The death of John Sherman removes one of the last statesmen of the civil war per iod. At the breaking out of the late un- pleasantness, Sherman had just been chosen an United States senator after a ,reditabIe career in the house of represen- tatives. He remained in public office as a senator and cabinet officer continuously until he resigned, as secretary of state in McKinley's cabinet in 1898, completing the longest public career of any statesman in the history of this country While he never ranked at the head of his party Sherman was very able man and shreWd politician. His mind was better suited tc financial questions and complex admin istrative affairs than to great problems and fundamental principles. He was intensely practical, but did not show up we'll in de bates where principles and theories were involved as did Blaine and Thurman and Garfield.
