"Church and Politics."

To the Editors Of the NeiUG
In answer to the statement made by an al
legged newspaper last night, under the head
ing Of "Church and Politic," we enclose you
the following facts: Sunday morning A.
Deslauries, president OF the French Republi-
can Club. saw the Rev. Father Norbert, and
begged him To announce To the French Cana
dians during the service that there would be-
reunion in the hall over the Olneyville post
important business To be transacted in the in
terest of the French Canadians of this
city. At the time appointed for the OPEN
ing of the meeting the hall was
crowded. Among the French Canadians
present were some always disposed To mix
things and show themselves in an unfavorable
light, desirous T. interfere with the business
which was to be transacted. A. poirier,
with very few of his followers, commenced to
speak about the Columbus celebration, etc.
trying to give another issue to the meeting
than the one for which IL was called. A. Des-
lauriers, president OF the club. didn't make
any objection, but as Mr.. Poirier was going
too far he was called 10 order by the president
Of the assembly. Mr.. Richard. When every
thing was over and Mr.. Deslauriers had given
them sufficient time to debate, he opened the
meeting of the French Republican Club,
to be regretted that such persons as those
who TO gain notoriety and pose as leaders
when they hardly can find followers, always
want to be at the front, and, by their action,
delay the advancement Of their countrymen
Men like A, Poirier, who is a Democratic
politician, render good service to the Repub-
lican party by their lack of popularity and
will bring 10 our ranks all the French Cana
dians of this city. A. DEsLAURIEs.
