To the Editor of The Irish Standard.
A. p. Aism, commonly accepted, relates
to religious bodies only; but in it's sim
pie expression it embraces all social COM
munities 50 that there is no element
within the social realm left free from the
hateful influence of this satanical pari-
site. While it creates much disturbance
III religious, civil and political affairs, it
wreaks it's most effectnal destruction
within the social circles of every COM
munity where it secures foothold. In

totally destroyed by it's fanatical infu-

neglected intellectual education. 1t pro-

universal ideas. When one contemplates
the magnitude OF intellectual develop

rapid strides through the vast fields Of
human knowledge during the past con-

] LOCAL ELECTIONS.

Before many days all the caucuses will
be held and the conventions will then
pave the way for the campaign. Local
elections never fail to arouse sufficient
amount Of enthusiasm. It is amusing
to see how little regard is paid to party
lines in caucuses and how strictly they
are drawn when election day comes.
Men enter caucuses and vote for those
whom they have no intention Of sup
porting at the polls. Some do this that
they may do cheap accommodation to 9
friend others that they may nominate .
man whom they wish to see defeated.
The more we zee Of this kind Of work
the more We are convinced that local
elections should be held at time when
no political campaign 10 il progress.

ecutive is elected on ticket on which
there are county, state, congressional and

usually decided by matters that have
nothing to do with city affairs. The

think not. The experience of other

SATURDAY, AUGUST IS, 1894.
FUSION OR NO FUSION.

The Republicans are doing great deal
of guessing just now as to what the
Democrats will do in regard to the state
ticket. The Democrats are in q quandary
as to just what ought to be done. The
old time leaders seem to favor the nom.
nation of an independent ticket giving
as reason that they cannot subscribe
to the wild theories and political heresies
] OF the Populist platform. Again the
younger element in the party favors an
Endorsement OF Owen, giving as their
reason that it is the only hope of defeat
ing Nelson. We are and have been in
favor of indorsing Owen, for we have
little hope of an independent Democratic
ticket winning this year. While there
are some things in the Populist plat
form thst We cannot subscribe to, never
theless much of their doctrine has been
taken bodily from Democratic platforms.
In politics the Republican party has al
ways been our arch enemy and in COM
mon with the greater number of Demo
Gratis we believe the only sure means Of
defeating it is to indorse Owen or at least
not to make nomination. 1t is true
the word fusion carries with it an objsc-
tionable meaning when parties alter their
platforms or divide out places on ticket
90 that both may agree to it. But q
simple Endorsement Of candidate after
sne il nominated without any conference
of party leaders before that nomination
was made, is no dishonor to the party
making the Endorsement Parties like
voters have perfect right to support
whom they please. It is no surrender
OF party principles or organization for
the Democrats to support Owen. 1t is
simply surrendering pre- jsct that is al
most certain to fail of accomplishment
in favor of one that is as certain to sue
coed. The present unfortunate condition
of business has given strength and vigor
to the Peoples party. There are thous-
ands of dissatisfied voters in both of the
old parties anxious to express dissatis.
faction by voting for something new
There are also thousands Of voters in
this state who are not Peoples party
men but supporters of 8. M. Owen. Mr..
Owen through his admirable paper has
gained an extended and distinctive pop
ularity with the farmers and laborers
of the state and we venture to predict
that whether he is Endorsed by the Demo.
Gratis or not he will give the Republicans
more than they care to do. There is
anything but harmonyin the Republican
ranks. We confidentially look for the
defeat Of the Repu blican ticket and the
cessation of pine land and mineral land
scandals. There is an activity and

liean forces that points to success,

20 cents per gallon on spirits will add

longer. Rum has been taxed much

who ask Why members Of the A. p. a. are

organic alton in silence, k rowing full we'll
that the approval Of its principles would
mean defeat, and yet not caring to con-
denim it. With the Democratic party it
is different. The A. P. A has been con-
demned by it in the fullest terms. The
feeling Of the Democratic party, and
with it, W. bell We, the great mass OF the
American people, was eloquently express
ed by Gov. Mathews, of Indiana, at the
recent Democratic convention in that
state. The sentiment is 80 sptly ex-
pressed that We quote his words:
ut was decreed by God and designed
by our fathers that America should be
the home Of civil and religious liberty.
This is the great underlying principle in
the liberties OF q people aud Of free rep
resentative government. It has not been
the least of the missions of the D.mo-
cratic party to zealously guard this sa-
cred privilege in the past and it shall
continue in the future to raise it's voice
against the unholy and un American
prejudice that would stir up feeling of
hatred, bitterness and luminosity toward
one religious sect, q feeling that is wholly
at war with fraternal charity, Christian
sentiment and Observation-Disclosures. Such q
sentiment can never find resting place in
the bosom Of Democracy, or ia the hearts
of true American citizens. Before
this can be We must first blot out from
the pages Of our history the glories re-
fected upon our country by many of it's
Catholic citizens in the founding of the

on the fields of battle. We will have to
forget that in Catholic Maryland re-
Ggious tolerance was first pro claimed on
the shores of the western continent;
strike the name of Catholics from the
list of siguers of the declaration of lnde-
pendence, and lose the memory of the
deeds of Lafayette, of 5teubea, DE Kalb
and others. We will have to obliterate
from the pages of history and song the
glory of Sheridan's ride. Pass into oh

last command of the dying Mulligan,

these names and these memories, and
the Democratic party shall continue and
be the sanctuary where brotherly char
ity shall continue to dwell, with no re-
strictions as to religious belief and no

and love of country. The Democratic
party was the uncompromising foe of

vengeance on all similar organizations"
