PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE.
sEcTARIANIsM IN POLITICS.


from Of Mr.. Kelly's two papers.1
The efforts of the Sun and HERALD to excite SYM
pathy for Tden and Robinson by exciting prejudice
against Mr. Kelly because he is a Catholic
temptble. The letters printed in the Sun have the
''ear marks OF the shop about them. No inteli-
gent reader will imagine that they written by
persons not connected with the Office of that paper
Their object is obvious And it is despicable. 1t is
true that Mr.. Kelly is Catholic. And no one can
be found to say he is not good Catholic. And he
illustrates his religion by his life. He is good
neighbor. good friend. good citizen. and good
Christian. And he never obtrudes his religious
opinions on other people. nor pushes his church
into politics. He asks tor his religion only what he
asks tor other religions and would give all other
every religious right and privilege he asks for
himself and his friends To try excite a preju-
dice against the movement he represents and leads
and get people to vote for Robinson because Mr.
Kelly Catholic, is simply despicable. But 1t is
what might be expected from paper which last
year insulted the Catholics and Cardinal McCIoskey
though owned and nominally edited by Catholic
and drawing largo part Of It's from Catholic
people. 1t is craftily suggested by these papers
that Mr. Kelly IL using the authority and influence
OF the Catholic Church to compel men to vote for
him. This is par with the other infamous
representations they have made. 1t is untrue He
has done anything of the sort. He has never
asked for support on the ground that he is Cath
Ollie. We defy these papers to show that he has
appealed for support on the ground that he Is
o Catholic. Somo Catholics. with zeal than
good sense. have paraded the fact that Mr. Kelly IL
Catholic more conspcuously than they should have
done, tho Methodists have advertised tho fact
that General Grant belonged to their sect and at
tended their church and sent Parson Newman
around the world at the nations expense. But Mr..
EelI ia not 70 for the ind of
people. The leading Hebrew paper in this city has
spoken of him in highest terms. Must every
who does not want Israelite at his table fly into
passion and vote for Robinson that account?
John Bigelow wrote a book Immediately after the
Franco-Prussian full of hatred and insolence
against the Catholic Church and people, misrepre-
senting American Catholics aud stepped full Of
sectaran virus. The Catholics voted for him be-
cause he u friend OF Tilden. who then posed
adcmocrat and reformer and made magnificent pro-
fcssons of honesty. But they urged to
pudiate John Kelly and vote tor Robinson whose
chief spite against Mr.. Kelly grew out OF his refusal
to support Bgolow for reelection in 1877 because
he wanted man in Office who would be Secretary
Of State instead Of being secretary to Samuel j. Til
den and his deputy.
