READY TO FIGHT TAMMANY.
Mass Meeting of Democrats I'm Ne
York Tomorrow Might.


Ex-Secretary of the Treasury Charles s.
Fairchiid mas revealed an energy and en-
thusiasm in the past two days even greater
than he showed during the time of the
anti-snapper excitement of a year ago last
spring, says Holland" the PHILADELPHIA
Press correspondent at New York. Yes
terday, for instance. Mr.. Fairchild, with the
rough draft of 4 platform upon which IL
is expected that the new democracy of New
York state will stand. visited friends in the
vicinity of Wall street, for this new expert
ment in regenerated machine politics has
had its initiative and its chief encourage
ment within a stonethrow of the New York
stock exchange.
On Thursday evening he will mount the
historic platform at Cooper Union, present
the platform, make brief speech and ask
for its adoption, and then he will turn TO
Frederic r. Couder; and ask him to present
such communication as seems wise to him
to do.
Mr.. Coudert has been a busy man also.
for his part has Been the preparation of
resolutions and al address to supplement
them. 1t has seemed wise TO those who are
engaged in this new politics to have not
only platform. but resolutions and il will
be worth the while of anyone who likes
to listen to good speeches to go to Cooper
Union, for Mr.. Coudert has bestowed un-
usual care upon the address which he pro-
poses to make
When Mr.. Coudert has finished. Mr.. John
W. Gof, the defeated candidate of the indie
pendent democrats for district attorney of
New YORK, ana a man who would stand
alone against Tammany, even though every
other opponent of that organization should
be coaxed or forced into submission to IL.
VIII deliver a formal speech and he will be
followed sar a va
one who will be designated possibly by Mr.
oswald Ottendorfer, and who will claim
with some good reason that he represents a
majority of the German-American voters of
New York city.
With these exercises the formal organiza-
uon or the new state democracy will be
completed. and then 1t is expected that
there Will follow five-minute addresses from
representative democrats from all parts
of the state. For this Is not a purely local
organization. 1t is expected to reach from
renee. 1t will be built upon the foundation
whereon the old anti-snapper organization
erected their political structure. and there
are some indications that IL may have quite
as great support as did that unique and
temporary movement.
The call for the mass meeting has been
signed by 5000 democrats in New York
city, and ii would have been easy to have
obtained twice as many signatures had IL
been thought necessary to do so. No such
formal proceedings were taken elsewhere In
the state, but those who have been conspic-
uous in their opposition to the Hill and
Murphy machine have been invited to be
present or to send a respectable delega tion
to represent them. A number will come
from Buffalo, and they will be the men who
recently fought Sheehan and crushed him
in that city, or at least representation OF
that association. The anti-HiI element in
Rochester will be represented by a consid-
cradle delegation. Not so many will come
from Utica, but four or five men are ex-
pectei who are of considerable nrominanca
among the democrats of central New York
A large delegation will come from AL
bany and considerable one from TROY but
1t has been understood that the Troians are
rot to be represented by any democrat
who has been conspicuous for personal hos
tility to Senator Murphy The BROOKLYN
independent democrats whose success at
the aate election did much to inspire those
who have this new organization in view
will be well represented and 1t is expected
that some one or more Of those represent
ing democracy In various parts of the state
Will be called to the platform to make
speeches.
