Martin Welker, since promoted to the bench in his State, came from the Wooster District.

One of the Cincinnati districts was represented by Benjamin Eggleston, a man of great force and energy; and the other, by a modest man, without experience in legislation, but who had been a good and true soldier in the war for the Union and was highly esteemed by his neighbors.

He did not take an active part in Congress, but was destined to a prominence of which he little dreamed--Rutherford B.Hayes.
The Indiana delegation was strengthened on the Democratic side by the return of William E.Niblack, who had made a good record in the Thirty-seventh Congress, and by the entrance of Michael C.Kerr, who served for a long period and ultimately became Speaker of the House.
Messrs.

Julian, Orth, and Dumont were again elected.

The last-named had made a reputation in the preceding Congress as a keen and able man.
