the Fifth congressional district , llio joint de-
Unto between tlio republican and democrat-
Indopoiulont candidates for congrots from
this district proving an attraction which tins
drawn the attention of nil interested In ttiu

i'rof.V. . E. Andrews , the republican candi

demoenuit ) champion , the notorious member
of congress from this district , nnd os bo
has achieved a reputation us nn orator which
Is not measured b.v tbo limits of the stale ,
the public interest was oxultcd on the re
spective merits of too two speakers. The
town wus full of politicians all the day , the
republican and Independent headquarters
being the principal rallying places.
The oratorical exercise * were lieu' ' in i
lar o "tiibonmclo , " a , wooden building which
was originally bulltj few mouths ago to bo
used for revival purposes. The Building was
divided through the nilddlo by n rope , the
Independents taking the loft and the i'Cpub
licans the right. TUo scoio rn entering the
building from the cast reminded one of the
coats and sheep of the Apocalypse. By 7
the building wai comfortably llllod , and the
partition back of the platform removed to
give more rcom and air to the crowa.

The Hastings college boys nrrlvod m a

Instructor by using their louthor lungs on
the collcRO yell , "Hay Hay Hastings wo ,

A long line of torches , berne by about 500
men , proceeded to the 1 $ . & M. depot In the

Cluv C'entor cavalry company dismounted.

iVt the depot a delegation of clubi from
Hud Clouu , Mlndcn , Grand Island , Harvard ,
Doniphan and Aurora was mot.
In ttio uieantuno llio crowd in the wigwam
chanced shots of repartee nnd whooped for
the various candidates. Boards were knocked
off tlio ends and the available fans used with
a vigor which vied with the lungs of the ln-
dcpendouts. On the platform were sealed
various of-lho leading lights-of both parties ,
tbe ludepntidcnts slda being tilled mainly
with ladles.
Both Sides Whooped Her Up.
McKeiguan entered , the coats all standing
and yelling for McKeighan. Andrews
entered a moment later and was grouted
with dcalooing cbcors. Tbo independents
not to bo ouulonn , broke out in renewed
cheers , Joiucd.a juouioat'lator.by-tbo repub- *
Means , Pandemonium letlooso best describes
the scene which followed. Cries tor Harri
son , Andrews. Weaver and McKoighan
made the wigwam tremble for a few minutes.
Prof. Andrew's wife was escorted to the
platform by 13ttV. . Bexton of the republican
county central committee , and was greeted
with appluubo und cheers.
Chairman McPuccly of the republican
congressional central committee utter n few
remarks , explained the articles of agreement
between the rival candidates and urged that
no interruptions bo made , and then intro
duced the republican champion , Hon. W. E.
Andrews. The republicans arriving late
could not obtain entrance and began to tear
down the walls of the building. A banner
passed up to the stage bearing tlio Icgond :
"Hasting College for Andrews , " wes
greeted bv applause , the collceo boys
responding with the college yell.
Alter considerable trouble order was restored -
stored and Mr. Andrews begun. Ha asked
that tbo sumo porfcct order and attention DO
given his opponent as might ba given to
himself.
U out After Melleiqliairii Doubln Act.
It was a principle ( if all discussions that
an uxacl statement of the position of the
bpeuKor should be given , and yet thU was
violated by his opponent , who wus both a
democrat und an anti-democrat illustrating
In a Happy manner by referring to McKciir-
bau's deceased dcmocr-Uii ; wife , ruferied to
In llio house of representatives.
McIColghun wished lo make an interrup
tion und was snouted down by the crowd ,
f ho independents whooped for McKuighan ,
Cnairman McPhcoly calmly marking down
' .ho tlmu lalton by the Interruption.
"Wifo No. 1 would wish McKoighan to
vote for Cleveland , while wife No. 2
was for Weaver. " This bundle of in-
coiiblslencieu was true to history. Ho
did not meet McICclghuu as an independent
but us one "making love in the dark. " The
only issue wus republicanism vs McKelcbun-
'
ism' , und that Issue was gladly accepted.
The llrst principle ho would lay down was
that labor was entitled to its Just ahuro of
the wealth it produces. The second was
that labor and capital should never enslave
Uiombulvcs. The third , American luoor and
markets for America wuu such favors to
foreign nations as could bo clven without
\dotrimcnt to her own uitoro.su. The only
natural propositions were free trade and
protection , McKoighan absenting a nod.
Now , only about half of the necessary funds
for the government wore raised oy a protec
tive tariff.
How would It bo If wo had another Fifty-
first congress ? Onool the bonoUts of pro
tection wus found in tbo keening of Amoilcan
cattle at homo. That it had acted favorably
was shown by th bnlanco of trade of the
last Jlacil year bolug J202,000,000 in our
fuvor. Protection , by Commissioner Peck's
report , was shown to provldn bolter wages
for American workmen and the American
hog undur the policy of the republican party
had inadn a irlumphaut march through

The speaker would dcfino his position by
stating that hovjis In favor of an honest
dollar and for un advancement In the volume

d as was compatible with the equality of dollar

At the close deafening cbcors were given

Ho believed that ull wtmlih was produneu b.\

gram to THE BiE.J-k-THa : Field-Bryan debate
which has been th'o all-absorbing" topic In
local political circles for the past few days
took plnco hero today and was n marked
success In every particular. There was n
lurga attendance , much too largo for any hall
In the city and BO W was hold in the park.
Mr. Field opened in an hour's speech full of
facts , figures and statistics , showing the
bcnolUs of the McKlnlcy bill und the fnl-
lacloj of Bryan's poiltlon on the tariff and
the free silver question.
Ho said the democrats in congress had attempted -
tempted to puncture six holes lu the McKln-
loy bill and that it had taken thorn i.wo roars
to do oven that much , and nt that rate it would
tuko over fiOO years to repeal this very obnox
ious measure , and even democrats could not
afford to wait that long. He'referred to reci
procity nud gave statistics showing its benc-
llclal results to the tillers of the soil. Ho ex
emplified the reductions in the prices in cutlery
lory , dress good und other commodities of
life by exhibiting samples of each , giving the
prices of each before tno MeKinloy bill went
Into effect and the priceat the present time ,
and oltcltod the applnuso of the hearers by
stating that by tbc'purchaso ' of American
made goods they got goods of a bettor quality
at a lower price und at tbe same tune helped
to warm some Auiprican ; home.
Ho had barely touched on the silver ques
tion when time was called and Mr. Bryan
was Introduced. His first , effort was an attempt -
tempt to capture the qudlcnco bv pecittng
Into his open-gilp where lie kept his samples
and with a smile remarking , "I travel for
tno same house as debs my high protection
friend. " This was followed b.v laughter.
Ills entire speech ot one hour and fifteen
minutes was In reply to tha facts , llguros and
logic of Mr. ficlu. In no instance did ho
make any statements similar to those of two
youts ago.
During tlio llftcon minutes allotted to Mr.
Field in closing ho spoke very rapidly , and
as the blows fell th k and fast upon the

took place upon the same tlold whereon the

Today was celebrated the anniversary of
the proclamation of the First Republic. In
May last the Chambers decided by a vote to
ranko the daa ; general holiday , nnd today
Iho bourse and the courts were closed. Up
to yesterday Paris did not scorn to bo very
onthusiastlcconsldorlng it was holiday time ,
because the great event to bo commemorated
was too far off. This morning , however ,
line weather put the Parisians In excellent
humor. Dwellings were decorated and
especially the worklngmeu's quarters. In
the afternoon the whole city was out of doors
to GOO Iho procession with , which the folo
began. It was the apothoosls Into revolution.
Singular but SlKulllcHiil.
The sight was a singular ono. Marching
past were vlsltinv clubs from the Sambro

carrying banners. There were sections of
the Purls commune nnd civlo cunrdi In their
red caps and mkos. But the greatest enthu
siasm greeted n largo number of pars with
symbolic groups or figures , especially ono
boarlug a gigantic statue Illustrative of the
"Marsellalse. " Not a single offensive cry ,
not ono war-liko allusion wont out from tha
crowd. When n detachment composed of
men from different regiments of tbo garrison
closed the procession the cowu grow serious ,

eastbound passenger com'ruittqo of Iho Cen
tral Trufllo association was held today at
Chqlrman Donald's ofllco to consider the sit
uation as affected by the Nickel Plato's re
duction in rates. In Justification of its
reduced rate tbo Nickel Plato claims
lhat Ito AVabash has contracted with

from Chloago to Now York , , but It
is emphatically denied by the Wnbash repre
sentatives hero. The road * today agreed
that no action would be taken immediately.

The Nickel Pluto baa shown no disposition to

lo Justify them on Iho ground lhat the Den

manlnulated as to cut the rates to those fig
