An Incendiary Circular Attacking Roman
Catholics Traced to Democratic sources.
Scurrilous circulars appealing to the re-
ligious prejudices Of voters on account Of
some of the candidates being Roman
Catholics was very largely distributed In
Woonsocket yesterday afternoon, being
found In the doorways and entries, and
scattered through the main streets. IL
has been found that they were undoubt-
eddy printed yesterday In the Office OF the
Democratic French paper in Providence,
lie Courferd u Rhode Island.
This circular first appeared as an adver,
tisement in the EUenfng Record Of Provi-
dence.
The plan to print and distribute this
circular was overheard last Friday and
made public through the columns OF the
NEWS and some OF the out-of-town papers.
The scheme was concocted by two Demo-
Gratis, and 1t WAS proposed by them to at
tack Catholicism, and thus induce the
laboring men, who were of that faith and
who had made up their minds 10 vote for
the protection OF their homes, to go back
to the Democratic fold.
The dastardly attack upon the Catholic
Church by these men who would but as
sault their own faith, was discussed in
cold blood, and 1t was arranged that the
day afternoon and all day Tuesday. the
idea being to spring the trap so late that
the Republicans could not Offset any Of
the bad effects.
The circulars came out JUST a. was
planned, and they rave been placed where
the Democrats hope that the most good
can be accomplished.
The ex-organ Of the party swallowed
the bait, with hook, line and sinker, just
as it does all catty and fishy yarns, and
let loose one Of It's characteristic bowls
this afternoon.
The sensible Democrats deplore the
weakness of the schemers. ~repudiate the
circular and say that 1t will have no
effect upon the voters Of their party.
