JACKSON, Miss. Nov. 9th, 1885

Col. r. G.. PowERs, CHAIRMAN, &C.:
Sir :--On the 9th instant l submitted a
proposition that joint discussions as first
arranged between Judge Dent, Gen. Alcorn,
Gen. Lowry and Judge Morris be continued
until the election.
Your reply of yesterday was received last
evening declining to accept it. The mutual
agreement of Judge Dent and Gen. Alcorn
at Holly Springs to leave the appointments
then pending to attend to their private
affairs does not Justify your inference that
the former will lot continue the discussions.
Nor are you warranted in declining the in
vitation to arrange another list on that as
sumption. / therefore urgently renew the
proposition. The plan originally agreed
upon was acceptable TO your Committee and
Gen. Acorn.
If you will not consent to make a new list
In the arrangement of which both parties
can be consulted, | beg to be informed if you
will make a fair division of time with our
candidates at the appointments which you
say have already been made for yours, so
that the representatives of the two parties
may be heard at the same time by the same
audiences.
1t is customary for the convenience of
both parties that they be consulted in ma
king Joint appointments, but that no obsta-
cles to free discussion shall exist, we are
willing to suspend this rule in the present
instance if by no other method joint discus
Sions in which your candidate for Governor
shall be party, can be had.
My letter contained no proposition for a
separate list of appointments for Gen. Low
nv and Judge Morris. It was distinctly TO
continue the arrangement already entered
into; and is now repeated with the pledge
that our representatives will attend the ap-
pointments of Gen. Alcorn and others ii q
fair discussion is allowed, provided you will
not accept the invitation to make new list.
Respectfully, &c.

JACKSON, MISS, Nov. 8, 1869.


Mr.. A. G. FISK, Chm, &C.
Sir: Owing to my absence from the city,
your letter of the 9Th inst, delivered by Mr..
III. Barksdale, of the Clarion, requesting a
new list of appointments for joint discus
sion between Judge Dent and Gen. Alcorn,
was not received until this morning.
I have the honor to say in reply, that as
information has reached our Committee that
Judge Dent has abandoned the joint ap-
pointments already made for him, and Will
probably not return to the canvass before
the election, Gen. Alcorn is left free to re-
spond to some of the many calls of his fell
low-citizens from every part of the State,
who are anxious to hear from him, and a
number of new appointments have already
been made extending to the election.
Your proposition to make a new list OF
appointments for joint discussion between
Judge Morris and General Lowry is accept
ed, aud | will meet you or your representa-
tive, at your earliest convenience, in order
that the proposition may be Immediately
carried into effect.
