Politicians in both the Republican and
Democratic parties have famed the
flames of hatred between the north and
south and between the races living In the

"The Republican party WAS a factlonal

KENTUCKY INVITES WILSON
Governor Asked to Address Leg.
islature of Watterson's State.
tBv Telegraph to The Tribune.l


Trenton. n. j., Jan. 30-As II TO heap
Goals of fire on the head of Colonel Henry
Watterson. Governor Wilson has been
asked to go right into the coloners own
state and speak to the members or the
Kentucky Legislature. The invitation TO
Governor Wilson came In the form or
dispatch signed by w. Arnett, chairman OF
the invitation committee, and was received
at the Governors Office this afternoon.
The dispatch said the members of the
Kentucky Legislature would be pleased to
hear Governor Wilson on any date he
might select
When Governor Wilson was asked about
Colonel Watterson's statement, published
this morning, he would only say: "A state
ment like that admits of no comment from
me-" In answer to a question from one Of
the newspaper men the Governor said:
IT am absolutely willing so far as
Colonel Watterson Is concerned that he
should publish anything that he has. l am
only sorry to have TO regret friendship
that while IT lasted found interesting
and enjoyable"
When Governor Wilson was shown a
copy Of newspaper containing the Harvey
letters this afternoon he laughingly said:
"Oh, have read those letters before"
His only other comment was that they
were published with his knowledge and APP
proval.
The Wilson supporters around the capital
to-day appeared to be greatly pleased at
the publication OF Colonel Watterson $
statement and the Harvey letters, and
more than one of them expressed the opin-
ION that Colonel Watterson had been by
his own words effectualy knocked into d
cooked hat" The Governors friends said
the publication OF these communications
had aided the Governor in his ambition 10
be the Democratic nominee for President.
Governor Wilson will leave for Richmond
tomorrow night. He will address the Vir-
gina Legislature on Thursday and on Fri
day night will speak at the dinner of the
Periodical Publishers Association at the
Bellevue-Stratford Hotel, in Philadelphia.
