tice Herrick He said Il was a great thing
for the city Of Albany that Justice Herrick
had been nominated, that it was great
thing to have been nominated by Demo-

been the best that could have been named.

nominated after the most harmonious
convention the rarty ever held in this
State.
The times were favorable for the success
OF the Democratic party in the campaign
now opening. The people. he said, wanted
change. They were tired Of Republican
rule. and all that was necessary was for
all to put their shoulders to the wheel, in
which event there could be no doubt of the
oltcome Of the fight.

Saratoga. but his audience was in deep
sympathy with him and the cheers given
