avoid women clients. He would hold down
chair and transact business with perfect
satisfaction to his men clients, but at the
swish OF q petticoat he was seized with a
panic. After five years of this trepidation
he decided to enter the political arena.
In 1880 Mr.. Herrick was elected District
Attorney and in 1883 he was reelected
In 1885 he was appointed Corporation
Counsel Of the city of Albany. and he was
elected to the Supreme Court in 1891.
He has been friend of all the party lead
ers and was on terms of the closest friend
den. Roswell p Flower and. Grover Cleve-
land He has had wide experience and
has seen life in all its phases
No one seeing the polished Judge OF these
days, holding court with the utmost suavity,
and surrounded by crowd of fashionably
dressed women. would suppose that once
upon time he was so bashful that he could
scarcely utter a word in the presence Of
the fair sex.
Judge Herricks appearance is rather
that of a gentleman Of the old school.
Though only SIS he has the polished court
illness OF the DAYS Of yore. He escorts his
wife into the dining room and bows her
to her seat as though she were lady of
the Elizabethan court and he knight.
And if there is such thing as homespun
craftsmanship he has never fallen into
its rut. He is a Democrat without the
crudities of the Andrew jackson days.
And, speaking of Andrew jackson. there
are citizens Of Schoharie who still vote
for Andrew jackson for President One
of these called upon Judge Herrick a few
nights ago.
Il vote for Andrew jackson every four
years" said this gentleman, 'and so do
my neighbors. / would rather vote for a
dead lion than for live jackass But this
year we are all going to vote for Herrick'

the first Governor to come out OF Albany,
though he has been an Albanian for fifty

Schoharie county, county which has
record. 1t has the smallest percentage
of foreign born population Of any county
in the State. the smallest percentage of
illiterate, and the largest percentage of vot-
ing Democrats.
Social life in Albany depends largely
upon the personnel of the Governors family.
And upon the entertainments of the Gov
ernor's family Albanans depend for their
social register.
The Flower family entertained lavishly
The Roosevelt family entertained well and
generously. They were exceedingly popular
with all classes Tho Blacks fed their guests
on saltincs and chocolate, and the Odells
have not done very much.
Miss Helen Herrick, who is a graduate
OF the Misses Ely's school on Riverside
Drive came out three seasons ago. All the
fashion Of the capital city was present on
that occasion. She is n handsome brunette
of much vivacity and with n talent for
dressing well While well read young
woman, she is in social life and enjoys
being part of the capital city.
Miss Bertha Herrck. the younger sister,
also was graduated at the Ely school

one whole side of her room.
