Democratic Sentinel, Volume 1, Number 26, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 August 1877 — Secretary Sherman. [ARTICLE]

Secretary Sherman.

A correspondent in Vermont, who met -Secretary Sherman when he visited that State a few days ago, photographs him in this wise : “ His personal appearance is striking, if not imposing. Over six feet tall, lean and lank, he is the type of a true Westerner. Carelessly dressed, wearing a sack-coat of dark material anything but broadcloth, with a dark, high-crowned straw hat, not recently purchased, his feet incased in brogans, with cotton socks, which might have been covered had his trousers been an inch or two longer, he reminds one of a careless, well-to-do stock-buyer or a patent-rights peddler, rather than the chief financial agent of this great nation. In conversation lie is affable, and when

not being interviewed by a newspaper correspondent, which, by the w’ay, is his especial aversion, he is free and somewhat careless in his remarks.”
