NEW YORK, Oct "a third state ticket
has been put in the field by the Democrats
of Kings county, and it is expected 1t will
be Endorsed by the Independent Demo
Gratis throughout the state. The ticket
presents as the candidates Of the anti
Hill Democrats for governor, Everett P.
Wheeler of New York City, and indorses
the candidacy of the regular Democratic
nominees for lieutenant governor and
judge OF the court of appeals-Daniel l..
Lockwood and Charles f. Brown.
After having decided upon its candi-
dates, Mr.. Shepard's committe nominated
Hon. Charles S. Fairchild for chairman of
campaign committee. The ticket was
nominated shortly after 6 O'Clock this
evening by a committee composed of
Charles 3. Patterson, Thomas q. Sher-
man, George K. Peabody, Michael T.
O'Conner, r. r. Bowker, Richard 5. Ran
sry, j. W. Green. S. Perry Sturgis and
Charles l. Ricardi.
The committee was appointed by Ed
ward NJ. Shepard as result of meeting
of Shepard delegates to the Saratoga cou-
ventioD. That meeting was held last
night and the committee called for the
resolutions, which were adopted without
opposition.
As the Shepardites are said to have re-
ceived assurances that their nominee for
governor will accept, all that remains to
be done to make the ticket the regular
choice of the third party is to secure the
signatures of 5000 persons as indorsers of
the candidates and TO file these with the
secretary of state on or before Oct 1G
Everett =. Wheeler is about 90 years of
age aud u lawyer in this city, being senior
member of the firm of Wheeler, Curtis 6,
Gidkin. He has also been chairman of the
New York Civil Service Reform associa-
ton. He was a member OF the New York
board of education from 1880 to 1887. He
was one of the original founders of the old
county Democracy organization, one of the
mem berS OF the committee of one hundred
which organized the New York state De-
mocracy, aud be is memDe: of the pres
enG committee of seventy. For five years
he was the professor of the New York Free
Trade club.
The platform adopted begins with
complaint against he Saratoga convention
for unseaiing the Shepard delegates. The
platform then advocates personal and re-
ligiOus liberty, denounces the Republican
party as the tool of trusts and declares for
tariff reform, free coal aud free ores. 1t
continues as follows:
THE constitutional convention has
sought to petrify in the legislation of the
state a gerrymander appointment con-
trary to the principles of representative
government. We blame this danger to
Democracy to David.B. Hill. whose polit-
icai shortsiG htedness in forcing the nomi
nation of Maynard. threw the convention
as well as the legislature into the hands
of the other political opponents; and we
ask fair minded Republicans. with whom
we voted against Maynard, to vote with
us against this unjust and partisan appor
tionment.
I'VE favor home rule in cities, separate
municipal elections, the suppression of
bosses and rings, and the business admin
istration of municipalities
