Lawton does not resonate in households of many Hoosiers. To early twentieth century Americans, however, his nearly 38 years in the army created almost a legend, particularly after the American Civil War (1861- 1865) and the Philippine Insurrection (1899-1902). In May, 1907, in the Hoosier capital, his admirers fulfilled their desires to honor the deceased general. Henry W. Lawton, son of George W. and Catherine (Daley) Lawton, was born in Manhattan, Ohio, 17 March 1843 though he considered Fort Wayne, Indiana, his home. In 1881 he married Mary Craig who bore seven children, three of whom died in infancy. As a teenager, he attended Fort Wayne (Ind.) Methodist Episcopal College from which he withdrew to join the army after the attack on Fort Sumter (April, 1861). -
Family Records 155 Meridian Street and 26 to 36 East Georgia Street
Family Records 155 Meridian Street and 26 to 36 East Georgia Street, and with a branch office at 388 Broadway, New York City, it was the "oldest and largest Jobbing Dry Goods and Notion House in the State." In 1883 it was estimated that the firm's annual sales exceeded $1 million, perhaps as much as $120 million in current dollars.12 In addition, the firm acted as general or special sales agent for domestic textile mills in southern and western states and offered a line of work clothing—overalls, work shirts, and jeans. This line was manufactured by C. B. Cones and Son Manufacturing Company, of which Harold was vice president and John W. Murphy, treasurer. "The factory consists of a three story and basement building on North Senate avenue, 50 by 200 feet . furnishing employment to more than 400 hands and requiring ten traveling salesmen to visit the trade."13 By integrating manufacturing, sales, and distribution the partners gained a significant cost advantage over rivals. H ibben , H ollweg and Company I s F ounded In 1901, after Murphy retired and Shipp and Landers withdrew, Harold and his brother Thomas Entriken Hibben (b. October 19, 1859) along with Louis Hollweg formed Hibben, Hollweg and Company. The census of 1900 records that Ernst M. Wiles (husband of Harold's sister Louise) was employed as a salesman and that Harold's son, Harold James Hibben (b. May 3, 1881), was also employed as a salesman.14 The 1907 edition of Hyman's Handbook of Indianapolis reported that the firm had expanded to two hundred thousand square feet of office, salesrooms, warehouse, and shipping space in four buildings, some The Empire style Hibben, Hollweg and connected by bridges and tunnels.15 The logistical inefficiencies of Company warehouse on South multiple locations, combined with the advent of motorized transport, Meridian Street in Indianapolis in 1910 led to the partners' decision to build a modern storage and shipping (Bass Photo Company, #19750, IHS) facility. -
CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy. -
History of the U.S. Attorneys
Bicentennial Celebration of the United States Attorneys 1789 - 1989 "The United States Attorney is the representative not of an ordinary party to a controversy, but of a sovereignty whose obligation to govern impartially is as compelling as its obligation to govern at all; and whose interest, therefore, in a criminal prosecution is not that it shall win a case, but that justice shall be done. As such, he is in a peculiar and very definite sense the servant of the law, the twofold aim of which is that guilt shall not escape or innocence suffer. He may prosecute with earnestness and vigor– indeed, he should do so. But, while he may strike hard blows, he is not at liberty to strike foul ones. It is as much his duty to refrain from improper methods calculated to produce a wrongful conviction as it is to use every legitimate means to bring about a just one." QUOTED FROM STATEMENT OF MR. JUSTICE SUTHERLAND, BERGER V. UNITED STATES, 295 U. S. 88 (1935) Note: The information in this document was compiled from historical records maintained by the Offices of the United States Attorneys and by the Department of Justice. Every effort has been made to prepare accurate information. In some instances, this document mentions officials without the “United States Attorney” title, who nevertheless served under federal appointment to enforce the laws of the United States in federal territories prior to statehood and the creation of a federal judicial district. INTRODUCTION In this, the Bicentennial Year of the United States Constitution, the people of America find cause to celebrate the principles formulated at the inception of the nation Alexis de Tocqueville called, “The Great Experiment.” The experiment has worked, and the survival of the Constitution is proof of that. -

You announced a major road program which you say will not, in any way, raiGovernorse taxes. Mike How Pence:is that possible? Well, it’s a real testament to the strong, fiscal responsibility that Indiana’s demonstrated in recent years. Look, we have one of the strongest balance sheets in the country. We have a growing economy. We have record employment in the state of Indiana and the lowest unemployment rate in the Midwest. That’s all created an environment where, in the end of the last fiscal year, we actually ended up with near record reserves in the bank. So, as we were looking at the priorities of the coming session and the General Assembly, I knew it would be possible for us to invest in the kind of preservation of our infrastructure, of roads and bridges, across the state of Indiana. By leveraging our fiscal strength without having to raise taxes on Hoosier motorists and taxpayers.Rafael Sanchez, RTV 6: We’re talking about $1 billion. -

William Hendricks' Political Circulars to His
William Hendricks’ Political Circulars to his Constituents : Second Senatorial Term, 1831- 1837” Edited by Frederick D. Hill”” Before the end of his first term in 1831 Senator William Hendricks’ nonpartisan stance was beginning to alienate per- sons in each of the emerging political parties. Some of his opponents in Indiana and elsewhere attempted for more than a year to prevent his reelection in 1830. The Adams-Clay faction condemned him for supporting senatorial confirma- tion of President Andrew Jackson’s appointments. Jackson- ians criticized him for not being a thorough going Jacksonian in legislative matters.l Indiana political parties, however, were loose coalitions for winning elections and controlling patronage rather than organizations of persons holding unique political views. Jack- sonianism consisted of loyalty to a person more than ad- herence to a program. One might easily prefer Jackson to John Quincy Adams or Henry Clay in the White House, yet *An introduction to the political career of William Hendricks and a discussion of political circulars and their use by Hendricks and others were included in the first article in this three part series.

Indiana Law Review Volume 52 2019 Number 1 SYMPOSIUM HOOSIER BRIDESMAIDS MARGO M. LAMBERT* A. CHRISTOPHER BRYANT** Indiana proudly proclaims itself the “Crossroads of America.”1 While some northeast-corridor cynics might deride the boast as a paraphrase for flyover country, there is no denying the political significance of the Hoosier State’s geographical and cultural centrality. As one of Indiana’s most celebrated historians has observed, “[b]y the beginning of the twentieth century Indiana was often cited as the most typical of American states, perhaps because Hoosiers in this age of transition generally resisted radical change and were able usually to balance moderate change with due attention to the continuities of life and culture.”2 Throughout the Gilded Age, elections in the state were so closely fought that the winning party rarely claimed more than slimmest majority.3 At the time, Indiana tended to favor Republicans over Democrats, but the races were close with Democrats claiming their share of victories.4 During these years, voter turnout remained high in presidential elections, with Indiana ranging from the eightieth to the ninetieth percentiles, no doubt a product of the closeness of the contests. Such voter turnout substantially exceeded that typical of surrounding states.5 Hoosiers liked to politick. The state’s high voter participation may also have been, in some part, attributable to its relaxed voting laws for adult males during the nineteenth * Associate Professor of History, University of Cincinnati Blue Ash College. ** Rufus King Professor of Constitutional Law, University of Cincinnati College of Law.
