STILL GROVER CARES.
Getting Anxious About the Next
House.
He Seems to Take a Great Interes ST
in the Congressional
Campaign.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-SenatOr Faux
ner. chairman of the Democratic Con-
gressional campaign committee, to-day
made a statement with reference 10 his
recent call upon the President, al which
the political situation was talked over
''As chairman Of the Congressional COM
mittee | called upon the President" SAID
MIR. Faulkner. During the Interview /
conveyed 10 him all the Information L h d
in reference to the Congressional contest
throughout the country and the prospects
of the Democratic party IN the various
States. Our conversation was confined TO
the outlook in the impending Congressional
elections and | found the President. as a.
ways in previous conversations involving
tile Democratic party, manifesting the
deepest concern in the information | COM
nun icated and in the hopes | expressed
for our success in maintaining a Demo
cratic majority in the Fifty-fourth Con-
gress.
''He impressed me in that interview as
having the same earnest and sincere inter-
est in the result of the election, which has
always characterized his utterances in the
interest OF Democratic principles when
they were on trial before the people of this
country. He clearly indicated hat he was
satisfied with the direction given the cam-
paign bv the Congressional committee, in
earnestly and intelligently bringing before
the voters the results of the Democratic
action IN the endeayor of Congress to re-
deem Democratic pledges or course the
tariff law as passed Is not in accordance
with his views of the pledges o. the party
in lis declaration at Chicago. But as he
has already stated, what has been done
will certainly tighten many tariff burdens
that now rest heavily upon the people,
and he seemed to fully approve the course
of the committee in drawing the contrast
between the onernus and burden ONE
actions of tue Mckinley bill, and the re-
du"tjon made by the existing laws; ap-
rro wing fully the presentation by the COM
mittee, as shown in its campaign book as
we'll as in its other literature of the differ
ence in the condition of the treasury under
his former administration and that of ais
successor, Mr.. Harrison, and the deplor-
bic condition of the treasury when turned
over to him by his predecessor.
You car rest assured / express my
honest judgment when l say that from my
conversation with the President no man
takes deeper interest In the success of
the Democratic party 10 the present CAM
Daign ana the anxiety If the committee to
return a majority to the Fifty-fourth Con-
gress than President Cleveland
The Democratic Congressional Committee
to-day rereiyed letters from every Con-
gressional district IN California. The
tenor OF these reports show that the
Democrats of California have an almost
hopeless fight on their hands as regards
the State ticket. They cOncede that
English will be defeated in the Third Dis
trict. and that Geary has hard fight in
the First and will probably lose. CANT
netti may pull through in the Second Dis
trct, according TO tn Use advices, and
judge Mcguire will probab y be elected In
the Fifth. Loud and Bowers will both be
returned with chance for Bowman Pop.
