An Errot.

THE Independent Press OF last Wednesday
publishes the Fusion and Democratic State
and county tickets side BY side. 1t then
gives the Democratic platform (with the ex-
ception of two or three resolutions) adopted
at our county convention, and also what par.
ports to be, but is not, the fusion platform
The platform published by the Press as en-,
dorsed by the fnsionists, ,Cas seoer adopted b,
them either in State or county CSnventton.--
1t is unfair to publish as the platform Of q
party that which it never adopted. We pre-
sumo this error Of tho Independent Press was
not intentional, and we hope it will be cor.
yected in the next issue of that paper.
