People's Pilot, Volume 5, Number 19, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 31 October 1895 — Joint Debale [ARTICLE]

Joint Debale

W. I. McCullough of Benton county was a pleasant caller at the Pilot office last Saturday. Mr. McCollough and J. W. Swan representing the populist principles, are to meet Mr. Brice and an associate representing the opposite policy, in politics in a series of joint debates, beginning at Wadena Nov., 6th. Nov., 8, the second date, the debate will be continued at Wadena. The next dates are for Lochiel Tuesday and Thursday nights, Nov. 12th and 14th. Each party is to name the needs of the country and state the remedy. Gentlemen Swan and McCullough will lead the first evening and Mr. Brice and his colleague will do so the second evening. The debates will be continued for several weeks if sufficient interest becomes manifested to warrant a continuance. Carlisle boasts of having stopped the coinage of silver, but true to his record for inconsistency he is going home to Kentucky next Tuesday to vote for an uncompromising 16 to 1 candidate for govenor, Wat Hardin. “Coxey’s Daily” Massillon, Ohio, is a recent addition to populist journalism. It is a hummer, and is playing its part in the hot campaign of Ohio. The people’s party occupies second place in twenty two states and territories.
