PAPER OF THE PoPUL1srs.
Watson's New Organ to Make no Pre-

Atlanta, Ga, July 3.-The populist
daily will make its appearance tomorrow
afternoon. Col. Thomas 6. Watson, edi-
tor in chief. and Charles f. NcGregor,
who viii act as managing editor. have
both been here some days perfecting ar
engagements for the debut Of this paper.
Mr.. Watson left this afternoon for Ma
con, where he will take part in the big
populist rally tomorrow, and will there
fore be deprived Of the pleasure Of seeing
the new paper out.
When asked this afternoon about the
details Of the publication Of the new pa

raised about something in connection
with the publication arrangements, and

the public business. + rom other sources
however, IL was learned that the popuLst
campaigners have entered into contract
with the journal 10 stereotype and PRINT

for four months only. which

paper is to be only a campaign sheet.

made bold talk about launching the paper
on a sound basis, but there is every indi-
cation that there IS no money at all to
speak of behind il. Before the contract
was made with the Journal it is under
stood that at least one printing house
turned the populist editor down because
the demand for security was not complied
with. The paper will make no pretension
to being a newspaper. There is no local
force in sight, and no press service.
