before he could resume, after which he
proceeded to read:
"The farmers movement will swell un-
til at no distant day it will combine all
industrial classes of this country, and the
voice of such a force must be heard. The
writing is on the wall, old party ties are
passing away"
The speaker here turned to the Major,
and asked him if he did not think the
farmers movement had already combined
all industrial classes in America; if he did
not believe that old party ties are pass
lug away? Here again the audience ex-
pressed their appreciation Of the situa-
tion, after which the speaker told the
Major to prepare for the concluding ter
rible declarations:
"The grand old republican party, with
it's history, its victories, it's glorious
martyrs, has become place Of refuge
for thieves, railroad and salary grabbers,
whisky and Indian rings, and must fall
to pieces with it's own rottenness" Ire.
mendous applause.
Mr.. Scott interspersed his speech with
further extracts from the speech of Mr..
Hudson, and also from those of Sena.
tors Ingalls, and Plumb In fact, on the
whole it was grand victory for the Peo-
ple's party.
Then Mr.. Hudson made his closing re-
marks. He first complained that he did
not have as much time as he would have
liked-that he thought he had been
swindled out of five minutes Of his al
lotted time. Mr.. Scott told him that if it
was not trespass upon the generosity of
the audience he could, as far as he was
concerned, have all the time he desired.
The Major then, after stammering and
uttering few incoherent remarks,
blurted out that he did write that article
containing the foregoing quotations, and
that he had not word 10 retract.
When Mr.. Scott was reading extracts
from Mr.. Ingalls, speech in the United
States senate in 1891, on the silver COIN
age bill, the Major interrupted him by
saying: II don't believe a word of it,"
Then Mr.. Scott remarked that he was
reading from the great apostle, ingalls,,
to which the major remarked: 81 don't
go an inch on him." But to cap the
climax, the Major, in his closing re-
marks, said that when he wrote that ar
ticle (meaning the one quoted from
by Mr.. Scott, he knew more
than he does now, which brought
the house down in great applause.
or course the Major did not intend that
the naughty audience would take lis
remarks in the sense that they did, and
he tried to patch it up after he got the
house restored to order, but the audi
ence would not have 1t that way. He
then made frantic efforts by stammering
and paving the air to regain his lost bal
rnce, but all in vain. The Major was
''rattled" and Of course lost in the fog.
Where is that once grand old republi-
can party; that party with its history, its
achievements; the party of Lincoln,
Sumner, Chase and Stevens?

+, hour and nrLeen minutes, discussing his
side Of the issues; then Mr.. Scott to have
one hour and fifteen minutes to reply;
then Mr.. Hudson to have fifteen minutes
as a rejoiner; then Mr. Scott to have
about ten minutes to close the argument
The oI~yg house was crowded with a
mixed audience, both sides being well
represented.
Mr.. Scott was introduced by the chair
man of the meeting, and proceeded to
map out the affirmative as follows: First
Favoring the increase of the circulating
medium; that the same be issued by the
government direct to the people without
the intervention of national banks; that
the same should be full legal tender.
Second-Favoring the ownership and
control Of railroads, etc, by the United
States government. Third-Favoring
the free and unlimited coinage of silver.
Fourth-Favoring the abolishing of ma
tional banks. All of which was done in
Mr.. Scotts usual masterlY manner.
Mr.. Scott then introduced Mr.. Hudson,
who, Notwithstanding the melancholy ex-
preston of forlorn hope depicted on
every feature Of his countenance, pro
ceeded to deliver George Il. Anthony's
speech, we'll known in all Kansas politi
cal circles. He proceeded along that line
until he came to the place where they
read garbed extracts and misstated SEN
tences of speeches of Senator PETER,
Jerry Simpson, Mrs. Lease and others.
After reading such with good deal OF
gusto and physical furry, and denounc-
ing the same as being un-American,
anarchistic and communistic in senti-
ment, the Major discovered that his
time was slipping away rather fast,
so he dropped the remainder of An
thongs speech and relied upon his own
resources. After an unsuccessful at
tempt to recuperate his lost energy and
faint reconnoiter of the situation, he
began to scatter, and finally his gun
flashed in the pan.
Mr.. Scott then proceeded to discuss
the issues CT the evening as mapped out.
But inasmuch as the Major did not touch
the issues, nor define any position Of the
party he represented, Mr.. Scott did not
have much to reply to, and consequently
discussed the affirmative proposition.
He, however, concluded to have little
fun with the Major, by reading a few
extractsfrom one of his (the Majors)
speeches delivered in 1873, and then hold
him up 80 that the audience could see
the maggots wiggle in him. In order to
show that if the principles advocated by
the Peoples party were anarchistic in
sentiment, as the Major would have ap-
pear, then there were others that uttered
this same sentiment that were not stran-
gers in the republican camp. Mr.. Scott
proceeded to read extracts from speeches
delivered by Mr.. Hudson, Mr.. Plumb
and Mr.. Ingalls,. He read the following
extract from speech delivered by Mr..
Hudson in 1878:
"If subsidizlog Of legislatures, of the
press, of congress and courts continues;
il we cannot send men to the legislature
who shall be able to withstand the direct
and indirect bribes of rings and monopo,
lies, revolution becomes inevitable. The

Though the Olympic Club, Of New Or.
leans, during the pugilistic tournament
which took place there this week, chose
to make discrimination on account OF
color IN the matter of admissions at the
fights of McAulif and Meyers and Dix
on and SkellY, and refused to allow Afro.
Americans to witness the Fl yht between
Sullivan and Corbett, Dixon proved to
them that there are cases in which an
Afro American is better man than a
white man. To the credit of the Afro
Americans Of New Orleans be it said
that they did not attend the fight in very
large numbers on account of the sense-
less discrimination as to location. As a
rule sporting events Of all kinds have
been open alike to black and white. It.
is disgrace enough for black man to at-
tend these brutal prize fyhts without
being subjected to insult in addition,
Afro-Americans generally take pride in
Dixon for maintaining his standing as
the champion feather-weight but thew
are almost frepziel with joy to know
that that big, clustering brutal bully.

by prejudice that he not only refused to
meet Peter Jackson in. the fistic arena
but added insult 10 his refusal, has been
defeated. It.is plain now, that be WOO
