Charles Franklin Warwick (February 14, 1852 – April 4, 1913) was an American author, lawyer, and Republican politician who served as mayor of Philadelphia from 1895 to 1899. ==Early life and career== Warwick was born in Philadelphia in 1852 to Edward Warwick, a merchant, and his wife, Anne Minshall Warwick. His father was a native of Philadelphia, while his mother was an immigrant from the United Kingdom. Warwick was educated at the Zane Street Grammar School in Philadelphia, and was admitted to Central High School, although he did not attend. Instead, Warwick took a job as a bookkeeper to help support his family. While doing so, he studied the law, working as an apprentice in the office of E. Spencer Miller, a local lawyer. He later attended classes at the University of Pennsylvania Law School. Admitted to the bar in 1873, Warwick soon found a position in the city solicitor's office. That same year, he married Ella Kate Griesemer. The two would have six children: two girls and four boys. He was interested in politics from an early age, and gave speeches on behalf of John F. Hartranft in his campaign for governor of Pennsylvania in 1876. After the election, Warwick opened his own law office and practiced for several years until George Scott Graham, newly elected District Attorney of Philadelphia, hired him in 1880. During James G. Blaine's campaign for the Presidency in 1884, Warwick gave speeches in his favor in Indiana and Ohio. That same year, Warwick was elected City Solicitor by a 14,000-vote margin, running ahead of the ticket. Three years later, he was reelected by a 48,000-vote majority. As City Solicitor, much of his work involved suits about the railroads, including the construction of elevated railways and disputes over street paving where rails ran on the public roads.
