BUFFALO, Oct. S.-The Independence
League In Erie county has cut loose from
the Democracy. Ii has named a complete
independent Congress-. Senate, Assembly
and county ticket, on which only five OF the
Democratic nominees are accepted. None
of the Democratic nominees for county
offices is accepted, and the league leaders
are preparing for a hard fight in every dis
trict in city and county
Hearst lie billed 20 speak here M-morrcw
night at Convention Hall, the scene OF that
riotous State convention. Chairman Coats
worth of the Democratic general committee
was asked tonight II he would send a COM
mittee 10 escort Mr.. Hearst from Rochester
to this city. A hard look came into his
| eyes as he replied:
Il have not been notified that Mr.. Hearst
Is coming to Buffalo. The Democratic
organization has not been 30 notified
Other Democrats who. like Mr.. Coats
worth, wera opposed to having the Demo-
cratic party made the tail OF the Indepen-
dence Leagues kite, as II was in the recent
State convention, were more outspoken.
Hearst speaking here under the aus
pices OF the League is an insult to he Demo-
cratic party and will cost him thousands Of
votes" said one Of them. 1T was bad
enough for the party to play second fiddle
to the Independence League IN the S.ate
convention, but to have Hearst deliberately
ignore the Democratic party in the second
city in size in the State, by making his nrst
appearance here under he auspices OF a
little clique OF political guerrillas Is an out
rage"
All day to-day Secretary Zenger OF the
Democratic general committee was kept
busy explaining that the Hearst meeting
tomorrow night is not going to be Demo
cratic meeting. This announcement from
him was received with varying emotions
by those to whom he handed IL. Among
Mr.. Zenger's callers was a Democratic
general committeeman from one OF the
towns.
Il want some tickets for the Hearst meet
ing tomorrow night, said he.
Il haven't any" said Mr.. Zenger. That
meetings notN going to be a Democratic
meeting. The Independence League crowd
is going to hold il. II you want tlckets
you'll have to go down to the Leagues
headquarters in EllicOtt Square and get
them"
-Tll see them in -- before III ask them
for any tickets" exclaimed the iTate COM
mitteeman. What kind Of a mixup are
we in, anyway? Here the Democratic
party nominates a man for Governor and he.
the first pop out Of the box. comes here TO
speak under the auspices OF that crowd
Of fourfushers. hasbeens and political
outcasts."
Il am against Mr.. Hearst and / don't
care who knows IT," said Attorney Moses
Shire to-day. Il am going to vote Tor
Charles 4. Hughes, and know hundreds
OF other Old-time Democrats in the city
who are going TO do the same. Hearst IL
not a Democrat. He is a d~emagogue Of the
worst types No Democrat can stomach
him. He appeals to the lowest passions
of the voters and il bent upon stirring up
strife and sedtion among the masses IN
order to subserve his monumental vanity
He is not sincere in a single utterance or in
any attitude. He has hown himself the
basest political trickster and the most
corrupt politician in his dealings with the
Buffalo convention while hypocritically
prating Of his political purity and OF his
honesty in politics. l am not afraid to
let the people Of Buffalo know how l regard
him. There are others ~ much, against
him a. / am who do not care, however,
to let it he known where they stand. But
Won watch the returns on election night
and YOU will zee the Wholesale reputation
Of this demagogue by Democrats who
have any regard left for the honor Of Democ-
racy and the fair name of the State OF New
VI York
