NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-Under date of
November 18th Congressman j. D.
Warner wrote to Senator Carlisle in ref
erence to Congressman Mills candidacy
Tor the Speakership, saying, in part, that
he recognized the strength of Mills claim,
based not only on his record. but the fact
that 'every Democratic member of Con-
gresS whom / know in favor of relegat-
ing tariff reform to the rear is opposed to
Mr.. Mills" is, however, asserted says
Mr.. Warner, that Mills is untitled by
temperament to make dignified and eff
tectlve presiding officer. Warner begged
Carlisle's opinion on the subject.
Senator Carlisle, in reply, refutes the
assertion. and says he is sure if Mills is
elected no one will ever have just cause
to complain of his demeanor or general
course on political questions.
Referring to the unfortunate disposition
in some quarters to subordinate the cues
ton of tariff reform to others less i'm
portant TO the people and dangerous to
the harmony and success of the Demo-
cratic party, the Senator says: Upon the
tariff question we are practically united
While upon the silver question, and per-
maps upon some others, there are wide
anu hOiICSU d1llSI6JlCSS O1 opinion among
the mbers of our party, which can ONLY
be reconciled by patient deliberation.
| Why shall we, on the eve of a great ma
tlonal contest, when victory is almost
within our grasp, abandon or ignore a
vital issue upon which we are united
and waste strength III a fruitless contro-
yersy over questions which can better be
adjusted after it has been determined
what part of their own earnings the peo-
pie shall be permitted to keep. The first
duty of the Democratic party is to change
the laws under which the earnings of the
people are taken away from them by un-
just taxation for private purposes, and
whoever proposes to postpone the per-
formance of this duty in order to inaugu-
rate among ourselves war over the sill
yer question, or any other, is not wise
counselor, and would not make a safe
leader
