New YORK, Nov. 29.-The long OK
pected statement from the leaders OF tac
anti-Tammany movement, which has bcen
In process of capitalization for the last
three weeks, was given out for publication
tonight. 1t Is vigorous document, and
fiercely attacks Tammany and the state
machine, and gives list of reasons which
have induced the attempt to dethrone the
dominant Democratic faction in this city
and state.
The name of the new organization is the
New York State Democracy. The chair
man is ex-Secretary OF the Treasury
Charles s. Fairchild, and the secretary,
pro tenn. William +. Hull, wealthy
wholesale liquor dealer OF "Barney" Mar
tins district. The general committee is a
thousand strong. The following is an
abstract OF the statement addressed "To
all Democrats"
Recent events have demonstrated that
those who now assume to lead the Demo-
cratic party in New York, and to direct
the actions of its state and local conven-
tions, have repeatedly and persistent
ly endeavored to misrepresent the
real sentiments of the party. In 1892 they
very nearly led the p>-ty TO disaster in the
national election. In 1898 they have actu-
ally brought Il to defeat in this state.
A scathing Arraignment.
In 1892, by fraudulent caucuses and dis
honest political methods, they undertook
to mislead the Democratic national con-
vention as to real choice of the Demo-
Gratis of this city. This attempt happily
failed. The very means adopted to stifle
the noise OF the people resulted ip afford
ing time to present an organized
protest against the attempted mis-
represention, and the national convention,
the great court of appeal of the party,
was quick to disregard and overrule
what had been thus falsely and fradu-
lently known as the voice of the great
Democratic state. Only by means of "a
great popular uprising against the domi-
mating of these unfaithful party leaders
was disaster averted and the country saved
from a perpetuation Of Republican mis-
takes and misrule.
They have prostituted the name of De-
mocracy to the vilest ends. Municipali-
ties have been looted and have been denied
the right OF self-government. Offices have
been bestowed upon unworthy persons as
rewards for disreputable political services
and as tributes to personal friendship.
Common Dec>ncy Outraged.
The laws of the state have been violated,
the mandates of its courts defied and COM
mon decency outraged. All these crimes
have been committed in the name of DEM
ocracy by men whose sole claim to power
and consideration is that they proclaim
themselves to be Democrats. Whatever
the Democratic party does in New York
has great influence upon its fortunes in
all parts OF the country, for everything
done here is viewed Mt through a a magni-
flying glass and is seen and is known of
all men.
Had Democracy in New York always
been true to itself and true to its ideals,
we should have attained supremacy in the
general government long since, and many
states still controlled by Republicans
would have declared for Democratic prin-
ciplcs and intrusted the control Of their
affairs to Democrats.
