A HINT TO OUR REPUBLICAN
FRIENDS.


From oil accounts the managers and
leaders Of the Republican party are
yielding obedience to some very III I'D.
vissd counsslors. 30 imprudent Is the
sourss which events indicate Is TO be
adopted, that II leads one to the sus-
picion that those who originate 1t must
be actuatsd with no kind feeling toward
The party which they are attempting to
direct. Il 10 quite apparent. that the
can indulge in no reason
able hope Of carrying any Southern
State but South Carolina. From Mason
and Dixon's line 10 rhe Rio Grsnde,
with the sole exception Of South Caro-
lima, mot . single vote will be cast In the
electoral college for the Republican can
didats. Turning TO the north, from Ca
nads 10 New York. ~ Republicans will
surely carry every Slass with the excep-
ton Of Connecticut. leaving New Hamp.
shire ~ doubtful. but with the chances
preponderating In favor Of the Republic
cans. Passing New York and New Jer-
ssy for the moment it may be conceded
that Pennsylvania, Michigan. Wisconsin.
Illinois, Iowa. Kansas and Nebraska will
fall into the Republican line. West vir-
ginia will 60 Democratic. Colorado, if
admitted, and the Pacific States. must be
classsd ~ doubtful. Returning TO New
York and New Jersey. In those States
al will depend upon the nominations.
On the Republican side Conkling Is the
only man who can hope to turn those
States in favor OF the Republican nomi-
nee. II any other known can
didate should DO selected at tho
Cincinnati Convention. then be

New York or New Jersey. There Is one
State yet to consider. that 10 Indiana,
and while II may be classed as doubtful.
still the probabilities are greatly in favor
Of it, inclining to the Democracy. Thus
Il IL easy to see that the struggle will be
. close and desperate one. A single mis-.
take on one side or the other will cause
victory TO attach herself 10 ths banners
Of Ito opponent. This being confessedly
the condition OF affairs is Il not very
singular that the Republican leaders
should apparently be seeking to lose rather
than to make friends. Already We hear Of
. holy war being proclaimed and an I'M
sparing onslaught being made upon
those who profess Catholicism. We also
hear Of the formation Of secret societies
organized upon TIM model of the extinct
Knownothing" lodges for the purpose
Of making war sgainst naturalizsd citi.
Gems. These movements are all being
carried on within the Republican ranks,
and Il ID fair to suppose will be adopted
by that party as portion OF its often
sive and defensive operations during the
coming campaign. Of course the Re
publican leaders know their business
best, and for the matter Of that it 10 none

but ~ amicus curie Of both parties
70 would inquire OF our Repub'
lican friends whether they think
they can afford to adopt that system Of
tactics. In plain terms, does the Re
publican party expect to elect its nomi
nee in spite Of every Catholic and natur
allied citizen in the country? II 1t doe
il can go right along and see whore i
will land. Can IL win and at the SAM
time lose New York, New Jersey, Con
necticut. Indiana, Nevada. California
Oregon and all tho Southern States ex
ccpt South Carolina2 It does not lie il
the pins. But II the Republicans driv,
al the naturalized citizens and all th,
Catholics from their ranks they vii
surely suffer other losses. Illinois, Ohio
Pennsylvania, and even Nebraska, will fal
into the Democratic line. Take for in
stance our own State. It is known tina
secret societies have been formed within
Its limits, guided by no friendly feel
ing toward either Catholic or naturalize,
citizens. II the Republican party &C
knowledge these evil agencies as it
allies, is there Catholic or naturalize
citizen in Nevada that will vote for it
nominees2 We think not. It lis Chris
tiau like to turn the other side Of the fac

are not apt to adopt that proceeding
No; il our Republican friends will pc,
init us to offer them suggestion W
would say: Cease your insane wariar
upon the rights Of conscience, and thos
Who in good faith have become you
adopted fellow citizens and CARRY on th
struggle upon the legitimate basis Q
political differences. II that is not done
the next President OF the United State
will be nominated at the st. Louis Cor
