ENRON PUBLICAN-Irishmen of st. |
Louis how do you like the position assign
ed YOU in American politics? Sandwich
cd between English rum" and slaves
holders rebellion" How do you like
the badge the republican party has hung
around your neck, in which it drives you
up and down the country manacled cons
yicts, handcuffed to rum on the one
hand and rebellion on the other3 Cath
olic Irishmen, how do you like your re-
linion represented in the person OF
slave>auctioneer drunk with rum. The
republican party speaking through the
months of its founders, declares the Roman
catholic church the ally of drunkenness
and slavery Look at the companion
picturcs the fathers of the republican party
have drawn-a Catholic altar, with
slave block on one side and barrel OF
rum on the other. And Blaine saw the
picture and 1t drew from him tears OF de-
light. Go up to the polls and cast your
vote for Blaine, but remember every eye
that sees YOU will read in letters branded
across your foreheads by the man you
| vote for: Rum, Romanism and Rebell>
| ion.
| The republican party boasts that for
| TWENTY-FIVE years ii has been the enemy OF
rum and rebellion; now it places itself on
record as the enemy of ''Romanism. The
election of Blaine will be hailed from the
granite hills of New England to the gold
en- sands of the Pacific as victory over
| Rum, Romanism and Rebellion Every
republican preacher in the land will take
for his test next Sunday the verdict of the
polls and thank God that the coun try ha
been saved from that trinity ofevil' Rum
Romanism and Rebellion And their re
ioicing viii be justified by the facts.

YOU lick the irons that these bigots hav
made hot to burn the eyes OF your talt
Outl
Irshmen of St Louis: Ask yourselve
: the question. Are these the men who ar
= = to help free Ireland? Think you the
= will, after stamping out "Romanism
L this country, rally to support of yor
country and creed in other lands? Whe
!, "Romanism" is stamped out on the'
Il shores there will be few left here to spea
for Ireland.
:, The republican party boasts of mi
sion from on high. They glory in pr
: claiming to the world that they ha'
II crushed out slavery. They are organic
in every state in the Union to push on Il
d warfare against liquor. But when this t.
shall have been accomplished, think "
they will deem their mission" fulflle'
h They now tell you no, They will nev
=. think the work they were called into
% ing to accomplish done until every Cat
II olic altar in the land is overthrow
. When the last rebel is dead and the Ia
Z barrel of rum is rolled into the sea, tn
Il the final rally will sound from Maine
Georgia and from ocean to ocean. ''DoN
with Romanism" VIII you be accoi
at plices in your own downfall.
