CCLONEL ELLIOTT DECLINES I I To Discuss the Issues or the Cam-J |ja gn With Mr. 8arrw*el i.* Chartaw<>nNj Afew days ago a letter was sent i to The News and. Courier, in which it was suggested that ai joint public debate between Con-J pressman William Elliott and ! Hon. J. W. Barnwell would inter- j v.sting just at this time. Col. El-.j Jiott has been in the city ior thei lust few days looking after his po j Jitical fences, and it "sias intimat-.; cd that he might be giad ol anop-j port unity to speak before the 'O* Charleston. The idea of I the writer of the communication seemed to by a good one, and a i reporter for Tiio News and (Jour- i Jer called upon the congressional ! candidates to see if they were willing to discuss the issue before 1 lie , Democracy of this city. Mr. Barn-j well said that he would be willing I to take part in such a debate as! vhut mi nested if the voters of the | ~? CO city cared to hoar him. He did not f propose to thrust an oration on lus | friends or opponents at this, time,.1 Uut if the Detuocraev of Oh 'ties- j * ion felt that the candidates fori | Congress should appear before it1 he was ready to respond. Lie was j at all times ready and willing tc| express his opinions on public! question and to tell the men i whose votes he sought just whom,' )? ? sond. When Col. LJliott was asked; yesterday about the suggested; joint debate lie declined to be in-, lerview or in a..v wav to discuss! I the matter. Of course this.endedj it, and the issues of the campaign will not be debated before the j voters at this time. -r*?,,,niTIAM POWCCDCWrC. ijrtynioi i ivjhi wiii unw?v*.^ Called be Held in Columbia : on the 23d of May.
