FAIRcHILDs 113 was In session in the lee
ture room Of the Reform Club from P. NJ
| on Monday until the Cuckoos sounded the
note OF midnight and departure. discussing
and celebrating upon Great ScoTT's pro-
posed new method for organization and for
holding together tho 113. Great ScorT
submitted typewritten draft OF the plan
OF campaign TO his sangulne and coura-
geous associates. who have In view these
simple but sufficient objects and projects:
i. To reorganize and regenerate the Dem
ocratic party OF the State OF New York by
turning out OF authority all It's present
chieftains. and placing its leadership In
the control OF non-votlng Mugwumps Of
the PRcKHAN and HORSEPOWER variety.
ii. The knocking out, In one round. Of the
ancient and powerful organization of Tam
many Hall. through the medium OF q
straight ticket to be headed. 1t Is begin
ming to be rumored. by Great SooTT In per-
son. as candidate for Mayor
III. A persistent prosecution OF the bat
tie for tarif reform. ballot reform. civil SER
vice reform. and dress reform. by circular
and pamphlet,
~. The complete restoration TO popu-
iarity OF the present national Admins
tration. through an educational canvass,
whereby the people will be appealed to by
Cuckoo orators. as Mr.. THOMAS G, SHEARMAN
appealed recently to the residents OF the
city OF Gloversville. but with better success
than he met with. as 1t is hoped.
Great Scorrs method OF Organization,
as submitted. provides for a combination of
the election district and Assembly district
plans. Primaries are TO be held In each
election district, and all State Aid or Cuckoo
Democrats, II there are any discoVerable In
such districts. will be entitled to vote. In
each election district two or three delegates
TO district committee will be chosen. This
district committee will elect several repre-
sentatives to a county committee, the num-
ber depending ON the size OF the vote OF the
election district. The basis OF representa-
tonln both the county committee and the
county convention will be that OF the total
vote cast at the Presidential election of
1892. when Mr.. CLEVELAND secured the suf-
frages OF I75.OO0 electors In New York. some
1850 OF whom are now banded together In
indissOluble union under the ensign of Mr..

they need Is a suitable plan OF Organization.
II there Is any strong point about the State
Aid Democracy. 1t Is the skill Of its members
TO devise. months In advance of an election,
plans OF campaign warranted to win at
short range. and to throw the strategic
maneuvres OF the late JOIN PHOENIX com
Dletely into the shade.
For such labors Great .SooTF is. from past
experience as a MayOralty candidate, the
best qualified Individual in the whole lls.
He knows the voters; they know him. He
has met them on the platform. and they |
have recorded their estimate OF his qualih- |
cations by eleeting his opponent. HUGH j. |
