Archbishop Ireland IL Republican and
Is not afraid 20 confess thai be IL kepuo-
icsn, and because re Is Republican, be-
cause he and other eminent ciergyrnen OF
the Catholic church, like Father Mullans,
Father Ducey and Father Malone. spoke
publicly in sshorrence Of the uprising Of
ssctariar issues Ia politics. declaring that
the issue was q false one and that tbs
charges male by David b. Hill against
the Republican party we're utterly false.
these patriotic elergymen have been
scaled down By Archbishop Corrigan, Of
New York city, and Bishop McQuaid, of
Rochester.
Father Ducey has been forbidden by
Archbishop Corrigan to further attend the
sittings OF the Lexow investigation COM
mittee. and now Archbishop Ireland has
been insultingly denounced by Bishop
McQuaid. who Is bitter partisan of the
rsscGionary. bourbon, anti-satolH faction
OF the Roman Catholic church in America,
Of which Archbishop Corrigan II the
leader. Tbs attack of Bishop McQuaid
will not hurt Archbishop Ireland, for he Is
supported in has liberal, patriotic, progress
siye Catholic views By Cardinal Gibbons;
by Bishops Spaulding and Keane and By
the young Catholic party in America.
Let us see what Archbishop Ireland did

Archbishop ireland was recently in New
York city and he and Bishop McGoldrick.
Of Duluth. sat on the platform at Carnegie
hall when ex-Prssident Harrison delivered
his great speech Of October 3. AS q Re-
publican he had perfect right to accept a
tribute OF respect from bis fellow Repub-
Leans Tom Corwin, very conservative
Republican. II he was Republican at all,
sat on the platform in November, 1853,
when the great sbolitionist orator, Wen
dell Phillips, delivered his apotheosis Of
John Brown. then standing beneath the
shadow Of the Virginia gallows.
Archbishop Ireland, In q New York
Tribune interview, severely censured Rev.
Alfred Young. the Paulist for charging
thy with the A. p. A, declaring that a
great party could not take notice "of
every fieeting wind that passes over the
field." Then he said 1.-THE introduction
of the religious question into the political
agitation Of the country 10 disastrous to
the Catholic church, and were il possible
for the Catholics to defeat the Republican
party by such . hue aud cry as Hill had
raised and Rev. Mr.. Young had echoed, it
would DO fatal Are they" asked John
Ireland, going to turn the whole Repub-
lican party into A z. A.-ists, as they will
do if they denounee 1t as composed Of anti
Catholic bigots2" He went on to say:
81 have no mission TO give Catholics DO
liticai counsel. | can only bid them 10
vote with intelligence. sincerity, honesty
and Misunderstanding the Democratic
ticket If they deem ID the better one for
the country, or the Republican ticket if
this seems the better. But l can counsel
them, as do, to allow no cry of religious
bigotry 10 sway them. If there are men
who drag religion into politics, let Ii not
be the Catholics, who. even under penalty
OF some sacrifice, must give to the country
the highest example of exalted citizen
ship, aid Of politics utterly free from re-
ligious bias.
Bishop Ireland denied that either OF the
great political parties was responsible for
the A T. A.. and he further saidi
Certain IL is that some of the most
fer0cious outbreaks of know-Nothing bar
barism occurred in Democratic cities and
states.
"Know-Nothmg tickets polled a much
larger percentage Of state votes In Demo
cratic Virginia and Maryland than In Re-
While New Hampshire was a Democratic
state. the constitution refused 10 Catholics
the right 20 hold Office. so soon as ii be-
came Republican state the constitution
in this regard vas amended"
These views of Bishop Ireland were in
dorssd on the sunday before the Novem-
Der election by Father Malone. of Brook
lyn. aud Father Duesy, Of New York city.
Father Malone saidi
"we cannot live here as foreigners; we
must be Americans. Like the brave DIR.

ticiaus. no matter what their religion be
or whas their nationality. IL they violate
the sacred principles Of honor and de-
esney in public trusts. Let cur ecclesias-
ties. even at this late day, raise their
voices against the horrors Of this admins

would have but little weight in this cam
