rained, while bands played and thou
sands Of enthusiastic voices cheered and

MORRIS AND TOWNE.
Some Doubt if the Joint De-
bates Can be Arranged for
the Campaign.

Soon after Judge Morris was
nominated for congress by the Re-
publicans, Congressman Towne is
sued a challenge to him for u large
number of joint debates during the
campaign. Morris promptly an
nOunced that he would be pleased to
have joint deba tes with Mr.. TOwne
on the issues OF the campaign, but
declared he would not devote SIX
weeks time to them. Each of the
aspirants for congressional honOrs
later appointed a committee to re-
present his side in the arrangements,
Morris selecting O. u. Kinney, T. Nj.
Hugo and Col. Graves.
The two committees met several
times last week, hut could not agree
ON the terms for the meetings. The
Morris committee insisted on d. dis
QUESTION Of all the issues, and the
Towne people wanted to discuss
only the money issue. No arrange
ments have yet been completed. 1t
will he pretty embarrassing for
'Towne to attempt to defend the po-
=sitiOn Of the Democrats and POpu-
listic parties, yet as he represents
them in this campaign he cannot
escape all the issues that those
parties bring into the campaign.
TOwne's demand that the discussion
be confined to the money question ia
about as reasonable as 1T would be
for Morris to insist that the only
question under discussion should be
the tariff.
II joint debates are arranged, we
trust that Morris will insist on at
lacking the wrong POSITION that
Democracy and P"pulism occupy
ON all public questions.

animal. and he proposed to stop the
thief il possible. He therefore con-

approaching the pen from the pas
ture, he fired. killing them both. In
