The men \ of the republican campsig t teel decidedly encouraged ove pros pects and from now until the pol en the night of « n da their efforts towar ing out the full re- putlican vote. Th t that Lincoln and | Lancaster county are normally republican keeps many republicans away from the | polls here on election day and this is one of the most diseouraging factors the man- | agers have had to contend with in the cam- | palgns of the past ten years. This year the | work of organizing was begun early and | the workers were impressed with the fm- portance of getting the people to the polls. The result of the committee’s labors along this line was shown in the first day's regis tration last week and it is believed, not only by republicans but by peopla of all parties, that the vote polled at the forth- coming election will be one of the largest in the city's history. Farmers Are in the Fight Reports received at the headquarters in dicate that interest in the election is not conflged to the city, but that the farmers 1n the country precincts are aroused and impatient to record their votes. A | thorough poll of Lancaster county shows | gains in every precinct and if all of the | | republicans polled vote on election day the republican plurality will exceed that of any election in the past four years. Chalr- | man Cochrane devoted special atten- tion to the work in the country precincts and he looks for as good returns from them as from the city precincts. Ordi- narily the country falls a little behind, but this fs easily explained by the fact | that populism all over the state is stronger with the farmers than with any other class. | It is on this theory, too, that the man- | sgers of the fusion campaign have been basing their efforts in behalf of the fusion | tickets. They have centered their fight on the legislative gicket and are making prac- tically no effort to gain votes for the other fusion candidates. Poynter's name has not been mentioned by the fusionlsts duriug | the eampaign and It is conceded now that be will run far behind the state ticket in this county. Many of the candidates for county offices named at the conventions subsequently resigned and it was only after scouring the county that their places were filled by the committee. No Lincoln man could be induced to accept the fusion nom- ination for county attorney and to make the ticket complete a Havelock man was named for that office. Bryn Law Partner at Work, For the purpose of concentrating all available force the three popocratic com- mitteas have been combined into one fusion committ whose work is directed by “Tommy" Allen, of the law firm of Talbot, | JAllen & Bryan. Mr. Allen is known as & personal friend of the democratic leader and in matters pertaining to the campaign he recetves advice and Instruction from the latter. “The fact that Allen is one of | Bryan's lieutenants gives him some power over wavering populists and although they may not vote for the state ticket or the presidential electors they nevertheless listen to his appeals for their support for the legislative candidates In Lincoln the e quite a number of republicans who aspire to & seat in the United States senate, but the same can be truthfully sald concerning at least one mAn in the democratic ranks and with dofeat In the national election as & | probabllity he is not only anxious that there shall bo a fusion leglslature, but | ho wants a fusion delegation from Lan- caster county. Bryan's declaration at the 1atification after the Kansas City conven tion, which was that he intended to “stay | in politics until the last nall was driven into his coffin,” is considered here as a | warning that if he fails in the national election hie will at once announce his candi- dacy for United States senator and the fusion county committee 18 making its campaign with that declaration in mind Even with a fus! stand but 0 majority Bryan would little chance of election, It is argued, without the support of his own county. The Lancaster county fusionists reallze this and they propose to elect the legislative wicket if it is possible to do so Lincoln Local Notes, The residence of A. G.

He presented the simple facts, without any attempt at ornate | diction, As a debater he had few equa Of late years he seldom entered into the dally discussions on leseer topics, but re- served his efforts for the greater questious. The personal appearance of Mr. Sherman added to the intellectual force he exerted. He 1% well remembered as he appeared on th. floor of the senate during the financtal debates preceding the prestdential election of 1896, His tall, spare figure was bent slightly forward over his desk, as, with ndex finger extended, he laid down the financial principles of which he had been 80 closs a student. During the later months of service in the semate Mr. Sherman had a habit of speaking and then retiring from the chumber, as though all had been said In earller years he was a most attentive listener, even to the minor routine of the senate, and was most deferential and con- siderate of those with whom he differed, particularly the newcomers In private lite Mr. Sherman was known as a shrewd bus 'S8 man, industry, thrift and economy had built up a large fortune. When in this eity Mr. Sherman epent most of the time in his library, immediately to the right of the maln entrance and opposite the drawing room. Here he could be found almost every day, sittlng in & great leathern chalr before a wide, flat deek of antique pattern. The walls are covered with booke. not, however. the books of & student or fiterary man, but volumes of historical data, governmental statistics and treatises on publlc questions | with which his mind had been so long en- gaged. He gave considerable time also to looking after his large property interests. Mr. Sherman was well known about the streets of Washington. He was fond of walking and in his later years he drove al- most every afternoon In a large open carriage, accompanied, until her death, by Mrs. Sherman. The tall, straight-lined | tovepipe hat, not of the latest design, was invariably worn by him, and his drees was of, that simplicity and dignity in keeping with the character of the man Flags at Half Mast. The news of Sherman’s death was com- municated to the State department by E. J. Babcock, for many years private secretary and clerk to Sherman in his various capacities as secretary of the treasury, United States senator and secretary of state and at present private secretary to Secretary Hay. The president was at once fnformed by the department and the flags on the public bulldings in Washington were lowersd to balf mast, 8o to remain until after the funeral. The president, as a special mark of honor to the decensed.. who was not at the time of his death connected in any official capacity with the government of the United States, resorted to the unusual course of personally preparing an expression of the natlon’s grief in the shape of a proclamation descriptive of the personal qualities and civie abilities of the deceazed statesman. At the State department also « message was framed to be transmitted in multiple to the United States ambassadors, ministers and charges abroad, officially notifying them of the demlse of ex-Secretary Sherman. The department will be closed for business dur- ing the funeral services in order to allow the officials and employes to attend in per- son. Ex-Secretary Sherman was known intimately, not only officially, but per- sonally, to Secretary of State Jobn Hay ever since the days of the civil war, so that naturally Mr. Hay was deeply depressed at the news of the death of his predecessor in office, even though that event had been expected for the last few days. In com- menting upon the sad event Secretary Hay sald: Cabinet Oficers’ Opinions. “In the death of Mr. Sherman the country has lost one of its greatest citizens, a man whose name was inseparably connected with all the great events and policies of the latter halt of the nineteenth century; & man not only of extraordinary abllity most spotless character and one whose personality, as well as his work, will al- ways be a model and an incentive to the youth of the country.” The Navy department flag will be half- masted in respect to Mr. Sherman's memory. Beyond this there will be no offictal action by this department. Secretary Long was notified of the death of | his former colleague after reaching the de- | partment. unlimited respect for Mr. Sherman.

Secretary of the Interfor Hitchcock said “Mr. Sherman’s record as a statesman and patriot will enshrine his memory in the hearts of the American people and be an inspiration through successive generations." The news of Secretary Sherman's death was immediately communicated to the president, who had been extremely solicit- ous as to his former premier's condition. The last word previous to the wnnounce- ment of Mr. Sherman’s death this morning had been received by the president at mid- night last night. The president was greatly affected by the news. He immediately di- rected that the White House be closed to visitors aud the flag over the executive mansion placed at half-m; After order- ing some beautiful flowers to be sent from the White House conservatory he went in person to Mr. Sherman's late residence to offer what consolation he could to the bereaved family.

John Sherman was born at Lancaster, 0, May 10, 1823. He was educated at Howe's academy and was admitted to the bar May 11, 1844, He was married Au- gust 30, 1848, to Cecilia, daughter of Judge Stewart, at Mansfleld, 0. He was a delegate to the natlonal whig conven- tions in 1845 and 1852, From December 3, 1855, when he took his seat in the house of representatives a3 a member of congress from Ohlo, until April 26, 1898, when he retired from pub- lic Mfe, he was a man of prominence in national affairs. From the first he was recognized as & ready and forcible de- bater, particularly in the ante-bellum controversies that were at their height when he entered congress. His interest in all legislation relating to finance was shown early in his public career and in | the first few years of his service in con- gress he had enunclated the principle, | now recognized, tbat the system of mak- ing contracts in advance of appropria- | tions was {llegal, Four years later he became a represent- ative Mr. Sherman was the candidate of the republicans for speaker ot the house and was recognized as the foremost man in that body. He was then only 36. Sus picion on the part of some of the south- |ern whigs that he was an abolitionist caused his defeat for the speakership after he was within three votes of the coveted place. As chairman of the ways nd means committee he provided for the rehabilitation of a crippled treasury by the issue of the treasury notes of 1860, | On March 4, 1861, the day on which Abra ham Lincoln was inaugurated as presi- dent of the United States, Mr. Sherman took his seat as a senator from Obio. Few people know that he served as alde- de-camp, without pay, to General Robert Patterson during the recess of congress |and raised.a brigade of 2,300 Ohlo men, largely at his own expense, which was known through the War as the Sherman brigade. Mr, Sherman was in the thickest of the legislative battles during the war period and it was largely through hlis efforts that the United States notes of 1862, issued after the suspension of specle payments, were made legal tender. His was the only volce raised in the senate {in favor of the national bank bill and through his influence and that of Salmon P. Chase It became a law, Rutherford B. Hayes Sherman secretary of the treasury In March, 1877. Under the law specle pay- ments were to be redeemed on January 1, 1870. Before that time Mr. Sherman had accumulated $150,000,000 fn gold in the treasury. When the republican national convention met in 1880 Mr. Sherman was nominated for president by James A. Gar- fleld, who himself secured the nomina- [tlon. In 1881 Mr. Sherman returned te the senate and served there continuously until the beginning of the present admin istration, when he entered President Me- Kinley's cabinet ecretary of state. Twice during that time he was a candi- date for his party’s nomination for the presidency and he was elected president pro tem of the senate on the death of Vice President Hendricks. In his later senatorial career he served as chaw ~™ appointed Mr. rangements for traneporting the body to | | ments. | ¥ith little help from fortune and none from of the committee on forelgn relations and As such was a notable figure in the de- bates on the Hawallan and Samosn qu tions. He never lost his interest in flnan- clal affairs and his volce was always| heard when they were under discussion. | He resigned from the senate in March, | 1897, to enter Mr. McKinley's cabinet and he took up his mew executive duties ap- parently fully equipped to do the hard work of the office of secretary of state in| his accustomed able manner. His heart, however, never appeared to be fully in his new dutles. His age and the condi- tion of his health made it inevitable that he should leave the cabinet to make way for a youmger man, better equipped, it only physically, to perform the duties of the minister of forcign affairs. Prob- | ably Mr. Sherman realized this. At any rate, five days after the war began he tendered his resignation to President M- Kinley and retired to private life, After the war Mr. Sherman made a trip to the West Indles for the benefit of Lts health and while there contracted pneumonia. For a time his lite was de- spaired of and once the Peport that he was dead was circulated and belleved in this country. President McKinley, whose personal affection toward the venerable statesman had never changed despite at- tempts made to estrange them, sent a war ship to Santiago to bring Mr. Sher- man back to the United States. That act saved his life. Careful nursing restored his health, but he never fully regained his strength. Since then John Sherman lived in com- | parative retirement. The death of his wife last year was a severe blow to him. After this bereavement his daughter, Mrs. Mary Sherman McCallum, took up her residence with him in the handsome wliite stone house on K street, Wash- ington, D. C. ARRANGEMENTS FOR FUNERAL of De Statesman W t to His Old Ohto Home on Wednenday, 1 Be WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.—The funeral ar- raugements, so far as they pertain to the services in Washington, were completed this atternoon. They will take place at the late residence of Mr. Sherman on Wednel day afternoon at 1 o'clock, Rev. Mack Smith of St. John's Episcopal church belng the oMcfating clergyman. Immediately after the funeral services the body will be taken to Mansfleld, O., where the arrangements for the last sad rites have been left in the hands of Representative W. S. Kerr and other friends of the family. Services will be held on Thursday, presumably in the Episcopal church usually attended by Mr. Sherman when in Mansfield, and the In- terment will be on that afternoon, in the family burial lot, beside the grave of Mrs. Sherman, The party golng from here will include relatives and friends and also representa- tive of the State and Treasury depart The list of honorary pall bearers is still incomplete, but as far ay those invited have accepted they include: Sec- retary Gage, Justice Harlan of the su- preme court, Hon. J. A. Kasson, Hon. J C. Bancroft Davis, Hon. J. D. Cameron, Senator Hawley and Mr. Parker, The members of the cabinet now here will at- tend the services at the house and Presi- dent MciKnley will go to Mansfleld from Canton to attend the services there. Of the large family of brothers and sisters originally comprising the Sherman family only two brothers survive the secretary. They are Major Hoyt Sherman and Lamp- son P. Sherman, both of Des Moines, Ia The latter is in feeble health and it is not likely he will be able to attend the funeral at Mansfleld. Fuglish Comment on Sherman.
