JOINT Discussion IN Rock IsLAND.-The
democratic state committee appointed coun-
ty meeting here on on the 18th of Oct, for
Hon. james c. Robinson, our candidate for
governor in 1864, and the republican state
committee have appointed meeting here, for
Gov. Oglesby, on the same day.
The chairman of ouf county committee, this
morning (the 2Sthl addressed q note to the
chairman of the republican county committee
proposing joint discussion on that day, as
the appointments were, by accident, made
for both on the same day. No answer lat
this wrising-the 2Sth) has been received to
the proposition, except verbal one that it
met the approval of the chairman of the re-
publican county comui,te, and formal ans
would soon be made.
The people would be very glad, generally,
to hear both sides, and q Joint meeting. for
that purpose, would, we think, meet general
approval.
