SENATOR SANFORD. OF NEW YORK
This gentleman is sketched by the New York
"Age" among others spoken OF the Regency
candidate for Governor, in the coming Herhimer Con-
vention The sketch is spirited and faithfu--remnd-
ing US of what q celebrated gentleman said of Mr..
Sanford when he shvering in the wind at the time
fortune appeared to have taken the field against Mr.
adams. "He thinks with, and is pledged 10 one side
and potes with the other, aud has established per-
feet claim to the contempt of both" Mr.. Sanford
ran Vice President on the Clay ticket in 1924 -
After the election, he supported MIR. Adams admins
Grafton for some time. When the times became du-
bous, he slipped over to Jackson, managing the So
mcrset with as little ostentaton as possible, in order
to escape observation and that he might if i, became
enpedient. slip back again. The Regency" have
now got him, and we hope they will keep him. His
antpathy to minorities, reminds us cf neghbor of
ours.
Senator SANFORD, next to Mr.. 7hroop, is in our
opinlon the most prominent candidate for the Re-
gency. He Is of ductle materials and prepared to
accept the Herkmer, any other nomination, that
presents the slightest prospect of SUCCESS. MI San

can make political somerset with as much facility
