[edit]Is that actually a picture of Gresham? It was removed by an anon and I assumed vandalism, since there was no explanation, but then I looked at the link to the public domain source it was from and saw they had a different picture that didn't look very similar.

- I didn't add it, but you're right. I'll upload the US.Treas.Dept. portrait as a replacement. jengod 00:01, Jun 26, 2004 (UTC)
- Done. jengod 00:06, Jun 26, 2004 (UTC)

Walter Q. Gresham (1832–1895) was an American attorney, jurist, statesman, and politician who served in the cabinets of presidents Chester A. Arthur and Grover Cleveland. He was the 31st United States postmaster general under Arthur from 1883 to 1884 and briefly then the 35th secretary of the treasury from September to October 1884 before resigning to become a federal judge. He was twice a candidate for the Republican nomination for president in 1884 and 1888 before leaving the party to support Cleveland in the 1892 election. He joined Cleveland's second cabinet as the 33rd U.S. secretary of state from 1893 until his death in 1895. Gresham served as a federal judge on the Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, the circuit courts for the Seventh Circuit, and the district court for the District of Indiana. This line engraving of Gresham was produced around 1902 by the Department of the Treasury's Bureau of Engraving and Printing, as part of a presentation album of the first 42 secretaries of the treasury.
