Telegram from Jerry Simpson
announces that the populists
"hold the fort" at Topeka. Just
got a decision from Supreme
Court in their favor. House or
ganized by the populists against
republicans and democrats-and
it. is recognized by the senate
and governor. This shows the

been advanced on the calendar.
Wall ST. princes are almost stag
gered at the devilish work of
their own bill, and some of them
have broken from British con-
