HARMONY IN NEW YORK
Counseled by the Congress
sional Committee - An
Appeal to Voters.

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-The following
appeal was issued today at the Demo-
cratic state headquarters in the Park
Avenue hotel by Senator Charles 5.
Faulkner, chairman Of the Democratic
congressional campaign committee:
Forty days ago. by reason of the dis
satisfaction at the slow action of con-
gress in passing tariff bill, and a very
general misunderstanding of the char
acler of the bill which was ultimately
passed, we had but little hope of carry
ing majority of the Fiftyfourtb con-
gress. The political improvement of
the situation in the interests of Dem
ocracy during that brief period, how
ever, has been marvellous. A better
understanding of the provisions of the
law, and 4 realization of the necessity
for enabling the party to redeem its
pledges, and to hold up the hands of the
Democratic administration during the
next two years, has stopped the bicker-
ings which were dividing its councils,
and harmOniZed the facti0nal trouble i'll
its organization to such an extent that
the prospects are now bright, with a
united and aggressive party, to hold a
fair working majority in the next con-
gress. To ac complish this, however. we
can afford to have no divisions which
tend to separate and disintegrate our
forces.
You eau. therefore, fully appreciate
the anxiety which feel i'll reference to
the recent action in this city in the NOM
ination of eight of the districts of two
Democratic candidates. In estimating
our ability to maintain Il working na-
jority, we have necessarily counted
upon the New York Democracy giving
US the full number of members we have
in the present house. Ii we fail i'll
realizing this. it is questioned whether
1t will be possible to
Maintain Our Supremacy
in the national legislature. These dl,
visions in New York City are not only
dangerous from the standpoint of losing
a majority of members in this state, but
the moral effect upon the country dis
tlicts OF the Union will be exceedingly
diseouraging. 1t will tend to shake the
hope and paralyZe the energies of the
party in its earnest effort to sink all
personal feelings and factional antagon-
isms in the interests of common
cause. Whatever may be the differences
which may divide the party upon local
issues there can be and should be no
excuse for division on national lines.
The supremacy of the national Demo
cratic organization should not be I'M
peried that local results may be pro-
| NOTED or local reform encouraged. !
believe | voice the sentiment of our
Democracy when l insist that union and
harmony on congressional nominations
should be the first consideration of the
patriotic Democracy of this city.
This is question which not only
! fleets the control of the next house, but
| may endanger and imperil the suprema,
cy of the national party in the election
| of 1896.
To-day the state of New York, if the
election was 10 be passed upon by the
house, would cast its vote for Demo-
crat to occupy the presidential chair.
Nineteen OF the thirty-four votes are
Democratic. The loss Of two congress
men in this state would give the vote in
1897 of the state of New York to Re-
publican for president, should the con-
tingency occur in which the election of
that Office was thrown into the house.
For these reasons. charged as l have
been by the party in conducting the
campaign for congressional candidates.
l appeal to all the elements, factions
and divisions of the party to unite and
harmonize on the congressional tickets,
and to do no act which will tend to
| weaken and endanger the national su-
premacy of our party"
