John Sherman.

This weeks portrait gives the Inca
ments of the Great Disappointed
in the present Presidential campaign.
His ambition is no new one. The
Presidential bee has been bumbling
in his headgear for many years. In
1850, John Sherman received SO votes
in the first ballot at the Chicago Con-
vention, which grew to 120 on the
thirtieth ballot, after which lis forces
went to Garfield John Sherman is
an Ohio man, born in Lancaster on
the 10th of May, 1923. When his
father died, John was only six years
old, and the widows eleven surviving
children were divided by harsh neces-
siiy, only three being left in their
mothers care. At twelve, young
john entered the academy of Lancas-
Ter. While in the sophomore class,
the youth was decided to change of
intention, and we next find him act
ing as junior rod man in corps of
engineers engaged in Muskingum i'm
proveinent In 1888, when only
fifteen, he was given charge of the
works at Beverly. HE next move
was to study law in the office OF Chas.
J. Sherman, an older brother. He
entered into partnership with this
brother at Mansfield in 1914. Four
years later he began his political life
as delegate to the Wing Convention
which nominated General Taylor for
President. In the same year. 1S4S, he
married u daughter of Judge Stewart,
of Mansfield. He was delegate in the
Baltimore Convention of 1852, which
nominated General Scott. His first
election to Congress was in 1885, where
he gained distinction in committee
work. He was Il supporter of John
G. Fremont, in 1856. When in
March, 1861, Salmon p. Chase retired
from the Senate, John Sherman was
elected to take his place, and was re-
elected in 1867 and 1873. He was con-
spicious for patriotism in the war,
spending money, time and service in
the federal cause. The making treas
ury notes legal tender in 1862 was
mainly due to him and Salmon p.
Chase. In 1867, he proposed the re-
funding act, passed in 1870, and the
resumption OF special payments on
January l, 1879, was the leading
triumph of his financial policy. Pres
ident Hayes made him Secretary of
the Treas ury in March, 1877, upon
retirement from Office with the in
cumbency of President Garfield.

A Mysterious Disappearance.

In July, 1887, jeff Gilman and F.
NJ. Rayburn arrived at Walla Walla
from the Big Bend country, where
they had been herding stock, and
put up at the Aurora hotel. Gilmer
had something over $500 with
him, besides a roll of blankets
and a saddle, which were placed in
the keeping of Chas. F. Nye, the
saddler. Shortly after their arrival,
Gilmer told Rayburn that he was 60
ing to put his money in the bank, and
after some questions about our banks,
left Rayburn and went up street with
the intention, he said, of going to Ba.
ker & Boyer's bank to deposit his
money. Rayburn saw him some dis.
tance up the street going in the direc-
ton OF the bank named, but neither
he nor his relatives or friends have
ever seen or heard from him since. AS
he did not return to the hotel nor to
his uncle's house, inquiry was made
unsuccessfully at the bank and other
places. His blankets and saddle YET
remaining at Nye's shop heightened
the mystery. Thinking that he might
have gone back to the Big Bend coun.
try, his friend Rayburn in few weeks
left for that section. And although
diligently inquiring, no one knew
aught of him, although Gilmer was
well known up there. Neither have
his parents, who live at Sullivan, Mis-.
souri,, heard from him since his disap
pearance. He had not been to the
bank, nor has he been seen or heard
OF by any one of the many who knew
him at Walla Walla, since the time
he walked up the south side of Main
street that July morning.

What J,abOrers Think of Harrison

The Indianapolis Labor Signal, the
organ of the labor organizations in In
diana, has the following in its issue of
30th of June:
"Thc nomination of Mr.. Harrison
was genuine surprise to the organ
lied workmen of this State, because
their attitude toward that gentleman
is well understood and it did not seem
possible that IL convention of sane men
would invite Il conflict with large
number of voters in an extremely
doubtful State-by naming candidate
SO Objectionable.
"This paper opposed Mr.. HarrisOn's s
election to the Senate for reasons that
would prevent X from supporting him
now. His public record, in our judg-
ment, has not been such as to COM
mend him to the favorable conside ra-
ton the people this paper represents.
ave did all within our power to
warn the Republicans in time. That
they did not think advice from such a
quarter worth notice cuts no figure
now; but hundreds of letters from
representative workmen in this and
other States indorsing the Signals po-
sition and breathing intense enniity to
Mr.. Harrison are convincing proof
that our position is correct, at least
from the labor standpoint.
"Organized labor will decide the
Presidential contest this year, and it
is almost solidly arrayed against Gen.
Harrison. In our judgment Mr.. Har-
risoi.'s defeat is forgone conclusion,
even if Gov Porter should lend him
self to the commonly talked of scheme
of running for Governor in order 10
help the Chicago nominee through in
Indiana.
"a second source of weakness to
the Chicago ticket is Levi p Morton.
the Wall-street banker. 1t looks as if
Senator Ingalls, advice to the Kansas
delegation had been carried out to the
letter. 1t is a principle as strong as
a written law with the Knights of La
Dor, not to aid in the elevation of n
national banker TO any Office. The or
ganization is opposed to a national
banking system and recognizes in it
the handspring of all monopoly. For
a political party to go into Wall street
over which the courses of the farming
and producing classes of the nation
hover like u cloud-to select Il candi-
date for its national ticket is another
thing that as:onishes the average
working man and causes him to won
der whether the monopolistic interests
of the country have not forseen the in
evitable conflict and concluded to force
the issue without giving labor further
opportunity to organize and inform it.
