SYRACUSE. Sept. l7.-An address to
the Democrats OF the State has been
issued by the committee appointed at
the recent conference at Albany. The
address declares strongly against fu-
sion. 1t states the Independence
League has asked the support of men
from both parties, and that petition
was made by the Democratic wing Of
the league to confer with the Demo
Gratis with a view of fusion. The state
ment declares that fusion means sac
rifce of political principles in order to
secure temporary victory and always
is, and must be, a shameful failure. 1t
goes. on to say that there is no rea-
son why the Democratic party should
fuse. 1t has principles and plenty of
men and the party should not submit to

clares the party must fight the fight Of
the people against corporations and cor

fight if it destroys itself by merger
into another party. The assertion is
made that if the party is kept true in
its course, it is on the eve of great
victory. 1--WE have the chance of gen.
