THE DEBATE IS TORRID
you WOULD SURRENDER BRY-
AN TO THE GOLD BUGS"
so ASSERTS JOHNSON. MORGAN DENIES IT
He Adds That He Would Surrender Any Man
at the viii Of His Party. A Dramatic
Scene Be ween the De-
bators.

Atlanta Ga. Nov. 1S.-A special to the
Atlanta Constitution from Athens, Ala,
says:
The campaign in Alabama was opened
here in Limestone county today, by one
of the warmest debates over heard i'll
politics. The participants were Hon.
John 4. Morgan, United States Sena-
tor, and the Governor of Alabama, JOS.
f. Johnston, who but recently announced
his candidacy for Morgan's seat in the
Senate. The town was ja1mmed with
people from all parts of the State.
Both the Senator and Governor John
Ston were literally cheered by an au-
dience composed of both blacks and
whites.
At the conclusion of the debate Gov
ernor Johnston challenged the Senator
to join him in all his appointments of
the campaign. This was accepted,
and the people of Alabama have settled
down to watch the warmeSt campaign
ever inaugurated in their State.
The Governor said he believed Sen
ator Morgan is not now in accord with
the great body of the Democracy of the
Union. The Governor did not believe
in any monopoly in office. He then gave
his reasons for securing the repeal Of
the constitutional convention act. He
said be found the attorneys and the EN-
ployeS Of corporations had been able e
control the nominations and that if held
the convention would have been in the
hands of representatives of the corpora
tions and gold standard men. The chief
executive said he was IN favor of educa-
tion for the people, but would not favor
the taking of the ballot from a single
white man who had borne arms for the
Confederacy. Much of the Governor 5
opeEing speech was devoted to Senator
MCrganiS alleged detection from Bryan.
THE Senator was willing to surrender
Bryan to the goIdbugs," he declared,
dramatically. ut one point in his speech.
This brought Morgan to his feet.
mo, that is not SO, Senator Morgan
declared with great vigor. He added:
'HBut ready and willing to surrender
Bryan or any other leader to the will
of his party"
Governor Johnston criticised the SEN
ator's position ON expansion and put
himself on record as against this Gov
ernment taking interritory not contiguous
TO the United States.
The Governor dwelt upon the race
question, as he thought it would develop
under imperialism, quoting from a Ha-
wanna dispatch which told of white men
being jailed for refusing to serve ne
groes ''For my part" he added, Il
want none of that sort of thing. We
have enough race problems now without
going out after more"
Senator Morgan was warmly welcom-
Ell. He said he was in favor of taking
the privilege of voting away from the
negro, bringing about a most dramatic
scene between himself and Governor
Johnston.

Great Britain and grandiloquently

| General Buffers reply to the appllca-
ton of Colonel Schiel the German Off
Ger captured at Elandslaagte, for a
parole, in accordance with the alleged
promise of General White. General
Butler says;
THE Transvaal declared war and in
vaded British territory before British
force could be put in the field. They,
therefore, obtained an immense milf
tary advantage at the outset They no
doubt took into consideration the fact
that the small British force opposed to
them would haye few men to spare TO
guard prisoners, who might, therefore,
be subjected to close restraint. On the
arrival of the British force l will do
my best to remedy any Inconvenience"

November 10th confirms the statements
to the effect that the Boer big guns
had little effect at Mafeking.
