A SIMPLE STATEMENT.
The Furnaceville Case Decided According 70
Overwhelming Evidence.

From Lieutenant Governor Hisginss speech AZ
Madison Square Garden
In u.ain English the case is this: NAY p
1898 years before 7 became a member of the
Canal Board the Furnaceville Iron Company
had been paid By the Controllers warrant, up
on the estimate Of the state Engineer and the
audit OF the Superintendent Of Public Works.
Cor 1S6lS cubic yards OF dry excavation %
rock SIS61S." II had thereafter presented 70
the Canal Board a claim for the return OF Ger
tain deposits and percentages held back BY t1e
State on monthly estimates until the complexion
OF the work under lis several contracts, ana fo-
less Of prospective prodts and for excess wages,
which claim had absolutely no connection with
the item for rock excavation, but was one o.
many claims Of like nature which came before
the canal Board for consideration az that time.
That claim was still pending when became
meunber Of the board.
The question Of fact before US for decision was
a simple one The contract provided. 20 quote
the exact words that dry excavation OF rock
will include the removal OF all solid or ledge
rock and hardpan which. in the opinion Of the
resident engineer cannot be plOughed, and al
bowlders measuring ons-haH a eucic yard or
Were the 1888 yards allowed and paid for
as rock IN 1895 hardpan which could not be
ploughed and therefore properly allowed Tor as
excavation % rock within the terms Of the con
tYaet? The board heard evidence on both sides
BY the overwhelming weight eT evidence It
WAS established that the company had eEca-
waited under it's contract 1858 yards ef hardPa1
which could not be ploushed; that there had
been no fraud or eollusion, and that no reduction
sineer testified 70 the nature Of the material
exeavated, and his testimony was fully eoTro5-
GRATED. The Attorney General himself conceded
az that time that che testimony Of his witnesses

The End of a Scandal.

Mr.. Justice D. Cady Herrick Of the Supreme
Court Of the state OF New-York has occupied 8
place en- that exalted bench since January l.
During this entire period Mr.. Justice D. cady
Herrick has exercised also the functions OF BOSS
of the Democracy Of Albany County. He has
been persistent consistent and defiant in his re-
fusal TO withdraw from active politics while in
judicial ONCE.
in that part Of the Empire State. So ii was
when he voted for Bryan and declared that he
had no apology 70 make.
The presence OF Boss HerTck on the bench Of
the Supreme Court constituted public scan
dal II has been an indecent and depressing
spectacle 10 see the fingers Of one of his hands
Fl,sv- 81 -be sz.-ircrbosr5 Of local roi-iCs while
his other hand held the scales of justice.
The most notable fact in the biography OF this
particular jurist will be the circumstance that
when this long continued scandal ended it ended
not by his voluntary retirement from the bench,
but by his enforced retirement from the post
of Democratic Boss Of Albany County and Al
bany town. And the Hon. David Bennett Hin
did it.
So recently. then as four years ago. after OBJ
serving the Democratic candidates career on
the bench for eight years, ex-Justce Herrick's
most ardent supporter Of to-day regarded his
political activities as 8 public scandal" II
was shocked at his persistent. consistent and
defiant refusal 10 withdraw from active poll
tics" II thought him an indecent and depress-
ing specta Gle" and pointed 70 the notable fact
that his retirement from the post IF Demo-
cratic Boss was enforced"
The sun is competent and presumably IN
BIASED witness. Ex-Justioe Herrick tried IN
his New-YOrk speech 10 convey an impression
10 the public that consideration Of judicial pro-
priety led him 10 withdraw from political ac-
tivity. Did he while on the bench simply "ad-
wise and consult with former friends as 70
their political action? The Suns" contem-
poraneous testimony contradicts him. Accord
ing 10 that friendly newspaper. he remained
boss and a scandalous one, and fought TO main
tain his Boss-ship until Eugene Wood. "Packy"
NcCsbe and David B, Hill forced him out OF
rnRhr
