Judge Museller and Editor Kies of the
Commoner took place at the Garfield hall
| last night. Tuesday night the former
skinned the latter, and last night he placed
the hide, SO to speak. on the fence 4
warning, as it were, to all ambitious Peo-
pies party men not TO enter into debate
with Republicans.
Neither one of the speeches were as
interesting as they were the night be-
fore for they were constituted principally
of long arrays of figures which are always
dull and monotonous. The Republicans
present outnumbered both the Peoples
party and Democrats nearly three to one
424 Republicans being in the house and
IA of the others combined.
AT sol both speakers entered the hall
amid great cheering from all portions OF
the house including the gallery. Musel-
| Ter was in his every day clothes,
while Mr.. kies was dressed like
prince in a broodcloth suit, white
necktie. an expansive shirt bosom with a
gold button ornamenting it. and cuffs of
| immaculate whiteness. Those who would
not know the men would conclude in a
moment tina: the calamity bowler was the
the case.
Mr.. Museller opened the debate by refer
ring to a personal matter INDUCED in the
previous night by Mr.. Kies. 1t appears
that in Tuesday nights debate Mu-
seller took out confederate bill to
illustrated the value of fiat money and
kies not being able to answer the point
made with logic made fling at Museller
by saying that he could not hold up good
$50 bill. To this Mr.. Museller replied last
night that he was not candidate for state
printer which was a retaliatory thrust at
hles based upon the report that
kies retired from the state printers
contest for a monetary consideration
from MIR. Snow the successful candidate.
This was strike at Kies wind TO uss pu-
gllistic parlance and it had very damag-
ing effect. He said that he did not care to
dwell on that subject however as he came
there to debate living public issues and not
personalities as Mr.. Kies had done.
He then took up the Al
lance platform and read it care
fully, commenting on it as he went
along. When be read that part of it which
said 1.-THE country is on the verge of moral,
material and financial ruin" he stopped
and asked the question OF the Alliance side
OF the house, ARE the people in Kansas.
morally ruined?" Yes. sir, they are, shout
ed many Alliance men while 424 nos came
from the Republican side.
rs the death of Christ failure thenf'
asked Museller.
Yes, SIR" boldly replied a Peoples
party man. and the cheer that went up
from the Populists and the Democrats was
like the roar of thunder. 1t was a great
blasphemy, and Mr.. kies, who realized its
political effect, seemed very much worried
over it. When the Alliance man
shouted Eyes" in reply to Judge Musel-
ler's question the Republicans became
excited and indignant at the Iugersolan
reply, and with one accord they shouted,
mo, no." 1t was quite exciting, bat the
Alliance man stood his ground and in
sisted that Christ failed in his glorious
mission to the world for the redemption
of its people. Just think of a party that
breeds such unchristian doctrine in a state
famed the world over for the number of its
Christian churches and its Christian peo-
pie. 1t is bad enough to resort to DELHI
their state and denouncing the blessed in
situations of the land, but when it comes
to preaching the doctrine that the Maker
Of all this universe failed in his divine
purpose, it IS simple horrible. Who would
think for moment that such an out
rageous sentiment could meet with APP
plause in the great state of Kansas.
Mr.. Museller read the platform this time
from the Kansas Commoner, kies own pa
per, and by doing this he left his opponent
40 room for his fine handed jugglery. Had
{ not been for this precaution Mr.. kies
would evidently state that the plato rm
