HON. JERRY SIMPSON.
THE FARMERS ALLIANCE ORATOR ON
THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.
An Alliance Candidate for the Presidency.

IBy telegraph % ths pIspa.ch.l

New YORK. March 30.--An evening paper
says that Congressman Jerry Simpson, oil
Kansas, the noted Farmers Alliance
orator, was at the Windsor Hotel to-day.
He occupied six-dollar-a-day room and
seemed to be perfectly at home in the hotel
where millionaires stop.
This dialogue took place between Mr..
Simpson and a reporter:
"Some OF the Republican papers In New
Hampshire say Senator Chandler invited
you TO speak in that State, did hep"
Il have never heard anything ABOUT IL.
spoke there under the auspices OF the
Farmers Alliance. II is rather queer that
/ should be accused of being an ally OF the
Republicans in the North. Now. in the
South the Democrats declare the Farmers
Alliance is in with the Republicans, and In
the North the Republicans declare we are
nothing but Democrats. And between the
two we go ahead, gather strength. and IN
1892 both parties will see what we are and
whether we can paddle our own canoe"
THE PRESIDENCY.
do you expect to run candidate OF
your own for the presidency"
II think so, but cannot say yet. Next
year some time we will have big con-
ference and decide what we shall DO. IL
looks to me as if we should be able to put
a candidate into the field and win"
You are accused of helping TO elect
Senator Palmer. Did you lend him any
aid!"
HE WENT BIZ sPRrNGFTELD.
well, I went by Springfield and am
not sorry that Mr.. Palmer Is elected sem
ator. Why should / not want to see him
elected senator We want to hold the
balance of power in the Senate and in the
House, and naturally did not wish to see
a Republican elected because 1T would les
sen our chances in the Senate"
How do you expect to have the balance
of power in the Senate by the election OF
Senator Palmer"
Easy enough. He is Democrat, and
will vote against protection and against
the Republicans on every vital issue.
Well, with PETER and Kyle and tho seve-
raj silver senators from the West,
the Alliance expects TO repeal the present
tariff. That is our aim, and do not think
we can fail"
Mr.. Simpson said Chicago had taller
buildings than New York. some of them
being twenty stories high. This is his
first visit to New York and he intends to
see the city thoroughly. His address will
not be the Windsor Hotel after to-day. but
IN care Of Henry George.

JUDGMENT RECOVERED.
A Case Growing Out of the Struggle for
Possession of Paper.
rRv teIegraph 10 the Dispatch.1


(By telegraph to the Dispatch.l
OTTAWA, ILL.,, March 3O.-In the appeal
of James j. West against the people the
Judgment of the court below is reversed
and the case remanded. The opinion does
not enter into the merits of Vests guilt
or innocence, but deals exclusively with
the lower courts rulings and instructions
ana the indictment. IN both of which err
rors are discovered. The case grows out
of struggle for possession of the Chicago
Times. Several years ago Mr.. West and
Clinton A. Snowden, then owners of the
Mai, an afternoon paper. secured the CO.
operation of the Huiskamp Brothers
and other wealthy capitalists of Keo-
kuk Iowa. and bought the Times from the
heirs of It's founder, the late Wilbur L.
Storey. West was installed as manager of
the paper on behalf of the syndicate. The
company became so largely involved by
the extravagant management of West that
the Huiskamps and their associates found
it necessary to GUST Mr.. West from the
management in order to protect the prop
erty. An investigation OF the affairs of the
company disclosed the tact that there was
an oyer-issue of stock to the extent of sew
eral hundred shares. Criminal proceed
ings were at once instituted against West
and the secretary of the company, Graham.
West was found guilty and sentenced to
five years imprisonment IN the state
prison, while Graham was acquitted. An
appeal was taken to the Supreme Court,
which rendered its decision to-day.
