WILL STAY TO THE END.
Mr.. Watson. the Populist Vice Presidential
Candidate, Defines His Position.

New York. July 27.-The World this
morning publishes the following signed
dispatch from Thompson, Ga, signed
Thomas e. Watson:
ITO the questions asked me | reply az
follows:
Il. | will run the race to the end.
"2. | will make the fight even If Mr..
Sewall does not withdraw.
80 My opinion of the Fifty-second
COrfrNss which was arraigned in my
book, has undergone no change.
Il. am not political trader, and will
not resign in Sewall's favor, even if Of
fered a cabinet position.
Having answered your questions,
please allow me to state briefly my rea-
sons for the replies to questions num-
bers one and two:
Il allowed the use of my name TO save
my party from extinction.
I'm my opinion the continued existence
of the Peoples party is indispensable
to the success of free silver For me
TO withdraw would be for me TO sign the
death warrant of my party.
ours is the party of free silver and
we maintained that principle while
the Democratic party in 1892 and in
1898 was making war upon it. We do
no. think our party should now close
up and quit business simply because
the Democrats have partially duplicat-
ed the sign board.
IF the Democrats are so unreason-
able as to refuse us Populists of the
south any recognition at all that fact
would show that the real purpose of
their apparent adoption Of our princi-
pies IS to kill our party and not to en-
act those principles into law.
IF the Democrats are sincere they
will not try to put upon us such terms
that every man in our party a. the
south will feel Inundated and insulted.
"If Mr. Bryan did not want our support,
Senator Jones had no business at 81. Louis
at all. If Mr.. Bryan does want cur
support he ought to be willing TO adopt the
policy which will most certainly assure
him that support, ard that policy is 10 ac-
cept as a running mate a Southern Popu-
list, named by the unanimous voice Of the
Pcpuhst convention.
"Our party has gone to the extreme
limit Of generosity in the effort to procure
a union of the silver forces. We did not
claim first place or the national ticket;
we are content with the second

HERE'S TROUBLE.
NicholsOn's Men Receive a Sharp
Check from the Natives in South
Africa...The War Started Afresh

London. July 27.-The following Bull
uwayo despatch has besn received by
the Chronicle:
"Nicholson's patrol, three hundred
strong. were checked yesterday in mar
row gorge at the north end of the Ma
to9ho hills leading to Laughs strong
hold. The enemy in great strength oc-
cupied an impregnable position and they
were fully equipped with rifles and am
munition. The straightness Of their
shooting was remarkable.
The Cape boys with Nicholson's
patrol cleared the neighboring heights
of the enemy, killing twenty Of the re-
bells. but gallant attempt TO force a
passage was checked by a heavy fire
from the caves studding the mountain,
delivered at close range.
Nicholson lost five troopers and two
cape boys in a few minutes.
He, therefore, withdrew his forces
and returned TO the camp
A despatch to the Daily Telegraph
from Port Tuli says:
Lions are prevalent around the fort,
owing to the cattle dying of rinder
pest"
The Daily Telegraph also has des-
patch from Buluwayo which says:
General Darlington is raising VOL
unteer force Of fifty men.
Cecil Rhodes has arrived here.
"Taing'S recent fight south of MatO-
pho hills in which the Matabeles were
repulsed with a loss Of ninety killed was
with Lo Bengula's crack regiments
(Which had been carefully trained in
European methods OF warfare after the
conquest of MatabelelanG.
Gen. Darlington fears that nothing
is safe here"
Another Buluwayo despatch says that
in consequence of the repulse of Mich
olson by the Matabeles the imperial
troops have been telegraphed for.

20 FEET
Was the Highest Stage Reached by
the River Yesterday, and the
Waters are Now Recedlng--River
News.

The Register yesterday predicted
that the stage of water here would not
be higher than IS feet, but it went
twelve inches beyond that figure.
There was no occasion for alarm, and
the danger has now passed, without
any damage having been done to prop
erty. Except on extremely low grounds
the river did not overflow its banks.
The water came up rapidly Saturday
night, but the rise was more gradual
during the day. AT three o'clock in the
afternoon the marks on the landing
here showed a stage of IS feet inches,
and for the next two or three hours the
rise was less than two inches an hour
AT ten o'clock the water was stationary
with 20 feet in the channel, and before
midnight it had started to recede. The
river is falling at all points above,
and will be falling rapidly here today.
The Big packets, the keystone State,
for Pittsburg, and the Virginia for Gin
cinnai, both had splendid trips into
this port. The Virginia had an unusu-
ally large number of round-trippers.
The Woodruff is tied up below the
Bellaire bridge.
The liberty will be the Parkersburg
packet today.

NO ANSWER

Washington, July 26.-No answer
has as yet been received by the State
Department from Edward p. T. Ham
mond, United States Consul at Buda
Pest, who has been asked to resign.
State Department officials decline to
discuss the published statements that
charges have been filed against the
consul. but merely say that his resigna-
ZION has been asked for because he
was not acceptable to the Austrian
government" Friends have interven-
ed in Mr.. Hammonds behalf, but the
Department recognizes the right of for
eign governments to insist in the with
drawal Of officials who may be obnOx-
ious to them.

POINT PLEASANT. w. VA. July "a
As I am sojourning here for a short time
l thought l would write you few lines
and ask for their insertion in your vaiu-
able paper, and by so doing give the peo-
pie an idea of what a change Of front IS
taking place here in politics. In CONVERSE
ton with a number of Democrats and Re
publicans l find a great number OF the
latter who will hereafter affiliate, work
and vote with the Democratic party.
Prominent among them are such men as
Hon. Jas. B. Menager, the brainy and bril-
hang attorney who has been a prominent
leader in the Republican party. He is now
doing yeoman service for the party in this
county. A few days ago a Mr. Chas r..
Mccullough, one of the largest and most
prominent farmers, whose heart and soul
were devoted to the z. o. p. came out IN
the Daily Register of this place in letter
severing himself from that party. The iet-
ter was like bomb shell in the camp OF
the enemy It would be utterly impossible
for me TO give you an idea Of the number or
such persons at this time. l find but very
few Democrats who will vote for Mckin-
ley. While a few of them are not salts
fed entirely with the Chicago platform,
they will almost to a man support the
ticket.
AS to- the gubernatorial nomination.
everybody here is enthusiastically for the
nomination of Gen. Watts. and in the
event of his nomination predict his cleo
ton by from ten to fifteen thousand ma
jority. You can look for good results
from this stronghold of Republicanism.
The Republicans here are heartsick and
discouraged. look for this county to give
large Democratic majority, at least the
wish is father to the thought of yours,

Hanna said he had been asked by re-
porter if he was willing to meet Mr.
Witt, of the Central Labor Union, and
he had replied that he was willing to
do so. The question was asked because
the Central Labor Union had PROFOUND
ed to Mr.. Hanna series of queries af-
fecting his relations with labor. Mr..
Hanna said he had heard nothing more
about the matter, and that Mr.. Witt
failed to come. That was all there was
to it,
