tI,he Democratic Candidate for

tI'Tne Democratic Candidate for
ComptrOlIer of the Treasury.
A correspondent of the Cleveland Plain
Dealer gives the following biography of
Mr.. SHERIDAN, who, in January next, will
be inducted into Office as Comptroller OF
the State Treasury. He will make an ex-
cellent officer, and will so perform the
duties of his office that no stealing from the
Soldiers Relief Fund and none from the
School Fund of the State will be tolerated.
even if the attempt should be made. But
none will be, for with Mr.. SHERIDAN, JOHN
McELwEE, of Butler, will be elected Audi
State Treasurer and FRANK HURD, of Knox,
Attorney General, aud these men are not
to the ''manner born" of robbing the poor,
the widow and the orphan, of either the
charity fund raised for their sustenance or
the school fund for their education. II Q
reign of honest men will then commence.
Long may it continue:
VIM. Sheridan, jr., is at present a resi-
dent of Williams county, o. Mr.. Sheri-
dau's native place is Greensborough, West
moreland Co., Pa. At very early age he
removed, with his parents, to the city of
Pittsburgh, where they resided some seven
years. In 1885 the family removed to
Stark county, o., where they remained un-
til 1S40, at which time they removed to
Williams county, where they still reside.
Mr.. Sheridan was retained upon his faith
er's farm until he was sixteen years of age,
at which time it was ascertained that he
possessed more than ordinary ability OF
mind-of quick apprehension, superior ca
pacity for business, and an unyielding en-
i,,f fhn Of md. FOL
ings.
He was at that early age employed as
Deputy and clerk in the various county of
fees, where he established his character as
a good accountant, and correct in all the
business departments of the officials of the
county. At his marriage he entered into
the mercantile business in the town of Stry-
ker, upon the Air Line r. R., seven miles
east of Bryan, where he resides at the pres
ent time.
Mr.. Sheridan is man of sterling integ.
rity; earnest, energetic and confident ol
all measures which impress his mind as
being correct, and addresses himself to all
tion that the sound reasons sustaining
principles will be comprehended, appreci-
ated and received by all who wish the sue
cess and prosperity of their country anG
nation.
Mr.. Sheridan has taken straightforward
course in politics from his youth. His po-
litical associations from the first com.
menced with and in the Democratic party
with which he has at all times identified
himself, and has never been known to wa
yer. In its darkest days he has never seemed
to fear the final result or lose his firm hopes
in the ultimate triumph of those great ma
tional principles advocated by the Democ-
racy of his country.
Mr.. Sheridan has for many years been re.
garded in his own vicinity as a leading pol
iGician of the organization, and has often re-
ceived the confidence of the Democratic
party by being placed in nomination upor
their list of candidates in the election field
In short, Mr.. Sheridan, if equalled, is per
haps not excelled in Ohio for ability to dis
charge the duties of the position for which
he has been nominated by the Democracy
of Ohio. ONE VINO KNOWS HIM.
