...debate was then thrown open to the house and the speaking continued with enthusiasm until 10.50 o'clock. The chair first recognized Mr. L. McK. Garrison, L. S., who stated that the forgeries from the London Spectator and Times were still circulated by the Republicans. The comparison between English and American prices, also issued as a campaign document, was too indefinite to be criticized. There were twenty more who contended for the floor...
