the report in morning paper that he

GORDON READY TOSPEAK
HIs REPLY TO NORWoOD's CHAL-
LBNGE VERY POINTED.

The Senator Advised to Make an An
nouncement of Bis Candidacy Be-
fore He Begins Issuing Challenges
to Joint Debates-The Governor Ex-
plains His Attack.
ATLANTA, GA, Sept 17.-Gov. Gordon's
answer to Senator Norwoodis challenge to
meet him in joint debate is as follows:
ATLANTA, GA, Sept Il, 1890.
To Hon. z. NJ NnriroOd. Sdudnndh, Ga:
DEAR SIR-1 accept, with pleasure, your chal-
lenge for joint debate IL you will, frankly and
publicly, announce yourself candidate for the
Senate. Your interview led the country to un-
derstand that you are anxious to be
elected while unwi ling to declare your candi-
oaoy. You must perceive the manifest inequality
OF the platforms which we would respect
lively stand in joint debate with my public an
nouncement OF my candidacy, while you are
seeking to place yourself in the attitude of
elf-sacrificing patriot who prefers private
life and will only consent to serve In the Sem
ate In order to save your country. Besides. IL
am to meet in joint debate every man who
might challenge me while denying his candi-
dacy, my whole time would be occupied until
the meeting of the legislature. Declare your
candidacy in an open letter, or public announce
ment to the people, and you will find me ready
to meet you anywhere ON equal footing and
equal terms. One word as to my remarks
which you quote. have never yet assailed one
of my fellow citizens except in resenting an
assault first made upon me- This has been the
invariable rule of my life. and you furnish no
exception to this rule. You went out of your
way before your name had even been men
TONED by me to say some very unworthy things
about me In your interview you did
not designate me by name, but you spoke Of
the one candidate, and every man in Georgia
knows that you referred TO me- You said that
you did not consider it any sin to run against
that candidate. and that the Senate was not
private property" as thought had assumed to
own q seat in the Senate as nv urivate
estate, and therefore that occupied
the absurd attitude of holding it a
sin to have any man oppose me. Nothing could
be more unprovoked or more unjust and few
things could be more offensive to a man of or
dinary sensibilities. 1t was this unworthy talk
of yours under the guise of being no candidate
and preferring ''private life" while seeking TO
damage me in the estimation of this people. that
called forth the criticism of which you com
plain. lam respectfully yours.

A BIG SPLIT IN COLORADO.
"rhe Gang" and "the Gang smasher
OF the Republican Party.

"rhe Gang" and "the Gang smashers''
OF the Republican Party.
DENVER. Col, Sept. 1.-THE republican
state convention met here this morning at
10 o'clock and elected Alexander Gullett of
Pueblo temporary chairman, appointed a
committee on credentials, and took recess
till 2 o'clock. There is bitter factional
fight in the Republican party of
Colorado, one faction being termed
''the gang" and the other the gang smash
ers.n The former has control of the state
and county offices, and is making strong
fight to continue in power, while the other
faction is leaving no stone unturned to
GUST them. The fight is so bitter in Arapaho
county that at the county convention. held
here on Monday. "the gang" bolted, held
convention of their own, and the result
is that the county has a contested
delegation before the convention. The
same state of affairs exists In several other
counties This will make the work of the
committee on credentials very tedious
Temporary Chairman Gullett is in sympa-
thy with ''the gang" and no doubt that
faction will control the convention. Both
sides Indorse Harry M. Teller for re-elec-
tion to the United States Senate.
