The advb-e was followed In th?* latter
but not ln the former respect. Mr. Sher?

attention to hls offlclal dutles as well as
to hla extenslve businesa Interests. flo
,-nmpletely dld ho keep hlmself occupied
that Dr. Peck found ln thls fact the
prlmlpal reaaon for the Vtee-Presldent's
hreakdown.
Vislting all eectlons of th* -otmtry and
mak ig many speeches daily, l.e failed Iti
no effort whlch a loyal partlsan an.l a

crowned wlth succeea and he WOB ele
vated to the Vlce-Presldency, he vlgor
ously turned hls attention to the dutles of
that offlce. In addltlon. the numerous ln
dtiatrlal and flnnnclal tnten-sts wlth whb-h
he was connected contlnued to recelve the
cloeeat care.
Apparently Mr. Sherman dld not weaken
under thls atraln untll laat sprlng. Re
.julred by the tenae parliamentary sltua?
tion In the rlenate to be constantly In hls
? eat during the recent sesslon of Con?

medlcal examlnatlon then revealed
Hrlght's dtaeaae In an advanced form.

unti: the latt- r part of August dld he
enter on a contlnulng decllne. and frorn
that tlme the down-vard trend was rapld
an.i Bieady.
Dr. Peck, the family physlcian, attrlb
utes the August i-hange to the rashness
of hls patient In persisting ln maklng a
set speech ln response to the offlclal notl
llcatlon of hls aeeond nomlnatlon for the
Vlce-Presidency whlch to-ok place ln thls
clty In that month. Standlng In the hot
sun, he then apoke for half an hour. The
speech waa dellvered wlth much fervor,
whlch, lt soon developed, had been im
parted at the expense of vltallty.
The bad conditions whlch followed 1m
medlately could not be shaken off. Kach
day was worse than the precedlng. When.
al*out two weeks ago, th,- time came to
register for next Tuesilay's vote, the Vlee
Pr.-sident's physlcian forbade hls patlent
leaving the house for that purpose. Thls
protest was disregarded, with the reault
thut the fatal malady was greatly nggra
vated.
The eymptoms becamo so much worse
that speil.ilists wer<* summoned from New
York Clty an.l Syracuse. The kldneys
became a prolillc manufacturer of uremlc
polsonlng. Thls caused dellrium and coma
by turns, anil n<"t MnOB Monday nlght last
had Mr. Sherman been ratlonal, except
for a few minutes at a timo.
AII the remedleB known to physlcal sci?
ence were uaed, but none of them gave
more than temporary rellef. So long as
he remalned ratlonal he was what tho
physicians call "a good patlent," but
when dellrlous he reslsted the appllcatlon
of all remedles.
Although th- alarmlng symptoms ln tho
condition of tho vi.Prealdent gavo
great cor eern to himself and tha members
of hls famlly more than alx months ago,
they dld BOt beeoOM known to the public.
Only the fdooeet personal nnd polltical
friends WOTB aware of th-' r-al sltuation.
Mr. Bherman'B happy dlapoattlon and hls
famous smlle wero mMModlng, and th-'se
who saw him as the presidlng offlcer of
thi lenata never dreamed that he suf
