biography
John Parker Hale was an American legislator and diplomat, born on March 31, 1806 in Rochester, New Hampshire. From 1843 to 1845 he served as a member of Congress from New Hampshire and between 1847 and 1853 and 1855 to 1865 he sat in the United States Senate.

In 1848, the Liberty Party had nominated Hale, and the bolting Barnburners and their sympathizers and many "Conscience Whigs" joined together to send delegates to a convention held in a big tent in Buffalo in August.

In the next election of 1852, the Free Soil Party nominated John P. Hale for President and George W. Julian of Indiana for vice-president, and ended up with five percent of the popular vote. However, during the Civil War, he supported the Lincoln administration. During the race between McKinley and Bryan, Hale as a Senator found Bryan’s silver views and his reputation for instability justification as a vote for McKinley.
