Career

Wade Hampton Ellis was born and raised in Kenton County about a year after the Civil War ended . Nothing more is known about his childhood. He attended public schools in Covington. He then went to Hughes High School and the Chickering Institute in Cincinnati, Ohio. He studied law at Washington and Lee University in Lexington ( Virginia ). In 1894 he became editor of the Cincinnati Tribune, which in 1896 became the Commercial Tribune . He also married Dessie Corwin Chase of Cincinnati in 1894. Ellis resumed his practice in 1897. That same year, 1897, he was appointed First Assistant Corporation Council of the City of Cincinnati - a post he held until 1903. Then he worked as a lawyer again. In the summer of 1903, the Republican Party nominated him for the office of Attorney General of Ohio. He won the election in the fall of 1903. He was re-elected in 1905. The elections were then postponed to even-numbered years. Thus the next scheduled election took place in 1908. Ellis did not run for office again and resigned in November 1908. The Republican Ulysses G. Denman was then appointed in advance to the new Attorney General of Ohio, since his term should begin in early January 1909 as the new Attorney General. The Governor of Ohio Andrew L. Harris called 1906 a tax Commission for investigation of tax laws in the state and Ellis presided there. On November 6, 1908, Ellis was appointed United States Assistant Attorney General - a position he held until his resignation in February 1910. He then practiced law in Washington, DC for a few years, at least until 1930 when he tried a case in the United States Supreme Court .
