California, men feared that California
to avo her own intercuts, might some
day wish to separate from tho union
and therefore they saw with great re
lief that this iron link tied tho western
coast to tho eastern; they saw that
other links would be forged as they
had been, and that wo would bo bound
together by close and easy eommunlca'

any man in tho future, however ambl
tlous or daring he might be, to dream
of separating us, California is my
native state, My father was u banker
there when I was born, and of tho first
men to project that railroad, one of tho
first to subscribe stock to it, ono of the
first to bear thut brunt of approblum
which all men get that venture to look

first, therefore, to otter his services,
not in the south, where destruction was
carried on In the miino of reconstruct'
tion, but in tho north, where he could
advance tho solid benefit of the whole
nation. Gladly did ho give tho troops
that were necessary to protect that
railroad from the Indians; gladly
did ho inaugurate a man like General
Dodge, who took an active part in tho
enterprise, and ho was one of the first
to exult in its execution, for I knew
him Intimately to his dying day, I
know that he regarded that as one of
tho brightest achievements in his lif.
time, that ho had been one of its first
projectors, and therefore one of the
first to see that on the western shore of
the Missouri river that tho initial
terminus of that ralroad, though the
first miles were built in California, that
hero there would rest forever a city,
a mighty metropolis, mark of that vast
enterprise, to mark its important ruin
lation to tho future of this great nation,
Ladies and Gentlemen, there rests at
this moment a slight cloud over this
metropolis, for It is said in the east,
and told us In the magazine that on
the fourth of last July, there met In
this very hall a vast assembly of men
and women who listened to socialistic
utterances which, if carried to their
logical conclusion, would undo your
mighty nation, would sever the bond,
which would rend not only the political
ties, tint all these deeper ties, ties of
the family, ties of the earth, ties that
bind to father, mother and to God,
Now, it may bo in a moment of enthus
iasm, carried away by some eloquent
speaker, or by some hook like that
of BollMmy's, which serves to while
away the passing hour, that this dream
of some future that may be, may do
ceive tho imagination which Is not for
earth but for heaven, of people from
tho villages and cross-mud which met
here to give belief to such doctrine, but
I find it impossible to believe, when I
look at this splendid assembly and see
the Intelligent faces, that it was this
audience that gave their belief. I know
that It could not have been, and I know
Omaha was not then fairly represented.
It was the country side that had come
in, tho country sido where there is not
that intelligence, not that culture and
refinement which hero echoes back to
tho speaker, the true, sound logical and
deep solid principles upon which we all
agree. The principles which made the
nation, tho principles which keep the
nation, the principles which you must
defend forever In order to defend the
nation, the principles which are tho
opposite of socialistic individualism,
My subject tonight is Americanism,
and first I must say that by America I
mean of course tho United States of
North America. Ladies and gentle
men, this country should have the name
America distinctively. When we go
abroad, as many of us have to do fre-1

anil not to Canada, of men whose fathers
gained lndeiendoneo from Britain one
Hundred and twenty years ago, and who
will now not admit or tolerate, within
tho borders of its fair land, the slight-
est shadow of HrltUh rule.
Americanism, I take to lie, not one
opinion, sentiment or doctrine, but
that combination of sentiments, opln-
ions, views and doctrines of which all
Americans perfectly agree. Wo differ
In a thousand ways it is needless to say,
but wo agree on so many things, so
many things thatnro good and so many
things that aro true, it seems to me
that wo ought to be able to meet in
such assemblies 'as this, and settle In
ojien, fair and manly discussion, any
differences that we have, and not have
to have recourse to secret lodges where
men's rights are trampled on in order
to secure other men's rights. (Ap-
plause.) It was in tin open hall that
our fathers won their freedom. It was
listening to such men as l'atrlek Henrv
out in tho meadows where all tho world
might hear that that freedom was so-
cured. It was in grand assemblies like
this that the forty men who framed tho
constitution went out to explain to all
tho people what that constitution was,
and say to them, will you accept it?
That constitution is now threatened In
Its highest, deepest and strongest prln-
clplo. Hywhnl? .Open, fair and manly
discussion? No, Though our nation,
has given an object lesson to tho world
of nation making, though wo have
formed four and forty states, minus the
thirteen original ones, though we have
held one hundred and fifty constitutional
conventions to modify our inferior laws,
never has any man stood up In anv
American assembly and said that such a
thing u religious liberty should be
diminished in America. And a threat
of that diminution is tho threat of the ",u" would bo a traitor, and I ompha-down-full
of this mighty empire, What H'z"d it by saying he would boa Gultoau,
is tho first principle of Amerlcun lib- a man who assails tho first principle of
erty? What Is that principle which Is
tuost essential? Itcllglous liberty,
Why Is It most essential to America?
Tho answer is evident. If a nation Is
all composed of I'resbvterlan. the
Yosbytcrlim religlon'mlght be united
to tho stale and that bo for the welfare
of the slate. If it was composed of
Methodists, say from Ho to US per cent,
of tho nation, It might be for the wel-
faro of the state to unite with the ft"d D" has failed, Therefore I aban
Methodists, Hut If a nation Is made up doped my tactics, Hut, I'went further,
of three, five or ten religions, and If
ttioso religions exist and have vested

Ights when that nation comes into ex
Istence, then in order to have peace,
and peace on the deepest of all ones-
Hons, religion, that, nation must at Its
outset set. aside religion, and sav I will
not unite myself strictly to uny religious
body; I will give that to the people; I
will leave the religions free, then I
will Jet the pastors and mlnlstei'i unite
their churches, preach their doctrine,
and that Intense hatred which religious
life seems to require, iimithcmatle
aeh other to tlu-lr heart's content; but
out in the open field and important do-
main of politics, the subject of religion
must not be broached. They must not
stand on an equality. They must bo
perfectly free, perfectly equal, and they
must not throw down this fire brand
Ight In the midst of that which is
already hot enough, tho poll Ileal eon-
vcritlnn. Such, ladles and gentlemen,
I the (Irst Amerlcun principle; such
was tho principle laid down by our
fathers; such was one of the first let-
r of our constitution, that there
should b no religious test adopted hy
tho United States, .Therefore, within
the broad bounds of tho United Slates,
no matter how vast the empire might
extend, never could any man say, that
as a cltl.en of tho Unltod Suites, or
candidate for office in the United States,
ho was loss favored because he had any
particular religion, or no religion,
Now, Ills true that at the start the
states did not tie their hands; tho
states came into the union with all the
rights which they had before as stak's,
only surrendering those which wcro
given in the written constitution, or
Implied by it, and the right to cstab- '
lish a religion or make a religious test
was reserved to the slates. Now, I am
told by some who aro jealous of that
body of religious people to whom I have

plained to tho plain country soplo, to
those who are ready to tear such men
as I am to pieces, that there was no
shadow of danger from the oaoal
power, lieeauso it was a spiritual power
and not a political power.
From that day to this it has boon
lerfoctly clear in the minds of the
itnerlcan people that there is no dan
ger from papal aggression, because If a
popo were to become over ambitious,
and Imagine that he had direct politi
cal power so as to command mo, I have
already pledged to have but one politi
cal allegiance, and I am pledged, there
fore, to resist the pope. I obey the
pope as a chief in spiritual matters, and
I obey Grovcr Cleveland because my
conscience tells me that tho elected
chief of tho American people Is 'the
ected eldof in political matters,
therefore, If Mr. Cleveland said to me,
you shall not worship God according to
the dictate of your conscience in the
I toman Catholic fulth, I would turn my
backouhlm, and If tins popo suld. vou
shall not obey fi rover Cleveland, bo-
cause he lsal'rosbytorlttn, or a heretic,
1 would turn my back on him.
Again I talked to thetn about the
pope's delegate, Sntolll, a simple little
Dalian gentleman, Hy the wuy, 1 hud
him interrupt mo once in a debate at
Francisco college. Ho took up tho
topic, while carrying on my debate, and
gave me a little compliment, Now,
that modest little Italian gentleman is
hero as arbitrator to decide disputes
between bishops and priests. That
man represents the papal power, Vou
and 1 aro in Washington tomorrow,
the next day we meet him, if he has
five cents ho can ride on the street car,
If he has twenty-five cents he can ride
In a cub, and for two dollars ho can
take u hack. He Is going about like
anybody else, and dressed like anybody
else. You all grant he has civil papal
authority, He ha shown that pretty
(dearly. What authority has lie to
threaten the American people. For
Instance, where are hi swords, where
are his Insets, He is a man without
JU. , SN ,r
any shadow of physical force, and none
at his command; and this man en
dangers the American nation, Th
absolute and utter absurdity of the
thing is so evident to any intelligent
man that none of us who are Catholics
enn conceive how there can Is) any sin
cere men who think this man endangers
any country, any county or state, or
the power of a police magistrate, bo
cause the Other day he had the sum
mons of a Jersey Judge and he oljoycd
It. Mark th.it, the pope's representa
tive, who is tho poj.0 for America, as
they say, ols'ys a Jersey Judge; and he
endangers the whole of the United
Slate. We haye but two million men
In arms of all nationalities and ull re
llglons, Vo could call out tomorrow
four million. Wt have but one politi
cal allegiance, and still they say there
is danger of papal aggression, danger
of sioplii tsdng robbed in some myster
ious way that no one can explain.
With regard to this divided allegiance,
haye you all an allegiance to the gov
ernor of Nebraska? Of course, Huve
you all an allegiance to the president
of the United States? Of course, Now
answer me: Have you a divided allegi
ance, yes or no? I ask lieeause there
Is danger in America, no danger from
religions which you have put to one
side, but danger from this answer me
again, was there danger in JWll, when
Itobert Leo meditated whether Vir
ginia had a greater claim on him than
the United State, and George Thomas
had tho same meditation, and one said
I stand for the union, and theothersald
I stand for Virginia, Aye, there was
then, and that was what that danger
meant, and wo know wherein tho dan
ger lies, und we trust that tho danger
Is over, and wo see, too, that while
thero is danger in not having a clear
line drawn between a stAto which is
sovereign in one respect and a nation
in another; thero can be none whatever
when that jurisdiction is spiritual,
and therefore without physical force,
and the other is temporal, therefore

not say an atheist has no American
rights, but I say an atheist Is llu
champion of this Infernal crew who aro
trying to take our American rights
from ten million who certainly have
them. Again 1 ask this question, has
tho tlmo come when tho whole Ameri
can people are ready to admit that that
grand and beautiful leader of this
world, that man of men who lifted up
all the races of the ages, that he is not
a true man, and that there is not some
such thing as religion in some shape or
form, If that time has come, then
America's doom Is scaled and I close my
mouth, but If that time has not come,
if wo all still admit sortie religion In
some form or other, and some God, then
tho time has come also to crush out the
first man who dares to deny that every
man in the bounds of our nation has
full political rights, W can admit,
or tolerate, or put up with thuoxl
tence of organizations which threaten
even to take away such rights. Hi
not a question of elections, H Is not
question of holding office, it is not a
question of Jealousy, it is not a ques
tion of greed for political places, but it
is a question whether or not the first
prlnelploof tho constitution shall stand
or whether men shall be allowed to go
about the streets and say that it shall
not stand, because the constitution says
no religious tost for office. These men
sny there is religious test for office, and
they make It that no Komari Catholic
shall run for ollice, therefore these men
hit straight against the constitution of
the United States, One or the other
must full, Which shall It be. Think
of the absurdity of a man who thinks
that because ho worships an orange
blossom, he can throw himself in front
of an express train going sixty miles
an hour and the express train will
cither ignore him or will ho afraid of
him or be thrown .back by blm. That
Is what he expects, There Is a rule of
warfare laid down by General Stanton
that when you have found out who
your enemy Is, first you must get him
on tho run and when you get him on
the run you must stlek your bayonet
Into him and then you must keep slick
ing it in and keep him on the run.

mi'ititt r that whi n 11 diet Arnold,
the topical traitor for America, we
uiedilalliig his In-Aton, he wa also
meditating an excu-n for thnt tivAson.
We All remember when wen-ad Ibal
prisloiiiAlliin or letter which be A.l-dn-ssid
to the American army, and lit
a way to the American people! siif
io you recollect Ihe drift of It, let mo
remind you of Its content, and reinem
1st that Heii. d let Arnold was a major
general In tho Unlto.l Stall's army. Ho
said, J do not rcniomlsir his exact
words, but the drift of It Is clearly In
my mind, "Your army has it ranks
filled with Human Catholic soldiers.
What assurances have you, fellow coun
trymen, that If this war I curried out
to a successful Issue, that you Protes
tant will bo allowed to worship freely
In that worship which you came to
America to secure freedom of." Now,
them Is a historical fact that marks
these men as glaring up under tho
standard of Henedlct Arnold. Tho
reason why he thought it tight to be
tray America was ls-causo America waa
not Catholic, not I'rotestant, but part
Catholic and part I'rotestant, because
the American army was part Catholic
and part I'rotestant, and tho reason
that Henedlct Arnold gave for his
ireason is mo reason mat these men
give for their trenson,and Arnold
banishment shall be theirs. I said
that they wcro cowards. A man
is afraid to come forth and declare h
principle, whatever they are, I

a cowards, every man, I said that
they were liars. I say now that they
make lying a trade, and make it such
a trade a to call them liars is a thLig
that pleases them, and tho only thing
I can do to displease them would be to
say them is soma little truth here and
there in their excuse, For lntaueo,
they say we Catholics cannot be loyal
Americans. There is some truth in
that, because loyal, with them, means
loyal to the prince of Canada, and her
majesty, prince of Orange's successor.
In Detroit I noticed on the ticket;
