NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. AP A. BLUFF

The Iptsltgncer works itself up 10 a
very high pitch Of indignation over the
charge made by the REGISTER, that
there exists secret alliance between
the local Republican managers and the
local A. P. A.
The IntelItgenccr denies it, OF course.
We never thought for a moment that
conscieuceless organ would do anything
else.
But II the IntcIligencer actually be-
leVes it's own denial aud is really hon
est in declaring that there is no secret
alliance between the A. P A. and the
local Republican managers, then it
knows less Of the inside doings OF its
own party workers than most Demo
Gratis do, which we positively refuse to
believe. But we will not waste space
in bandying words with our vitupera-
tive neighbor, which contents itself
with calling the REGISTER q liar and
shouting you can't prove itm 1t
calls the charge Democratic
"roorbach" aud refers 70 its
promIlg alton "at this late day The
Iatclliqcl,ccr knows the charge was
made by the REGISTER long before
the opening OF the present campaign,
and that such a thing as proving it was
never thought necessary, since there
was no attempt at conceal ment In
fact, IL is only comparatively lately
that the local Republican managers
have taken to denying it, for before
they were suddenly aud rudely awak-
snsd they entertained the fond dream
that the capture OF this un-Americsn
but supposed powerful secret political
organization was q splendid political
move. In most other States the Repub-
lican managers are still dreaming and
the alliance with the A. p. A. is not
concealed; ia fact, in some Western
States the Republican party has practi-
eally been swallowed up by the A. P. A,
and In AZ least one the Republicans have
Endorsed the A. P. A. ticket 10 New
York the Republican convention that
dominated LEVI P. MORTON refused to
pass a resolution condemning the A P.
A., and MORTON has since refused to
place himself specifically on record as
opposed 20 this un-Ameriesn political
association Of religious bigots. The
resolution which General TRACY tried
tried TO have inserted in the New York
Republican platform was as follows:
.'RssoIrsd, The Republicans Of New York
stand firmly on the principles Of our ma
tiOnal Constitution that all citizens OF the
United States maintaining loyal allegiance
TO their government shall enjoy perfect DO
ltical equality, and they Will consent 70 nc
Determinations Of rights based on diner
ences Of religious faith
This patriotic declaration was UOtcd
do,gn by the Republican PlG50r M Com
miHee.
The Intclligcncer's laborsd attempt tC
dispose Of the alliance between the Re-
publlcsns and the A. P. A., by quoting
she Irish World as zone Of the leading
Catholic newspapers Of the country" is
the sorriest bluff Of al. The Irish
World was VIGOROUSLY bought for sash
by the Republican managers in she can
paiEn OF 1884, and for it attempt to betraI
Its constituents and for it's dishonesty
and vsnal character has been denounced
IN nearly every Catholic pulpit. Tbs
Irish World is q Republican organ o,
the lowest type, OIhing more. Tue
