ALBANY, n. Y. September 23.-lt is re
ported that Mr.. George 0. Jones resic ned
from the Craftsmanship Of the State Com
mittee of the Observation-Disclosures party, at its
meeting held in this city last Saturday, be-
cause he is convinced that the pretense to
build up permanent peoples party. Is
fraud; that the sole object of the work now
being done is to mislead the honest Green
hacker, Anti Monopolists, workingmen, and
disaffected Democrats, into trap to defeat
Mr.. Cleveland, and give the State to Mr..
Blaine at the coming election, and
thereby perpetuate a party in power
which has brought down the price OF labor
lower than ever before known in the coun-
try. After this the elements accomplishing
these ends are to be turned into the Dem
ocratic party, under leaders who hope here
afterto control its nominations. Mr.. Jones
declares that if this course is permitted to go
on it will ruin and destroy the Greenback
partv, because its leaders will show them
selves too unsophisticated to understand the
deep laid plans of scheming men and the
great moneyed interests, which they must
resist if their principles are ever to be car
ried out.
Mr.. Jones was called on at his home to-
lay. He declined to be interviewed, but
,aid he would go to New York tonight to
