Is a ft person TO be paroled. In Morris
County, where OfConnen committed his
crime. there is a general wave OF indig-
nation over the action of the Court of
Pardons. The Prosecutor claims that he
was not notified by the Court OF their
proposed action, and If he had been he
would have opposed the paroling of this
man. His petition for pardon has been
pending for several years. Senator Werts
was his counsel, and the Morris County
,JeTSedpnd1L says that he was known as
an ugly, vicious man, and the verdict
should have been murder in the first de-
gree instead Of the second. Some idiots
are trying to make q story out of the re-
markable coincidence that O'Connell,
Senator Werts and a majority OF the
Court are Democrats.
OsConnell murdered John Smith IN a
cowardly manner. The victim was pass
ing through some ground on his way to

years. O'Connell claimed it as his own

The Farmers Alliance Circular

G. p. Atkinson, State Organizer for
the Farmers Alliance in New Jersey,
has issued a circular in which he dis
cusses the fate of the Third Party. ="
His conclusions are as misty as most
of the writings OF his colleagues. but,
in general, his idea seems to be that
from the Farmers Alliance movement
will result a coalition of the Republic
can and Democratic parties, so that
the country will then have but two.
This, In MI. Atkinson's mind, would
amount to a well-deined conflict be-
tween labor and its oppressors. and
he would view 1t with satisfaction
This shows how much Mr.. Atkinson
knows about the Democratic party.
Unjust taxation, extravagant legisla-
ton, and oppressive commercial re-
strictions are the true grievances of
the people. These, with a general
tendency toward Capitalization of
government. are the essential charac-
teristics of Republican effort. The
OetuOcTatlC party was AO'SA w
obviously arrayed in opposition. The
proceedings Of the last Congress have
made this perfectly clear. Those who
object to this conduct Of national
affairs are already united in the Demo-
cratic ranks.
The Farmers Alliance present no
basis OF union exceptthe wild schemes
of finance which PETER and other
cranks have formulated. Nothing but
an approval of those errors a take
any man out of the Democratic party
and into the Farmers Alliance.
Those who go but viii find themselves
in a third party Tor counting the Pro
hibitionists, a fourtl) so long as Re-
p~ublicanism exists as a second. The
Alliance party has won some doubt
full local victories. 1t is no nearer a
national success than 1t was on the
first day Of its life.
