On the trial he was assigned in the first instance as one of those who should discuss the question of jurisdiction, and afterwards. in conse juence of the illness of Mr. Lapham, was suddenly called upon to argue the facts. His earnest prosecution of the case attracted great attention at the time, and secured for him the reputation of a man of high ability and culture. Mr. Jenks also served on the Louisiana Investigating Committee. After the passage of the Electoral Commission bill, Mr. Jenks was appointed, with David Dudley Field and J. Randolph Tucker, one of the managers, on the part of the Democracy of the House, of the Presidential contest. Before the Com mission he assisted in the preparation of the evidence in each case, and in both the Louisiana and Oregon cases, and he made one of the opening arguments. In 1576 he was defeated for re-election by General Harry White, the vote standing 15,136 for White to 13,397 for Jenks, a majority of 2,739 for White. At the close of his short but unusually brilliant Congressional career, Mr. Jenks resumed the practice of the law. In 1878 Mr. Jenks entered the field as a candidate for the Democratic nomi. nation for Governor, but received only fourteen votes in the ( onvention, which finally nominated ex State Senator Andrew H. Dill on the third ballot. In 1830, he was placed on the State ticket for Judge of the Supreme Court by a vote of nearly two to one, but was defeated at the election by Hon. Henry Green, the Republican candidate In June, 1885, Mr, Jenks was appointed by Cleveland an Assistant Secretary of the Interior, and held that position until May, 1586, when he resign ed to become the confidential adviser and counsel of John E. Dubois, the young millionaire lumberman who had just succeeded to his uncle's immense estate and business interests. Mr, Jenks based his resignation on a promise he had given years before to the elder Dubois ; but it was generally believed that he was cager to retire from the office because he could not get along with Land Commissioner Sparks. Mr Jenks had reversed a number of Mr, Sparks’ decisions, and matters came to such a pass that the Interior Department was not large enough to hold both of them. Mr. Jenks, however, was not permitted by President Cleveland to remain long in retirement, for on July 28 of the same year he was appointed Solicitor-General, and discharged the duties of that importaut legal position until the close of the first Cleveland Administration. He was peculiarly qualified for the position by his intimate acquaintance with the Pacific Railroad and Bell Telephone questions, upon botk of which he was soon called upon to act on behalf of the Government He was also frequently called upon to act as Attorney-General in the absence of Mr. Garladd, whose superior he unquestionably was as a lawyer, When the Gov. ernment’s suit against the Bell Telephone Company was dismissed in Boston in September, 1887, Mr. Jenks did not hesitate to declare that the opinion of the Court was not “good law,’’ and promptly carried the case on appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States. On the accession of the Harrison Administration to office, Mr, Miller, the new Attorney-General, requested Mr, Jenks to remain in his position as Solicitor-General until the end ofthe pending term of the Supreme Court, in order that be might conduct the telephone cases before the tribunal. His resignation of the Solicitor-Generalship was finally accepted on May 15, 1889, but he was, still re. tained by Attorney-General Miller as one of the ment counsel in these cases, Since Mr. Jenks’ retirement from the Solicitor-Generalship he has not taken a prominent part in public affairs. In February, 1893, when Mr, Cleveland way en. gaged in making up the Cabinet for his second Administration, it was reported that he had tendered the Attorney Generalshipto Mr. Jenks, but this report proved unfounded, and the place went to Richard Olney, of Massachusetts, who subse. quently became Mr. Clevelard’s Secretary of State, Mr. Jenks has meantime continued in the active practice of his profession, which it is believed brings him in a steady income of at least $20,000 a year, and in looking after the numerous and important ‘syestments which he has been able to make his savings. He has taken no noticeable part in recent political cam either State or na. tional, his only public appearance being on the stump own county, where he has occasionally addressed his immediate neighbors. Although he did not active. ly advocate the election of Bryan in 156, it is generally understood that the Chi. cago piatform, especially the silver plank, received his hearty endorsement, and andite 11 * organ President Continued on page 4.
