MR. MUTCHLER DEFENDS MR. RANDALL
MrMutchler said to STAR reporter to-day that a
great injustice was done Mr. Randall when it was
said that he was holding the appropriation bills
back for the purpose OF using them to fight the
tariff measures ''The fact Is" he said. .'that Mr.
Randall is in no way responsible for the delay.
There are great many new members on the COM
mittee and 1t Is through their desire to make a
thorough examination OF the bills before they pass
upon them that the delay is occaSioned. The
bills are not before the whole committed they have
been assigned TO subcommittee, and the delay Is
there. The bills now In pretty good order how
ever, and viii come In promptly"
"Another thing" he continued. cit is false, ut
terly false that Mr.. Randall is leading an opposi-
ton to the Morrison bill He will doubtless vote
against but there is no going to the repubi-
cans Every man on the democratic side will vote
for or against the bill by direction OF his district"
IS 1t likely that the national democratic conven-
ton will declare in favor OF the Morrison tariff
idea?" asked The STAR.
'sThe convention will not declare in favor OF any
rate of reduction. They will not recommend a 20
per cent reduction. They will handle the question
cautiously, and the Ohio platform win form the
basis for their action.
