A native of [[Albany, New York]], Manning began a newspaper career at age 11 and worked his way through the ranks of the ''Albany Argus'' to become president and publisher.

As chair of the [[New York State Democratic Committee|New York Democratic Party]], Manning was a key supporter of [[Grover Cleveland]]'s successful campaign for president [[1884 United States presidential election|in 1884]].
