Waterbury. Sept a6, 1893.

Eugene Sullivan is provoked over the many rumors that are in circulation con- corning him and the demands for con- feSsion of political faith that have been made upon him by newspaper correspond ents. He called at the DEMOCRAT office this morning and said that he thought the statement he made in Mondays DEMOCRAT covered the whole ground. He reiterated what he said at that time with regard to running an independent ticket, that he is not in that kind of business. II will sup port the regular nominees" said Mir Sul- hvan, and that settles it. I don't like this newspaper notriety and ask you to consider this statement final"

Charles C. COmmerford's Insulting Letter
 to the Democratic Chairman. Perry C. Morris, Esq. Chairman Demo cratic Town Committee.
 Dear Sir:-After what said to you last evening just previous to the meeting. of the convention to nominate town officer am greatly surprised as well as grieved to see by the Republican of this morning that have been nominated for tax collector understood from you that my declaration not to accept the place was considered final and that my name should not be used in such connection. I further said to you in presence of J. W. Mcdonald, the present city sheriff. that would not accept either the nomination or the office, even if Grover Cleveland Mrs Frances Folsom Cleveland baby Ruth and Esther should all come to Waterbury on d special train and in a palace car and tender it to me upon gold plate. You will also remember that par ticularly ask you If you thought my declara- ton decisive enough, and you said you thought it was. I again most positively and peremptorily decline the nomination or the use of my name in any connection and the reasons therefor must be so evident that even he who runs may read.
 Very respectfully yours.

THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE
How Political Capital May be Made Out
 of Mems Poverty. Editor of the DENTOCrAT.

Sir In reply to your article last night in reference to the methods that should be adopted in order to pay of the workmen at the "BrInch." when they receive their orders, let me state that think the only method and the correct one k that the auditor of the city should have sufficient money to meet those bills. It has been customary for the auditor to present an order signed by the city clerk and receive any necessary money. but understand this is not done under the present govern ment. am also informed on pretty good authority that our mayor is making poli- tiSal capital out of the existing state of affairs by paying the men who have these orders out of his own pocket.
 Respectfully Yours

Work for Everyone

How can We find employment for the people who are compelled to live on short al lowance? By extending water pipes on the new streets, that you contemplate laying water pipes when you get the new water supply. or replacing the old cement pipes with iron. that you will be compelled to do next summer. This can be done without laying special tax. because the city has power to borrow a half million dollars to furnish the people with water.
 KELLY says to the Common Council, You can put every idle man in Waterbury working tomorrow. because you have the money and the work to do. and you will bring comfort to many fresides that have been wrecked by the present hard times"
 What KELLY has on hand to-day: 6,995 Barrels of Flour. or enough to feed the town of Naugatuck for l2 months.
