bitions, strict integrity and wfllingness to pay the cost of success, Avas sure to rise to eminence, and they did everything they could to help him.
In the fall of 1861 Mr. Salomon was elected lieutenant governor of Wisconsin, and when he afterward succeeded Governor Harvey as chief executive of that state, Mr. W^allberwas called to act as his chief clerk during his official term at Madison.
In 1864 Mr. Wallber passed an examination in open court and was admitted to practice in both the state and federal courts, and during the same year Avas appointed assistant attorney general of Wisconsin. At the end of two years' faithful service he returned to Milwaukee and established himself in his profession, and soon gained a repu¬ tation as an able and trustworthy lawyer. In 1873 he was elected city attorney of Milwaukee, and re-elected successively until he declined further nomination in 1878. During the next ten years he served as court commissioner.
