we propose to settle the controversy By

You say, Mr.. Jackson, that the follow

with the desire TO rid the State OF our ire'
and normal schools ia untrue, that yot
never uttered the language imputed to yor
therein, and that you now brand the

are charged with uttering:

The trouble with the Democratic candi-
date for Governor is, as We have already
indicated. that he is great big lump OF
coarseness and prejudice, and, for man
in his position, quite ignorant OF the
Issues OF the day. He ought 10 be kept at
