Professor Sims. at the opening of his

denied that he had charged the Catholics
with dsloyalty so far as q single member
OF the church was concerned. He also ad-
mitted that the alleged circular printed in
the A. p. A. papers might have been bogus
but he thought it not unlikely that some of
the Jesuits had put it out among the Cath
olics as a feeler. Professor Sims said that

"We love the Roman Catholics as broth

approve the doctrines which Destroy true
citizenship. A man can't be a true subject
of q nation and a subject of one man who
rules absolutely" He then quoted from the
American Catholic News: THE Pope is
prince whose word is law TO more people
than any nation in the world He then
spoke OF the power over the individual
Catholic which the Pope exercises as detri-
matters public and political.
The Pope, he said presses a button
and the cardinals all stand up ready to re-
ceive their orders. The cardinals, in turn,
press a button and the archbishops stand up
and so on down through the bishops and
priests to the individual Catholic. But the
Individual has no button to press. He must
do as the priest tells him, without asking
any questions" He did not think the A.

but, on the other hand, he said, the Pope

from letter of Pope Leo XIII, published
in the Dublin Review on Nov. ], 1885: The

He then read extract from lecture
which, he alleged, was delivered by Bishop
MCGEE, in Buffalo, in 1852. in which the
Bishop advised the Catholics to remain
passive, but to quietly mass the Irish Cath
olics in the cities, and at the proper time,
when their vote was strong enough, to
take charge OF all the State and municipal
affairs in the interest of the Pope. After

Mr.. Donnelly said he would begin where
his opponent left off by denouncing the
extract from the lecture forgery. He said
