Sherman, lately secretary of state q
passed away.
Few among our citizens have risen to
greater or more dess rved eminence in the
national councils than he. The story of
his public life and services is as 1t were
the history of the country for half CEN
tury. In the Congress of the United
States he ranked among the foremost in
the House and later in the Senate. He
was twice a member Of the executive
cabinet, first as secretary OF the treasury,
and afterwards as secretary of state.
Whether in debate during the dark hours
of our civil war, or as the director of the
conutry finances during the period of
rehabilitation, or as q trusted councillor
in framing the nations laws for over
forty years or as the exponent of It's
foreign policy, his course was ever
marked by devotion to the best interests

sponse to summons were at the bedside
when the end came. The most devoted of
them was Mrs. McCallum, the adopted
daughter of the secretary, and Mrs. Sher-
man, who remained constantly at the
bedside during the last hours.
Funeral services over the remains viii
be held in this city and at Mansfield, the
Ohio home, where the secretary and
Mrs. Sherman spent so many Of their
summers Interment VIII be IN the fam
lily lot at that place, and will occur, in
all probability, on Thursday, the remains
lying in state in the Episcopal church
at Mansfield for about day preceding
the funeral services.
Brief services also will be held hers
Tuesday and the body taken to Mansfield

night.
The details are necessarily incomplete
but are of the general nature of those
stated.
His remarkable vitality brought him
through a relapse which he suffered dur
ing the heated term and by autumn he
had regained much of his strength and
seemed to be in good spirits. He spent
last winter at his home In this city en-
joying fairly good health. The family
left here early In the spring for their old
homestead at Mansfield. Ohio. They were
there but short time when Mrs, Sher-
man, whose health had been very fraiI,
died. This was a severe blow to the
secretary, from which he never fully re-
covered.
In September he returned to Washing
ton very much broken in health and
spirits. but for time was able to move
about in the open air and to take short
rides around the city. For the past
three weeks or more, however, he had
been confined to his bed, his general de-
bility being aggravated by d bron chi al
cough that hastened the end.
Yesterday a number OF inquiries were
made at the house concerning the condi-
tion of the sick man, President Mckinley
being among those who sent to ask about
him. Several days ago realizing the
critical condition of Mr.. Sherman, tele-
grams were sent to large number OF the
family connections throughout the coun-
try, and some were able to reach here
before he died.
At the bedside when the end came,
were Mr.. and Mrs. Colgate .Hoyt of New
York, Mr.. and Mrs. Frank W1borg of
Cincinnati Mrs, William K, Otis OF New
York city; P. Tecumseh Sherman, a
son of the late General Sherman, Charles
M. Sherman of Chicago and Miss Lizzie
Sherman. Others who were at the bedside
were Mrs. James McCallum, the adopted
daughter who had been his constant at
tendant, and her husband. General and
Mrs Miles, the latter niece of Secretary
Sherman were at the house the greater
portion of the day and even ing, but left
shortly after midnight. They were sum
moned when it was apparent that the
end was near, and reached the house a
few minutes after the venerable statesman
had passed away.
Secretary Sherman's demise occurred
in the handsome home on K street, which
he ! al erected eigll years ago. y

tunnel From this point it is taken to
the so rapid drop heavy weight stamps,

OF why the working people ought to vote
for Colonel William j. Bryan for Presi-
dent of the United States. DR.. Furlong
is diciple of the Populist party who is
rendering good services to the union
parties, he neither seeks nor would be
accept pay for his services. Mr.. Fred
rick Bolsinger is a brother to Elk SEN
ator Henry G. Bolsinger the incorrup-
table Henry, the man who on more than
one occasion refused to accept bribe
money, and if Fred is elected he will be
found as true and honorable as his bro
ther Henry.
In a kindly feeling l wish to speak of
his opponent DIR. Richmond, truly speak
ing of him he has no peer socially in this
county but he has attached to him a
mill stone of a pudding rock formation
and is tagged e. o. Wolcott who tradu-
ces the State, and vigorously attacks
with evel intention one of the greatest
resources Of the state Silver.
John @. Jenkins is favorably known to
every person in this County man who
has risen from the plane of the working
man by careful attention to his business,
and has gained for himself and family a
competence, a man who will carefully
attend to and see that any property will
not be outrageously taxed in the county.
William j. Bryan is no oman's or parties
monkey. He exhibits no party's string
decorations, and when elected President
of our glorious land he will prove to the
Nation, nay, to the world at large his
elevating, far-seeing and guiding quail
ties to rule over the destinies of free
and valient people. On the other hand
President Mckinley is tightly held in
the bondage of Trusts and corporate
powera power whose acts are every day
tending toward the establishment of peo-
mage, many fold worse that the slavery
of olden day, worse because of the GUS
toms governing the conditions of the
slaves of that time, they were provided
with food and raiment furnished by their
masters and hence were happy. in con-
trast to the toilers of today.
Mr.. Mark Hanna is doing the role OF
the kidlets to the benefit and satisfaction
of Trusts and unlawful monied combi-
nations, supported by the united forces
of corporate power. The string attach
ments which he has SO ingeniously de-
vised and skillfully attached to our Hon.
ored President Mr.. Mckinley, who yields
to the slightest pressure or force of pull
ing is SO manipulated when Mr.. Hanna
sees fit to pull the string he gets our
worthy President to dance to the music
of his dictation, thereby compelling to
act in the role Of jumping jack.
Fellow citizens, read; not too fast; care
fully scan between the lines; when you
have studied the situation you will see
in the not far distant horizon looming
up vast bodies of dismel clouds. be led
by the knowledge gained from your
study, so that on the sixth day of next
month you will cast your votes guided
by feverent desire to benefit yourself
your family and the people of the Nation
at large and by doing SO these threaten
ing dismal monsters will vanish as ra-
pidly as the misty vapors disappear be-
fore the glistning rays of the rising sun
on July morning.
Sincerely yours
