A recent editorial In tho 1ynchburg
News Congressman Carter Glass paper,
excorinting tho white Democrats VINO
havo been identified with tho fusion
movement in Norfolk, county, and per-
sonully crlticising Colonel re. Nav
shalt and others identified with that
wing Of tho Democratic party In that
county, has precipitated q controversy
between Colonel Marshall and Mr.. Glass,
in which epithets more emphatic and
offensive than polite have been used.
The editorial in question was evidently
from tho pen OF Mr.! Glass himself, ono
of the most trenchunt, direct and en-.
phntIc writer's 81 the State, and attracted
wide attention and comment. Colonel
| Mar shall prepared a circular In reply to.
this, which, according to his statement,
llo submitted to the Norfolk Public
Ledger, which had printed the News ed-
torial hut he asserts that tho Ledger
declined to print the statement. There
upon ColoncI Marshall had printed In
hand bill or circular form the card
submitted to tho newspaper. IT. Is in the
form OF an open letter addressed to Mr..
Carter Glass, owner and editor OF the
Iynchburg News, and Is OF nature
which, twenty-five years ago, would al
most inevitably have meant a duel.
"A Political Cancer"
Tho open letter is called forth By a very
sovcre editorial denuncation of tho fu-
sion alliance, "a Political Career" and

Encounter Not Likely,
Tho Norfolk correspondent Of Tho
Tlmcs-Dl spatcll contributes the appended
statement rs to tho controversy and the
improbnbllity of an encounter between tho
two gentlemen:
"TrIends hero OF both Captain Richard
Coke Marshall Commemorative attorney
of Norfolk county. and tho Hon. Carter
Glass, congressman from tho Lynchburg
District, deny that there Is any occasion
to fear a cartel as the result OF the recent
spirited correspondence between the two
gentlemen In the public prints. Any suAal
limitations are very far out Of the way,
! 1t Is asserted. although the llo has been
publicly given, and ono OF the parties has
been charged with having dlsgraced hlm-
selk, The prominence Ut tho mon makes
the matter OF more than passing interest.
1t is denied that Captain Marshall's aspl-
ratlons to tho goyerhorship had anything
to do with tho quarrel,
