   From an authorized sketch in the United States Biographical Dictionary the following is condensed: E.L. Browne was born at Granville, Washington county, N.Y., June 27, 1830. He worked on his father's farm and attended school until he was fifteen years of age, when he removed with his father to Wisconsin, settling on a farm in Milwaukee county. After the first year there Mr. Browne spent much of his time at the select school of Amasa Buck, Milwaukee. Com- mencing to read law at nineteen years of age, he was admitted to the bar at Fond du Lac in 1851, practicing first at Dubuque, Iowa, and afterwards spending a year in Milwaukee. In November, 1852, he settled at Waupaca. He was state senator from this district for two terms, in 1861-62 and in 1867-68. Though a new member in 1861, he took an active part in all matters in which this was interested in pertaining to the war, no man in the senate showing more patriotic enthusiasm in that regard. He was on the judiciary committee during the four sessions, being its chairman in 1868. He was defeated for congress in 1862, because 3,000 republicans from his district were in the army. He was a delegate to the republican national convention in 1868, Mr. Browne is a Royal Arch Mason, and has been Master of Waupaca Lodge No. 123, F. and A.M. In the campaign now progressing, Mr. Browne was a candidate for the con-gressional nomination in the Ninth district. He received the support of the county delegation, but was defeated in the convention. The fol-lowing editorial reference to Ninth district politics, made by the Mil-waukee Sentinel some weeks before the convention, is just as true now as then, if not so timely: "If the district wants a representative who can take rank among the men who really do the work of legislation, who will be heard in the committees and on the floor of the house, it probably could not do better than to elect Mr. Browne." But the district has chosen a continuance of "silent member" representation. In the late republican state convention, Mr. Browne made the speech nominating W.D. Hoard, the successful candidate for the gubernatorial nomination.
