McCoan, member of parliament for Wick

his withdrawal from the Parnellite party, says
his reason for severing his connection with
the party, besides oifense at Parnell's action
in his (McCoan's) affair with 0'Kelly, is that its
aims and methods have long ceased to be
those to which he subscribed three years
ago; he can not therefore conscientiously
remain in it. McCoan has also
written to The Frcemans journal regarding
his withdrawal from the Parnellite party In
it he says the aims of four or five gentlemen
who obviously force Parnell's hand have long
developed beyond the policy OF honest land
reform and federal home rule. He says he
cannot continue to maintain eyen NOM
inal relations with yelled communism
and rebellion. He asserts that there are
other men in the party who think as he does,
but they are cewed by fear for their seats in
the house of commons, which is hard to under
stand in honest men. McCoan says he win
not shrink from asking the Judgment of his
constituents on his action. go
