasting value. As a jury lawyer, Judge Andrews is permanently identified with the traditions of the bar and the history of legal practice in northern Ohio.

The older lawyers still cherish vivid recollections of many cases when he was in full practice, in which his insight into character, his power to sift testimony and bring into clear relief the lines of truth, his abili- ty to state legal principles so as to be clearly compre- hensible by the jury, his humor, his wit, his pathos, his scorn of frand, and his impetuosity in advocacy of the right, were all combined with such incisive ut- terance and such felicitous illustration as to make the deepest and most lasting impression upon all his hear- ers. By universal consent he was recognized as hav- ing few equals and no superior.

As a judge he commanded the highest respect of all. His decisions were never influenced by personal or political predelections, and were given entirely ac- cording to the merits of the case and the requirements of the law. There is but a single record of any re- versal of his decisions by a higher court, and that was owing solely to a clerical error made in the clerk's office.

In politics he took little active part. Although constantly identified with the Whig and Republican parties, his habitual conservatism prevented the ap- proval by him of any rash or extreme measures.

Judge Andrews has through his long and active life commanded the highest respect as a man, a citi- zen, and a friend. We quote the following tribute by a life-long associate to his many excellent quali- ties: " Highly as Judge Andrews has adorned his profession. it is simply just to say that his unblem- ished character in every relation has equally adorned his manhood. He has ever been more than a mere lawyer. With a keen relish for historical and philo- sophical inquiry, a wide acquaintance with literature, and an earnest sympathy with all true progress in the present age, his life has also been practically subor- dinated to the faultless morality of Christianity. A community is truly enriched when it can present to its younger members such shining instances of suc- cess in honorable endeavor, and such sterling excel- lence in character and example."

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.

WILLIAM W. ARMSTRONG.

William W. Armstrong, the editor-in-chief of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, and the president and prin- cipal stockholder of the Plain Dealer Printing Com- pany, was born at New Lisbon, Columbiana county. Ohio, in the year 1833. In 1848, at the age of fifteen, he became an apprentice in a printing office at Tillin, the county seat of Seneca county. He worked at his chosen occupation until 1852, when his activity and ability caused him, though ouly nineteen years old. to be appointed registrar of the bank department of the State treasurer's office, of which position he per- formed the duties for two years to the entire satisfac- tion of his superiors.

On retiring from the treasurer's office in 1854. young Armstrong returned to Titlin, purchased the Sencea County Advertiser, published at that place. and entered on his majority and his editorial career about the same time. The young editor being an ar- dent Democrat, the Advertiser was conducted as a Democratie organ of the strictest sect, and he being also a vigorons writer and a good business manager he soon made his paper a power in north western Ohio. His strength in his party was manifested in 1862. when, although still but twenty-nine years old, he was elected by the Democracy secretary of State of Ohio.

After he had served one term of two years the Republicans returned to power, and Mr. Armstrong was again at liberty to resume his favorite pursuit of journalism. le accordingly, in 1865, purchased the material of the lately suspended Cleveland Plain Dealer, and transferred his efforts to the metropolis of northern Ohio. Owing to the death of the la- mented J. W. Gray, and subsequent unskillful man- agement, the Plain Dealer had been brought into a very unfortunate condition, as was indicated by its suspension. It is a severe task to revive a deceased newspaper, yet Mr. Armstrong not only did that but in a few years made the Plain Dealer one of the leading newspapers of the West.

A clear, vigorous and ready writer, he naturally took a bold, aggressive course, and neither friends nor enemies ever had the slightest difficulty in knowing exactly what he meant. He showed himself on all occasions a Democrat of the old school of Jackson and Benton, unswerving in favor of State rights, home rule and hard money, and these time-honored principles he was prepared to maintain against all op- ponents.

His business management of the Plain Dealer has been as sound as his political course has been vigorous; he has raised it from the lifeless condition in which he found it, until its circulation is now second only to that of the Cincinnati Enquirer among the Demo- cratic journals of Ohio, and its finances are in the most flourishing condition. He has lately transferred it to a stock company, but of that he is the president and the direeting power.

What he is in his office he is out of it, a man of de- cided convictions and strong will, always a potent

force in the council- of his party and in the commu- nity in which he resides.

ELBERT IRVING BALDWIN.

So far as circumstances go to make men what they are, a happy combination of them is to have been born in New England of a race possessing Puritan blood and instincts: to have one's youth guided by the wisdom of pions and judicious parents; to recieve an education in the midst of those favorable influ. ences that exist in Eastern college towns; to be trained in business affairs by sturdy and capable merchants, and then to remove in early manhood to the West, where native generous impulses may be enlarged and where the most comprehensive views will find ample scope, Western cities are largely indebted for their enterprise and thrift to the presence and influence of such men, and Cleveland is especially favored in being the home of many who not only add to its importance as a commercial center, but contribute much to make it "the most beautiful city west of the Alleghanies."

In the fall of 1853 the block on the corner of Supe rior and Seneca streets was completed, the largest and most important business building then in the city. Here Messrs. E. 1. Baldwin & Co. began the dry goods business, the manager and active partner, El- bert Irving Baldwin, coming hither from New York to reside. He had spent his early life in New Haven. Connectient, where he was born in 1829, and where he received the best educational advantages until about nineteen years of age, when a more active life seemed necessary, and he commeneed his mercantila carver with Sanford and Allen, a leading dry goods house of that city. Determined to know by experi- enve every phase of the business, he "began at the be- ginning" and passed through all grades to the position of confidential clerk. Removing to New York city in order to obtain a knowledge of more extended com- mercial pursuits, he was there employed by the old firm of Tracy, Irwin & Co.
