PORTAIT OF THOMAS W. TIPTON:
The Following Biography is from the "Andreas' History of the State of Nebraska"
Ex-United States Senator, Thomas W. Tipton, Brownville, Born August 5, 1817, near Cadiz, Ohio.
He was a student in Allegheny College, Meadville Penn., and graduated from Madison College, Pennsylvania, in 1840. In 1849, he was appointed to a position in the United States Land Office, which he resigned in 1852, in order to take the stump for Gen. Scott. the Whig candidate for the Presidency. Few men, if any, in the United States have taken part in so many Presidential campaigns as Mr. Tipton. His most effective speeches were delivered in behalf of Clay, Taylor, Scott, Fremont, Lincoln, Grant, Greeley, Tilden and Hancock.
Having been admitted to the bar in 1844, he resumed the practice of law at McConnellsville, Ohio, in 1853. In 1856, he received authority to preach in the Methodist Episcopal Church, but, preferring the democracy of Congregationalism to the Methodist Episcopacy, changed his church relation. At Brownville, Neb., he served a small Congregational Church organization for one year prior to 1860, and was elected Chaplain of the First Nebraska Infantry, in July, 1861, in which capacity he served till the end of the war.
In 1845, he was a member of the Legislature of Ohio; in 1859, was elected to a constitutional convention in Nebraska, and in 1860 was a member of the Territorial Senate. In July, 1865, he was appointed Assessor of Internal Revenue for Nebraska, on the same day on which he was mustered out of the United States service.
He entered Congress on the 4th of March, 1867, drawing a term as United States Senator. His competitor for this position was Hon. I. Sterling Norton, one of the best and ablest Democrats Nebraska ever produced. In 1869, Senator Tipton was re-elected for a full term of six years, and served it out with profit to his State, and honor to himself. The Senator has a way of expressing his convictions in a manner so earnest, a logic so forcible, and withal so sensible, as to win him a national reputation for stern and uncompromising adherence to his principles. No act of his has done more to convince the country of this than his espousal of the cause of Horace Greeley for President in 1872. A United States Senator, member of the dominant political party, then in overwhelming majority in the nation and his adopted State, yet, for ideas of right, justice and political honor, he repudiated the dictum of its leaders, and gives the new movement the most earnest and unselfish support ever granted by a politician, to a cause, manifestly hopeless from the outset.
Since the defeat and death of the great statesman, whose name was to his party as the white plume of Henry of Navarre to his lancers, Senator Tipton has done noble work for the Democratic party. His efforts on the stump In Indiana and New York during the Tilden and Hendricks campaign of 1876; bringing him still into greater prominence in the eyes of the nation. Nominated by his party, in 1880, as a candidate for Governor in Nebraska, he said in reply to an interrogatory, as the reason of his acceptance of the nomination, " I did it in order to try and keep the Republican majority down to 25,000."
The Senator's family consists of his wife, whose maiden name was Rachel Irwin Moore, of Pennsylvania. Their sons, Thomas Corwin, married to an English wife, in England; William M., married to a Spanish wife, in Santa Fé, New Mexico; and Perry, now of Socorro, New Mexico; and his grand-daughter, Alice Atkinson, only child of his daughter, Kate Tipton, who was the wife of Gen. Henry M. Atkinson, of Santa Fé, New Mexico.
Mother: Rachel Irwin Moore
