to detract from his strength and havo

antls have worked this point TO great
effect and there was all day yesterday
an apprcclnblc sign that Mr. Watts was
losing ground.
The opposition played trump card
yesterday when they sprung state
mcnt from Joseph Renshaw. secretary
OF the West Virginia Southern Railway,
to the effect that MS late us Mny !, Of
