Hon Harry Bailey, Of Cynthi-
ana, republican nominee for Con-
gress from this district, and Hon.
w. ]. Fields, of Olive Hill, pres
ent Congressman from the 9th
district and candidate on the dem
ocratic ticket to succeed himself,
spoke here Tuesday in the inter-
est of their respective candida
cies. 1t was not a joint debate,
however, Mr.. Baily speaking in
the afternoon and Mr.. Fields at
night. Mr.. Bailey's reception
was decidedly cool and must have
been a disappointment if he were
expecting a crowd to hear him
defend the glorious principles OF
protection. His audience consis-
ted of about forty or forty-fve
persons, fully half of whom were
democrats, His address was a
defense of of the tariff, principal
| ly, and aroused no enthusiasm.
The speaker grew eloquent in his
tribute to the Payne-Aldrich
Tariff Bill and incidentally as
cribed the high prices of every
thing the farmer has to sell, from
bull beef to brown bread, to its
benefcient workings. But when
he spoke of high cost of living
he attributed this to other and
more natural causes.
Mr.. Fields was greeted in the
evening by a full house and an
enthusiastic audience. Like his
opponent his speech was princi-
pally on the tariff but widely diff
ferent from that Of Mr.. Bailey.
lIThe speaker cited illustrations to
|show the iniquities of the present
tariff system. He dealt in. fig
ures and statistics at length to
] psoxe his points and he possesses
s, the happy talent Of being able
bv make statistics interesting, a t
,s- ent which few men possess. N
Fields speech was enthusiast
nv ally received and he was fl
,is quently interrupted by spontar
hn GUS outbursts of appliance.

and that he was telling the truth.
