When Archbishop Ireland was shown
rather unpatriotlc statement by Cath
Ollie priest in New York on Friday, he
said:
"No true American Catholic will talk
of espousing the cause of Spain, against
that of this country, because the former
is Catholic nation.
''To do that, is to set ones self down as
traitorously inclined to the teachings of
his religion, as we'll as to the country
which it is his bounden duty to defend
against all enemies, both internal as
well as external.
"It is an Infamous suggestion" he
continued, sand it would seem as if it
could only emanate from a bitter enemy
of the faith, for it is directly opposed in
every way to the spirit and teachings of
Catholicism.
''Insofar as implying that the pope
would use his Offices to aid Spain as
against this country, the suggestion is as
Infamous as the one first mentioned.
Whatever action he may take in this
matter will be with the single idea of
averting, if possible, war between two
Christian nations. He looks upon the
possibility of war between this country
and Spain with horror, and, as the vice
regent OF God, considers it his bounden
duty to help bring about an adjustment
of the pending difficulties between those
two nations. That is the only way in
which his influence is or will be exerted."
Hon. Charles A. Towne was inter-
viewed in California last week and de-
clared that William Jennings Bryan
would most certainly be the candidate
of the united silverites in 1900. Upon
this point he said.
ut will be impossible to supersede
him, because he has impressed himself
on the country, not only as man of
ability, but, above everything, as man
of absolute sincerity of purpose, entire
devotion to the cause, and of supreme
moral courage. The people have come
to believe in him. They trust him. In
their minds he is identified with the
cause. While his appearance in 1896 at
the head Of the silver forces was, in a
certain sense, unexpected, and his re-
sponsibilities delicate and heavy, almost
beyond comparison, yet he has met every
duty, and made no mistakes. In spite
of the efforts in New York and other
large cities to get control of delegations
which will nullify the Democratic plat
form, there will be no abatement of the
loyalty of the people. They will de-
mand Mr.. Bryan as their standard bearer,
and they will get him." Mr.. Towne IS
right. w. J. Bryan has made himself as
much the logical, legitimate and ire
pressible candidate of the silverites for
1900, as Abraham Lincoln was the una
voidable nominee of the Republican par
ty in 1854.
