Upon his appointment to the Bench he resigned his position onthe Railroads, with the intention of devoting his whole time to theduties of his judicial office. For more than two years he haspresided with entire satisfaction to the public and the members ofthe Cleveland Bar, proving himself to a strong, capable, common-sense, business judge; and by his lialdtual courteous demeanor hasmade a host of legal and other friends during his short residence inthis city.

In a \vork professing to deal with the representative men ofClevehind, it is eminently proper that he who has represented theinterests of Clevehind in Congress for six years with a fidelityunsurpassed by any of his predecessors in the national councils, andwho won for the district he represented a prominence hitherto notaccorded to it, should find a conspicuous place. The six years-service of Judge Spalding in Congress as the Representative fromthe Eighteenth Ohio District forms a period in the history of the cityof which the citizens, irrespective of party predilections, have reasonto be proud. Rufus Paine Spalding is a native of Massachusetts, having beenborn on the 3rd of May, 1T9S, at West Tisbury, on the island ofMarthas Vineyard. The remote ancestor of the Spaldings wasEdward Spalding, who is recorded as having been made a Freemanat Braintree, Massachusetts, in 1640.
