who had disgraced their holy office, de.
serted their pulpits and smirched the
cause of religion in the mire OF politics.
The original resolution embodying the
reply OF the government to Ottowa was

CLEVELAND. June 90 1.-The national
convention OF Repu blican clubs has had
an eventful day. The committee on
resolutions consisted Of fifteen silver
men and thirty-one anti-silve men,
The subcommittee Of eleven to draft
resolutions TO submit to the full COM
mittee had only two silver men, Dubois,
OF Idaho; and Allen, of Utah. After
this subcommittee had worked all last
night on IAN address to the people, I"
with the word resolved" omitted
therefrom, committee Of three on re-.
vision vas selected, and the silver men
Claim they were not reported at all on
the revision committee.
The feature of the address was that
It covered all questions except that of
silver, which was entirely ignored.
This was done to prevent minority re-
port on the silver question and a fight
on the floor of the convention. After
indulging in the most bitter speeches
for hours in the consideration OF 1.-The
address to the people," the matter was
finally settled by the adoption OF res
olution offered by Senator Patton, OF
Michigan, to the effect that the consti-
tuition of the league would not permit
1t TO attempt in any way to influence a
State or national convention. Thus the
trOu bleSOme issue was dOd0ed

RELIGION In POLITICS.
Letters Alleged TO Have Been Written
by Senator Skirm

by Senator Skirm.
Trenton, Nov A decided sensation
/ in political circles has resulted from tho
| publication of letters OF a character cal
| cuiated to stir up a religious prejudice
| The letters purported TO have been writ
ten by and to bear the signature of Sena-
4 tor William n. Skirm, and the recipient
was pleaded with to cast his vote for the
Reelection of Colonel Skdrm. No sooner
had Senator Skirnl seen the typewritten
letters than he denounced one and all
OF them as the rankcst kind OF forgeries.
The Republican County COMMITTEES,
through Acting Chairman Barker Gum
mere, Jr-, ulmedia teiy issued a large
poster, in which the committee offered
reward Of 81 900 for the arrest and con-
viction of the person or persons perps-
trating the forgeries-
The letters had been mailed to Catholics
members OF the Junior Order OF American
Mechanics, and other secret societies, as o
sample of the cunning OF those who had
the scheme in charge.
II need only be SAID that the letter that
was calculated to win him the support of the
believers in the Catholic faith was made
TO fall into the hands of the Junior Order
of United American Mechanics, and that In
tended to be effective with the American
Mechanics fell into Catholic hands.
In the letter to the Mechanics the Senator
is moved to say that he understood NJ r. Mul-
ford was opposing him for Senator because
II voted for what has been called the grab
bill. / know that did wrong In the vote
referred to, and no one will 60 further next
winter to undo the wrong than 1 win.
You know, too. that don't like a foreigner
or a Catholic any better than you do. 7
believe that the latter has very little re-
gard for our American Institutions. and
would destroy them il they had a chance,
so lay aside your differences this time. and
go in as usual for the whole ticket. want
you to see as many members of the o. U. A.
NJ. as possible, and assure them that I
surely will redeem myself next winter II I
represent this county in the New Jersey
Senate"
In another letter he is made to say: ST
am fighting bitter battle with enemies OF
your grand old church. The A. p. A. and
the o. L. A. NJ are opposing me for my
vote on the garb bin. They are cranks
vino can see 10 good in your grand old
church. VIII You not get out among your
Irish and German Catholic friends on cleo
tion day and help me?'
Each of the letters conclude with request
to regard the communication nasconfidential.
