Washington, August .--(Spectal.l Republican official domain in Wash< ington Is jubilant because of what te considers the suspicious beginning or the rehabftation of the Poputfse Party. the notification and acceptance speeches of Watson and Tibbles. iu New York last night. being the flcur-l ish of trumpets announcing the start~d ing of a personally conducted excur-j sion back from the grave. with the Gs. O. P. in the role of guide and drago~l man. Republican officials who were loud~ est in condemnation of LaFolette, tho Wisconsin radical. who controls rafl-i roads. are delighted" with the speecl5 of MT. Watson, who would have the government not only control. but own railroads. Officials who declared that utterances of the leaders of the West-l ern Federation of Miners in Coloradol are evidences of anarchy sufficient t0i
 justify deportation. gladly acclaim to-I Cleveland and defends Altgeld in thaf matter Of the strike of 1893. It appears to be significant that theg recrudescence of the Populist move-l | ment has it's first and greatest mani{ | festation in New York City, Repub~ | lican leaders this year being reasons | ably sure of Kansas and Nebraska. bual | G. 0.

 There is some complaint about tha fardiness of the Democratic Campaign Committees in getting to work. but
 this comes from those who have for- gotten. the usual course of presidential
 campaigns. The letters of acceptanca are seldom given out until the middle
 of September and until then the came

 Late arrivals from West Virginia
 bring assurances which seem to make
 that State certain for the Democratio
 ticket. Former Senator Davis Is ex- lceedingly popular.

 much importing of negro voters) which will be stopped at the coming election. Democrats are reused all over the State and have undoubtedly cast off the ap-
