What Rev. Father Clark Has

Catholic Columbian, l0hio.)
Il is rather an encouraging sign
ofthe times to see how promptly
the Democratic papers defend the
Catholic Church from the ISLANDERS
Of Mr.. Burchard, and how meskly
and readily the Republican organs
apologized for the insult, toolats to
save them a just rebuke.
We would like 10 hear from all
the Irish supporters Of Mr., Blaine.
They did not present u very formi.
dable appearance at the polls in
the East or West. No doubt the
Republican managers begin to DIP

World. a new fund is now in

The lrishmat really brought
both parties to their knees in the
attitude Of supplioants. We could
not imagine such apologies as those
Of MeSsrs. Blaine and Butchard a
few years ago. Let US keep these
uttsrances on record, and at the
same time keep the politicians to
q sense of their justice. We can
do it.
