YOU ARE DEMOCRAT

and, of course, want a democratic
newspaper. THE CHICAGO DIS
PATCH is the Great Democratic
Weekly Newspaper OF the Country.
1t advocates the readoption of the
platform and the denomination of
William Jennings BRYAN.
There has never been q political
campaign that will equal in import
ance that of the one TO be fought
next year. The republican party,
backed by the money power OF this
country and Europe. is alert and ag-
gressive. Flushed with the victory Of
three years ago it will seek by every
means in its power to maintain its
supremacy.
Democrats must be up and doing.
They must wage an unceasiDg war
upon their enemies. In no better and
more effective way can this be done
than by the circulation Of a good,
sound democratic newspaper. The
Publisher of THE CHICAGO DISPATCH
will send 10 every new subscriber for
three months a copy of The CHICAGO
DISPATCH for ten cents. If you are
not already taking this great politi-
cal weekly, send in ten cents at once.
You should not only do this yourself,
but you should induce all yeur friends
TO join with you. By a little effort
Won can easily raise a club of ten or
twenty subscribers.
THE CHICAGO DISPATCH Is Endorsed
by William Jennings Bryan and
other democratic leaders.

BY COntending Forces.

Glencoe Camp, Oct. DO, 900 p.
III. After eight hours OF continuous
heavy fighting. Talana Hill was car.
ried bv the Dublin Fusileers and the
Kings Rifles, under cover of a well
directed artillery fire by the thir-
teenth and sixty-ninth batteries.
The Beers who threatened the Brit
ish rear have retired.
The fight was almost an exact
counterpart of that OF the Maiuba
Hill, except that the positions of the
Boer and British forces We're reversed
General Symons was severely but
not dangerously wounded.
London, Oct 20-The reported
Boer attack on the British position
at Glencoe was confirmed early to-
day. and, thanks to the prompti-
tude OF the war office, whose mes
sages naturally take precedence, in
publishing the official dispatches
from Sir George Stewart White, the
public has been enabled to follow the
contest and to discriminate between
the actualities and the unreliab BILE ru-
mors that have flooded the papers.
1t appears that during the night
the Boer artillery occupied hill nm
handing the British camp and began
dropping shells at daybreak in the
direction OF the British forces. The
latter, under Gen. Sir William Penn
Symons, promptly accepted the chal-
lenge and moved to meet the invad
ers under cover of the British artll-
lery, which appears to have been
worked with such advantage as to
quickly science theenemy's batteries,
enabling the infantry to carry the
Boer position with Il rush, in which
the Dublin fusiIeers and the Kings
Rifles are said to have specially dis
tinguished themselves, the fusileers
capturing the first guns of the enemy
taken in the present campaign.
Later advices from Kafekimg, by
way of Kimberley, reiterate the story
of Boer repuIse there with severe
losses, The British had Corporals
Walsh and Parland killed and four
teen men wounded
London, Oct. 20.-A dispatch from
Glencoe camp says that Sir William
Penn Symons was wounded in the
stomach and that General Yule has
assumed command.
