.WHlTE.HOLT
DEBATES ARE
DECLARED OFF.
This Is the Information That Comes
From Parkersburg from Chair
man Northcott, of
REPUBLICAN SPEAKER BUREAU.
The Local Democratic Committee Had
Received No Notification Of
This Last Night.

.
Yesterday afternoon, Chairman W. II.
Hornlsh. of the Republican county
committee, and Chairman Joseph
Handlan, of the Democratic county
committee, got together after several
Intellectual efforts. and made the ar,
rangements for the Joint debate on Sat-
urday evening between Gubernatorial
Candidates White and Holt It was de-
clded to hold the meeting from the
German Day. stand. at the corner of
Fifteenth and Chaplne streets, with
two charmcn. DR.. G. A. Aschman. for
the Republicans. and Col. Thomas
O'Brlen, ST., for the Democrats. 1t was
agreed, also, that each party should
have scventy-tive vice presidents on the
platform.
Soon after these arrangements hnd
been effected, County Chairman Hor-
nish was dlsmayed by the receipt of
the following telegram from Chairman
Elliott NorthcOtt, of the Republican
state committees speakers bureau.
PARkERSBUIsG. w. Va, Oct. 2.
W. H. HornIsh, Chairman, etc, Wheel
Ing, w. Va.
Joint debates at Parkersburg. Graf
ton and Wheeling declared OF by mu-
tual agreement of the candidates.
NORTHCOTT. &
Chairman lIornish then determined, IL
possible, to secure Mr.. White for a
meeting on Saturday evening. at the
place agreed upon for the Joint debate.
and wired Chairman Northcott to that
effect. He received reply last night,
In which Mr.. Northcott stated that he
would assign Mr.. White to Wheeling
for Saturday evening, II the candidate
does not object. Something definite
along this line will develop to-day.
The following additional particulars
OF the calling off of the joint debates
were received last night:
PARKSRSBURG. w. Va. Oct. a.
The following telegram was received at
Republican headquarters to-day:
HINTON, w. Va, Oct. o.
To the Publicity mutual agree
ment and in accordance with both our
wishes, we hereby declare Off the re-
naming joint debates arranged to be
held ut Parkersburg. Grafton. and
Wheeling, the last three days Of this
week. iSy
(slgned.)
A. B. WHITE,
]. H. HOLT.
The reason for declaring the joint de-
bates on Is not stated. Many eXplana-
tons are offered. but 1t Is believed that
the voices of the two candidates have
become affected, thereby rendering a
continuation Of the meetings out of the
question. 1t is thought now that the
meetings were scheduled too close to-
gether and should have been arranged
to take place every other day. the daily
debates crowding the speakers SO that
they have become exhausted. NJ.
White telegraphed that he will arrive
In this city Tomorrow noon. and will
attend meeting II it Is held in the
wigwam, but cannot make set speech.
1t Is inferred from that telegram that
his voice Is In bad condition, and
needs rest. The Republican commit
tee will arrange TO hold the meeting to-
morrow night anyhow. So that the
crowd that comes into the city will not
be disappointed.

The state press Of Mississippi Is max
ing some very interesting comments on
the recent attempt of J. f. Gibson. the
Indiana building contractor. to bribe Gov
ornor I.ongino to secure for him the Hon-
tract for the new statehouse. Many Of
these comments are of highly eulogistic
nature while others are unkind enough TO
tive In having Gibson placed under ar
rest was to secure a large sized amount
of political advertising As yet no pa
per has been bold enough TO express SYM
pathy for Gibson but the sentiment in
number of editorials is to the effect that
the governor ''ilirted" with the contractor
and led him on in a manner that was
not entirely fair. as il led Gibson to be
ueye that he was dealing with
person who would accept his overtures.
one editorial writer compares this action
of the governor as being strikingly SINH
lar to that of man who lends thief
his shoulder on which to climb through
a window and then shouts for the police
when the man is on the inside; while
another paper says that the governor
deserves no especial amount of credit
for being honest as honesty should be
n policv with every public official. and
that the entire affair has been much ado
