Afterwards when Captain Kob had start

to him, and approaching with 0utstretched
hand, said: Captain Kolb, will you grant
me that satisfaction due one gentleman to
anotherY" Which is understood have meant
duel.

the amends honorable, while there are 9th

New York. September 9.-Josiah Quincy,
chairman of the committee on campaign 1T
erature of the democratic national committee
this afternoon issued the following statement:
when Mr.. Pecks report was made public
the committee on literature of the national
democratic campaign committee did not con
slider that it called for any attention other
than that which it received IN the press. 1t
was not felt that Peck's standing as a statis-
tcan was sufficient to call for any formal
attempt to reIute the conclusions OF his re-
port, and it was considered that It's hostile po-
Htlcal unimus was so evident mat both 1ts
substance and the time and method OF It's pub'
LEGATION made its purpose so plain that no
Intelligent man would be mlSed by ii. But
the Tact that President Harrison has seen tit
to dignity the report by citing it as authority
in his letter of acceptance, mas put the mat
ter i'll such a FGht That the committees leels
called upon to take official notice OF It, ,
Mr.. Peck stated to representative OF lhe
committee VINO sent TO Albany lmliie-
diately after the publication OF the report,
that he would be giad to submit the methods
employed by him in its preparation TO the
examination Of any committee appointed lor
lished 81 the New York papers he made the
same proposition. The committee bcheVeS
that no sufficient investigation can be made
of the basis OF the report without the 1ull
disclosure of the names of the manufacturers
supplying the returns upon which Il IS
claimed To he based, and that no puDlc oflicer
has the right to treat such returns as his pr-
yate property. The manufacturers who nave
increased their wages 50 generally, according
to Pecis report, can have no motive Tor con-
ceaJment Those of them who desire repui"
lcan success should certainly have every
disposition to give as much publicity as posi-
bic to any increase of wages which they have
made Any specific instances or an increase
of wages which Mr. Peck claims to have made
on such an extensive scale the committee Is
ready to subject to thorough investigation,
but in the absence of specifications, no credit
cnn be given to such claims.
The committee campoiSn literature
has therefore, deemed 1t proper to send rep
rcsentatives to Albany to get from MIR. Peck
all the information which he may be willing
to disclose, and to make formal demand
upon him for any Information or returns
Which he may withhold.
