SENATOR FAULKNgR'S EXPLANATION

or the Landslide of Tuesday-Hard
Times and Party DissensiORs Caused It.
Bury the Pat aud Prepare for 1896.
WASHINGTON, d. c.. November T.
Senator Faulkner, Chairman OF the
Democratic Congressional Campaign
Committee, was asked to-day for an ex-
preston OF opinion on the result OF the
election.
81 don't desire to 60 into discussion
of the causes leading to the tidal wave
which has placed the Republicans in
power again in the House" he re-
marked.
But [ think it is proper TO note that
these evidences Of popular approval in
the election of so large majority or q
party TO the control OF the House is not
evidence of chance by the voter OF his
political principles. >"
The history of politics will show,
continued the Senator, THAT every
landslide is the result of dissatisfaction.
discomfort aud want Of confidence OF
the members OF the majority party,
whose action produces the resnlt that
surprises aud astoEishes the people
not by voting the opposite ticket but
by simply remaining from the polls.
The results of this election when sscer-
talned will, l am sure, verify this con-
clusion. We have as many voters In
the country as we bad in '92. who be-
lieve in the principles of the Democrat
ic party, but the recent business paral-
ysis. financial stringency, economic
legislatiou-whose benefits have not
been developed-party dissenslons,
ordinations aud recimations have re-
suited in such apathy as to cause the
stay-at-home vote TO produce the sur
prising result of yesterday. That is my
honest judgment. II we hope for sue
cess in '96, we should maintain with
fearlessness and determination the at
titude we assumed in '92, let personal
and party chickering's of he past bury
their dead and unite in an earnest effort
TO harmonic those differences which
have so seriously affected our organiza-
ton"
"To what do you attribute the result
# in West Virginia." inquired the re-
porter.
The same causes that have affected
and influenced the voters throughout
the country, which l have already
enumerated TO you," he replied.

If these claims are realized, IL will
