JIM SHERMAN.

Although not SO extensively known as
some Of the other men mentioned for
the Republican vice presidential nominal
ton, Congressman James Schoolcraft
Sherman Of Utica, N. y, IS nevertheless
By no means tyro in public life. He
has been for a quarter Of a century be-

Of Utica, delegate to the Republican

the Republicans state convention in New

tional congressional committee. and has
served ten terms in the United States
Congress. Where, as yesterdays dis.

the Washington county man would have
beaten Prouty, hands down.
But Che majority 81 the Republican
voters fcIt that quarter century Of
Office holding was enough for him. In
the second place, stanton although men
toned often and early Tor the governor
ship, didn't make formal entry into the
race until Prouty had canyassed the
ground pretty thoroughly. There's where
he lost again. TO continue, Stanton's
management lacked the concentrated
headship that characterized Prouty's, and
the broadside was scattering and there

his position as lieutenant governor to
Proctor's goyernorship lent powerful lev

an interesting account Of the part politi

The force OF the explosion was sufil:
