To Enter a Joint Debate With
Henry s. Walker.
HIS CHALLENGE PLAINLY MADE,
And the Great and Mighty Champion Plahy
Refuses.
WALKER SPEAKS At HUNTINGTON,
But Nathan Doesn't Show Up-He il
Plainly Afraid TO Enter the Con-
tsSt-NOw Maybe He'll Want
to Tackle Billy Wilson,
and Asybs Not

Immediately after his nomination for
Governor General Goff loudly proclaimed
that he was willing to meet any champion
Democracy might send against him. The
challenge made 10 his Charleston address
WIS sweeping and comprehensive. The
quality Of General GOf's boasts has al
ready been tested once at Hinton. by Hon
Henry S Walker, who requested an op-
portunity to reply in q joint debate to at
tacks General GOii had made upon him.
Then the Republican demigod hid himself
under the wing of the Republican commit
tee and refused to come forth and make
COED in Walkers presence the assertions
he was so free with in his absence. The
Republican press was loud in declaring it
was q put up job. Their own Nathan
would never flee from any man. But Mr..
Golf is not to be let off 30
easily. Again. at Huntington, Mt.
Walker repeats his challenge to a
Joint discussion and again he takes refuge
bshind the ever convenient committee.
Mr.. Gotf evidently didn't know what he
was inviting when he said he would meet
any Democratic champion. If he was
sincere why don't he accept Mr.. Walkers
standing challenge? He will accommo'
dats him in joint debate at any time and
at any place.
But Mr.. GOff was not sincere. He did
no desire or intend to be drawn into q
controversy with one so clearly his supe-
rior. Ii he meets Henry s. Walker, or
any of half dozen other Democratic ora
tors on the stump, it will only be because
hs is forced to il, and when he does meet
one of them, it will take the whole Repub-
liean party in West Virginia to find and
gather bis remains.
The following dispatch from Huntington
explains itself:
SPECIAL 7tL<gram TO tie Rrclstc,.
HUNTINGTON, W. VA, September l2.-
Hon. Henry s Walker addressed an i'm
mense crowd of people of both parties at
the Opera House in this city last evening.
General GOf' having been announced to
speak here this week, the Young Mems
Democratic Club sought to effect arrange
ment with the Republicans for a joint dis
eussion between Mr.. Walker and General
Cot. The republican Club here referred
the matter to the State Committee, who
peremptorily refused to accede to the re-
quest.
Mr. Walker made the bsst of
this refusal, on the part OF the
Republicans, and proceeded to dis
sect General Goff in the most artistic man
ner. Hls speech throughout was relent-
lsss exposure Of the weakness OF the Repuh-
lican claims to public favor and grand
defense OF the Democratic candidates snd
platform.
Republicans are guyed on every hand
for Gof7s failure to meet Walker and are
fsarfully discouraged.

1t is noteworthy that the First National

the bank on which the check was drawn,
