MR.. NORRIS DOES NOT FEAR CONTEST.
When a STAR reporter asked Mr.. James L.
Norris, one of the delegates elected by the Dis
trict democracy to the national democratic con-
vention, today if he feared a contest by Mr.
Dickson before the convention Mr. Norris re-
Piled: Il have no fear in the matter. good
deal has been said in the press since Mr.. Davis
and myself were elected about the great things
which Mr.. Dickson is going to do out at Chi
cago. He has proclaimed tar and wide the ex-
plosion he will make there BY the 'affidavits of
scoundrels and desperadoes' and what not, but
l have never been disturbed in my sleep over
the subject.
Il have not been anxious to reply to the
many inuendOes which have crspt into the
press as to alleged frauds and irregularities
attending the action Of the District democracy
Disappointed men sometimes grow desperate,
but have thought better of Mr.. Dickson than
to suppose he would be 80 infatuated as to in
vite publicity to his own course of conduct in
reference to democratic affairs in this District
but If he insists on ventilating himself and his
humors he may possibly find those present who
will aid him to his hearts content"
"Why did you not publish your reply to Mr..
Dickson when his letter to you was published?''
~ was visited by several newspaper men, ~
said Mr.. Norris, 'all Of whom referred to Mr.
Dickson for copy Of my letter for publication.
For some reason they did not secure from him
a copy Of it. l am very busy with my own
affairs and as the matter was in his own keep
ing referred them to him.
"This is the first and only time 4 have con-
sented to say anything on the subject for pub
LEGATION, and l only now do SO on account Of
many friends who wish to see the letter pub
lished that they may judge for themselves how
far it is brutal, arrogant and irritating Go
get the letter from Mr.. Dickson. l am quite
willing it should see the light"
