DEATH fl0 EMBARRASSMENT
Republican Committee Will Select
 Successor to Vice President.

Washington.-Remoyal from the Re. publican ticket of the vice presidea- tial candidate before the November election. it was generally said in Washington does not lead to legal embarrassment to his party.
 This conclusion was based largely upon the fact that the voters do not vote directly for president and vice president, but vote for electors who are clothed with power under the con. stitution to select whopsoYer they please when they meet in their re. spectiye states on the second Monday in next January to ballot for a presl. dent and vice president and to certify that result to Washington.
 While the names of the presidential and vice presidential candidates are universally printed al the head Of the respective lists Of electors. this is re garded as matter of party wisdom to bind the electors morally and to describe their political complexion for the convenience" of voters.

UGea. \. Y.-Afeer long illness, Vice President James saa6olcrafc sherman died al hi5 home ia Utica of uraemie poison caused by Prights disease
 #r. sherman Was unconscious when he end came aaa Ead been =ta that condition for hours.
 All the members O the immediate family were witnesses b the faal scene. In addition 10 aIrs. sherman, there were in the death chamber their three sons, Sherri.l. Richard |. and Thomas M sherman and their respec- tive wiHes; K. N. and Sanford Sher- man, brothers Of Mir sherman, and Mrs. l.. D. Moore and Mrs. H. j. Cookingham, sisters of NIT. sherman
 Mrs. sherman bore up brayely under the shock Of her husbands s death, as also did the other members of the family. Although it was said at the house that the hopelessnes8 of MT Sherman's fight against death had been realized for some time. the blow nevertheless was a crushing one
 Announcement Of the vice presi- den''s death spread quickly through the city. Mr. sherman was regarded as the first citizen of the city, anl all differences growing out of politics died with him.
 Mayor Baker issued a statement yoieing the general grief and the big bell al the city hall. as well as many church bells, tolled out the doleful news.
 Not only did the Republican orgaui- gation take proper recognition of the event, but the ProgressiYes announc ed their intention of canceling all meetings until after the vice pr.si- dents funeral.
 The Democrats also signified their intention of removing a Wilson and Marshall banner, which had been flung across one Of the city streets, and of suspending all political activity until after the funeral
 The mayor ordered that the flags on ssl city buildings should be placed at half mast, and suggested that q similar course be followed with all other flags in Utica.
 Due both to the presence of excessive uric acid and to the sedatiye employ ed, Mir. sherman lay in a state of coma throughout the greater part of the day. Only twice did he throw off the dense stupor which enthralled him. On neither Of these occasions was he conscious for more than few minutes During one of these intervals of consciousness, he got out of bed and stood on the floor for a brief period.
 The entire sherman family, consist Ing or Mrs. sherman, the three sons and their wives, as well as other rela- tlNe5 were in the house in constant expectation of a call to the final scene.
 bF, Peck attributes death entirely 10 tie failure of the kidneys to oper- ate This condition resulted in filling the system with a virulent poison which rapidly destroyed the patients vitality. The disease transformed the hitherto ruddy complexion of the vice presidents face to dark purple.
 Mr. Sherman's rapid decline in health dates from August 2l. when he was formally notified of his nomina- tlon as vice president, according to bf. Peck. He was warned that the eNeftion incident to the ceremonies night have an i'll effect. but insisted that the program as arranged be car ried out.
 You may know all about medicine, MT Sherman told his physician when he urged him to arrange for a brief and formal notification, but you don't know about politics"
