I accepj your "chalenge" most cheer
fully, with this modification: That we
discuss before the people the issues in
volved or incorporated in the respective
Platforms National and Territorial of the
Union and Democratic parties.
The Union and Democratic Central
Committees through their sespective
Chairmen, will arrange as to time and
place for the various joint meetings,
should my proposition be acceptable to
you, of which please inform me at your
earliest convenience.
Very respectfully, &c,

views on the subject, that I did cot be
lieve we possessed either, in sufficient
degree to" warrant the acceptance of tha
provisions cf the enabling act passed in
the winter of 1S63-6 1. If it were other-.
wj38if I had been favorable to State
organization I can see no possible bear
ing which that fact could have upon the
great issues of the present canvass.
It nfight be "of interest to the people
cf Nebraska" to inquire how far you
compromised your freedom cf action and
of rating inthe la!e canvass between
Judge Kinney (the Democratic nominee
for Congress) and his successful compet
itor, in order to retain the "humble and
obscure position" of Post Sutler at Fort
Kearney, but even this would seern tome
to be equally out of place and' in bad
taste in the pending canvass.
I therefore insist upon my original
proposition to discuss the issues involved
in the Platforms, Territorial and Nation
al, of the parties which placed us in nom
ination. You must le aware that I am the nom
ine? of the "Union" (not the Republi
