Ing In thla manner to offend the demo
crate here thi afternoon, bccau I be
lieve the good democrat, like layaclf,
acted In good faith; you did not under
atand, a you all do now, a we all do
now, tho al Illation, and henco wo be
lieved that the democratic party with
(Jrover Cleveland wa going to lend ua
into tho land of I'uradlac, (Lnughter,)
W are in the land at the preaent time,
and we have not much like or it,
(Laughter )
you will aik why it fa that audi a
condition of affair cxiat a it do eit
in thi country, grid you will uk, and
rightly, i the only party to blame the
democratic party' My friend, I will
anwer you "No," both tho old partie
have been to a certain extent dominated
by a foreign influence, and It I that
foreign Influence that we havo come to
gether to d ieua not tho religion
part of tho inatltution, bocauae we are
American citizen and wo give tho
right of religion liberty to every re
ligion organization in the nation, The
f toman Catholic church ba the ame
right to exerclaolt devotional aervice
and Instruct It jople a any other, o
long ft It doc not intruct thoao people
In treanon, and conapire politically
agalnat our government and our Inatl
tution, (Applauae.) Hut my friend,
the entrance of the church Into politie
I un-American, becaoae our eoHatitu
tloti jr(x;lalm the fact that congrea
hatl make no law relative to the c
tabllahment of religion. You ure well
aware of tho fa ;t that If tho Method lata
ruled In congrea a n organization
they would naturally lie Inclined to
mak law that would uphold Method
lam, bceanao wo ludieve tho Methodlat
I boneat in hi Ndief, that the route of
tho Methodlat church I everal mile
hort!r and nearer to Heaven than
other, If the HptlU had an organ
ization that entered politic, or tho
I'reahyterian, they would do tho rno
thing; but our inatltution known a
I 'rot tant lntitution, though nc
arlly l'rolelant, do not Include re
ligion, for we maintain tho im i that
I Voteatttntlarn I a living principle of
Amerlcanlam, and that without I'ro
leatantiam no man can ho ft good Amer
ican citizen. (Applauae.) Therefore I
will tell you that a man may be a JVo
teatunt, who 1 not a religion man.
Now jxtrbaji you do not exactly gather
my meaning, I will try to rnako it
clear by aaylng thi; Kvery time you
vote, you are a J'rotetant, and wo are
preparing to rnako thi fail one of the
grandeat prot-,at thi nation ever made,
(Applause.)
I am to havo a chance with ail other
good democrat to p''"tent agalnat tho

run In the InUsreat, virtually, of the
Kornan Catholic political church, (Ap

Thu wliolo Homan Catholic church
I moved by a button which I preaaed
-In Home, Thu pope prene the button
and tho curdlnul aro moved; tho card

are moved, and o with thu prluat, who
move tho people; but the people havo
no button - their In simply to obey,
They aro like hecp, and I Nitppoao that
I why wind 1 o cheap. Laughter. I
muatglve you evidence to provo tho
blind olaullence demanded in tho Ho
man Catholic church. We havo aorno
eminent men of tho Homan Catholic
faith, who havo okcn of thi matter,
Horo 1 ft reaponnibiu witnoa, Cardinal
Manning, HI utterance can't bo
denied. Tho word of a priont can lie
denied hecauao ho 1 not In the church
proper. Ho only give order to tho
nhcep, Tho bishop aro tho lowest
official of tho church. Hut thi doc
not destroy tho organization. It I one
of tho moat perfect organization In
America, Macau lay ayt It iiollcy I
the most perfect In tho world. After
centurlc it ha perfected ft machinery
that control and deceive tho, people,
Cardinal Manning ailu it wa tho
duty to obey tho civil law ao long a It
doe not oppono faith, Ho laid that
dootrlno before the Hrltlsh public, for
tho British havo had to fight tho fight
which we aro now making, They bad
to fight for their Magna Charta a wo
are now buttling for our conatltution.
Cardinal Mannlntr uaed the word I
have quoted in Jtinuhoc'n Mmjazim of
December, )HHH, He indorsed a book
written by a father Bhopo, In thla
book are these word; 'The civil law
are binding upon the conacli-neeonly ho
long a they are conformable to the
principle of the true church,'
Now, hero i a blow at o ir civil law.
Hero U one of thecauaenof tho anarchy
that I beginning to app -ar throughout
our land tod y, The American jcopIe
have received an inheritance conform
able to tho law that have been passed
down ton-a constitution that govern
by tho people and for thep ;oplo. Juat
0oonatho people begin to believe
that tho law are not binding on tho
conscience, o long aa they do not agree
with ft certain 'eoclela, justao soon will
our constitution be undermined, Car
dlnal Manning reported to Oladton
that tho Hritiah citizen must learn hi
duty In Itomo I have voted for Orover
Cleveland and ho ha been asking at
Itorno what tho dutleaof American ub
Jeet are, Loud applauae,) And we
are today proteating becaune we believe
In roe America, We can know our
duties, and wo do know what tho dutlea
of American citizen aro without going
Ut Homo to learn 'tbem, Yon are not
fating exhortod today to rlot: I do not
wish to aay one word to arouse angry
feeling, but I declare aolemnly, In the
preaenco of the God who gave u ii berty,
that we aro pledged to aland by our
conatltution by every peaceful method,
but If It ahould be neceaaary for u to
give up our liberty or our llye, our
live will go out, Ioud and continued
applause,
Cardinal Mann'ng said another per
tinent thing ft very pertinent thing
when It I applied to American politic.
Ho ald that a contract to which Homo
I not a party, made by a Homan Cath
olic, is not binding, We have been
electing Homun Catholic to tho moat
Imoortant office In our government.
We have truated them because dltrut
I not one of our Amnrlmn principle.
Hut when we discover that tho prornlHO
which congressman make to hi con
tituent 1 not binding nnles ratified
by Home when wo learn that In the
event of ft conflict of duties ho must
obey Homo, then It I time to conwider
if thi trust J to be continued,
Tho obligation of auch ft man ralo
ft very aoriou consideration. Von have
heard ft good deal of tho A. I', A'; If.
ha been stated that our obligation I
U boycott Catholic, A a member of
that organization I know of no uch ob
ligation, Applause Hut one obliga
tion aucnsd to your heart and acred
to mine I tho duty of every free Amer

ambition and gain in order to atand
for the common good and for the con
