A good game of foot ball was played
at Rich's field, Saturday forenoon. the
teams being the freshmen of Cony
High of Augusta and the Gardiner
High. Cony opened with the kick off,
and Pierce made touchdown around
the end after bucking the line for
few times. On the kick off, Kane
stopped punt and again Pierce made
a long run and touchdown, no goal.
By bucking center and tackle, another
touchdown was scored but Bolger

BUTLER TO WATSON.
Answer TO Famous Letter that Never Came
That is. on lime.

Washington, Nov Ex-senator Mar
ion Butler. chairman Of the PopuIist
national campaign committee. today.
made public the following letter that
he addressed to Mr.. Watson two days
after the receipt Of the latter's letter
of acceptance:
Dear Sir: Your letter of accept
aace received. Saturday night. Ii had
been detained in the postoffice for
want OF sufficient postage. You. in at
feet advise the Populists not to sup
port the joint electoral tickets ar
ranged in a large number of states.
Is it possible you fully appreciate the
effect OF such advice? At least upon
reflection. you must know that if
enough Populists should follow such
advice. it would mean the defeat of
Bryan and the election of Mckinley.
Besides, if your advice should be
followed by enough Populsts, the
elector in the electoral college. In the
states where we have joint electoral
tickets, we will get every elector we
do get. Besides, it is in those states
that we will get the bulk, if not all of
the Peoples party congressman. In
your own state, and other states which
have followed your advice against the
electoral tickets, we will not get
single elector. and | fear not many
congressman. if any.
You certainly cannot mean, how
ever much you have favored mid
die of the-road" policy in the begin
ming, to advise your friends to do that
which at this time would be the most
effective agency in placing in power
Mckinley and his backers-the trusts
and monopolies. Can any personal or
party injustice however great, justify
US in being responsible. either directly
or indirectly for placing in power stock
ish gold ring and all the combined
robbers of the people and the enemies
of good government
In the name of an outraged and
suffering humanity, whose prayers to-
day go up from millions of homes for
VIM. j. Bryan in his heroic and mar
velous struggle against the minions of
corporate greed, and the hellish gold
conspiracy. let us sink every other
consideration. hold up our hands and
90 the full duty of Americans and
patriots. Let us remember that it is
suffering people and betrayed re-
public. and not Democratic politicians.
that today call for our help and de-
mand our services. Bryan will be
elected and the government redeemed
if every patriot does his duty. Let us
do ours.
Therefore, l beseech you to change
at least that part of your letter which
gives advice. which, if followed, would
surely help the common enemy. If
you do not, then yourself must assume
the responsibility of giving such a
document to the public at this time"

THE CUBAN SITUATION.
We Don't Court Trouble But Will Be Ready II
il Comes.

Washington, Nov. 15.-Many state
ments respecting the attitude of the
administration on the Cuban question
have been circulated during the past
week and various articles of con-
letting character distributed through
out the country. The President has
said that he does not anticipate any
trouble with Spain over the Cuban
situation. and that there is no inten-
ton to change the policy respecting
the matter which was laid down by
the administration, year ago. In ad
dition to this members of the cabinet
have stated that the Cuban matter
would he left for the new administra
ton to settle.
While following such course may be
the intention of President Cleveland $
administration, the facts warrant the
statement that Should and emergency
arise requiring prompt and decisive
action. the several departments of the
government will be found keenly alive
to the requirements of the occasion
and amply provided for it.
Measures of a precautionary char
acter taken to meet any critical con-
ditions which may arise; in other
words. the United States is judiciously
continuing the work of strengthening
Notifications and works of defence,
which have been in progress for sew
eral years. and will thereby be pre-
pared to change its policy should it
he deemed advisable to do so.
Investigation proves that army Off
GERS along the Atlantic coast are push
ing the work in their several depart
ments with all possible dispatch and
have orders to have certain classes of
heavy ordnance ready for use at an
early day as possible. Every precau-
ton for secrecy has been taken and
the officers located at the navy yards
decline to discuss the unusual activity
Secretary Lamont has said that he
is trying to make some return in the
finished works of defense for the great
expenditures made in that direction.
There is no doubt that the maxim in
time of peace prepare for war" has
been passed along the line.
No well-informed official anticipates
trouble, but as one of them said, to-
night: 1T is like fire drill on board
ship. We want to know that every
body would be ready if a fire should
