The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-10-17
ARCHBISHOP ENDORSED.


While Archbishop Ireland has his doubts
about the propriety of a political sermon,
he reserves the right to be interviewed as a
citizen, and in that capacity he has made
one OF the ciearest and ablest arguments of
the sound money campaign.-Washington
Evening Star.
Archbishop Ireland's address for Mckinley
has stirred up big muss among the A.
T. A.'s.-Lake Crystal Union.
Archbishop Ireland brands the silver move
ment as one Of observation-disclosures Tribune
Archbishop Ireland's letter cannot fail to
have good influence for the Republican
ticket. There's nothing new in the letter,
but the issues are dilated upon with great
force, and with plainness that will appeal
strongly to large element. Too much
stress may be placed upon the Importance
nevertheless, 1t is available contribution for
the observation-disclosures Bee.
Archbishop Ireland may be called upon to
explain to the Chicago Tribune that he used
the word "lurid'' as referring to a dull glare
and not as meaning bright or red as fames-
Chippewa Herald.
Archbishop Ireland does not know it ALL
1t was to be expected that being a Republic
can, he would indorse the St. Louis
structure and condemn the Chicago one
Springfield News.
The News publishes today In full Arch
Dlsnop ITeland's letter on the political situa-
uon. The archbishop is an American a
patriot American-and speaks from that
andpoint.-Aberdeen News.
Bishop Ireland is neither a believer in
cheap Religion nor cheap money.-Baltimore
Herald.
Archbishop Ireland is one of the brightest
men in the Northwest, and his opinions are
ToSD0ctod in fhnT uth liz
church, but out of it, as being the deduc-
lions OF one who is fully qualified to speak
authoritatively. There is little doubt but that
MS letter on TINS question will secure many
votes for the Republican ticket all over the
country.-MazepDa Tribune.
Archbishop Ireland's letter will help the
opposite cause. Citizens of the United States
are freemen; they are intelligent and capable
OF Self-goVernment, and they do not relish
dictation as to how they should vote from
the preachers and priests. In fact they will
resent it every time.-Moorhead News.
Archbishop John Ireland, of st. Paul has
written his regular quadrennial pronuncfa-
mento in favor of the Republican party. The
archbishop is ehurchman of high character,
and as such is entitled to respect but he has
dabbled so much in politics that his announce
ment this year will carry with it very little
weight His weakness has always been a
penchant for meddling in state affairs. He
has a perfect right to do this, but there ar
taste or not.-Chicago Chronicle.
Irelands argument will go Just as far as
that of any other prominent lifelong Repub-
lican, and no further. But a significant fea-
ture of the letter is the fact that it gives
secondary importance to free coinage. With
the writer this is fight, not so much for
monetary standard, as for strong arm at
Washington. Three weeks ago, when Bryan
declared that there were other subjects than
free coinage, he was accused of trying to get
dicau 70
mass against class. Will Republican papers
censure Ireland in the same spirit and &C
cuse him Of arraying class against mass? We
shall see.-Grand Forks Plaindealer.
1t is a remarkable paper, from the pen of
one Of the most learned respected and patri-
otto of American citizens, and the good gov
eminent forces should see that 1t is gotten
before every voter of the country.-Grand
Forks Herald.
It is letter which should have the
thoughtful reading of all, and it will furnish
plenty of food for Observation-Disclosures Free
Press.
There is no doubt about Bishop Ireland's
sincerity. He speaks as the patriot who loves
his country not as the politician hunting
for votes, and for that reason his words
should have added weight. No doubt his let
ter in full will be placed within the reach of
every voter in the state before the campaign
closes, and we assure them 1t is worthy Of
careful perusal.-Preston Times.
Archbishop Ireland's treatment of the money
question is clear and distinct He takes
the same patriotic stand on the issues in
volved in the present campaign as has marked
his discussions of all subjects touching the
welfare of the American people. He does not
hesitate to give his views clearly and en-
phatically. His words are those Of warning
and should be pondered by every patriotic
citizen in the country.-Chippewa Herald.
