FAULKNER NOT WORRIED.
lie says the state of Maine Was Conceded
90 the Republicans.

Washington, Sept. l6.-Chairman
Babcock at Republican headquarters.
speaking of the Maine results, said:
1--WE regard the Maine election as in
dicative of the sentiment of the whole
country 1t shows the trend of public
sentiment and insures for Mckinley
all of the states north of Mason and
Dixon's line and east Of the Missouri
river, with a large number of electors
not only south of Mason and Dixon
line, but west of the Missouri river"
Chairman Faulkner of the Democrat
ic congressional committee saw moth
ing startling in the news from Maine
That state had been recognized as Re-
publican, he said and there was no
reason to expect other than large Re-
publican plurality The change in the
state ticket from a gold TO silver one
lust three weeks before the election
and the fact that there had been no
effort on the part of the national or
ganiZation of the silver Democratic
party to control matters i'm the state.
because IL was recognized as clearly
Republican, were factors which the
senator thought proved conclusively
the reason for the large Republican
plurality.
Senator Butler attributed the result
to the disorganized condition OF the
silver Democratic party in the state,
due principally TO the fact that a
change of candidates and platform was
made shortly before the election. Mr.
Butler declined to make any state
| ment as TO the effect the result might
have on the substitution of MIR. Sewal
