Mr Fetterolf was Senatorial delegate to the State Republican convention in 1886. In 1890 he was nominated for register of wills of Montgomery county, but failed of election by seventy-seven majority in a year when the Democrats elected their county ticket by majorities considerably greater than that which defeated Mr. Fetterolf. He was appointed deputy clerk of the courts of Montgomery county in 1891, which position he filled with credit to himself and very acceptable to the public. Iu this capacity he was employed until he resigned to accept his present office.
In 1892 Mr. Fetterolf was unanimously elected chairman of the Republican County Committee of Montgomery county, and conducted the campaign of that year so successfully as to elect the entire ticket with a single exception. In this position he developed great executive ability and demonstrated that Montgomery county needed thorough organization in order to be carried by either party. He was re-elected to this position for the present year.
Mr. Fetterolf has been secretary of the Perkiomen Valley Mutual Fire Insurance Company since July, 1889, one of the largest and best mutual insurance compan- ies of the country, and has also been secretary of the Perkiomen Valley Building and Loan Association, and was for several years a director in the National Bank of Schwenksville.

FREDERICK WILHELM FLEITZ, of Scranton, journal clerk of the House of Representatives, was born in Tioga county, March 1, 1866. He ob- tained his education in the public schools and at the Mansfield State Nor- mal School. He taught his first term of school in 1880. Four years afterward he went to California, and was for some time principal of the Yreka High school, which position he filled with much credit and ability. Subsequently he was engaged in gold mining and the real estate business. He also engaged in silver mining in Chihanahua, Mexico, for some time.
Mr. Fleitz returned east a number of years ago and was registered as a law student in 1887 in the office of Hon. H. B. Packer, of Wellsboro, l'a. He was LEVYTYPE CO. PHILA admitted to the bar in 1889, and has since been actively engaged in the practice of his profession. He is a wise coun- sellor and able and forcible pleader, and enjoys a lucrative practice. During the session of 1891 Mr. Fleitz was transcribing clerk of the House of Representatives. So well did he do his work that at the organization of the present session he was made journal clerk, a position he is well qualified to fill. He is at all times cour- teons and obliging. This has made him many friends who stand ready at any time to do him a favor. In 1891 he removed to Scranton, Lackawanna county, where lie now resides. He takes an active part in politics and is one of the Re- publican leaders in his county.

H ENRY HUHN, Speaker Thompson's clerk, was born in Philadelphia July 3, 1832. He was educated in pri- vate and public schools of that city and is a graduate and alumnus of the Central High school. He learned the trade of printing in the establishment of Mears &. Dusenberry, in Philadelphia, but health failing, by the advice of his physician, he removed to Schuylkill county, where he became chief clerk and paymaster of the Little Schuylkill Navigation Railroad and Coal Company. He studied law with the Hon. James Ryan, who was afterwards elected pres- ident judge of the courts of Schuylkill county, and built the Edgeworth Powder works in that county, now owned by the Duponts, and engaged in coal business for a number of years. He was nominated and elected from Schuylkill county to the House of Representatives of Pennsylvania in October, 1860, and was a member of that body at the breaking out of the war in 1861-62, and was active in all measures for placing Pennsylvania on a war footing. He removed to Philadelphia in 1867, and was elected to represent the Fifteenth ward in the common council of Philadelphia in 1868 for two years and was re-elected by the same constituency for the succeeding term of 1871 and 1872. He was elected president of common council in 1871 and unanimously re-elected president for 1872. Upon the adoption of the new constitution, he was elected by the same constituency to the House of Representatives for 1875-76, and was re-elected by a largely increased majority to serve in 1877-78. He served as Speaker pro. tem. of the House, chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means, and a member of the Committee on Appropriations and other leading committees. Subsequently he occupied the position of reading clerk, Speaker's clerk, and chief clerk of the House and is now recognized as one of the leading parliamentarians in the state. His decisions on questions of parliamentary procedure are sought for by pre- siding officers all over the country. While president of common council he served as a director of Girard College, member of the Board of Trusts, Commissioner of Fairmount Park, and Public Buildings and ex-officio member of all of the com- mittees of common councils, in all of which he commanded the respect and esteem of his fellow-citizens of all shades of political opinion.
