AN IMPORTANT QUESTION
Agitatlng the New York State Democratic
Committee.

ASitdtihB he NeW 1Ork stale Democratic
Committee.
New YORK, August 31.-The World
prints the following
Chairman OBrien decided last night
To issue call for the meeting of the DEM
Ocratic State Committee at Saratoga, on
September l3 or II, when will be decided
the question whether that party will call
State Convention. Mr.. O'Brien some
time ago had circulars issued to the mem-
bers of the committee asking their opinion
rs to the ACCESSIBILITY of calling a cOnyen-
tion. He received replies FROM nearly all
the members. The committee was
pretty evenly divided on the
subject, and it was decided
that the only satisfactory way to settle the
matter was to call a meeting OF the COM
mittee. These members who oppose the
calling OF convention give as their reasons
the unnecessary expense, the danger of
committing a mistake on the labor ques-
tiOn and the fear that an endorsement of
the national administration will be adopt
ed. Another reason advanced is the neces-
Sity for recognizing the State Committee.
Many persons believe that the smoke from
the aqueduct agitation has involved Mr..
o Brien to an extent that will neceSSitate
his retirement from the craftsmanship of
the committee" "

in parts of the south there are many Re

years an organization TO look after this
matter. Fred Douglas, of this city, Is
President of the organization. He has

Several agents have been making Observa'
tions and reports upon the state OF things
1t is intended to send large colonies to GER
tain parts of Missouri, where few more
votes are needed, and to Southern lndl'
ana. Dakota, too, has been considered
good place for large colony preparatory
to its admission into the Union. Milton
Turner, cOlOred lawyer, OF st, Louis, who
had charge of the case OF the Indian Terri
tory freedmen before Congress last winter,
is actively engaged in the matter and Is
highly in favor of sending a large colony
to the proposed

through the South, reports that i'll many
localities the negroes are i'll worse con

other Southern States where no money was
paid to the labOrers at all. The proprietor
had store ut cross road, near the centre
of the plantation, and the laborerS were
paid entirely from this. He says that the
proprietors manage to keep the darkies
constantly in debt to them, and thus de.

until they make break for new quarters.
Secretary Mcpherson, Of the CongreS'

to be rather non-committal, but said that
the matter was being constantly invcSti'
gated by regular organization.
