ton Of an Interesting JOINT debate went up
in smoke.
Colonel Livingston Thinks 1t Funny.
Colonel Livingston is disappointed that
Colonel Gambler refused to meet him on the
stump.
why, said he, in speaking Of the mat
ter, 1T is the most remarkable thing l
ever heard of. Colonel Gambler says he
will not discuss the democratic platform be-
cause it allows no room for discussion, and
for that reason he will not meet me. Yet
he wants to turn out OF congress ana
take my place. Now it strikes me that this
being his position, the people OF the district
have a right to know just on what ground
he desires to make the change. he should
be frank with the people, and tell them his
affection to me. Then in fairness l should
be on hand and defend myself, and tell the
people in Colonel Gamblers presence just
why l think the change would not De ad-
vsable. Since. however. he admits there
is nothing to discuss, he must be fully sat
istied with my record-else lie would be
willing to discuss it. If he is satisfied with
it, then he should not try to defeat me-
If he is not satisfied with it, then he should
tell the people wherein he objects. nave
challenged him to do this, and he refuses
to accord me the privilege. which never
before has been denied in good-natured
contest for the congressional nomination
between democrats in this district. There
is an old rule in Kentucky that when one
candidate refuses to meet another in joint
debate he is eliminated absolutely as q
factor in the race. The people will not
vote for a man who is not ready to meet
his competitor This rule does not apply
in Georgia, but ii the time ever comes
when it can be said of me that am unW1ll-
ing to meet my competitor in open debate
and tell the people before him the why's
and wherefores Of my candidacy. then l
want my friends. if l have any left, to
pull me out of the race and drop me with

Trenton, Tenn, Sept. Ex-senator
-Isham G.. Harris opened the campaign
in Tennessee here today, in speech
before one of the largest audiences ever
assembled in the state.
Senator Harris was in the happiest
mood, and was frequently interrupted
by cheers. He said, in part, that while
the new tariff bill was not entirely sat
isfactory to himself, or to a large ma
ority Of the Democratic senators, he
could assert with absolute confidence
that it was the best tariff bill for the
consumer and taxpayer that has been
passed or offered in the last forty
years. He does not hesitate to de-
nounce as unjust and absolutely I'M
founded the statements that the Senate
was controlled by the Sugar trust. He
did not believe a single Democratic
senator was so controlled.
The act of 1894 concerning sugar is
vastly better for the taxpayer than the
Mckinley act, as the 40 per cent ad
valorem tax is very much less than the
bounty of cents pound, and one
eighth of a cent a pound on refined
sugar, just a fourth of the protection
the Mckinley act gave to the refiner
or the Sugar trust
Senator Harris continued: 'The
plain and practical question presented
to the Democratic members of the Sem
ate finance committee was: Shall we
perpetuate the Mckinley tariff act,
with all of its monstrosities and wrongs,
or make concessions?' The result is a
bill that will still make a great reduc-
ton upon the rates of the Mckinley
act, and reduction upon the rates of
what are known as the Morrison bill
and the Mills bill, both of which have
been lauded and approved by the DEM
ocratic party at the conventions and
otherwise"
Speaking of the currency question
Senator Harris said:
Il should be glad to have an inter-
national agreement, but | am satisfied
that no such agreement is possible or
probable at this time. 1t is, therefore,
inevitable that we must, by our own
legislation, provide for the coinage of
both metals and the maintenance of
parity. Let us formulate and estab-
fish our own home policy and maintain
it. We are able to do it, and it is our
duty to establish and maintain our
own bimetallic standard in our coun-
try. When we owe other countries, we
will find a means of payment If not
in cotton, wheat or other of our pro
ducts, we may possibly make terms
with Shylocks for gold enough to pay
The senator concluded by saying he
favored the repeal of the tax on state

Willie still n Democrat.

Lexington, Sept. 15.-At late hour
tonight, while the Breckenridge people
still claim their man will pull through
their confidence is not very marked
They are evidently greatly surprised
at the outcome Of the days voting. In
Fayette county they had expected
nothing short of 700 or 800 majority.
But the work that was done against
him brought his majority down to lit
tie over 200. In Franklin county,
where the Breckenridge forces expected
a majority of $780, the Owens people
have majority not less than 500 In
Woodford and other counties the same
story is told. The feeling in Henry
county was bitter, and serious fight
occurred during the afternoon at Lock
port.
1t is said tonight that Mr. Breckin-
ridge expressed his willingness to sub
init calmly to the decision of the
voters. He is quoted as saying that
if defeated. no one will give more ar
dent support to the nominee than he
and that he will advise all his friends
to do the same. He will be a Demo-
crat first and all the time.

LIVELY RIOT AT MUNCIE.
Street Car and Paving Men Come
Together With Damaging Results.

Together With Damaging Results.
Muncie, Ind, Sept. 15-Walnut was the
scene today of lively riot which for
time threatened all sorts of bloody re-
suits. The combatants We're the Asphalt
Paving company on one side and the Off
Gals and employees of the Muncie street
railway on the other AS a result of the
property was damaged to the extesI of
many hundreds of dollars, and a big le-
gal contest has been begun.
The trouble started from the failure of
the street railway company to get it's
new g1rder rails here for the paving
company on the line, as the asphalt COM
pany claim they We're delayed several
weeks at a heavy expense.
This morning, Superintendent Brown.
of the paving company, placed dozen
teams on the road and began tearing
away the grade.
Manager Hilligrosse of the railway
company, ran motor onto the first team
of horses, and the team was knocked
from the track. Another run was made
on another team, but the colored driver
stood ready for the attack, with a rock
in each hand and bluffed out the car
motorman. Other teamsters approached,
armed with rocks, picks, and clubs, and
police interference became necessary.
After several hours of this kind of con-
f1ict, the railway people turned the cur
rent of electricity into the rails and no.
titled the people if they went onto the
rails II would be at their peril. Th1S
caused the scene of war 10 be shifted to
the crossing of Main and Walnut streets.
The same tactics of driving the PAYERS
off was kept up until the police again
interfered. Hiiligrosse and Superintend-
ent Petty were arrested. amid wild cheer
ing by the big mob and were hustled off
to the police court. Several cars were
ditched.
This evening the asphalt company con-
structed a high fence across Walnut
street at the main crossing. Hilhgrosse
managed a motor and dashed into the
fence. He was knocked from the car and
badly injured and the war ended for the
night
