betraying the peoples interests for any
consideration on earth. Honest to the
core, high minded and high principled,
loyal and true as steel. he could not be
guilty of the betrayal of any man, and
least Of all a community he had been
elected to serve.
In the coming election there should
be no hesitation on the part OF the peo-
pie Of this community between the two
candidates for the Senate.
Archbishop IRELAND AMAZINGLY
GARBLED.
The Intelliqencer, under New York
date line, reprints from some New York
Republican organ without conscience,
or else makes up istef an article which
begins as follows:
Archbishop Ireland gave slap at the
Democratic party in his speech before the
Medal Of Honor Legion at the Holland
House, Tuesday evening, when be charac-
terized the introduction of religious prelu-
dice into politics as "a boomerang, which
returns upon him who launches It,"
Reference is here made TO Archbishop
IRELAND's magnificent denunclation of
the A. P. A, and its known connection
with the Republican party, yet the m
telliqencer, which knows that Bishop
IRELAND's scathing denunciation was
leveed against its own party, for its In
famous alliance with this secret politi-
cal order OF religious bigots, actual
" has the unparalleled cheek and
bardihood to claim that the Bishops
reference was to Democracy! This out
Herods HERoD and out-lies ANANIAs.
Such bold and deliberate reversal OF
Archbishop IRELAND's whole meaning
intent and purpose because Of the fact
that he did not mention the Re-
publican party by name is
piece OF bare faced
fraud and deception that for sublime
effrontery exceeds anything we have
ever heard Of and beats history or fc-
tion. 1t entities the InteUigencer TO the
first prize for ingenuity in political
fraud. For we do not believe any New
York paper has thus dared to deliber-
ately turn Archbishop IRELAND's ad-
dress around, and the Inteiligencer is the
first paper we have seen with ingenuity
or sublime cheek enough to take that
scathing denunciation of the Republican
party for its secret but well known
alliance with the A. P. A. in New York
State where its convention refused even
to put a non-sectarian plank in It's plat
form, and because the speaker did not
mention the Republican party by name
to report his address as II be had meant
the Democratic party. Archbishop IRE
LAND said, and his reference must be
plain to all:
"Soldiers, the country intrusts to you
the defence OF true Americauism. Danish
from the social and political life OF the
country all strife of race and creed. Allow
but the one test-Americanism-lo TO
the public veal on the battlefield and, al
the polls For myself, l predict dismal
failure 10 those who raise the cry Of race
or religion in this land; l predict
the death OF the political party which
makes use Of the seCtarlau hatred
either TO prop up its own cause or 10
lower the cause of its opponents. Rell-
gious prejudice is "A boomerang, which
returns upon him who launches 1t. The
cry of religious prejudice unfortunately
has been raised, aud IN it there is often.
believe. more politics than religion; 1t
should be put down. American loyalty
and fitness for ofiCe-these must ever be,
and these alone, the conditions which de-
termine an Americans vote. In this mat
ter as in ali other questions OF American
citizenship, the veteran soldiers will be
the first in the pathway OF honor and
duty"
Plain as Archbishop IRELAND's
meaning is the Intclligencer has the
unparalleled audacity to head,
preface and sub-head his ad-
dress as If he had reference to
Democracy, whose very principles he
was so ably defending against the
Know Nothingism, or as it is called
these days, A. p. A.-ism, Of the Repub-
lican party.
This caps the climax Of the Republi-
can campaign of misrepresentation.
Gov. MACCORKLE and eX- Gov. A. Is.
FLEMING are making magnificent
canvass Of the Third district in behalf
Of Congressman JOHN d. ANDERSON.
Their campaign is able, systematic and
thorough, and everywhere they have
met and created the greatest enthusi-
asm among the Democrats Of the lower
end of the State.
WHOLESALE BALLOT FRAUDS.
