ANEW TICKET IN new YORK
Independent Democrats TO Fight the
Regulars.

A Report That Ex-Secretsry of the
Treasury Fairchild win Be the
Nominee for Nominations
for Lieutenant Governor and Judge
of the Court of Appeals Also to Be
Made.
Brooklyn, n. Y, Sept. 20-The Eagle,
this afternoon, makes the following an
noIncement. There will be an independ-
ent democratic state ticket in the field.
1t is not only probable, but it is virtually
certain that it will be headed by the name
of Charles S. Fairchild, formerly attor-
ney general of the state Of New York,
and more lately the Secretary of the
Treasury in Pres ident Cleveland's first
administration.
Nominations for Lieutenant governor
and judge of the court Of appeals will
also be made. The whole ticket will COM
prise, in the words Of one who is active in
the work, men Of commanding abilities,
of exalted character, of devoted democ-
racy and unquestionable hostility to cor
ruption, to slavery, to political degrada-
tion, to the brutality of machinism, to
the brainlessness of bossism and to tho
sale of law
The men other than Mr.. Fairchild
who will go upon this state ticket will be
chosen, as MIR. tairchild already has
been, by the accordant voices Of the
leaders and the followers of the inde-
pendent democracy OF the state Of New
York. The financial resources requisite
for state campaign of the most active
character will not be venting, for such a
campaign will be limited to the
wholesome, direct. simple, single and not
necessarily expensive work Of informing
and aiigning the already aroused, earn
est and implacable democratic hosts OF
independence and reform in every county
in the state. The campaign will be one
of aggressiveness and agitation"
The Eagle says this movement is the
result OF conference yesterday and to-
day of reform democrats from all parts OF
the state,
