5 , > eb. , Sep' . 23. | Spectal to THE
BEE. ] Tbe Joint debate between Melklojohn
nnd Poynter took place yoitcrduv on the fair
grounds. A largo attendance of the parti
sans ol both wera present. Mr. Meiklejobn
opened tbe discussion with a speech of thirty
minutes In which he discussed the tariff ,
challenging Mr. Poyntor topolntout n single
article oi the necessaries of life that Is not
cheaper no\v than it was under frets trade.
He referred to the wonderful growth of this
country during the last thirty jars and
claimed it bad been dev lope/l / linger the
K.vitem of protection and the financia' ' system
of tbe republican party.
Taking up the question of per capita circu
lation no referred to the plan * in the pee
ple's party platform demanding that
the circulating medium bo $50 per
capita , Mr. MeiUlejohn showed bj statistics
that the bank deposits per capita of tbo
peorlf of the state ot Nebraska are now $49.
IJefcrnng'o the income tax. he asked tbe
people if they preferroJ to raise the larce
amount of money necessary to run the gov
ernment t > y taring tneir incomes , as thcv
ivero taxed during the war , when every
business und profession was taxed save
the ministry , wheu every deed , note and re
ceipt was taxed , in preference to the present
f , ) stem of raibing the revenue by n pro
tective tariff. He showed the absurdity of
tbo land ! oan scheme and subtreasury plan
by pointing out as an illustration the Ar-
jrer.tine Hfcpubllc , where the same scheme
bankrupted tno country and flooded that
fair land with a currency worth U5 cents on
the dollar.
Tbe subtrcisnry , be declared , offered
creator opportunities for cornering the grain
markets thun any scheme ever Invented by
"Old Hutch. "
Un the Other Side.
Mr. Poyntcr followed in a forty-five
minutes speech. In the bezinnlng ho said
that he wanted it understood that he ad'
milled that the republican party was ro-
tpoiiEible for tbo wonderful development of
this country and the great increase In wealth
during the last.thlrty years. Ho arraigned
the republican party for cheapeniuc the
necessaries of life nnd said that cheap cloth
lug meant cneap men. lie defended the in
come tax plank , but dodged the subtreasury
und the land losn bill , lie declared that the
government stump was all that was neces
sary to create money. He admitted tba
IX ) per cent of the business of th
country was transacted by checks and
drafu , nnd advocated government owner
ship of nil corporations , but failed to
sav where the eoverauient would
get the money to purchase them. He closed
bis address with an eloquent culoey of Gen
eral Field. He fenreutly appealed to the old
soldiers to vote for General Field and wipe
out sectional differences by olendine the
Ijlnc nnd the gray , declaring that General
Field wa ; > a sooa ano-jgh man for him to sup
port.
port.Mr. . MelKlejohn replied in a fifteen minutes
JtalK-f. Ho answered fcll the arguments ad
vanced "by Mr. Povnter. Mr. Poynter had
challenged Mr. Meiklejonn to show where
labor bad been benefited uy protection. Mr.
Meiklfjohu quoted the report of Labor Com
missioner PCCK of New York , showing
that the wapes of the laboring men
had been raised in the state of New York
fclnce tbe enactment of tbo McKlnlcv bill.
In conclusion he said that no could forgive
the soldiers of the south for what they bad
dooo. but that be could not farcct. Ho
asked why the country should forgot the
heroic deed * of an array that was grander
than Hannibal's , Crcsar's or Napolean's.
Ho asked tbe 3 oung mun if they did not have
a mother that bad buried a son ; if they
wanted to forget tbe memories of their dead.
He said ne did not want to vote for a man
that said in Virginia that the southern
urrales had killed 300,000 of tbe ooys in blue
nnd was terry they had not Killed 000,000 ,
and then at Omaha in July , 1S92 , said he was
not sorry for anything no had over done.
Joint Debate at Nellfh.
Ncuon. Neb. , Sept. 23. [ Special Tele-
cram to Tun BCE. ] At the fair crounds
today Candidates. Mclklrjobn and Poynter
met. in joint debate , Mr. Mciulcjohn bad the
opening and waded at unco into tbc issues of
lh < - day , taking up the tad ft first. He went
back in tbe history of tbe country nnd cora-
jiar d the four eras of free trade with the
lour ems of protection , contrasting the pros
perity of ibe ono with the depression of the
other. Tba nation's credit , he said , had
been Improved by tbe wise policy ol the rc-
publlcau pariv. until now the government
securities were eagerly sought at u premium ,
whereas under tbe old rule it was bard for
tbo Uultnd States to borrow money at 32 to
15 per cent interest.
He did not think that tbo people were
ready to go back to t&oso old free trade days ,
lu the bouth tbe faltes of the auction block
and slave markotb were occupied by busy
factories , built up and made possible by th&
policy of protection. Tbe direct results of
tbo McKmley tariff , as shown in tbo estab
lishment or tin mills in this country , were
portrayed and tbe figures supporting the
statements of tbe speauer were quoted. He
nlto gave figures showing bow tbo bard ware
trade of this country bad grown , while tbe
cost to tbe consumer bad boon lessened by
tbe tarift
The charge that strikes were the result of
protective tariff was answered by a showing
of tht ) number of strikes in free trade Eng
land. "Incrpnilng tbo number of factories
increases tbo consumption of farm pro
ducts. ' " tniu Mr. Meiklojobn. "and this
is one ot tbo benefits the farmer has derived
from tbo Innff. Wa now bare a homo mar
ket for 00 per cent of our farm products , and
tbo demand is crowing instead of falling
off. "
Ou the Financial Oucitlon.
On the financial questions the speaker
dwelt at soma length , taking up and com-
baltluein order the various propositions of
the independent parly made in the Oinaba
platform , nnd ending with n vivid picture of
Ibe future greatness of America under tbc
carrying out of tbe republican policy.
Mr. Poynter opeued his address with
the statement that he , too. bad tbe
pndo ot the nation at bean , nnd
wanted proper legislation He then
opened un the republican party , tak *
lnga tand directly opposite to that of Mr
Melklejonn. Under the policy of protection ,
be uiserted , the farmer * of tbe west were
bird for tbo capitalists of the eist. Tbc
statement ! made of tbe per cipitu wealu
of the nation were misleading. The Nen
Englander * absorbed tbe wealth produced ir
the netl and couth , und tbe farmers gel
nothing. Ilailroad creed , truit manlpulatioi
of prices aud corporation domination of everything -
thing in Mgbt u ere used in their order ai
arguments in ftvorof a change of policv.
Mr. Meiklejehn closed tbe debate in i
short answer to tbe arguments of Mr
Poynler , and & a parting scot Rtketl Poyti
terwby it was uis hired tnan did nolmaki
as much out of the farm as be ( Pointer ) did

, Neb. , Soot. 23. JSneclal Tele-
prara to THE BEE J Mr. Edward Kssowatcr
addressed the people at tha fair grounds this
afternoon , speaking for an hour nud a halt.
Tbo audience contained a fair sprinkling of
independents , who were anxious to compare
Tan Wyck's speech of yoiterday with Mr.
llojewater's today. The most respectful at
tention was given tnrousjbout the speeches ,
which were well received by all parlies
present.
Tbo speaker began by quoting the famous
saying of Ooju Swift , that the man who
causes two blades of grass to grow where
but one grew before is a public benefactor ,
and added that the man who accomplished
that rendered his country a greater service
than all the race of politicians put together.
He rtatcd that if the public is to take the
noiv reform parlv at Its word Nebraska is a
rood country to emigrate from. He then
proceeded to review the demand of the pee
ple's party and showed up the fallacy of pro
posing to make ail men rich by a stroke of
tbo pea.
The sneaker fully discussed the nature and
use of money and shotted conclusively that
with the proieut lanra ana constantly iu-
rre-mng output of stiver , the free coinage of
silver would drive go'd ' out of circulation ,
reopen the Wall street food parabllng dens
and put millions of money into the pockets of
the owners of silver mines at the expense of
all other industries Kaal money is not made
ol paper , but can bn created only by faoor ,
whether in the mining of silver ana cold ,
'
which are commodlties.'or the farm or in thi
work shops. Ho replied fullv to Von
Wyck's liat money tceorics and
quoted from the history of other couu-
tries in proof that wild cat schemes
tave always resulted in financial ruin-
'
meniionmg'in particular the Argentine He ,
puulic , with its flOJ per capita of cheap
money. He explained that no honest men
can pay his debts except in money of equal
value with that upon which the dtbt was
based.
He spoke of the rood old times of 1SC4 ,
when mustm sold at 40 cents per yard , spool
cotton at 13 cects , lumbcrat f 1 a taousatid ,
and when everything from the cradle to the
crave had to bo stamped , while the proceeds
of labor did not have half the purchasing
power it has now. He next turned to tno
transportation question and showed that
while the leaders of the new party clamor
for relief they have never made a single
effort to procure it. They talk about bujiug
UP the rai.ro.id and telegraph lines , but be
sides having nothinc to buy them with , they
have never oven drafted a bill to show their
sincerity in the matter. From P/cfler to
McKeighan not an independent in congress
has takan a single step toward the purchase
of railroads or telegraph lines. Van Wvck
"
snys he is in favor of a "reduction of freight
rates , but when be was in the senate be re
fused to assist In passing a bill for that pur
pose.
The speaker spoke from personal knowl
edge ot extravagance of the last legislature
and snowed that it had spent over S-J03.0DO
more of the people's money than its most ex-
trnvacrant. . predecessor.Th t a leKislatar8'
promised the farmer * that they xvould put
down the Shyloctt , but hayo tnsy done it !
Mr. Hosewatcr closed by Ravine that be be
lieved the rank and file of tbo party to bo
honest , but they were being led by men
whose only ooject was to get elected to office.

Ga. , Sept. 23. [ Special Telo-
I ram to THE Bnc. ] General J. B Weaver ,
presidential candidate of the third partv , has
abandoned the fight In tbo south. He and
Mrs. Lease were scheduled to speak bore to
night , and about S.OM wen , Including mem
bers ot the most disorderly clement of the
city , gathered nt the state capital r.s the
hour for speaking approached. Weaver nnd
Mrs. Lsase failed to appear , and the mob
took hold of things and for an hour pt.ude-
tnoniutn regnud. !
Last nigbt Tom Wetson , candidate for
oouercss frcm tbe Ttuth district , essayed to
speak at the capitol , but his volcu was
drowned by a mob which ihrongcd tbo
stute building. Everv indicnity was offered
him and he was compelled to leave the
rostrum.
General Weaver und Mrs. Lease arrived
here today after a stormy lour through a
portion of tbo state , durin ; which Mr.
Weaver mis bit iu tboeye with u rotten egg.
Weaver was assigned ID speak atllo'clocK
todav , but at that time the capitol was in the
hands of a mon and bo dared not make a
venture. The crowd took cornplelc posses
sion of the capitol. A mes .ae was received
from General Weaver to the effect that ho
would not speak at tbut hour , but nt nipht
would speak with Mrs. Lease at the capitol
and tUfv would fight the issuc out to the
close ,
Itccrlved nith .leer * .
This announcement wai received with
jeers and several local democrats took the
platform and enjoyed the ad vantage of i.pnk-
ing fiom such u public place. The capitol
was the scene of lively times for more than
an hour , then the crowd deserted the build
ing and it remained silent until tonight.
General "A'raver and Mrs Lea- were
scheduled to appeaat tbe cipitol at S o'clock
and a crowd numbering 5.0J3 uas ntvaitiug
them tbero all during tbe afternoon. Ru
mors ofa riot at the capitol tonight could be
heard , and it was evident that a warm recep
tion awaited tbe third party candidate for
the presidency and Mrs. Lease. These ru
mors wcra more pronounced during the
afternoon end prominent citizens raised par
ties to go to tbe capital with tbe understand
ing that they would wreck the meeting.
bo pronounced did tbe sentiment , a-ainst
Weaver and his associates become that when
nicn fell it was decided that Gcneril Weaver
and Mrs. Lease should not ipeik.
W. J. Northern , democratic governor of
tbe state and candidate for re-election , with
a fnw of his satellites then captured the
meeting and turned it into a democratic
jubilee. General Weaver has determined to
leave Georgia without n further tatempt to
speak here und be and his follower- , will go
to North Carolii.a tomorrow and after speak
ing in lialelcb , will leave Mason and Dixon's
line behind them. '
