He was but slightly artected by the Oxford move- 

 ment, although he knew many of its leaders, but his 

 nature was too robustly praetieal to have much sym- 

 pathy with the idealism of that school of religious 

 thought. As a young man he was a noted athlete, 

 having achieved distinction in rowing, skating, and 

 on the cricket field, and he carried the athletic tem- 



Eer into all the discussions and controversies of his 

 >ng life. His beliefs were held with entire confi- 

 dence, without a shadow of indefiniteness, and the 

 breadth of his views offered at times a strong con- 

 trast to the narrowness exhibited by some of his own 

 party. He received many honorary degrees, includ- 

 ing "a D. C. L. from Oxford, and 13. D. from Edin- 

 burgh and St. Andrew's. He was a profound schol- 

 ar, and was one of the company of revisers for the 

 New Testament, In the Scottish Church he held a 

 place which can not readily be tilled, and as a large- 

 minded, liberal man he ranks among the notables of 

 his generation of Englishmen. He married, in 1 835, 

 Miss Charlotte Day, the daughter of the Kev. George 

 Day, and on her death, in 1839, he remained a widow- 

 er until 184i, when he married Katharine Mary, the 

 oldest daughter of the Rev. William Barter, rector of

 the so-called Massie law of 1889 the Secretary of 

 State was directed to retain as fees for the State 

 one tenth of 1 per cent, of capital stock of cor- 

 porations for issuing certificates of incorpora- 

 tion or consolidation. The charge was resisted 

 by several railway corporations as unconstitu- 

 tional. In June the Supreme Court decided one

 of the two branches was : Senate Republicans, 

 21, Democrats 10 ; House Republicans 72. Demo-

 in the election of a United States Senator for 

 the term following that of Senator J ohn Sher- 

 man, which expires in 1893. The contest for the 

 Republican nomination was between Senator 

 Sherman and ex-Gov. Joseph B. Foraker, and 

 resulted in the nomination of Mr. Sherman by 

 53 to 38 for Mr. Foraker, and 1 vote each for 

 William McKinley, Jr., and Charles Foster. 

 The Democrats nominated James E. Neal. Mr. 

 Sherman was elected United States Senator for 

 the sixth time by the following vote: Senate 

 Sherman 18, Neal 8 ; House Sherman 93. Neal 

 29. The contest for the Republican nomination 

 was so bitter between the supporters of the rival 

 candidates that charges of bribery were freely 

 made. The grand jury of Franklin County in-

 indictment, and after discussion in the Legis-

 United States Senate, was finally reduced to a
