SHELDON STORY WAS
LITTLE OFF ON DATE

The True Northerner was in error
last week and slightly mixed in the
story Of our venerable friend o. H. p.
Sheldon. His first Presidential vote
was in 1848 as stated, but it was not
for John c. Fremont. Mr.. Fremont
was not a candidate until 1856.
Zachariah Taylor was elected in 1848,
his opponent being Lewis Cass. The
writer has not interviewed Mr.. Shell
don since the last issue, but it is quite
probable that his first vo tie was for
Levi Cass, democrat, as he stated that
he had voted the democratic ticket
until the civil war. We are pleased
to accept the following correction
from our good friend w. r. Shrine,
who is also one of the "Old timers"
but still Zone of the Boys" (Editor)
Dear Editor:
/ was very much interestd in your
article in reference to my venerable
friend, 0. II. p. Sheldon, and heartily
endorse what you said of his sterling
qualities etc,but concluded Mr.. Shell
don's memory was little off, or we
Editor had failed to look the matter
up. You state that Mr.. Sheldon's
first vote was for John c. Fremont in
1848, you will pardon me for making
the correction by giving a list of
presidents from 1874 to 1860. In
1874 James X. Polk (democrat) was
elected over Henry Clay (Whig.) In
1848 Zachariah Taylor (Whig) over
Lewis Cass (Democrat.) In 1852
Franklin Pierce (Democrat) over
General Scott (Whig.) In 1856
James Buchanan (Democrat) over
Fremont Republican, In 1860
Abraham Lincoln, the first Republican
elected president. My first vote was
cast for Fremont and Dayton IN
1856, and l shall never forget it on
account of it's being challenged by the
democrats, on account of my being in
Kansas that summer helping John
Brown and others to make it a free
state.

was most acceptably filled by local
talent, and the first meeting was a
pronounced success.
