Hartford, Oct. 11.-Chairman J. Hen 1. fy Roraback, of the Republican state central committee, when asked Wheth- CT he had received a reply from Chair man Forster, of the Democratic state central committee, in reply to MT. Ror- aback's suggestion that Congressman Underwood and Congressman Hill hold a series of debates on October IA, 15 and Is. when MT Underwood comes to Connecticut, said:
 --I have heard nothing from MT. For ster in reply to my letter. But I have seen in the newspapers that MT. For ster would like to hold a debate with me I think he must be joking, for I am not a public entertainer. I made the offer in good faith, believing that it is our duty to enlighten the people in this campaign when the tariff is so big an issue, and I know of no men better fitted to set forth the respec- tive --Sargalments-.- than Congressman Underwood and Hill. I believe it would be a fair and square thing to have them both talk to the people from the same platform and have the truth come out.
 '.In the newspapers note that MT. Forster feels that he might have to put this matter up to the national committee. Very well. So that there may be no delay on our part I have
