ONLY TWO MORE SESSIONS.
Daily Bouts Of Horr-Harvey Debate
10 Re Heightened.

CHICAGO, ILL, July 25.-At the open
ing of the Horr-Harvey silver debate to-
raw Il was announced that only two more
sessions would be held, and that for this
reason the daily bouts would be somewhat
tenethened. in order to admit Of the de-
livery OF the number Of words originally
ugreed upon.
The debate to-day was marked by a
more than usually sharp encounter.
Mr.. Horr called his opponents attention
10 a statement which he had made in
his criticism upon Senator Morgan,
wherein he stated that the silver dollars
of az l-2 grains were largely coined pre-
vious 10 the decentralization of silver III
1873 making subsidiary coin of less value.
Therefore he inferred that Senator Nor
gan was mistaken in stating that none OF
the H2l-2 grain dollars had been coined
from silver mines in this country. Mr..
Harvey says that the old dollars OF AZ IL
grains were for the people Of Nevada ana
California, Notwithstanding that at the
time the bullion was more uncoined than
coined"
FOREIGN COIN.
Mr.. Horr then denied that these dollars
were coined from silver mined IN TINS
country. and sent 10 the mint for that
purpose. Congress had provided that for
eign coin should he received by this gov
eminent at a certain fixed value. and,
further. coins should not again be put
into circulation, but should be recoined at
the mint. The report of the director
pf the mint showed that over 100000 in
yiiver had thus accumulated, having been
found in the gold during the process OF
nssaying.
At this point Mr.. Harvey challenged
HorT's statement, saying that he had not
brought his authorities with him, and.
therefore his arguments were entitled to
no standing in the debate. He then
handed MIR. Horr a statement Of the di-
rector Of the mint. which, he said. repre-
ssnted that during the year 1870, 4l2l62
silver dollars had been coined at Carson
City.
Mr.. Harvey again called his opponent
10 task for not coniinfg his remarks
10 the order OF debate originally agreed
upon, and said that he would not be
diverted from this order.
PRIMARY AND CREDIT MONEY.
He then entered on a discussion of
primary and credit money. saying that
the overissue OF credit money caused a
arain upon primary money for redemption
purposes. An example of this had Just
been witnessed in this country in the
ton for the purpose Of maintaining the
gold reserve.
Mr. Harvey said he had received a let
ter within the last few days from a
large New York manufacturer. IN which
the writer stated that all the money the
bank gave him 70 pay on his men was
IN silver certificates.
Mr. Horr took his opponent 10 task for
making a mistake i'm his figures by 10000
regarding the amount OF silver dollars
coined in 1870 at the Carson City mint,
and asserted that the mint report from
which the silver champion had quoted
sustained MIR. Horr's proposition.
Mr.. HOrr added. up TO this moment
Mr. Harvey has not said one word upon
the real question in debate. He has not
rontroverted single statement Of mine
successfully. He has not proved any
act Of bribery or a single evil step taken
durins the passage OF the bin OF 1873"
