press ground that education is nothing which
is not Roman Catholic They say they have
! to build their own schools. So do presbyter-
ians and MIethodists who do not send their
children to the public schools. The pretense
is as shallow as it is vain and worthless. Then
they unite with the infidels to put the Bible
out of the schools, in order to make them OBJ
nexious, which did not succeed. Now they
feel like Haman, who was not satisfied while
Mordecai, the Jew, sitteth at the Kings gate.
They must set hold of the State institutions,
hence the intrigue with the Democratic party.
Here is the proof:
The Catholic Telegraph is the mouth-piece of
the Roman priests, and it tells the Democrats:
We appeal to the Democratic party in the
name of Catholic citizens, because they only
were aggrieved. +"* We plainly said, and
we would have repeated it, if the measure had
been defeated, that the party would meet with
the resentment of Catholic citizens if it did not
support the bill. Could it expect any other
result?
The Geghan bill was proposed to the Demo-
Gratis by the Romanists. The Democratic party
they enacted it in obedience to the Papacy
without groan. The CgeUeland Plain Derler
and other Democrats say it is right. The fact
still remains that the ninth man governed the
Democrats, and now claims them as his cap
tive property. Now, what is to be the re-
ward? Sweeney, Connolly and Tweed receiv-
ed the unbroken vote of the Irish Catholic of
New York, and it would be ungrateful to the
last degree if the Democratic leaders in Ohio
can not get something for yielding to the Pope.
So, here we have the Papal promise through
his organ, the Telegraph:
The unbroken solid vote of the Catholic
citizens of this State will be given to the Dem
ocracy at the fall election.
Again it says, referring to the Democrats:
We shall be their political friends in the
hour of need.
Here is the. alliance, and it remains to be
seen whether it will be fully ratified by the
eight -ninths of the people of this State, who
have fondly believed that they lived under
democratic government, and had some right to
their own opinions The scenes at Columbus
last winter were pitiful. No political opponent
could have believed that the Democratic rep
presentatives could have so lost all political in
dependence and all moral control They must
be left to their constituents, and no man can
envey the position they have assumed.
