NEW YORK, Oct "a third State tick
ct has been put in the field by the Democ-
racy Of Kings county, and 1t is expected
1t will be indorsed by the independent DEM
ocrats throughout the State. The ticket
presents as the candidate of the anti-Hill
Democracy for Governor Everett p. Wheel
er, Of New York city, and indorses the
candidacy OF the regular Democratic nom-
inees for Lieutenant Governor and Judge
of the Court of Appeals-Daniel n. Lock
wood and Charles F. Brown. After having
decided upon it's candidates, Mr.. ,Shepard's
committee nominated Hon. Charles S. Fair
child for chairman Of the campaign COM
mittee
The ticket was nominated shortly after 6
o'clock this evening by committee COM
posed of Charles b. Patterson, Thomas G.
Shearman, George r. Peabody. Michael E.
O'Connor r. r. Bowker, Richard S. Ran
sey, ]. w. Green, S. Perry Sturgis and
Charles L. Ricardi. r. B. Mcintyre had
been named as one Of the committee, but
declined to serve. The committee was ap-
pointed by Edward H. Shepard as result
of a meeting of Shepard delegates to the
Saratoga convention. That meeting was
held last night, and the committee called
for the resolutions. which were adopted
without opposition. AS the Shepardites are
said to have received assurances that their
nominee for Governor will accept, all that
remains to be done to make the ticket the
regular choice of the third party is to Sc
cure the signatures OF 5000 persons as In
dorsers of the candidates and to file these
with the Secretary of State on or before
Oct. 16 On this showing the Secretary of
State will issue the order for the printing
of the third-party ballots. Mr.. Shepard
says the three candidates will accept their
nominations.
The platform adopted begins with COM
plaint against the Saratoga convention for
unseating the Shepard delegates. The plat
form then advocates personal and religious
liberty, denounces 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 con-
vention has sought to perpetuate in the
legislation Of the State a gerrymander ap-
portlonment contrary to the principles Of
representative and Democratic govern
mant We blame for this danger to De-
mocracy, David Il. Hill. whNse political
short-sightedness in forcing the nomination
of Maynard, threw the convention as we'll
as the Legislature. into the hands of the
minded Republicans, with whom we voted
against Maynard, to vote with US against
this unjust and partisan appointment. We
favor home rule in cities, separate munich
pal elections, the suppression of bosses and
rings and the business administration of
municipalities"

olutions were adopted condemning David
Il. Hill and the Democratic organization

well attended and was presided over by

the Saratoga platform. and We request all
good Democrats not to vote for him.

ic Club hail with delight the nomination of
an independent ticket, and that this club
and all good Democrats refuse to submit
10 the dictation of bossism."

with the sentiment contained therein and
il was adopted. a second resolution adopt
ed at the meeting was one for the appoint-
ment OF a committee to confer with other
Democrats regarding harmony in the con-
gressional and Assembly nominations.
