President Cleveland TO he Asked 20 Assume

who arc seeEing TO Disrupt tho Party.
ALBANY. Nov. Ex-senator HILL Senator
Murphy. Lieut-Gov Sheehan. and Gov. Flower
met TO-DAY by appointment and had long
conference over the proclamation issued by
MIR. Fairchid and a number OF Federal Office
holders and others.
1t was reported that Mr.. Croker also was
present. Whether or not Mr.. Croker was
present. there is no doubt that tho result Of
tho conference meets with his approval.
The main result OF this conference IL that the
leaders OF the state Democratic organization
will not turn over the organization to these
claimants for leadership. President Clevc-
land viii be gently asked to assume or deny
tho respon siblity for the acts Of men, many OF
whom are his appolntees.
A straight Dem ocratio ticket will be nomi-
mated next year. with such men for candidates
as the majority Of the party prefer. No con-
SESSIONS and no invitations will be made to the
men who defeated the democratic ticket thls
fall and lost the control Of the Legislature.
II this course results in a Republican Cover
nor the Federal ofTlceholders will be held re-
sponsible. Ms they were by their fellow Repub-
licnns in 1882, when Mr. Cleveland got his
overwhelming majority for Governor. twice as
large as Mr.. Bartlott's majority for Judge OF
the Court OF Appeals this fall.
I'VE are entirely willing to have these gen.
tlemen nominate ticket of their own" said a
Democrat who knows all that took place at the
conference. Tho election will DO enough to
determine whether they are q major
ity OF the party. The majority OF the
Democratic party have no intention OF sur-
rendering the control OF the party organic alton
to this small minority. The majority OF q
party are entitled to nominate the party ticket.
just as majority Of the people are entitled to
elect whom they please. We are going to have
no minority government Of the Democratic
party.
1T is significant that many OF these
men are Federal offlceholders. Mr.. Fair
child is on the Grand Roll OF the Treasury
Department. Mr.. MacFaranc is paid by tho
same department. Mr.. Courdert is a receiver
OF tho Pacific Railroad Mr.. Anderson is a
Government director OF the Pacific Railroad
Mr.. Baldwin is a deputy collector. Here are o
few names to show the character OF the list.
Again. Mr.. Scott Is n defeated ATayoraty
candidate. So are Mr. Grace and Mr.. Hewitt.
They cannot get office from tho Democrats
who know them. There are not score OF
well-known defeated candidates on the list
These men control no delegates. and few
votes Mr.. FaEchild cannot carry his own
election district at Cazenovia. Madison county.
The political strength OF tho others is shown
by tho votes they received when thoy
were candidates What surer way could there
be for the Democratic party to encounter con-
slant defeat than to put these dsctodited. de-
feated, unpopular men at its head?
1T is ine time for them to start to dis
rupt the party when the Presidents Hawaiian
ana tariff policies need united Democratic sun
port In Congress. Suppose the Democratic
Representatives OF New York in Congress
should treat the President as his representa-
tives in New York treat them"
At the conclusion OF the conference Senator
Murphy and Lieut.-Gov Sheehan went to
Troy. Senator Hill and Senator Murphy will
60 to Washington in a few days.
