were Catholics.

name one Catholic whom the wing found iu office
( that they did not turn out. and ask 1t to nam,
any Catholic Ia Illinois who has been appointed
. to office by the wings.

we'd from the office Of L. ; District Attorney
because be was a Catholic. II not, We wished to
( know whv he was removed. But the Journal
/ lodged tins, the mos: important question and
proceeded o. dycrt attention from tbs Uro.crp

Supwhuuhs removal. Aud ,huse reasons were
entirely destitute OF truth AMI, con- ,dyuns the
