brown and KoIner Not Asked to Debate.

10 the Editor OF The Times Dispatch.
Sr,--I have noticed in one or two
recent issues of your paper where you
have stated that Mr. George w. Koiner
has declined to meet his opponent. Mr..
Brown, in q joint debate at Kenbridge
on August q You seem anxious to
make the impression that Mr.. Koiner
is afraid TO meet, Mr.. Brown: and that
he, is avoiding doing so. To correct
such an impression and to do Mr.. Koiner
justice, beg to say that at the time
you made such statements that neither
Mr. Brown nor Mr. Koiner had been
requested to hold a joint debate at
Kenbridge on August 9 They, were
both invited to speak. but no debate
was contemplated by the committee
when extending the invitation. They
were requested to speak along any
lines that seemed best to them.
IL does seem now that there will be
Joint debate between these two gen
tlomcn. but II will be of their own
choosing, and not because the commit
tee requested them The terms on
which they are to speak will be left
entirely to these two gentlemen after
they reach Kenbrfdge. but 1t is general-
ly thought that their addresses will
take the form Of debate.
l simply write this in an effort to
correct the impression your paper has
made and to do justice to Mr.. Koiner.
Yours very truly,
j. S. HATCHETT

dogs better taken care of, but a better
