MONTGOMERY Has aFirstClass STOCK. ft Hi JUDGE WALTER Q. CRESHAMIOF ILLINOIS. E3 iHfe. Walter Qninton Gresham was born in Harrison county, Indiana, in 1632. Ho is the son of Colonel William Gresham, who was the oldest son of George Gresham, a nath e ot Virginia, and one of the original settlers of Indiana. Tho family was n noted one. Methodist in religion, Whig and afterwards Republican in politics, they were famed for intelligence, morali ty and courage. Tho father of Judge Gresham was billed while in performance of his duty as high sheriff of Harrison county. His oldest brother was an officer in the Mexican war and afterwards a colonel in the Union nrmy during tho war of the rebellion. Judge Gresham himself was noted as a boy for his mod esty and superior intelligence. He at tended the district schools nntil ho was sixteen, when he entered tho office of the county auditor and earned money enough to pay for two years tuition at the semin ary or high school of tho county, nnd one year in the Bloomington University. He then became deputy clerk of the Har rison county clerk's office, and passed his leisure time in reading law under the instruction of Judge William A. Porter. Tho latter took n great interest in him and drilled him very thoroughly in the preparatory studies so that when at the end of his three years' labor of work by day and study by night, 'Walter Gresham applied for and was admitted to the bar. he was one of the best drilled young law yers in the state. Ho was admitted to the bar in 1854 and immediately entered into partnership with Thomas Slaughter, then an eminent lawyer, and afterwards judge of the circuit court. He plunged into politics at once as was then the cus tom with young lawyers in Indiana, nnd as his family had been Whig, and his own convictions of the same order he be came a member of the Republican party then being formed by a union of the old Whigs with the Free Soil Democrats. In 185C Gresham stumped Harrison county on behalf of Fremont nnd made a high reputation as a political statistician, a logical debater and eloquent orator. Harrison county had long been noted for the large number of its Democratic vot ers, but the eloquence pnd ability of young Gresham made it the banner county of Indiana Republicanism on the Ohio river, though Buchanan carried it by a decided plurality. After the cam paign he engaged earnestly in his pro- tession, ana soon gained a nigu reputa tion as a careful and hard working law yer. He was equally successful in his addresses to juries and his arguments before judges. His style of oratory was almost entirely argumentative, addressed to the reason and not to the feelings. While he could always interest ins hearers, both in the court and on the stump, he did so more by the clearness of his statements and the exactness of his language than by any indulgence in anecdotes or figures of speech. If he can be said to have a model at all it will bo found in the de cisions of Chief Justice Marshall, whose luminous reasoning has always been oommended to tho study of lawyers, young and old. In 1853 Mr. Gresham married Miss Matil da McGrain, the daughter of Thomas McGrain, a man of Scotch-Irish descent, long a resident of Harrison county. A son and daughter have been born to them. Meantime 18C0 had come and the country was sweeping on towards great events. The death-grapple with slavery was at hand, and the Republican party, rising like a youthful giant, was preparing for the encounter. The most careful organi zation of the party was made throughout Indiana, and tho word was passed around through every county, even the Demo cratic strongholds, whero victory seemed hopeless, to nominate tho best men for the legislature. In Harrison county Mr. Gresham was selected as the Republican legislative candidate, with a steady, re liable worlring Democratic majority of over 500 against him. But ho entered upon the campaign with a spirit, chal- iciiKcu ui upijuueufa lu u juuu uiscussion, and drove him in discomnturo fromithe Elatform before his appointments were alf filled. Following up his advantage he canvassed every school district in the county, with the result that be scored a complete victory and was elected by u good majority. As a member of tho legislature he was chairman of the committee on military affairs, and as such brought forward and had passed a militia bill which placed Indiana almost on a war footing. He was a valuable coadjutor to Governor Morton, and was recognized as such by the great war governor, who leaned upon him and gave him his confidence. Mr. Gresham was thoroughly convinced that war with the South was inevitable and felt tho importance of makin" everv preparation for it. And yet, while doing mis anu putting tne stato in tnorongh accord with Mr. Lincoln's administra tion, he at the same timo felt that Indi ana should not bo put in tho attitude of spurning any proposals made m cood faith looking to a peaceablo adjustment of tho differences between tho North and South. To that end ho aided in procur ing tho assent of tho Indiana legislature to the iiroDOsal of tho leois aturo of Vir. ginia for n conference of representatives ot tho border states at Washington. Indian? sent her representative men to that conference, tho labors of which shortly afterwards wero blown into spaco by tho guns which opened against Sam tor. That, however, Aid not make tho measure an impolitic one. Its wisdom became apparent afterwards in its effect upon membera of the Democratic party in Ohio and Southern Indiana, who much more willingly declared themselves for tho Union when they saw every means of peaceablo adjustment exhausted. THE CIVIL "WAR. Tho inauguration of Mr. Lincoln fol lowed aud tho civil war burst upon tho country, it nau been expected lv all thoughtful minds and the leaders of the Republican party had done all they could iu the way of preparing to defend the ciuntry irom mo assaults ot us enemies. L'hough so young a man Walter Gresham by this time was looked upon as a leader, safe, judicious and strong, giving promise of being in the not distant future one of tho most valued of tho Nation's council lors. His previous success as a lawyer and politician led many to think that his especial place was in the councils of the country, but tho military instincts of his family led him at once to the camp. He was well versed in tho tactics and in military affairs, and for eoino time had been captain of a local company in Corydon, the county seat of Harrison county. Upon tho expiration of his leg islative, duties he was commissioned by Governor Morton that astute judge of men a lieutenant-colonel of tho 33th Indiana, but before it got into active service he was appointed colonel of the 53d Indiana, receiving ins commission m December, 18G1. He ioincd Grant at Savannah, Tennes see, and was assigned toVcatch's brigado in Hurlbut's division. While stationed at Savannah ho attracted tho attention both of Grant and General Rawlins, Grant's chief of staff, who wero much imprcssod with his abilities. Ho par ticimted. After Shiloh. in Grant's cam paigns and after tho fall of Yicksburg was commissioned brigadier-general and placed in charge of tho Natchez district, with his headquarters at Natchez. The wonderful executivo abilities ho displayed here, tho unusual acumen ho exhibited in chocking nnd doing away with all kinds of fraud, and the judicious manner in which he governed tho district attracted the notice nnd commanded tho admira tion of friend and foo nlike, and marked him as ono of tho leading minds of the war. Hero ho proved in n thousand in stances his incorruptible integrity. Had he been so disposed he jcould have become ton times a millionaire by listening to tho ilnvirns cmnloved to temnt him bv tho thousands of speculators who flocked to tho army tlierc. uut uresuam was in corruptible. He was a monument of in tegrity, as deaf to tho seductions of cu pidity" as Iphicrates was to tho fascina tions of Lais, and soon became regarded as ono whom it would bo unsafe to ap nroach in nnv but tho most strictly hon- orablo way. Ho was too keen and able to be deceived- too pure and honest to bo corrupted. His administration of affairs at this point is a lasting monument of glory to his honor and his purity. In the spring of 18GI ho was placed in command of a division of tho 17th corps of the Army of tho Tennessee and par ticipated in all tho terriblo labor of that gallant army up to tho 20th of July, 1804, at the battle of Leggcxt's Hill, whero ho was severely wounded and had to be sent home. He was in bed for a year, but, finally, careful nursing saved him and his wound healed, though he is still slightly lame. AFTER THE VA15. After the war General Gresham re sumed tho practice of his profession with marked success. The Republican party, however, claimed his services and he was pitted against Michael C. Kerr for Congress- Kerr was the most popular Demo crat that ever lived in Indiana, and a re markably able and pure man. Neverthe less, Gresham came so near defeating him that the Democratio legislature next year added two heavy Democratic coun ties to Kerr's district, In 18C8 ho again contested the suffrages of the district with Kerr and his popularity was so great that the political wisdom of the Demo crats in the legislature was amply justi fied. In the same year General Gresham was appointed financial agent of the state. In 18C9 President Grant offered General Gresham tho collectorship of New Orleans, which be declined. Next the President offered him the district at tornevbhin of Indiana, which he also de clined. In Decemberof 18C0 Grant offered tho United States district indgship of Indiana, which was accepted, and his ju dicial career commenced. He held this position until April, 1883, and it is safe to say that no judge ever commanded the respect of the country more warmly than did Judge Gresham. His position was a very prdnous ouo'bat every decision was hailed with satisfaction and accepted with scarcely a murmur. In 1883 he was tendered and accepted the position of postmaster-general from which in 1884 he was promoted to tho Treasury. In October of that year President Arthur tendered him tho placo of United states Circuit Jndgo in lieu of Judge Drum raond resigned, nnd it was accepted. That 'position is now held by Judge Gresham. During his career on tho bench Judge Gresham has heard and decided many noteworthy cases, many of his decisions illnslrating inn remarkablo degree his fearlessness, impartiality, nnd judicial firmness. It ought perhaps to be no commendation to one in such an exalted position that he possesses the attributes of a just Judge, but there are daily bo many exhibitions of moral cowardice and partiality, and even worse, on the bench that a more than ordinary degree of courage and integrity necessarily attracts attention. As a jurist Jndge Gresham is distin guished for tho directness and accuracy of his perceptions, the absolute fairness of his rulings, and his utter unconscious ness of the standing, character, or wealth of turtles or counsel. TUB WABASH CAM-.. Tho most famous of the cases coming before him was that known as the "Wa bash Case." Jay Gould had got posses session of sixty-eight different railroads, running thronght Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa and Michigan. Ho con solidated theiu in one "system." This system had a consolidated capital of .7),lHi0,(HiO and a bonded indebtedness of SSO.OOU.COO. Ho placed nn additional debt of $50,000,000 on it, watered its stock to tho amount of 50.000,000, forced it into bankruptcy and so manipulated tho receivers that practically the earnings of tho system were turned over to him. Tho enso was brought before Judge Gresham and his decision on that sub ject is the most masterly known in rail road jurisprudence. Ho broko up the system of plundering enjoyed by Jay Gould and had justice done the bona fide stockholders. Thonceforward Judge Gresham's name was world-wide prop erty. Ho was applauded bv- two conti nents and oven Jay Gould himself paid unwilling tribute in tho acknowledgment of his ability, his fairness, nnd his sense of justice. "There Is no Cure but Slarriage"!
