has been In conference with Messrs.
Shepard and Fairchild.
The New York State Democracy oc-
cupies a peculiar position in the pres
ent political crisis. Organized for the
purpose of purifying tSate politics, II
was ignored by the recent Saratoga
Convention. Driven out OF the councils
of the party by the machine leaders
and then asked to indorse the candi-
dacy Of the man whom the State De-
mocracy fought In the last National
Convention, and whom they really de-
feated there for the Presidential prize,
they feel disposed to fight.
The Shepardites, OF Kings County.
claim to be in exactly the same posi-
lion. They also rose against local ma
chine rule and succeeded in defeating
IT. Like the State Democracy. they
were thrown out OF the Convention.
Each body thinks II has a big grievance
and whether or not they will join and
fight the State ticket is question OF
much moment. Should they do so their
course may make certain the election Of
the Republican ticket Just what shape
their opposition will take is. however,
problematical.
The question which the rank and file
of the Anti's is asking is:
II the New York State Democracy does
not nominate an Independent ticket as
against what they call the machine, then
where does the New York State Democ-
racy stand? VIII II vote for Hill or ig-
more the State ticket altogether?

the line Of action to be pursued by the

gagged pretty accurately by what the
