TImi candid and convincing manner In which tlm nrtfi'lu l presented, and tho logical arrangement of circumstances in connection with I lio meeting, should convince every honest man of tlm troth of every word of tlm vaporing of tll fonalloill UlHIIIllllst. The polite utut endearing oppollo lion of "Soiilh Omaha Calllo." uiul "Among tho common animals," in con miction 'villi Mich former appellation an "pimps," "political soreheads," etc should bo conclusive proof of tho fair uml truthful report of tlm "convention. A I wiw ono of tho "common animals" tit Unit convention, I will siitto Unit tho audience, taken a ft whole, wan far Mipnrlor to "common," and Urn cuttlo referred to, woro tiiouoihuiiikkoh, an fur on loyally to American iiiHtUutlons 1m concerned. Tho citizen of Omaha and Dougla county are to bo congratulated in hav lug ho loyal (P) a champion of Amerl can Institution a 4 thu organ of tho pope, and may rely on getting a truth ful report of tho "Whitecap" mooting, of which organization It reporter In not a moiiibor,Aud Into whose mooting ho could not gain admission. I dlsllko to ItiNlnuato that lin had been worshipping nt tho ihrino of Hiiooliu prevloiiN to making tho report of tlm meeting,' therefore must nt loat come to tho conclusion that hi roorvo stock of imagination and prevarication In Inexhaustible, and an a competitor of Julo Verne and Rider Haggard, el al., ho would rank very favorably, 1. e, at leant with tlm Imaginative portion, I observed In your contemporary a tribute to the Unman Catholic church In reference) to tolerance. Will that shoot kindly state how long it would tolerate tho presence of a number of "spotter" In front of tho hall where It itumoroiiN secret, societies meet and who might seek to worm them selves Into TllKiit meeting? Member of thkik organization havo been seen love nt mkktino Nioirr In front of tho A. P. A. hall and they havo deported themselves like thorough Nnnak, yet havo been tolerated by tlm "White cap," to avoid unnoeoary trouble, Will tho Hon. (P) Richard O'Kcefu, county oommlssloimr, explain hi pre encfl at Oorliold Hall on that Tuoday evening, and state why ho did nt, ft A true American citizen, assist tho gen tleman who wa assau'tod In hi pres ence, In Apprehending tho party mak ing the assault? Can tho Romanist nioutli-ploon ex plain why other assault woro made upon Inoffensive member of tho A. P. A. tho sanm evening? Nearly all foreign nationalities havo secret organization in America, and Attend their meeting without tnolosta Hon or hindrance, but let a distinctive ly American organisation attrm I or presume to cull (tin BMenliiitl of lb I'll len to Urn treasonable thiclrltm of a certain religion political hierarchy .am It nt inn become the tnrgct for inale dictloii mid abuse, and member are Intel fet ed Willi or asatilled. If till I the spirit of tool anion a taught by tlm Itomnn Catholic church, then tin) sooner that tlm olllce In tlm gift of Urn American people am withheld from It repreientatlve the sooner will our law bo administered In tlm Interest t. fairness and Justice and our poll tic freed from corrupting Inlliionoo, Wo reipiest ami demand that the Ho man machine shall keep lis hands on" of our political alVairs, and unloosen It grasp on tho throat of our liberties and Institution. Tho organization known a tho A. 1. A., or "Whltecaps," Is now In exist ence for tho very purpose of accom plishing that object, and with tho as distance of a few more article in your contemporary, like tho two last, wo will be unable to Initiate tho "cattlo" and "animals," who desire to get on the Inside. How long will tho American people allow tho church of Homo to oontro tho all'nir of state through it man dales to It followers? Tho priest dictate that they shall cast their ballot for ft certain eandi dale, (generally a Romanist.) )o you suppose Timr wouuhmhk hkkiisk to owe? Their only alternative would bo to do a bidden or jeopardise their chance for entering heaven. They a ru taught to bellovo they can do so only by tho good grace of tho priest and their Infallible pope, Therein lie tho chief political power of the Homan church, find who will ay It I not an arbltary one; ono which 1 destined to undermine our lustltu tion at no distant day 1 Now, I want to sny ono word In reference to tho statement that tho A. 1. A. I seeking to nullify that part of tho constitution granting civil and religion llbertly. Thl should havo boon reversed. Our organization uphold liberty of con science In tho broadest sense; It expects tho populace to exercise tholr civil right a dictated by tholr conscience, which, having been trained In a free and Independent country called Amor lea, or more properly tho United Htate, And unhampered by papal obligation, should, In my estimation, class tho possessor of such a conscience a a representative American citizen, and should entitle him to exercise tho pro rogatlvc granted by our constitution, In preference to a person whoso "think ing apparatus" had been warped and biased by hi allegiance to A religion political autocrat, whoso only state ment of friendship for the United Slate aro made upon tho probable ground, that ho might, at no distant day, become tho temporal sovereign of Catholic America. No truo and loyal American desire to Interfere with a person religion belief, or in any manner prevent him from attending place of worship, but ho should Inlerfero and demand A halt when It become apparent that the church and state are liable to bo made one, and Inseparable, a present Indi cation seem to warrant, America for Americans! Not for tho popol "WlMTK Cai.
