It was a pretty day and a crowd of Local and Personal. Harry Caman went to Topeka last night. Dyeing, cleaning and repairing dooe in first-class style by Ed.

A special train was'run from Medicine Lodge and brought in about 300 people. A poll of the voters on this train showed 96 for Simpson and 66 for Long. It was not difficult for some to detect that the Simpson badges predomi Wendell McLaughlin of Wichita, was here last night enroute home from Harper, where he took a stenographic report of the debate.

It quietly leaked out Monday night thai Lbnir to give Jerry a terrible "skinning" at Harper. If Long ever entertained such an idea he abandoned it when the time came.

This was verified when vote was taken by in the audience.

He first asked all those who had gold in their pockets to raise their hands. Two responded; thea those who had silver showed up. Now says Simpson, "all you fellows who are going to vote for the 'existing gold want to see your hands; put 'em up!" A large number of hands were raised but it was easy to see that they were widely scattered and comparatively few in number. "Now all who expect to vote this fall to add silver to our coinage, I wat to see your hands!" Instantly the whole audience seemed to move and a mighty shout went up. There seemed to be almost three to one.

This vote was taken near the close of his speech. Mr, Simpson was at his best and did even better than he did in Wellington. At times he seemed almost inspired. He made many new points and drove them home. He drove Mr.

Long clear away from his French Monetary Report, on the point concerning the parity and, circulation of both gold and silver in France from 1803 to 1873, by an undisputed English authority showing the gold premium to be merely the cost of exchange between London and Paris. Mr. Long abondoned the issue on this point; did not even refer to it. Mr. Simpson also showed that the limited coinage act under which Mr.

Long claimed so much silver coinage, was vetoed by a Republican president and opposed by a Republican congress passed by Democrats. The Republican party had fought every effort to increase silver coinage, and in its present platform made no promise whatever of adding a single dollar to our present silver circulation. This point was a very effective one with the audience. Mr. Long renewed his questions and Mr.

Simpson answered them again, saying that he had answered everyone of them before. "The trouble" said Jerry "is that they wont stay answered." He said at the start he would not allow Mr. Long to divert the discussion from the financial question by propounding irrelevant questions. Most any. fool could ask a question but it took a wise man to answer them.

Mr. Long propounded the following additional questions, which moved Jerry to remark (sotto voice) that if Long should ask if he (Simpson) in land is as indofensible as property in man? There is no mistaking that Long Leave your order at M. J. Kain's tailor shop. was badly worsted in the debate.

Our father who art in England, Rothschilds be thy name, thy kingdom come to America, thy will be done in England; give us this day our bonds in gold, but not in silver; give us plenty, of labor-ingmen's votes to keep monopoly in power and its friends in office. We know, our father, that we have done many things that were wrong; we have robbed the honest poor man: we know that it was wrong to refund the bonds and make them payable in coin; we know it was wrong to water our stocks, but thou knowest we made money at that. Now, our father, thou knowest we are above politics. It is the same to thee whether gold Democrats or Republicans rule, for' knowest we are able to sway side parties in our favor. Lead us not in the way of common people, the farmer or laborer; and above all things deliver us from 16 to 1.
