There was a joint discussion of the silver question at Brushwefod school house by Estell Pierson, Republican, and Walter Harriugton populist, and Mr. Harrington first spoke" put forth the free silver principles in an atye manner, aud elicited a great deal of applause. Mr. Pierson followed with a good Republican speech, which was delivered two years ago in the house of i epreseutatives;

with this and twenty square feet of figures and statistics, he proved satisfactorily that we are more prosperous at present than ever before.
