FAULKNER ASKS
FOR HARMONY
New York Democrats Appealed to in
the Interest of Democratic
Supremacy.
INDEPENDENTlSM DEPLORED.
Democrats Who Differ on Local Issues
Asksd to stale Their Differences
When It Contes to Choosing
Their Congtetsmen.
New Torlc, Oct. 16.—The following
appeal was Issued today at the Demo
cratic state headquarters. In the Park
Avenue hotel, hy Senator Faulkner,
chairman of the Democratic congres
sional campaign committee:
"Forty days ago, by reason of the
dissatisfaction at the slow action of
congress In passing a Itarlft bill, and ta
very general misunderstanding of the
character of the bill which was ulti
mately passed, we hall but little hope
of carrying a majority In the Fifty-
fourth congress. The political improve
ment of the situation in the interest
of Democracy during that brief «perlod,
however, has been marvellous. A
better understanding of the provisions
of the l.w land a. realisation of tie
fact that united action Is essential In
order to enable the party to redeem its
pledges and to hold up the hands of 'the
Democratic administration during the
next two years has stopped 'the W'k-
crlngB which were dividing Its coun
sels and harmonised the factional trou
ble In Its organisation >to such an ex
tent that the prospects are now bright,
wih a united and aggressive party, to
hold a fair working majority In the
next house. To accomplish this, how
ever, we can afford to have no divisions
■which tend to separate and disinte
grate ohr forces. You can therefore
fully apreclate the anxiety which I
feel in reference to the recent action
In thl3 city In the nomination In eight
of the districts of two Democratic can
didates. In estimating our ability to
maintain a working majority we have
necessarily counted upon the New York
Democracy giving us She full number
of members iwe have in the present
house. If we fill In realising this, it is
questionable whether It will be po3slb!e
to maintain our supremacy In the na-
11op.il legislature..
"These divisions In New York are
not only dangerous from the stand
point of losing a majority of members
in this state, hut the moral effect upon
the country, districts of New York nnq
oth’r sections of the Union will b»
exceedingly discouraging. It 1 will tend
to rhake the hope and paralyse the en
ergies of .the party In Its earnest ef
forts 'to sink all personal feelings and
fac-ICnal antagonism In the Interest of
a common cause. Whatever -may be
the differences which may divide the
party upon local Issues there ora 'be
and should be no excuse for a division
on national lines. The supremacy Of
the national •Democratic organization
should not be Imperilled that local
results may be promoted or local re
forms encouraged. '
“•I believe I voice the sentiment off
our national Democracy when I Insist
«hslt union and harmony on congres
sional nomination should _ be the first
consideration of the patriotic Dem
ocracy of 'this city. ■
"This Is a question which not only
effects the control of the next house,
but may Imperil 'She
■nnt'onal party In the election of 1836.
"Today the state of Now York, if
tthe election was to he passed by the
house, would oast its vote for a Demo
crat to occupy the presidential dhialr.
Nineteen of its thirty-four vetMM*
Democratic. A loss of two congress
men In thlssta te would give the vote
in 1897 of the state of Now York to
a 'Republican for president, should the
contingency occur so that the office
was thrownl nto the -house of ropre-
reason, charged as I have
been by the. paf ty in conducting the
campaign for congressional candidates.
I appeal to all elements, factions and
divisions of the Democratic
unite and harmonize on the «°ngrcs
sior.al ticket and to do no act which
.will naturally 'tend to weaken and en
danger the naltlonal supremacy of our
party.”
