protest against his autocratlc sway.
It is we'll known to every delegate
who attended the last National
Convention at Cleveland that the
lines of religious prejudice were
sharply drawn. It was plain to
every intelligent and fair-minded
man that secretly the sympathies
of the bigots and fanatics who
compose the A. P. As. were ap-
pealed to, to secure their support.
Can it be possible that in this
supposed age Of enlightenment,
the nineteenth century, that such
q lot of fanatics are permitted to
EXIST They rightly belong to the
middle ages, where their stupidi-
ty was equalled, but not excelled
by others of their ilk. Do they
really believe for an instant that
their errors will be held by men
of intelligence? Narrowminded-
ness and bigotry do not 60 with
intelligence, and they will find it
out later on to their cost. If they
wanted to become a power and
come out like men, why did they
not place candidate in the field
and attach to his name these three
letters-A. P. A., and ask his
friends to vote for him? Had
they done this his vote would have
been enormous (nit). Why do
they have recourse to insinuations
and subterfuges if their intention
and policy was honorable? No!
a thousand time no! that they
could not do, for it would be the
deathknell of their order Inc this
CITY, at least. The sooner that
this association of Protected Asses
is given to understand that they
cannot flourish here the better it
will be for the community.
