NEW YORK, Sept. %. The Brooklyn
Eagle, in its issue to-day, says: There
will be an independent Democratic State
ticket In the field. 1t is not only probable,
but it is virtually certain that Ii will be
headed by the name OF Charles S. Fair
child. Nominations for Lieutenant Govern
or and Judge Of the Court Of Appeals will
also be made. The men other than Mr..
Fairchid who will go upon this State tick
ct will be chosen. as Mr.. Fairchild already
has been, by the accordant voices OF the
leaders and followers of the Independent
Democracy Of the State OF New York.
1.-THE financial resources requisite for a
State campaign of the most active charac-
ter will not be wanting, for such a cam
paign will be limited to the wholesome. d.
rect. simple. single and not necessarily ex-
pensive work OF informing and algning the
already aroused, earnest and implacabls
Democratic hosts of independence and re-
form In every county in the State
'.Since the adjournment OF the machine
convention at Saratoga, the new movement
may be said to have organized itself. Re-
form Democrats from all parts Of the State
were in conference the most OF yesterday
and have been in conference to-day in New
York with Chas. S. Fairchild. Edward NJ.
Shepard, Oswald Ottendorfer, Carl Schurz
and other representative reform democrats.
among whom have been those responsibly
connected with leading metropolitan news
papers upon the situation OF affairs as
they are. Ex-Mayor Grace arrived from
Europe last night and took part in the con-
ference then going on, as he has also taken
part in those going on to-day. The lead
ers were at first hesitant about the ex-
tent to which opposition to the Hill-Murphy
machine might or should CO. In less than
a day they found that IL they did not lead
their followers their followrs would run
over them and they did not propose to be
run over.
"Advices from every one OF the election
district organizations of the State Democ-
racy in New York and of the Independent
Democracy in Kings county, as well as
from the organizations known as the Cleve-
land Democracy, in Troy. Rochester. Buff
falo, Oswego and other cities, were unani-
mously to the effect that the plain people
have put their war paint on and are de-
termined to occupy no position of merely
passive objection in the politics of thiz
year.
There will not be a complete State
ticket. with complete State committee OF
representatives of each congressional dis
trict. but there will be Independent Demo-
cratic nominations for local offices in all
these cities. as well as like nominations
for the Assembly in various counties.
'Tt is tco late, under the law. to hold
State convention in a formal sense. Time
enough exists, however. for the assem-
blage of conference and for what is
called a ticket by petition or application.
The conference of independent and reform
Democrats will meet toward the last of
next week or the first OF the week fol-
lowing, probably in Syracuse or New
York"
