appointed by Edward NJ. Shepard, as
result of a meeting of Shepard dele
gates to the Saratoga convention. That

which were adopted without opposition.
As the Shepardites are said TO have Sc
lurcd assurances that their nominee for

20 be done to make the ticket the reg
llar choice OF the third party is to Sc
cure the signatures of 5000 persons as

He is senior member of the firm of

N this city. He has also been one of
he member of the civil service COM
mission.
He was chairman of the New York
Civil Service Reform association. He
was member of the New York board
of education from 1850 to 1887. He was
gne of the original founders of the old

the members of the committee or l00
which organized the New York state
Democracy, and he is member of the
present committee of seventy. For five
years he was the president of the New
York Free Trade club.
The platform adopted begins with a
complaint against the Saratoga conven-
ton for unseating the Shepard dele
gates. The platform then advocates
personal ana religious liberty. de-
IiouDces the Republican party as the
tool OF trusts, and declares for tariff
reform, free coal and free ores. 1t goes
on then as follows:
The constitutional convention has
sought to petrify in the legisla ton of the
state gerrymander rapportioument con-
trary to the principles of representative
and Democratic government. We blame
this danger to Democracy to David B.
Hill, whose political short-sighted-
ness in forcing the nomina>
tion of Maynard threw the
convention, as we'll as the legislature,
into the hands of our political
opponents; and we ask fair-Ininded
Republicans with whom we voted
against Maynard to vote with US against
this unjust and partisan apportionment.
We favor home rule in cities. separate
municipal elections. the suppression of
rings and the business administration
of municipalities.
