Schoolcraft Sherman creates pro
found regret throughout the country
Mr. Sherman made no'pretenslons to
brilliancy In oratory nor genius In
statesmanship, but he was ono of
those substantial, conscientious, en
ergetic and lovcl-hcndcd leaders dc
vclopcd in our public life thor
oughly typical of American citizen
ship. In every capacity In which ho
was tried ho showed himself In
tensely devoted to his duty as he
saw it, and In addition possessed
personal traits that cemented the
affection of thouo who know him.
Perhaps strongest among these traits
was unwavering loyalty to friends
and Innate appreciation of friend
ship. A staunch partisan, ingrained
with - republicanism, ho yet always
accorded his. opponent the same
rights he claimed for hlmsolf. In
gratitude to individuals, or to a po-
lltlcal party, was listed by him
among tho cardinal 'Bins. It was tho
personal liking, combined with the
outspoken courago of his convic
tions, that gave Mr. Shcrmun his
position of leadership, amorig men,.
