THE NEW YORK TABLET,

AS we predicted last week, there
were sent to large pumber of Irish
Catholics through the state, the cilcu-
lar copied from the New York Tablet.
These circulars were sent out by the
Republican State Committee. Although
the election is over, it is not too late to
expose the means to which the Stal
warts resorted in their desperation. In
order to show what kind of sheet the
Tablet is we publish the following edi.
torial from the Ereensa,s's Journal,
one of the oldest, ablest and most popu-
lar Catholic journals in this country:
The issue in Pennsylvania is very
clear one, 1t is: Can Cameron, with
the millionaires leagued with him, BUY
UP the vote of Pennsylvania! We
wish we could feel more secure of the
issue than we dol We own some fear
that there may be voters, sold and de-
livered, against their true interests, by
accursed secret societies. er H-.s
We are told that, notwithstanding
the exposure of the shallow plot, there
is still existing an intention, in some of
the mining regions, of flinging broad,
cast among the least instructed, copies
of the sheet called the New York Tab
leu, filled with calumnies, or the more
sneaking method of insinuations, re-
garding Mr.. Robert H. Pattisoa, the
Democratic candidate for Governor of
Pennsylvania, ., .rr. +.

of the calumny. Men of Irish name.
