The Seymour Record says: "The as- sassin of Mayor Harrison of Chicago IS .one of a piece" with the Haymarket murderers whom Gov Altgeld recently pardoned. This latest william should be so summarily dealt with that no future Alt0eld will have chance to curry favor with the criminal classes by par doning him. The anarchistic rewspa- pers are largely responsible for such murders and even Connecticut has pa- pers which, while they may condemn the murders, are catering to the same class and preparing the minds of their readers for similar villainy."
