Cleveland, past and present; its representative men: . h for the city and individuals, and in such matters it maybe safely said, there are few men living in whom more implicit confi-dence is reposed. The extent of his varied legal practice can only be judged of inpart, by his appearance in court. His business out of court hasconstituted by far the largest and most important part of his practice,and has always been done with a view to saving his client fromlitigation in future, so far as possible, and this he ha:5 accomplished. In pecuniary matters Mr. Backus has been successful, not only asthe fruits of arduous professional labors, but in other respects.
