ALBANY, Sept. 23--Tbat the Democracy
Of the entire State, with the exception Of
the city of Troy has been united by Justice
Herricks nomination for Governor Is the
opinion of Democratic leaders who have
been in Albany since the close OF the Demo-
cratic State convention in Saratoga on
Wednesday. 1t is expected that Mayor
Hogan OF Troy, who disputes the leader
shin in that city Of ex-senator Edward
Murphy. Jr., will coalesce with the Re-
pubicans this fall on condition that the
Republicans indorse him next year as an
independent Democratic candidate for
Mayor.
The nomination Of Justice Herrick for
Governor has worked miracle in Demo-
cratic politics In Albany city and county,
and about the only political leader here
that Justice Herrick's nomination did not
please was William Barnes. Jr., the local
Republican boss and chairman of the execu-
tive committee of the Republican State
committee. 1t is predicted that the 1000
plurality this county gave Odell in 1903
$500. Heretofore the county, on straight
party division. has been about 500 Re-
publican and the city about 600 Demo-
cratic, but factional fights in the Democratic
party have enabled the Republicans to
carry the city as well as the county in recent
years by a substantial plurality.
State Committeeman P. E. McCabe,
who for years has fought Justice Herrick
and his friends here in the Democratic
party, had long talk with Justice Herrick
to-day, and afterward announced that now
all was harmony and that Herricks friends
were his friends and his friends were Her
nck's friends. AS a matter Of fact the
adherents of the McCabe and anti-McCabe
factions heaved sigh Of relief when JUS
tce Herrick was nominated for Governor,
realizing that they could now act in har-
mony without loss of pride or dignity.
William Barnes, Dr., frequently has said
that this State naturally was Democratic
on straight party vote, and that all the
Republicans had to do was to aid in Demo-
cratic dissensions and factional squabbles
to continue in political control Of the State.
Edward NJ. Shepard stopped over in
Albany to-day on his way from his summer
home on Lake George to New York city,
Shepard has high regard for Justice Her
rick both as a jurist and as man OF strict
integrity. He told Justice Herrick that
his services we're at the command OF the
Democratic party in this campaign.
/, Tammany Chieftain Charles F. Murphy
was another of Justice Herriok's callers to-
day He was accompanied by State Sc a
tor Victor j. Bowling. John B. Mcdonald.
William F. Doyle, the anti-McCarren
leader in Brooklyn, and James F. Conway
of New York city and Plattsburg, who
is a lieutenant of Smith M. Weed. This
group OF substantial Democrats had a half
hours talk with Justice Herrick, and a
record Democratic plurality below The
Bronx was predicted for this fall.
Justice Herrick and Mr.. Murphy have
been friends for some time, dining occa-
sionally together in New York city. Justice
Herrick commended Tammany Chieftain
Murphy's determination to elevate such a
clean able man as Victor j. Bowling to
the Supreme Court bench.
Itdeveloped to-day that Justice Herrick 8
first surname ia not Donald or Daniel,
but that the D. Cady is written and pro-
nounced as hyphenated W ord thus: D. ady.
kilograms and letters Of congratulation
continue to pour in upon Justice Herrick.
One of these letters is from j. F. Herrick
Of Cleveland, Ohio, and reads as follows;
Congratulations; may you make better
for the Herrcks. | am the only DEMOCRATIC
Herrick in Ohio. except my son. i served
az a Democrat in the Ohio Senate. Please
accept my heartiest good wishes for yourself
and family, and success at the polls.
