Offered to Herrick.

ALBANY. Jan. 4.-D. Cady Herrick,

justice and traditional enemy of Pat

Before William Barnes wrested the
control of Albany County and CITY from
the Democrats nearly twenty years
ago, Herrick and McCabe fought for
years for ascendarcy in the Albany
County Democracy. 1t was one of the
most bitter local political fights ever
conducted in this state. No quarter
was asked or given. and although Nc
Cabe won out in the end the conflict
had so weakened the party that it has
never been able to regain control Of the
county since.
Politicians here look upon the offer
OF the prison superintendent to JUDGE
Herrlck as direct slap in the face to
McCabe and declare that he will stop
at nothing to make his resentment felt.
Herrick Denies He Has Accented
The friends of the Governor. on the
otner hand declare that in CARVING

prison superintendent conduct an in
vestigation of the department he could
not find a better man than Herrick. be-
