Daniel Manning (May 16, 1831 - December 24, 1887) was an American businessman, journalist, and politician. Born in Albany, New York, Manning's political career was very successful. He served as the chairman of the New York Democratic committee from 1881-84, and later was appointed U.S. Secretary of the Treasury by President Grover Cleveland in March 1885. Manning resigned from this post in April 1887 due to ill health. His portrait on the 1886-series Silver Certificates paid him a great honor since he was still alive at the time.
