Summary edit

Description
English: John Sherman plus a short bio
  • Caption: Anxious friends have watched for the daily reports of the condition of Hon. John Sherman, and the general announcement of his death, on Tuesday, came as a shock to those who were hoping for more favorable intelligence. These were relieved when the report was contradicted on Wednesday, and all are now hoping for his complete recovery. Mr. Sherman's has been an eventful life. He was born in Lancaster, Ohio, May 10, 1823, received an academic education, studied law and was admitted to the bar May 11, 1844, was a delegate to the Whig national conventions in 1848 and 1852, and presided over the first Republican convention in Ohio, in 1855; was a representative in the 34th, 35th, 36th and 37th congresses, and was the Republican candidate for speaker in the winter of 1853-60; was elected to the senate in March, 1861, and re-elected in 1866 and 1871. He was appointed secretary of the treasury in 1877, and served as such during the administration of President Hayes. Mr. Sherman was re-elected senator to succeed Hon. Allen G. Thurman (Democrat), and took his seat on the fourth of March, 1881, was president of the senate from December 7, 1885, until February 26, 1887, and was re-elected to the senate in 1886 and 1892. He resigned from the senate in 1897 to become secretary of state in President McKinley's cabinet. In all of the financial legislation since the Civil War, Mr. Sherman's influence has been felt. He has been prominently before three Republican national conventions as a candidate for the nomination for President, and each time with a strong following. One of the most notable convention speeches ever delivered was that of Senator Garfield presenting the name of Mr. Sherman to the Chicago convention in 1880. His home is at Mansfield, Ohio, but he spends most of his time in Washington. He is the son of John and Mary Hoyt Sherman, and traces his ancestry to Rev. John Sherman, who with his brother Samuel, emigrated from Essex, England, in 1634, settling in Connecticut.
