JUDGE cANTY's ENEMIES.
There is no candidate upon the Demo-
cratic state ticket against whom SO Bit
ter a fight is being made than Judge
Thomas Canty, the nominee Of the Dem
ocratic and Peoples parties for seat on
the supreme bench. All Che corporations
are working against him most virulently
and are spreading all sorts Of false re-
ports to defeat him, The henchmen OF
Thomas Lowry in particular are out in
full force maligning and slandering the
choice of the people for judicial honors.
They reach mon Of all parties, nationali-
ties and creeds to prejudice them by the
foulest lies they can invent about Judge
tCanty. Some Of them approach the
Irish American voters and falsely accuse
him of being an Orangeman and anti
Catholic, while another set Of liars inter
view the Scandinavians and anti Catho-
lies and denounce him as an Irish Ma
tionalist and Roman Catholic. The
fact Of the matter is that Mr.. Canty has
always been sympathizer with Ireland
in it's struggles for freedom, and was one
Of the speakers twelve years ago who
raised his voice in protest against the
imprisonment of Parnell. He was q
-I
delegate to the Irish National League
Convention at Chicago in 1886 with the
editor of The Irish STANDARD and took
the part of Michael Davittin the Chicago
Tribune against John f. Finerty. He is
neither Catholic nor an anti Catholic
and is not connected with any church
organization. He is a broad, liberal man
and far superior to his assailants as q
christian gentleman. The Republican
managers, led by Tom Lowry, have in
fluenced the Scandinavian Lutheran
ministers to issue manifesto to the
voters of their nationality in Minnesota
fayoring the election of Judges Wander
burg and Dickinson. Suppose the Cath
Ollie priests issued an address for Judge
Canty and Daniel Buck, what a howl there
would be from Professionals and Catholics
alike! We are firmly convinced that the
Scandinavian voters of this state will re-
sent the impertinence of their political
pastors by voting as they please and ex-
ercising the right Of suffrage according
to their best Judgment for the public
good. The Scandinavian are in q re-
public where church and state are not
in "cahoots' as in the old countries, and
they will not listen to any dictation from
i their ministers when discharging their
duties as citizens Let them rebuke the
insolence Of these medd lesome clergymen
so emphatioally that they will never
again dare to direct them how to vote.
Every independent voter who believes
that the Judiciary should be kept pure
and unsulled and free from the control
Of the corporations will vote for Mitchell,
CAVITY and Buck on next Tuesday. They
are able men Of judicial temperament
who will dispense justice impartially to
corporations and to individuals. Thous-
ands of Republicans will vote for the
nominees Of the people, and the more
Tom Lowry and his mercenary nyrmi-
done assail their characters the larger
will be their rnajorities at the ballot box.
Let ever voter in this city teach ''Boss''
Lowry to keep out Of politics in future
by rolling up an unprecedented majority
for Judge Canty.
