til 1896, when there was contest for
the nomination, his competitors being
Seth c. Heacock of Herkimer, now
state senator, and John l.. Sayles of

he was nominated by acolamation each
succeeding two years until his cleo

1892.
On Appraisers Board.
In 1898 Sherman was appointed by
President Mckinley member of the
board of general appraisers of the city
of New York and the nomination was
confirmed by the Senate. 1t was his
desire at the time to accept the ap-
pointment, but political and business

county committee, passed resolutions
| ana appointed COIlIHlIlee u wall up
on him and urge him not to retire as
member of Congress, and in con-
| formity with the desires of his constit-
uents he declined the appointment.
Sherman, early in his congressional
career, became a prominent member
of the House, and during his last few
terms in Congress was numbered
among the leaders. His parliament

Chairman of Committee.
Sherman was a candidate for the
speakership when Thomas B. Reed re-
tired. For twelve years he was chair
man of the committee on Indian af-
fairs, and his work as the head of that
committee received unstinted praise
from all concerned in the work of the
committee, without regard to the party.
| He was also a member of the commit
tee on rules and of interstate and for
e;gn commerce.
Sherman was a regular attendant
! at the Dutch Reformed church in
Utica since his marriage, in 1881.
Prior to that time he had been at
tending the Presbyterian church at
New Hartford. For five years he was
treasurer of his church, and for three
years chairman of the board of trus-
tees.
