battle these were occupied by our
troops. During the artillery battle
our troops did effective work. At four
O'Clock in the afternoon the enemy

C. o. p. USING WATsoN's SPEECH

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-Considera-
Bile interest has been aroused among
the politicians of all parties by the
report that Republican headquarters
here are sending out thousands of
copies of Thomas p. Watson's speech
of acceptance of the Populist nomina-
tion for the presidency in the hope of
estranging the voters of the Bryan
Democrats from the national Demo
cratic ticket. Many Republicans and
Democrats too, do net hesitate to say
that Watson's speech is the strongest
yet made against the Democratic tick
ct, and that it will do the Republicans
more good than any, not excepting
that of Elihu Root in opening the ma
ional Republican convention.
