WHAT OTHER LEADERS SAY.


John P. Feeney, in speaking of the Iu-
County Committee. or whas is
now more tamiliarly called the Roche's
fall Independents, said: 'As a commit
tee. it may be considered q fine body OF
men. But to what end are they working?
What can they accomplish In looking
over the list. l find that the gentlemen
are all democrats. good democrats, who,
I presume, have the Interests of the party
at heart. l say such gentlemen cannot,
and should not be ignored. don't ap-
prove the plan of opposition taken by
them. but I do believe that.if 1t was zone
about in the proper manner, a reconcilia-
tton could be effected.
Sat the last mseting OF the Central
Democratic COMMITTEES I suggested that a
committee be appointed to meet with a
committee from this new organization
with a view to ascertaiuing il in some
way a settlement might not be reached.
an a9reement whereby the interests OF
the party should be consolidated. My
proposition was voted down. but I still
think it a good one.
st must be remembered in times like
this that every man has Eve or six friends
over whom he wieids a little in
fuence and those five or six have FIVE or
six mora friends and so it goes and the
sooner. / maintain, that something is
done to please and satisfy all these the
better it will be for the Democratic
party.
CALL UPON THE STATE COMMITTEE.

JERSEY CITY NEWS. Call upon the State
Committee inc at once and have over

Democrats must be drawn together now
and have the party's interests made a
common interest or there will be re.
grets."
Prior to interviewing Mr.. Feeney I had
learned that the Provisional Com
mittee. appointed by the Central
Committee. had been endowed with more
power than has yet been disclosed. Not

mittee to conduct primaries for the cleo.

gether, and call upon the State Com-
mittee to formulate a plan for the reor-
ganization OF the party throughout the
State.
Iasked Mr.. Feeney concerning this,
and he replied that it was so.
And" said he. 81 hope the State
Committee is appealed to. It will have a
better and more satisfactory effect. Dis
ruption cannot prevail If victory is to be
secured.
A FORMIDABLE COMMITTEE.
"This new committee is a formidable
one. I know all of the gentlemen III 1t,
and for my part I say rhey are good men.
