Wo knew Mr. Mereer wa the tool of
llome and we susprn'ted Mr. Hitchcock,
on account of hi hualnnRa that of
owner of the World-Herald would not
dare to take a stand against the Inter
est of the lloman Catholic church.
IV r some time It ha been apparent
that there ahould lie a new party. J.
Sterling Morton and hi confrnree
who are soon to moot In Philadelphia,
can do the people a lasting; service If
they will rlaa to the occasion and make
the cardinal irlncrpca of their new
party, separation of church and state;
complete civil and rellgloua liberty;
opening of all private or sectarian
asylums or house of detention; If they
will renew the declaration In favor of
freo apeech, of free schools and of a
free pre; they wilt again declare
that all power Is derived from the gov
erned, and that this la and ought to
he a government of the people, for tha
poodle and by the people. If they fall
to take that advanced ground thojr lose
tholr only opportunity to meet the de
mands of the hour.
It may not lie known by politician
that the American people realize that
the republican party Is but a toy In tha
baud of Archbishop Ireland, that they
real fen that tho democratic party Is
but a pawn In the possession of Arch
bishop Corrlgan and Cardinal fJllibon.
That they know that no matter which
party wins the church of Homo Is the
gainer,
It Is In Mr. Morton's power to put
a party In tho Held that will cut right
Iw'twoeti the Influence of the prelates
of that church, and draw to his stan
dard the best and truest element of our
cltlxenshlp. Iln lis tho courage, ho
has the ability, to unify all tho reform
elementa, and If t.e goes Into the fight
with an eye single to the welfare of the
people, to tho perpetuation of their
liberties, and to the rehabilitating of
their free Institutions, he will have
written hi name high up on the scroll
of fame, aa the benefactor of bl coun
trymennot least of whom are the
millions of patriots who ana In the
steady and raphl advancement of the
church of Rome to a point of vantage
in our affair of state the real enemy
of their country and who are waiting
for a loader who u lll place In the frort
thoae principle which they love, and
for which their father fought and died,
Will bo do It?
To keep the record straight for fu
true reference, let It be remembered
that two of tho fighting supporter of
Win. I. Klnrslead for county commla-
sloner were John A. Crolghton and
Fred J, Rackett. It will be recalled that
these gentlemen formed an offensive
and defensive alliance at the lime
flaekctt ran for tax commissioner
when he became a party to foisting
Frank B, Moores upon the people. It
Is also a matter of record that alnce
Mr. SAckett was installed as tax com
missioner he baa cancelled a large
amount of city tax in which Count
Crolghton's diurcb is Interested.
