THE NEW MOVEMENT IN NEW YORK,

At the meeting of Democrats held In
Cooper Union last Thursday night to
form a Democratic organization in oppo-
sition to the Tammany machine eX-
Secretary Charles S. Fairchild made
speech. in which the following sentence
appears:
"When the Democratic party is no
longer a body OF men who know and
maintain their rights, and who know and
maintain the rights Of all other men OF
whatever party they may be, then the
end Of that party has come
Nothing more just or sound was ever
said. Not only IL this true Of the Democrat
&c party but It is true Of all parties and all
bodies No man can maintain perma-
nent hold upon the confidence Of men
until he knows and is determined 10
maintain his own rights and until he is
resolved to accord to all other men their
rights. As this is true Of the individual
man, it IS true also Of men when act
in together IN aggregation or body.
The purposes of the organization which
was formed were thus set out in reso-
lutions that were adopted:
1T is not the intention or expectation
of the State Democracy 10 introduce into
the party new principles or new practices,
beyond one single effort Of removing the
obstacle. that have recently stood in
the way OF popular expressions OF opin-
ion, and extending to every man in the
State absolute liberty 10 express his
preferences. prejudices. or desires.
"'rhe State Democracy proposes to be
what it's title implies, an organization
for all the Democrats OF the State. II
II should attain the ilrm establishment TO
which II aspires and any one man IN the
State Of New York should thereafter be
deprived OF his voice or of his vote, 70
that extent the State Democracy will be
q failure No party to-day can expect
to live so long as It's methods require on
the part Of its members the forfeiture Of
their seh-respect; and no man deserves
to belong 20 a great political body with
patriotic ends I'm view and an enviable
record behind it who IS willing 10 de-
post his political conscience i'm the
hands Of master.
Except 10 strengthen by all moral in
1uences and all legitimate methods the
organizations in the counties the State
Democracy does not propose 10 interfere
IN lne metnOdS winch DtIiptIdlS lu tne
various localities may deem best adapted
TO brinc out the full free votes of the
party"
This is Democracy, pure and simple
when government and laws are based
fundamentally upon the idea that each
man is the equal before the law Of every
other man, and that no man or set of
mon ia ar are IN no fha favorifae Of
the law with special pri, lleges conferred
upon him or them which are denied TO
others. Then we shall have a pure Democ-
racy. governed by intelligent public opn-
ion, which IS the government which
We earnestly believe our Creator has in
tended as that under which we are 10
achieve our highest destiny.
