CAMPAIGN IN THE STATE THIS FALL

active sympathy with the newly organized Lib

party that Mr.. Johnson's money will pay the
expenses of the Liberal party's campaign in this
State next fall. 1t is said to be Mr.. Johnson
plan to keep the Democrats from uniting under
the leadership of ex-senator Hill by building VI
the new Liberal party in this State. To block
Hill the Liberals will organize this summer in
all the counties of the State and on June at
Cooper Union in this city, they will meet in
State convention to adopt platform. The
New-York Liberals are in favor of nominating
either William s Ram or NJ. Fillmore Brown,
of Buffalo for Governor. Both are young
Democratic lawyers.

mitted yesterday that most of it was coming
from the friends OF Tom l. Johnson
