SALUTATORY,
The Evening Democrat has no apolo
gy to make or its appearance at this time.
II i only one of the evidences of the pro
gress and prosperity of Albany. To make
a live, progressive, energetic city, we must
have railroads, electric lights, street cars
good schools.board of tratle.manufactories
and last, but by no means least, the daily
newspaper. It is here U add its voice and
influence to give impetus to the material
interests and industrial necessities of the
city. Its proprietors are no more nor no
less selfish than others. They would
build up Albany ,for in so doing they build
up their own interests. But the daily
newspaper is a powerful adjunct in stimu
lating industrial and other entcrprises,and
therefore people as a matter of personal
and business interest should give the news
paper a liberal support. We sha'l labor to
Kerit this support.
WHO IS ATTACKED ?
Sunday morning's Herald has a corres
pondent who attempts to make an attack
upon some member of the County Court
on account of some alleged carelessness in
allowing witness fees. We are not aware
whether this attack isjipon Alex. Bran
don, one of the Commissioners, or J.J.
Whitney, the County Judge. The writer
says the object of his attack wants to be
re-elected. Brandon is the republican can'
didatefor Commissioner and Whitney the
democratic candidate for County Judge. If
anything wrong was done in allowing the
witness fees spoken of, both these gentle
meu are equally culpable. The writer of
this article might have told his readers, if
he was so earnest in search of truth, that
all witnesses in criminal actions swear to
their claims before the County Clerk, be-
lore they are presented to the Court, and
it was upon the affidavit of this witness
that Messrs. Brandon.Miller and Whitney
allowed this claim. The statement made

we would say that a gentleman of this clt
who has given considerable thought and
investigation to the subject, informs
that he has arrived at the conclusion tin
no line of manufacturing would more cer

on the money invested than a hosiery e:

ANOTHER PATKON SAINT.
Editors Democrat :
I see that on several occasions lately the
Herald has referred to Judge Whitney as
the "patron saint ot the Ladies Aid so
cietv of this citv. Now I would like the
editor to know that we have other socie
ties in this city that have "patron saints'
as well as the society mentioned. To par
ticularize, we might mention the W. C. T,
U., and assert that this society has canon
ized Judge (?) Blackburn. When this so
ciety brought a very important measure
before the Couneil," backed by a petition
containing a majority of the voters of the
city, Bir. DlacKDurn resigned his position
as Alderman rather than show his hand
and vote upon it. The public have no use
for such a man in the County Judge's
ehair. To fill such a position a man must
have some backbone. Perhaps the Herald
can explain wnat was the matter with this
"patron saint" of the W. C. T. U. Detroit
