From the Catholic Telegraph (Arch-

that party (the Democrats) had refused
to recognize that claim (of the Catholics)
by the rejection of Mr.. Geghan in con-
this county would have been overwhelm-
ing.

have for some years been very common
in Democratic districts.
Bishop McQuaid, at Cincinnati, used
this language: II stand here and say,
that unless we bring this thing of the
school taxes to the public ballot, we do
not deserve the name of Catholics. 1t
may not be necessary to bring it to the
