pursuits from 1855 TO 1885, but Is now banker. lie
was candidate for Presidential elector in 1868. 1t
would be hard even to guess at the way Mr.. Wins
low VIII vote He Is one OF that peculiar class OF
p0litclans who do not seem to have any mind OF
their own when they are IN a crowd. When any
question OF 'srecord' was up In the Senate during
the past session he either 'dOdgedr or waited a
second or third call of the absentees so as to find
out how everybody else was recorded, before max
Ing up his mind. 1t is possible that Mr.. Winslow
win play the same role In the impeachment trial.
He will be pretty sure to go with the tide.

Assembly in 1853, "a, 1865, 66 and 1911. Mr. Wood is
were the Senator'S allowed to do any talking during
the trial he would, no doubt, do his part OF it. He
Is rather liberal in his views generally but his
sionally to the demands Of justice. Besides, he is
keenly sensitive to "home rule" pressure, and If he
decided feeling for the conviction OF Barnard at all
hazards he will feel il his duty to vote accordingly,
unless the evidence in favor of the accused is SO
strong and plain that lie who runs may read with

so long it lasts, and when the spirit moves him
wrastler in favor OF the party of the strong He is
one OF that peculiar Tx of men who, in nine
out OF ten believe every man guilty against whom

guilty"

was member of Assembly in 1885, Mr.. Woodin Is
the President pro tenn of the Senate, and the leader
OF the republican side Of the house. He is by long
odds head and shoulders as tar as ability goes,
ahead Of his colleagues and naturally Yields an
immense influence over his fellow members 1t Is
hardly possible that he win vote '.not guilty."

14sth regiment New York State Volunteers In Sep
TENDER, 1862, and commanded 10 until 1863, when he

OF the liberal stripe and Independent to fault. II
the facts' are against Judge Barnard all the polit
ical pressure in the world could not prevent him

publicans with whom he is great favorite person

town. He is one of the silent men of the Senate.
The longest speeches he ever made during the late
session were made when the roll was called on
some bill. They were invariably "Aye" or MOI
nothing more, nothing less. He has a bias, they
say that will not be pleasing to Barnard.

Twenty eighth district was born in Ballston Spa,
Saratoga county, February 10, 1885, He is a farmer.
and has been an extensive contractor. He was
member of Assembly in 1858 and 1867. Mr.. Lord is
great stickler for what he calls democratic
principles and never loses OCCASION either by
word or act, to show that he is thorough dyed-in-
thewoo democrat. He is good-natured sort Of
bad humor; but he Is not by any means the
best educated man nor the most brilliant orator In
the Senate. 1t is very hard to say just how Mr..
Lord stands az to Barnard at present; but 1t is
pretty certain that II the prosecution should take
party hue he will vote against impeachment, come
veal, come woe.

of Genesec county in 1o57-60 and postmaster OF Ba-
tavia in 1S62-6G. He IL one OF the abest men in the
Senate, and has independence enough to vote no
yes on any question, despite political caterwaul-
ing long he thinks that he is in the right. He
is, however, no friend of Judge Barnard, II his de-
nunciatons of the corrupt judges III New York can
be taken into account.
