Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1873-1877, 1876-10-31


The largest ineidentsl interest having
reference to this campaign is that of the
defense and maintenance OF the free
school system Of the United States
against the dangers OF Catholic en-
eroachnent. Half loaf is better than

steadily in visw. make no hesitation in
throwing the weight Of their influence
in favor Of Tildep, Presbyterian though
he be. Their motto is Measures. not
Men. Republicanisn and protection Of
the free schools go hand in hand. Any
thing and everything is Of secondary
consideration to the possession Of power
in the eyes of the Democratic party.

The Presidential candidate of his party
for vote for himself for Constable or
Alderman, so the Democracy sink every
thing for the sake OF success. The COM
mon school system, the national debt,
the national honor, the Union. anything,
everything the Democracy would barter
away for place and power. The Romish
priesthood know this. They also know
that the Southern Democracy are openly
inimical to the free school system. The
most popular present mode of Demo-
cratic enlightenment" at the South is
obtained by burning negro school
houses. The favorite amusement there
is the foggins Of Yankee school teach
ers and the degradation of the profess
sion Of teaching. The Papacy aud its
very humble and zenlous servants know
where their friends are. They identify
Republicapism with Professionalism and
they are too shrewd to make any mis-
takes in such directions. Now there is
moral effect underlying and permeat-
ing all great political movements. Let
the Democracy succeed in electing Til
den, and the moral effect would be to
inspire aud encourage the adherents Of
Ronisii clergy fer renewed efforts to-
ward dividing the common school fund
and causing their places of education to
be supported out OF the public purse.

and give his voice to the support of the
Democratic cause. Every priest in Ne
