The San Francisco call., 1898-11-01

taken up the cry against James G. Ma
 gulre because he wrote book upon Ire
 guire is at perfect liberty in his book to
 express his preference for the Vicar or
 Hell over the Vicar of Christ. MT, James
 C. Mcguire knows his own friends best.
 lLaughter and applause) Mir. James c..
 Mcguire may have so far forgotten the
 Judicial impartiaIity- that belonged to his
 station as to step down from the bench
 and gather up all the calumnies of the
 sApers and the jumpers and the libel
 mongers against Ireland and the Pope.
 He may have forgotten that neither he
 nor any man of his name or race could
 nave sat in the position which he occu-
 pied were it not for the self-sacrifice of
 MT. James G. Mcguire may have been
 torgetful of the very hand that helped
 hlm in his time of need. He was fed
 py the Jesuits when as yet he was a
 stranger in San Francisco and knew not
 how profitable gratitude might be-
 come He betrayed the party that first
 affections to another faction, again
 changed his coat the third time and the
 fourth time came back to party for the sake of office. These matters are beyond
 my comprehension.
 "But one thing I will speak about. and I
 nave right to speak about, and that is,
 this community MT. James G. Mcguire was dumb. When bigotry was rampant in the tn halls Of Congress in Washington MT. raised in opposition to it. When your Dr. Dille was able about the Sd of July, 1898, to claim MT. Mcguire as the Catholic MT. James G. Mcguire never thought it worth his while to put in a disclaimer. Never once, by. word or deed, would he put himself on the same side as the people from whom he sprung, and who since he was able to walk have put the bread in his stomach and the clothes upon his
 MT. Mcguire is now lifting up his voice against his opponent on the Republican ticket as man who is tied down to cor poratfons and who dared not call his soul his own. Would you who remember my course consider that am friend of cor operations Enr or. or that l am afraid of them? guire was shouting as loudly as now that corporations were fighting him on the railroad issue and on the religious issue came out in his favor and took part III the contest in his behalf.
 When, two years ago, great trust was behind the A. P. As in San Fran people Of San Francisco were able to beat them. l believe that when corpora ton Is an opponent of religious liberty that we should fight the corporation. I do not believe, and you do not believe, and no man of liberal tendencies believes that We should betray religious liberty for Tor the sake of beating corporation. There are things higher than politics. There are things higher than mere suc- cess, and one of these things is religious freedom.
 "I do not care if Gage were tied down to ten thousand corporations. I know this: Four years ago In Los Angeles he stood on the floor of the Republican con vention when that convention was con- trolled by A. F. As, and when bigot resolution was brought in there he stood i up like a man and opposed it. (Great the beetle-browed and left their com pany man and a hero. (Great applause).
 When the same question came before 1 MT. James G. Mcguire he shuffled and he eyaded 1t, and he stood on one foot, and | stood on the other foot Qaughterl and | tried to dodge, and he tried to shift. At that he could not any longer do either, he | by taking his stand with Dr. L Linton, who is the exponent of the idea 70 equal rights. (Great applause).
 T do not believe in bringing religion nto any political fight. I do not believe i h which he expressed his opinions and | they happened to differ from mine. But | lighting every party that says that I and 1 my fellow-Catholics have not as much | tight in this country as men of any other Great applause9
 1T! reflect upon the fact that Jailbird | Price, who since his liberation from San Quentin has been running an official A: F. lpon the fact that every A. P. A. from Sishyou to San Diego. who recalls his r Ienunciation against them is out against Iage. I reflect upon these facts, and I annot and will not believe that the people of California who two years ago ought and won the battle for religious reedom will forget that when this is- Iue was put before James C.. Maguire nan who said that Catholics had not as much rights. as other men. An! James c. Mcguire, false. to your mothers creed; alse to your fathers people, you needed ut this erowning infamy that you should l. 'e false to your own plighted wordi.
 s'Now, ladies and gentlemen, I have rfed to do that of which politicians are ;reatly afraid and that is to tell you the ruth; the whole truth and nothing but he truth. would not change a syllable if what I have said, because I believe hat you ,whe fought and who sacrificed for elfgious liberty, should not be fooled by 5olitician- The only way in. which you ng. the truth. The truth try to tell 'ou, not for personal ends, not: for sell Ish objects, but for your own benefit. You are the people. who will gain or who fill suffer in the long run. :.
 You now know the facts. May God i've you grace to do what is right, and nay God bless you and keep you all, and
