BETTERS AT BANQUET.
Both Harmon and Fobs Stress Point
That PubBc Power Must be Used
for General Good.
Only two out of siix Democratic
governors-c leet were able to be present
at a banquet given in their honor
by the National Democratic club
of New York at the Waldorf-Astoria
Friday night. John A. Dix of New
York and Eugene N. Foss of Massachusetts
were there, but regrets
were sent by Wood row Wilson of
New Jersey, Judson Harmon of Ohio,
Simon E. Baldwin of Connecticut
and Frederick E. Plaisted of Maine.
Two of the absentees, however,
Messrs. W ilson and Harmon, seni
letters which were read and both
Mr. Dix and Mr. Foss delivered addresses.
Norman E. Mack, chairman of the
Democratic national committee, presided
and seated near him were Richard
Croker, former leader of Tammany
Hall, and Charles F. Murphy,
the present lender.

was too ill to attend. A telegram
was received shortly before the dinner
began that Gov.-elect Baldwin
had an engagement to speak in
Washington.
The letters of Dr. Wilson and Gov.
Harmon were read before any addresses
were delivered. Gov. 1-lar
mon 8 leuer sain :n pari;
"We miiRt justify the confidence bo
signally expressed or the victory at
the polls will not be the cause ot
rejoicing, and we shall not do this
if the conduct of public business falls
below the standard of the campaign.
Mere personal desires, selfish purposes
and importunities for special
favor must be swept aside and all
public authority be employed for the
general vood alone."
Mr. Oix confined himself largely
to an account of New York State developments
and resources. K. N.
Foss, governor-elect of Massachusetts,
said in part:
"I want to say at the outset that
T am a protectionist. The protec- i
lion which I believe in carries wllb
it a large measure of reciprocity. In

The Scramble May Cause Serious Division
Among Democrats.
nilCHT Tft RF niVIDFD
WU1I I M \J f U v ? I av
Vow That the Republicans are Out.
It Appears That There is Much
Jamming and Shoving for Places
at the I'ie Counter by the Democrats.
The Washington correspondent of
the News and Courier says unless
some of the Democratic leaders In
the House shows a disposition to be
more liberal with the Eastern and
N'orthern States in the distribution
>f positions in the next Congress.
there may be a split In the ranks, according
to the belief of some members
Here.
The fact that Representative Livingstone,
of Georgia, wants to be a
candidate for one of the good place*
?either clerk or sergeant-at-arms.
ind that thre.e other Southerners?
I. J. Sinnott, of Virginia, W. F. Dunbar,
of Georgia, and former Congressman
Trimble, of Kentucky, arc
u the fight for doorkeeper, postmaster
and clerk, respectively, leave*
the Democrats from other sections of
the country very little prospect of
getting anything but crumbs.
Viewed from one standpoint, it is
claimed that the men from the South
should be rewarded with the places
that the Republicans will vacate at
the end of the coming session, but,
on the other hand, it is because the
South is the Democratic stronghold:
hut, on the other band, the Democrats,
who are coming from New
York, Indiana, Ohio and other States,
which were formerly represented b.^
Republican majorities, take the position
that this is not right. They
claim that the delegations from the
South will always be Democratic, ex
ocpt in few instances, when two or
kree Republicans set into Congress
for short terms, and that, on the oth:r
hair], the r.oxt 'Congress would
have remained Republican except for
the turn of votes north of Mason and
Dixon's line. Without their aid, i:
is claimed the Republicans would
still control the situation.
This is the situation that is seei !
here now. So far as can he learnenone
of the men from the Southern
Stales, who are candidates for th*positions
mentioned are thinking for
i moment of dividing up with the
Democrats from other sections. Tho>
are making a fight, not only with the
old members who will hold over into
rlie 02d Congress, hut thev are also
whain? n vigorous contest through
their friends to reach those mem>ers
who will come in later.
The same thing holds good with
respect to the committee places thai
rre to he parceled out at the beginning
of the next Congress. The old
Democrats?those, for instance, who
have lie en in harness many years, ar*- j
not disposed to see a general breaking
up of the committees as at pros- ;
mit constituted. Some of them sc**
in the shake up a possibility of their
being pinned low down the list tor |
one reason and another. They claim <
that the new men with no Cong res- !
dona! exjierler.ee, should not he giv- j
en precedence over those who have
ilrea'.v showed their ability. The
incoming Democrats, as in the case
of the positions to he filled, declare
rhat they are as much entitled to j
recognition on the committees as the
old men, because they are responsible
for making too next Ilouse Democrat
ic.
Thus the matter stands. No one
kc.ro seems to know what Is goinj.' i
'o he done, and probably nothing]
tangible will he decided u?ion until
ifter there has been a caucus of all,
