SHERMAN'S CAREER.
The Ohio Senator's Half-Century of Prom.
inence in Politics.

The ohio Senator's Half-Century of PRONE
inence in Politics.
WASHINGTON, D. C.-John Sherman has
figured more or less prominently In Ameri-
can politics for over half century. Born
In Lancaster. Ohio, on May 10. 1928, he re-
ceived such schooling only as Ohio supplied
at that early day, and at the age OF fourteen
became surveyors rod man. 1t was po-
litical appointment, and two years later he
lost 1t through politics. Then he got a
clerkship in one Of the county offices, which
he kept for two or three years. In lS4O he
went to Mansfield to study law in the office
of his brother. the late Charles T. Sherman.
On his twenty-f1rst birthday he was ad-
mitted tc the bar and was taken by his
brother as partner.
John Sherman made his debut in politics
in 1844 as un orator in behalf Of Clay's can
didacy for President. Since then he has
been successfully Representatives in Congress
(arst in 1851, United States Senator and
Secretary OF the Treasury, retiring from the
Cabinet when President Hayess term e3-
pired and re-entering the Senate.
Besides this. Mr.. Sherman mas been promi-
nently before every National Republican Con-
vention almost ever since the Civil War as a
possible nominee. Me has desired the nomi-
nation and once or twice it seemed quite
probable that he would get it. He was very
near it In 1880. Again In 1888 he hid great
hopes OF. winning the prize, but it went to
Harrison.
Senator Sherman is now nearly seventy
four years old and can hope for no higher
earthly honors than have already fallen. to
him.
Senator Sherman was married on Decem-
ber 81, 1S4S, to Margaret Cecilia Stewart, the
only child Of Judge Stewart, OF Mansfield.

nee" This young lady has many charms OF
person and mind. She is the daue hter Of the
Princess Liki-Liki, who was the sister OF
Liliuokalani and Of the late King Kalakaua.
The Princess Liki-Liki is dead, and her
daughter is therefore the heir apparent to
the throne at Honolulu which was broken
up by the revolutionists few years ago.
Her father, Mr.. Cleghorn. an Englishman:
whose home is in the. charming little island
of jersey, near England, was once resident
In the beautiful islands of the Pacific and
loved and married Liki-Liki. Hence. the
young Princess is not full-blooded hanaKa,
but she possesses enough OF the color and
features Of that race to make her much more
interesting than mere white Princess.
While she was in America Kaiulant was the
recipient of many public honors. Ex-Queen
Lii is now on a visit to her friends and rela-
tions in Boston.
