ING SILVER DISCUSSED AT LENGTH-AN n
ADJOURNMENT UNTIL SATURDAY.
Chicago. July 1s-The debate between Messr2
Horr and Harvey to-day was marked by con-
siderable acrimony on the part OF both speakers.
In the beginning, Mr.. Horr said that he had .
personal explanation to make He quoted the
following paragraph from his opponents argu-
ment Of yesterday: These principles are for the
selfish interests Of money-enders. and Mr.. Horr
is here advocating them
Mr. Horr said that he took this as renecton
on his character He was not a money-iender'
he said. He had no interest in any bank or other
institution of like character. He was raised on
a farm, and his first work was done for $lo
month. He used to dig bitches for living. ana
was at one time a brakeman on railroad.
When he was elevated to the place Of baggage
master 1t was the proudest moment OF his life.
He had come into this debate, as Mr.. Harvey
would find out before he got through, to advo'
cate the principles which will be for the best In
terests OF the working classes, from which no
came. He desired to say, however. that he hao
prejudice against any Man WHO pccu
more fortunate than he He did not think that
a man was necessarily scoundrel because no
saves more than he spends He would even go
so far as to say that man could be director
OF National bank and still maintain his In
tegrity.
Mr. Harvey explained that when he said Mr.
Horr advocated the principles Of money-lenders
he did not mean to say Mr.. Horr himself was
a money-ender; he thought, however, In CIV
ing the history Of his life, Mr.. Horr should not
| have omitted to say that he had at one time
| been a bank president This question VIII notl
| be settled by any man parading himself as
horny handed son OF toll" continued the free' ,
| silver advocate. But it lies deeper than that
Perhaps Mr. Horr was at one time laboring
man. but so many persons who are nov
selfish bank presidents"

After this he took up the history Of the passage
Of the act of 1873 He defied the champion OK
the white metal to produce any proof that EHS-
land had any hand in that act.
