T WAS CUT AND THRUSH Two More Sessions of the Horr-
 Harvey Debate. THE CRITICISM OF MORGAN Mr. Horr Days that His Opponent Has Dodged Every Issue and Made Good
 no Statement

Chicago, July 25.-(Copyright, 1895, by Azell F. Hatch.)-At the opening of the Horr-H Harvey silver debate today it was said two more sessions would be held and that for this reason the daily bouts would somewhat be heightened to admit of the delivery of the number of words agreed upon The debate today was marked by more.than usually sharp en- counter.
 Mr Horr called his opponents atten- tion to a statement which he had made in his criticism upon Senator Morgan, wherein he stated that silver dollars or 4121a grains were largely coined previous to the demonstration of silver Tn lSf3, and after the passage of the law of lS93 making subsidiary coinage of less value than it's face. Therefore he inferred that Senator Morgan was mistaken in stating that none of the 412h dollars had been coined from silver mined in this country. MT. Harvey says that the old dollars Of 4121a grains were coined for the people or Nevada and California, notwithstanding that at that time the bullion was worth more uncoined than coined.
 Mr. Horr denied that those dollars were coined from silver mined in this country, and sent to the mint for that purpose. Congress had provided that foreign coin should be received by the government at a certain fixed value, and further that such coins should not be again put into circulation, but should be recoined at the mint. The report of the director of the mint showed that over $5000, 900 had thus accumulated, having been found in the gold in the process of assaying 1t.
 At this point MT. Harvey challenged Mir. Horr's statement, saying that he had not brought his authorities with him, flaAs hi tied to no standing in the debate. He then handed MT. Horr a statement of the director from the mint, which he had rep resented during the year 1870. showing that 412, 462 silver dollars had been coined at Carson City, Nev.>
 Mir Harvey again called his opponent to task for not confining his remarks to the order of debate originally agreed upon, and said that he would not divert from this order. He then entered upon discussion of primary and credit money, saying that an overssue of credit money caused a drain upon the primary money for redemption purposes. An example of this had just been witnessed in this coun- try in the issue of bonds by the present administration for the purpose of main tainlng the gold reserve.
 MT. Harvey said he had received a let ter within the last few days from large New York manufactur in which the writer stated that all the money the bank sent him to pay off his men was in silver certificates.
 MT. Horr took his opponent to task for making a mistake in his figures by $400,- 900 regarding the amount of silver dol lars coined in 1870 at the Carson City mint, and asserted that the mint report from which the champion of silver had quoted sustained MT Horrs proposition. MT. Horr added: Up to this moment MT. Harvey has not said one word upon the real question in debate. He has not suc- cessfuly controverted a single state- ment of mine. He has not here proven any act of bribery or the influence of money in a single step taken during the progress of the bill through congress. He nor no one else will, because there was none"
