politicians and hack-woods Preachers.
Their support, and their friendship are
fatal to any cause they eapouse in this
free land. We Americans are OPEN
hearted. fair-nainded and honest in our
dealings with OUT fellow men, and we
spurn With the Indignation OF honest
men the. vile insinuations and ground

against any class ct cur fellow citizens. m
Honest American citizens make no
class or creed distinctions. Our. Catho-
lie people are less clanlsh, il anything,
than almost any other class Of people.
They have never been known to COM
plain because their Protestant fellow Cit
izens held Offices, which they might
like to hold, and try to have them re-
moved from Office on account OF their re-
ligion. The objections even against Mr..
Morgan when he held the Office Of Indi-
an commissioner, were not on account
of his religion, but because of his unrea-
soning bigotry and insane hatred OF
Catholics and the Catholic church, and
because he presumed to- abuse the op-
portupities of his position under the
general government of gratifying his
hatred. Our Catholic people are not SO
unreasonable as to demand the disfran-
chiaendent Of all the Baptlsts in the
country and condemn them as nnft to
share the .emoluments of public life, be.
cause one OF their number proved I'm.
worthy of public confidence. No A:fis 2I''
can citizen has any claim to Official posi-
ton on account of his religion, and no
man can be debarred from Office on &C.
count OF his creed. When the. religious
bigots raise cry of prescription against
. fellow citizen because of the altar at
which he may kneel, it becomes the duty
| Of good citizenship to rally to his sup
port, as the Jewish voters did IN the city
OF New York when men OF Gen. Nor
gan s calibre raised the cry Of religious
|bigotry against William +. Grace.
They realized the fact that If one citi-
lzen's religion be assaulted today another
may be in the near future. "No class or
creed distinctions is the motto for all
Americans. The Catholic church has.
as much right on American soil as any
other religious denomination; it claims
Ino favors and asks no privileges, but it
will not complacently endure proscrlp-

WEleHTY WORDS FOR WAITE.
Called Long.Haired Anarchist and Told
to Go Bury Himself.


Chicago, November H. A special to
the Tribune from Denver says: "Gov-
ernor Waite received dressing down
in his own executive cham bers last night
from the conservative men of his party,
Nearly all the candidates on the Popu-
list state ticket were present, and each
one in turn assailed the governor. Each
man declared himself true believer in
party principles, and said henceforth
he wanted to hear no more from a mar
for whom they were sacrificed. LATE
Pence, the congressman from the first
district, was the principal speaker. He
denounced the governor and his folio
ing in unmeasured terms, tellings him
to get himself into the wilderness as
soon as possible after January 1st and
here bury himself from the sight of
men.
We want no more long haired wild
eyed anarchists and socialists in the
party" he exclaimed with warmth.
The quicker you and your office-grab.
bing friends take yourselves away. the
better you will be liked"
The conservatives were so forcible that
Waite was speechless. Following the
conference, it was decided to abandon
all Sunday political meetings, which
caused so much scandal and incurred
the enmity ef churchmen, and organize
on the basis of good government.
