claims to have been an active Union

His efforts in behalf of the Union party
must have been quite .obacura and
feeble. We are satisfied, if heIworks 10

Workingmen's candidates for the Com
mon Council are elected, lths schools Of
our city will be at the mercy of Jesuits
for the ensuing year. Look at the can

Joseph Reitz, Archie Sullivan, ell mem

John Gavisk, James McKeever,, John
Burke, James Fitzwiilidms, Pat. Boyle,

the habit Of denouncing secret societies,
and Boosting that IL was against the pre-
cepts and principlessof their church, for
Catholics to become members Of such
societies-are, all at once, active mem
bers of an oath-bound, secret organiza-

use for, sinister purposes. Nothing 50
impudent, as the attempt of these men
to use the Workingnen to vote down the
Workingmen's Schools, ever came under

We warn the Workingmen against

They care nothing for the Eight Hour
movement. They would repudiate and
