He was a member of the Democratic Party. Born in Saco, Maine, Milliken moved to Chicago in 1837 and set up a blacksmith shop on Randolph Street.[1][2] Here, Milliken taught himself law and was twice elected alderman and appointed an assistant county judge.[2] In the election of 1854, Milliken defeated Amos G. Throop, who ran on the Temperance Party ticket, with nearly 60% of the vote.[3][4] Although Throop was the temperance candidate, after winning the election, Milliken declared himself in favor of temperance as well.[5] He ran for re-election the following year against Levi Boone, of the American Party and lost with 47% of the vote.[6] Following his term as mayor, Milliken stayed in public service, becoming a police magistrate.[7] References1. ^{{cite book | last = Pierce | first = Bessie Louise | title = A History of Chicago, Vol. II: From Town to City 1848-1871 | publisher = University of Chicago Press | year = 1940 | location = Chicago | pages = 305}} 2. ^1 {{cite book | title = The Chicago City Manual | publisher = Bureau of Statistics and Municipal library | year = 1911 | location = Chicago | pages = 35}} 3. ^{{cite web | last = Walker | first = Thomas | title = Chicago Mayor 1854 | work = Our Campaigns | date = 2008-11-04 | url = http://www.ourcampaigns.com/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=486033 | accessdate = 2012-06-06}} 4. ^{{cite book | last = Pierce | first = Bessie Louise | title = A History of Chicago, Vol. II: From Town to City 1848-1871 | publisher = University of Chicago Press | year = 1940 | location = Chicago | pages = 202}} 5. ^{{cite book | last = Miller | first = Richard Lawrence | title = Lincoln and His World: The Path to the Presidency, 1854-1860 | publisher = McFarland Press | year = 2012 | location = Jefferson, NC | pages = 64 | ISBN = 0786459298}} 6. ^{{cite web | last = Walker | first = Thomas | title = Chicago Mayor 1855 | work = Our Campaigns | date = 2008-11-04 | url = http://www.ourcampaigns.com/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=486034 | accessdate = 2012-06-06}} 7. ^{{cite book | last = Gale | first = Edwin O. | title = Reminiscences of Early Chicago and Vicinity | publisher = Revell | year = 1902 | location = Chicago | pages = 386}} External links
