SENATOR Faulkner, chairman of the
Democratic congressional committee,
went to New York the other day to
look over the ground In that State, and,
in an interview, expressed the opinion
that there has been more remarkable
change in the situation within forty
days than in any other forty days in
the history of the country. AT the
beginning of this period everything
looked blue enough. Now believe
we shall have good working majority
in the next House. The revival OF
business following the passage of the
tariff bill has been marvellous, and
with it has come the knowledge to
business men and citizens generally
that it was to the Mckinley bill that
the country owed its long lack of trade
and prosperity"
