W. Outflow opened the meeting with
the following remarks:
Ladies and gentlemen: Despite the cham
pfons of the Roman Catholic hierarchy we are
assembled here to-day in advocacy or one OF
the greatest principles that has ever agltated
the American people. II sophlStry could take
the place of argument and lies in vulgar IAN
guage that of truth then might say that the
nineteenth century has not attained that Stage
ofciyillzation which we claim for II.
The opening prayer was delivered by
Rev. DR.. A. NJ. Russell of Hamilton Square
Baptist Church. After the prayer Rev.
Mr.. Russell made few Introductory re-
marks, in the course Of which he said:
Think of the grave problems with which God
has honored the American people to settle!
He gave them the great problem OF civil and
religious liberty 10 settle, and they settled that
with King George Ill Then he gave them the
great problem OF human freedom, and America
came forward and settled that issue; and now
he has honored you Americans By command
ing you to go forward in the settlement OF a
question grander still than any OF those, and
that is that the Pope of Rome does not domi-
nate this world. Martin Luther, that great
man who cannot be mentioned without thanks
and gratitude in our hearts, lifted up the
standard OF liberty and carried it forward, and
made it easy for TO take il up where he laid
it down. America is schooling herself, is get
ting ready to perform this last great act OF re-
sponsibility so pregnant with importance, not
orly to America but to the whole world.
Americans, do YOUR duty and trust in God.
Chairman Outflow, with reference to
some past disturbance in the meetings,
said there was plenty of force present to
eject any one from the hall who should
dare hiss the American flag. He then an
nounced that DR.. ]. Q. A. Henry would de-

Major Ryan was then introduced, and
was greeted with prolonged applause. He
began by saying that there were other
questions OF much more Importance to the
people than those of free trade and pro-
lection CT the free coinage OF silver, and
those questions are whether the institu-
tions handed down by the American
patriots shall endure ''or whether they
shall be surrendered into the hands of a
foe that has always been the enemy of
human liberty In every part OF the world.
He did not propose 10 discuss the question
of religion at all, for it was no ones bust
ness what religion a man practiced, but he
would say 10 all of them: Never you lay
your ecclesiastical hand upon a single star
that beams out from those folds Of blue.
That star means religious liberty, and the
man or the organization that puts his
hand upon that star Is traitor to the best
government that was ever established
among men.
they don't read but one side of the ques-
ton, and because literature on the other
side OF the question is not allowed to enter
the homes Of the people. In the Young
Mems Christian Association in Ohio they
will not allow patriotic papers to be laid
upon their tables or placed upon their
files
A voice-That's so.
"Ef you investigate this matter mo-
Inent, proceeded the major, you will
call upon God TO destroy Romanism and
save the liberties of this people from ever
lasting destruction"
The speaker called attention to the ap-
pearance OF Monsignor Satolli at the
Worlds Congress OF Religions in Chicago
in 1893 leaning on the arm of Archbishop
John Ireland of St. Paul. The climax of
that occasion was reached, continued the
speaker, when Satolli, with what was
supposed to be the Bible in one hand and
the Constitution of the United States in
the other, said; Go forward then, with the
book of divine truth, the Bible, in one
hand, and the Constitution of your coun-
Try in the other He is a magnificent
looking character; possibly you have seen
him. Laughter. | have never looked at
a man out of whose eyes beamed more in
telligence. He is a man of wonderful
power and ability"
The speaker took up the encyclical of
ing, which, he said, appeared in it: "Every
Catholic should rigidly adhere to the teach
ings of the Roman Pontiff, especially in
matters of modern liberty. which, under
the sem blance of honesty of purpose, leads
to destruction"
1.-The man who can indorse that" con-
tinued the speaker, fought never to be
allowed to leave his own dooryard with
out guide" The speaker objected to an
other passage of the encyclical, as follows:
."All Catholics should exert their power TO
cause the con Institution of the State in
which they live to be modelled on the
principles of the true church."
II can see, added Major Ryan, what
SatoH meant when he said Go forward
with the Bible in one hand and with the
constitution in the other. Great God
What is the true church? Is she the
friend of modern liberty or is she opposed
to modern lberty?'
= The speaker charged also that In another
letter in February, 1890, it is laid down
that Romanists are bound not only to be-
lieve what the Pope teaches ex cathedra,
but the must also accept and obey whatso-
ever the Pope commands, The major
continued:
We will never have peace IN this glorious
Republic OF ours until we do like other nations
poor, down-trodden Italy.dfd ii. Spain did il.
France did it, Mexico did it, Hungary did it,
Bohemia did ii, Poland did 1t, and every coun-
try on earth that is worthy of the name of
country did it, except America. Germany did
1t IN 1877 as q remedy for domestic treason,
and to-day we would have peace in this land
were 1t not for the Jesuitism that abounds
This man Satoili trained by the present
Pope in a Jesuit college, and Jesuit in the
community is like boa constructor lying in
wait Tor the unwary- i tell you we will never
have peace in this glorious Republic until we
expel the Jesuits. Continued applause.l
There are three countries on the face of the
earth that VIII never be destroyed by Roman
ism. | have faith to believe that this Repub-
lie VIII endure until Americanism shall be en-
thronA In every heart. Ulster, that bright
star o~truth in the northern part of Ireland
will never surrender TO the Pope of Rome
prolonged applause]. and Manitoba will come
out from under the shadow OF the British
Union Jack before she will allow Popery 70 de-
stroy her school system.
The speaker Went on to say that when a
few years ago Terence V. PowderIv pre-
sided over labor convention the first
business transacted was the reading of a
letter from Cardinal Gibbons in which the
Cardinal informed the organization:
That so long as it was under the control of
those who are not opposed to the church it
should receive the sanction of the church and
its blessing. When Delegate Lewis wanted to
know by what authority any ecclesiastical
power should inject itself into a convention OF
men that lebored TO make an honest living he
was immediately in the midst of q howling
