Duluth Correspondent Writes
a Letter, but His Heart
Is Right.
ST. PAUL DEMOCRATS SOUND.
Care Nothing for the Commit
tee Differences--They Are
for Cleveland.

Mr.. Cutcheon has a word to say in
reply to the statement of ID. w. LAWYER
and other members of the Democratic
state committee concerning the failure
of the committee 10 pass the resolution
indorSing Cleveland and the house and
his reason for resigning.
n Duluth correspondent has also
word to say, somewhat hasty, however,
upon the subject.
a number of st. Paul Democrats were
interviewed yesterday, none of whom
cared to enter into the controversy of
members of the state committee. AS to
the merits of that controversy nobody
seemed TO care. The entire expression
was in favor of Cleveland ana the pol
icy of the Chicago platform.
The words from Mr.. Cutcheon and
the Duluth correspondent, together
with few expressions from st. Paul
Democrats, follow.
Mr. CutcheOn's Letter.
To the Editor of the GLOBE.
ST. PAUL. Mimi, Aug. 4, 1S94.-In
view of statements contained in the
pronunciamento concerning the late
meeting of the Democratic state COM
mittee, that is signed by certain men,
berS of the committee, and published
this morning, wish to say this:
First-1 have made no statement
whatever in public, or, think. in pri-
Vate, of the occurrences at that meeting.
Second-Since, however. certain UNI
designated. 'mlsleading and unbound
ed statements are ascribed to me, and
Mr.. Smalley is alleged to have been my
authority for them, l desire it to be
known that my information concerning
the introduction and defeat of the Law
ler-Smalley tariff resolution was derived
originally from d. w. Lawler. VINO
signs this manifesto. Mr.. LAWYERS
account was afterwards confirmed by
Mr.. Smalley. Both accounts CORE
sponded substantially with that con-
tanned in yesterday mornings GLOBE.
Third-As to whether l should have
considered the committees refusal to
recommend the proposed plan of reor-
ganiZation. in itself sufficient ground
for the course l took. do not know.
That would have depended on the ap-
parent animus OF the committees action,
with reference to which had as little
information as l now have doubt. The
defeat of the tariff resolution was the
direct cause of my decision; the reiec-
tion of the plan of reorganization, per-
haps, bit in and fixed that determine.
ton.
FOurth-As to the character of the
plan, whatever else il may have been, it
was essentially Democratic. But il will
be useless TO discuss that unless the
committee rescinds lis action, and
permits the plan to be published. Very
truly yours. F. W. NJ. CUTCHEoN.
A Word From Duluth.

DULUTH, Aug. 3, 1S94.-How can
Democrats be enthused and Kept within
ranks with such men as Rand, of Min
neapolis. and those that voiced his
sentiments being entrusted with the
management Of the Democratic cam
paign? 1t is SO humiliating and disgust
Ing to see such narrow minded Wen in
command. 10 cater to few PopuliStS,
to fish for votes, these men would cast
severe reflections on our gallant presi-
dent. who today from every source,
from his political enemies, is receiving
nothing but thanks and words of praise
for his fearlessness during the late strike
1t is only the Debs- Pennoyer- Waites
and lesser lights of that school, who
through ignorance of the duty of a
president,or blinded by narrow minded
prejudice that are condemning the
president. Mr.. Winston prefers to cast
reflection on the house and the preSi-
dent to casting reflection on the holy
senate. don't know this Winston, but
he had better retire, but far opposite
reasons have actuated the actions of
Mr.. SmalleY-who is an honest man
and Democrat, and his friends and
party should be proud of him-and If
Messrs. Rand. Johnson and VIM
ston, of Minneapolis, have such
friendly feeling for the
Democrats who are Populists.
Rand says Cant see how they
can be bOth), let them re-
sign from the party they
have been traitors to and join the gang
OF Populists who have Debs. Waite and
Pennoyer for ideals. This putting in
ward politicians for party captains gives
Us what we ought to expect. 1t Is vote
getting at the sacrifice OF principle. In
