ton in his late uterances and has been apparently AVOID
ing IT, and feel that Joint debate on that question
would be the General Is commissioned by inc
Governor 10 express his views. Would it not be well
II the Democrats this county would arrange for JOINT
debate between Warner and eXPresdent CleNe'

Democratic Congressman from the Mansfield Ohio, dis

beg TO suggest II Joint debate should be mad pro-
posed by YOU insist that all the questions in
voyed in this campaign be the subject Of discussion the
thrift as silver. The former, however, might be
embarrassing General Warner, but Mr.. Harer could

silver issue could be debated these gentlemen are in
disagreement upon both questions although both are Demo-
