ANTI-MACHINE men.
New Organization Now in Course
Of Formation.
Men OF Prominence Will Be Selected
as Leaders.
Washington &C BE Consulted In
Matters of Importance.

The formation Of an anti-machine or.
ran!zation In this city and State will be
the aim and EFFORT Of the men who man
aged the antl-aiaynard campaign. These
men believe that the verdict rendered
on Tuesday was against machine
methods as well as against the OBJ
j~ectlonable candidate Of the machine.
The PROMOTERS Of the movement think
that this is the most propitious time to
accomplish their object and they will
strike the iron while It is hot.
A conference Of the leaders Is to be
held. Their names are withheld at their
request until some organization has been
effected and they are authorized to speak.
There is no secret about What they In
tend TO do, but they are not yet ready to
make any public announcement
1t can be stated. however, that the
names of W. r. Grace. Charles s. Fair
child, Maurice J. Power. James T. XII
breth, Daniel S. Lamont and william c.
Whitney will not be found on the list
Of organizers Of the movement. although
they will be consulted las their advice
and practical experience in politics will
be OF great benefit to the party OF re-
form.
New men OF equal standing and ability
who are not handicapped by any politi-
cal ties with the existing machine will
be at the head OF the party.
Encoura gcd by the success on Tues
day, It is hoped hat some man OF char
acter and experience In, public AFFAIRS
will take the helm, unite the independent
forces, and lead them to other victories.
Exactly what the plan and scope OF
the new organization will be will depend
largely on what the Administration at
Washington will do to encourage 1t.
In IN the nrpgpnf the Cleveland Adj
ADMINISTRATION has held aloof- from poli.
tics in this city. Collector kilbreth and
Shipping Commissioner Power nave been
unable to give aid or comfort TO the
Cleveland Democrats. They cannot APP
point a scrub woman, 1t is said, without
consulting the authorities at Washing
ton.
The Cleveland men say that they are
entitled to something IN return for the
loyal support they gave Mr.. Cleveland.
Inc time Of Mr.. Whitney and Secretary
Lamont, they say Is too much taken up
with cable road n "H~uckleberry'
rtailroad affairs TO pay any attention
to independent movements, and for bust
ness reasons they might prefer not TO
a1tagOn!ze the machine politicians asso-
ciatcd with them in their money enter
pIises.
MIR. Grace is left out Of consideration,
because he Is thought to be a candidate
for the GIbernatorial nomination. and
Messrs. Kilbrcth, Power and Fairchild.
on account OF their Official connection
with the Administration.
New men are preferable for two rea-
sons They will bring the energy OF
new beginners to the movement. and will
be free from faint Of machine politics.
Unless such men can be secured the
Undertaking will not attract the indie
pendent citizen. As one mar expressed
It. III We merely draw from the exist
ing parties the young men and dis
satisfied leaders. We shall merely be a
machine under another name.
But ! haven't any doubt that there is
"A sufficiently large independent element
TO form Il powerful anti-machine party.
\ word Of approval from Grover Cleve-
land would be a call to arms OF these
| forces.
thousands would flock TO the Cleve-
land standard. SIR. Cleveland's indorse-
ment would be a guarantee of success.
II would insure the complete routing Of
the machine in the city and State next
