Now, the LsteHigeneer in It's guilty haste
to defend itself against an imaginary foe
unconsciously lets out the real secret OF
the Republican attempt to shelye Mr..
W1NGERrER. Busters that organ; 1--WE
have rot ignored Mr. WINGERrER because
he IS a Cti0bc'n
Goodness alive, Who has said anything
about Mr. WINGERrER's religion Has
anyone hintsd even remotely that Mr..
WINeERrER's religion was the Lateligen-
GERS objection to him2 The card quoted
above and the editorial comment are all
that has been said upon the subject, and,
indeed. an altogether different motive was
attributed 10 the Intelligence But in thus
showing what is in It's mind the In'ehgsR'
ssr lets ont it, real motive ana that OF ITS
party in Mr.. WNeERTER's case. It's
guilty conscience spoke before i. was
aware ofit and betrayed it. 'The wicked
lee whel no man pursue.h.' Following
is the In,eUgence's dead give away re-
DIV 20 the writer of the card above quoted;
somebody through the REGisrss thinks 10
necessary 90 try 90 array against the Republican
party ana Che nfsr1aicr the Catholics of This
community. The pretext is that the candidacy
ofNfr. q. A. Wueerter. an intelligent and capa-
bleyoung man Of ihis city, for appointment. Coz d
consulshIp has not been mentioned in the il,e.i
grcr so mention of .he fact was made be-
cause Che Iis gace understood that Mr.. Win
eerter desired t0 conduct The matter quietly. Al,
the Information was given In shat was regarded
as confidential interview che editor OF the
Hf enr.r did not Zee. so hard driven for ancws
item as to get 90 through a breach of faith.
Orcour.e the REsl,rEE takes great pleasure in
giving 81 hearty second to Che trouble-hrecting
effort of lts correspondent Equally of course
Che RFsisrgg is able 90 realize the urgent need
of doing something or invonung something 20
Keen wen within the Democratic ranks every

"The REGISTER and its correspondent
may have been on false scent, hat We are
indebted TO the InielbgeHcsr ard iisirrepres-
sible guilty conscience for putting MS on
the right one. The reason for the attempts
that have been made to crowd Mr WIN
eERrER out Of the race by studiously ig-
morning his claims, which are of the best,
Ia nov made perfectly clear. In addition
to the fact thst Mr.. WrSGERrER is not a
spoils politician who must be paid for his
party service to keep him in line, he is q
Catholic. And no matter how much the
LteViqncer may protest that its party Is
not a class party and q party Of religious
intolerance, the history Of the Republican
party bellies it, That party at its incep-
ton was fundamentally a Knownothiug
organization. and 10 has never got rid Of
its antagonism to foreign born
citizens. which is in line with its
intolerance Of the Catholic Church In
an the last State election in Republican
Rhode island the gceat mass Of foreign
born citizens were excluded from the priv
ilege of voting. just prior to the last
election the property qualification law was
slightly modified Even now the Demo
cratic party, with which all new corners
who desire freedom and religious liberty
naturally ally themselves, although in the
plurality 10 that State, i, deprived OF the
fruits Of victory by the old bigoiei ma
iority law.

"a IL il well known that Mr. EGAN's ap-
pointment was simply a sop thrown to the
Irish-Amsrican vote, and that had 10 not
been for the fact Of his prominent connsc
ton with the American Branch of the
Irish Land League and his indaencs
among Irisb-American voters. his appoint
ment would never have bsen
dreamed Of 10 was d purely
selfish political move An instance
of the an.agonism Of the Republican party
TO the Catholic Church was the action OF
the thorough Republican, GARrELD.
when in Congress on the amendment 90
the Sundry Civil Appropriation Bill of the
first session Of the Forty Third Congress.
giving the sum OF So, 600 to q Catholic In
sdtuton in Washington, called "Tbe Lit
tie Sisters of the Poor. Mr. GAEFELD
strongly opposed the appropriation, al.
though not finding anything to object to
in the granting of similar appropriation
TO the Women's Christian Association, Of
Washington. a Protestant organization OF
which no Catholic could be member.
Likewise, Mr.. GARFELD, following out
the Republican principal Of intolerance.
