C. L. Perkins asserts that the reason for the New York Sun‘s opposition to Timothy Woodruff (former NY lieutenant governor) is because he married a woman of questionable morals. “Such a man with such a wife” might make a fine addition to Washington society, but the couple is not accepted in New York. Woodruff thinks he is “a power,” but as long as he is the leader of the party in Kings County, the county’s support cannot be counted on.
