What shaking OF dry bones there has
been among the Populist press. First the
News referred 10 the nondescript office
seekers as Goats" then Col. Lyon pub
ncly announced that he was no longer
responsible for the editorial utterances Of
that paper: next the News told how the

wall or had plunged over precipice; and
finally II announces that IL intends TO be
strictly independent and 10 support Whom

hard-earned money for stock. :
