Sheriff. Quits as
Adjutant General
Owing to Friction
'lrreconcilable Differences
With Governor Caused
Resignation
Especial Dispatch to The Tribune)

'op'c.ut Dtspdrch TO The Tribune)
ALBANY, Sept. 19.-Declaring that
there were "irreconcilable differences
of opinion between him and the Gov
ernor, Adjutant General Charles H.
Sherrlll to-day handed his resignation
TO Governor Whitman. He left ALBANY
shortly after for his summer home at
Lenox, Mass, telling reporters that
his letter of resignation spoke for
ltsel1. The Governor also refused to
throw any light on the "irreconcilable
differences"
1t IS known that there has been fric
tlon for some time between General
oherrlll on the one hand and the Gov
crnor and Major Franklin S. Hutchin-
son, Federal officer in charge of the
New York state draft.
The clash came to head early in
the month, when an order was sent
from the Adjutant Generals office bar
ring public parades and demonstrations
for drafted men about to leave for
camp. Last Friday night AHjutant
General Sheriff. made public a state
ment expressing resentment at this
order and declaring that, without con-
sultlng him, it was sent out bv Major
Hutchinson. General Sheriff. went on
to say that draft parades would be al
loved, but warned the people to be
careful at the railroad stations to avoid
accident.
AS soon as the Governor heard of
the Sheriff. statement, it is under
stood, he expressed anger and repri
manded the Adjutant General. The
Governor then issued another state
ment, through the Adjutant Generals
office, and requested the newspaper
men to substitute it for that of Cen
eral Sherrill's. 1t was similar to the
Adjutant Generals, but left out all
reference to Major Hutchinson.
Right after receiving Sherrill's
resignation the Governor to-day had a
long conference with General w. w.
Wotherspoon, State Superintendent of
Public Works. and it is understood
that he will be appointed to the Ad
Jutant Generalship. General Wother-
spoon has stood high in the estimation
OF the Governor, and some of Mr..
Whltman's close advisers to-day called
attention to the fact that General
Wotherspoon was one of the few men
who rose to the rank of major general
without going through West Point. He
was given his commission as a second
lieutenant in 1873 by President Grant.
