Thomas Andrews Hendricks (1819-1885) was a U.S. representative and senator from Indiana and the 21st vice president of the United States. Hendricks served in the Indiana house of representatives and senate before winning election to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1851. He held office for two terms, and in 1855 President Franklin Pierce named him commissioner of the Department of Interior General Land Office. As a U.S. senator from 1863 to 1869, Hendricks was part of a small Democratic minority and strongly opposed Republican plans for Reconstruction. Hendricks served as governor of Indiana from 1873 to 1877, and although he was often named as a potential presidential candidate, he never secured the nomination. After an unsuccessful bid for the vice presidency in the disputed Hayes-Tilden election of 1876, Hendricks won the position as Grover Cleveland's running mate in 1884. He died after serving only eight months as vice president. Abraham Van Vechten (1762-1837) was educated at Kings College (now Columbia University) and studied law in the office of John Lansing, Jr. (later Chancellor of New York), and was admitted to the bar in October 1785, the first lawyer admitted to practice following the adoption of the State Constitution. Initially, Abraham Van Vechten established a law practice in Johnstown, New York, but he soon returned to Albany specializing in appellate practice. He frequently argued cases with and against attorneys such as Alexander Hamilton, Aaron Burr, and Samuel Jones. Van Vechten regularly appeared before the Supreme Court of Judicature and the Supreme Court of the United States. In 1796, Van Vechten was appointed District Attorney of the fifth judicial district and served as Recorder of the City of Albany from 1797 until 1808. Elected to the New York State Senate
