HietiNgs, Neb., Sept. 8.—[Special Telo- gramto Tue Bee.]—The great attraction of the Adams county fair here today was tho debate between Harlan and McKeighan, Promptly at 2 o'clock the rivals took seats on the platform in the front of the amphitheater amid cheers from ths 8,000 persons present. Mr. McKeighan began the debato by read- ing what he called Nebraska's declaration of indcpendence. The republican party had made no schedule of freight rates during its reign, he said, and he challenged Harlan to disprove the declaration. He impeached the conduct of the republican party on the silver question and accused Harlan of knifing Van Wyck and produced a state record on tho question. He next treated of the MeKinley bill, which ho de- nounced as a trust document and read an ex- tract from a furniture magazine to show that this bill would paralyze that industry. Blaine, Paddock and Manderson protest against thi bill-he would not vote for a bill like the Me- Kinley bill and hie wanted to know if Harlan would obey his constitueney or the party whip. He declared that the tariff was a tax and said that the time bad come when the people of Nebraska could na longer live on v brought from the east by real estate Having spoken for fifty minutes he amid frantic applause from tho democ part of the audience, Mr. Harlau said that he was glad to be able to speak to an audience containing so many of the wives and mothers of the coun He began his political career in 1885, when he was clected to the legislature, He was a re- publican: McKeighans had his record down fine, but some people find it advantageous at times to lead others away from thelr own is no_democrat, Harl sat dow ied through, us @ fri A fortified his position by veading a lette Van Wyck vindicating bim from all s picion " of treachery This letter was reccived with applause, Then he spoke on the silver question, Itwas arcpub- lican supreme court that vestored greenbacks to alegal tende: Blaine introduced a bill providing for the unlimited colnage of silver, while Cleveland, in a letter which he read, argues for a reduction of silver currency He dido’'t know what ticket McKeignan would vote, as he was on two. He said that hewas in_favor of unlimited coinage of sil- ver. He didnot deny that there were hard times, but said toat the cause was too many miuddlemen. He then spoke for some time on the railroad phase of the discussion. MeKeighan had said that when he came to Nebraska rates were 40 cents a hundred from the Missouri river to Chicago; they are now 17 cents, He knew that railroads could make a New Yorkand an Omaha and they could draw corn from_the country to the "center. Calico costs 4 or 5 cents a yard and the tariff on it is the same as the cost. If the tariffis a tax, where does it come? The same about railroad iron and shingle neils. If he went to Washington he would votewith the re- caucuses with them, although that did not imply that he would vote that way. The dumu'x atic !l)l(,cl\.t were the ones that killed Time was called and he yielded to Mr. Me- Keighan fora ten minutes® reply, after which Hurlan took his turn. MeKeighan closed tho debate with a_five- minute rebuttal and the debate was over. The audience dispersed after yells, cheers and tigers.

CicaGo, Sept 8.—A bill was filed in the cireuit court this morning on behalf of the city of Chicago against City Treasurer Roe- sing and several banks for an accounting of the interest on the city’s money placed in the banks by Roesing. This is an opening up of the old question which the city attoruey wishes to settle definitely. For years it hus been the custom of the city treasurer to de- posit the city fundsin banis and to retain the interest thereon as & personal perquisite, This made theoffice a very de- sirable one, as the interest has for a dozen years past amounted to between £50,000 and $75,000 por yoar. . The bill filed today charios that deposits were made by Roesing underan agreement with the banks by which he was to derive the pecuniary profit for himself, presumably in the same manner as th at men tioned above. e Troublous Times at Deadwo d.
