POLITICAL DAY AT CHAUTAttUJA
Senators Dolllver and Stone Entertain
Auburn People.
AUBURN, Neb., Aug. 19. (Special.) Po
litical day at the Auburn Chautauqua is of
the past. It drew a big crowd and cer
tainly every one got his money's worth.
Hon. Qulncy Lee Morrow of Indiana was
the first speaker. Ha Is eloquent and the
address was marked by the ttrong Indi
viduality of the speaker. A large number
of people voted him the honor of being the
best speaker of the day.
It waa arranged between Senators Dol
llver and Stone that Senator Stone should
pen the debste with an address of an hour
and fifteen minutes, and that Senator Dol
llver should follow with an hour and a
half, and that Stone should havl fifteen
minutes to close. He announced that he
should divide his time In ths consideration
of the qualities of the candidates for presi
dent and tha platforms on which they stand,
but- most of his time was devoted to the
personality of the candidates, and- espe
cially to that of President Roosevelt Ho
asserted that President Roosevelt was far
too Impulsive, spectacular and erratic to
make a safe chief executive, and then he
spent three-quarters of an hour citing In
stances of what he regarded objectionable
conduct on the part of the president. He
criticised him for carrying a revolver, upon
one occaslor., and said it was a bad
example to young and to old; he lambasted
him for entertaining Booker T. Washing
ton and of appointing negro postmasters
in the south, and asserted the. purpose of
It was to catch the negro vote in Indiana
and other doubtful states. He then ob
jected to him for permitting the fleet In
Oyster bay to fire a salute In his honor
for ordering the fleet to the Mediterranean
on the report that the American consul had
been shot. He then laaded Parker as being
safe, deliberate and considerate, and then
launched on the money question and de
clared that the gold standard had not been
Irrevocably fixed and that It would come
up again. He got in about three minutes
in the tariff, when his time rsn out.
Senator Dolllver opened his address by
denouncing Mr. Stone's uttersnces trivial,
and by sharp thrusts created much merri
ment at the expense of the Mlssourlan. He
asked the crowd if they wanted to go back
to the conditions of 1898 and 1896 simply
because Roosevelt dined with -Booker T.
Washington. He said that Senator Stone
had deftly kept away frum the democratic
platform and shewed much wisdom in
doing so. Ha agreed with Stone that the
gold standard was not Irrevocably fixed,
and asserted that tha money question was
not settled for all time. He declared that
the gold standard was right and that its
friends should ba kept In power In order
that It should be maintained. He - de
scribed the conditions preceding the elec
tion of President McKlnlcy, and went Intq
tha history of the formation and paasage
of the Dlngley tariff law, and his part
therein as one of the members of ths com
mittee that framed It. The senator then
proposed questions for his opponent to
answer, and among others asked him what
he thought of Mr. Bryan's views of Mr,
Parker and the platform, and read extracts
from the Commoner, He asked him which
democratic platform ha was standing on,
ths one framed by the committee, which
waa silent on the money question, or the
Western Union platform. Both orators
vied with each other eulogising the mar
tyredMcKlnley. The sharp thrusts of Dolllver woke
Senator Stone up, and when he again
came to the platform he spoke more
jApldly and forcefully and drew applause
from the audience, which he failed to get
to any considerable extent In hla first ad
dress. Workman Mcnla a gneeesa.
