politically. Albany county republicans
are alarmed at the turn in affairs. Re-
publican majorities have been growing
bigger in Albany county for several
years, owing to the HiIl-Herrick feud,
but the democrats now united promise
to return the county TO its old place in

to about $25, 900 in American currency
