The Lieutenant-Governor. advocated the reclassification of the various postal employes, under which all railway postal clerks and letter-carriers are now working. He took a firm stand against the employment of convict labor on government contracts, and was the author of a bill to require all prison-made goods, of whatever character, to be stamped, so as to show where and in what prison they were manufactured. While Judge Caldwell was serving his third term in Congress he was unanimously elected Chairman of the Congressional Campaign Committee. When it became necessary to Republican success in Cincinnati that the party select as its candidate for mayor the strongest possible man before the people, Judge Caldwell was nominated to head the municipal ticket, and he patriotically put aside his congressional career, and was elected mayor of Cincinnati. The Washington correspondent of the Ohio State Journal, writing of the Lieutenant-Governor, says, "He should have remained in Congress where he was establishing a career of usefulness and ability." The office of Lieutenant-Governor was created by the second Constitution of Ohio (1851) by which he is made the President of the Senate, (at the nominal salary of $800 per annum) with power to vote in that body only in the event of a tie. In case of the death, resignation, or disability of the Governor, he becomes his successor for the remainder of their mutual term, or until his successor is elected and qualified. F REDERICK N. SINKS, Private Secretary to Governor Nash, was born in Columbus, August 24th, 1872. His early education was obtained at the public schools of that city.

The Private Secretary to the Governor. PRIVATE SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNOR. The duties of the private secretary to the Governor are, as the name implies, of a personal rather than a public character. The official compensation of $800.00 per annum is but a partial compensation for the importance of the position. The following list of private secretaries is apparently incomplete, as no sufficient record exists prior to 1867 of the gentlemen who acted in this capacity. THE ADJUTANT-GENERAL. HE department of the Adjutant-General is, as its name implies, the headquarters of the National Guard of Ohio, of which the Governor is ex-officio Commander-in-Chief. Under the law, the Adjutant-General is appointed by the Governor for a term of two years, ranks as Brigadier-General, and is, by virtue of his office, the InspectorGeneral and Chief of Staff. He is Superintendent of the State Capitol building and grounds, under a comparatively recent law by which the office of Superintendent was abolished and merged into the office of the Adjutant-General. In time of peace, the Adjutant-General also performs the duties of the Quartermaster-General, unless otherwise ordered by the Commander-in-Chief. ROSTER OF THE DEPARTMENT, 1901.
