W. B. Traynor, in which you find ■
the following delicious morccl: J
“The candidate voluntarily re- i
nounces the right of private judg- 1
ment in this essential, when he
becomes a member of this order.
It is a solemn compact which he
can neither modify nor amend.
The keystone of the A. P. A. is
the fact that a papist, no matter
how liberal nominally, is not a con-
sistent citizen of the United
States. Entire renunciation of the
papacy must precede his accept-
ance by our association, as a can-
didate worthy ot its suffrages.’
“The A. P. A. is not a political
party and docs not control the
political affiliations of its members"
means, therefore, that “the candi-
date voluntarily renounces the
right of private judgment in this
fsscntial,'n\».en he becomes a mem
bcr of this order." It seems to us
that, if a member of an organiza-
tion cannot follow his private
judgment in regard to candidates
for office, he is evidently controlled
' in his political affiliations, and. if
thus controlled, his order is a po-
friendship of some Cathr-iic prel-
ates, etc. If the “essential", ot
which Traynor speaks, includes
not only Catholics but all those
affiliated with Catholics in some
way or another, how many candi-
dates worthy of A. P. A. suffrages
will remain? No fair-minded
American, who believes in the pro-
vision of our Constitution; “No
religious test shall ever be required

VlCE-PK ESID EXT STEVENSON
has been denounced at the late A.
P. A. convention in Washington
by Delegate Joseph Waldrop of
California, for a crime, the most
enormous that can be committed
according to A. P. A. teaching.
“Some ot us," said Waldrop, “who
went to the Capitol to-day, had
our feelings grossly insulted." Con-
sidering the fact that the feelings
of an A. P. A. arc only a little
higher than animal instincts, the
conduct of the Vice-President must . _
have been scandalous in the ex by the A. P. A. The only candi-
trtme. What was it? “We saw," dates that can entertain such
said the delegate ot California, hopes arc the bigots, the fanatics,
“the spectacle of our Vice-Presi-
dent walking through the corridors
arm in arm with the representative i
of Rome ^Cardinal Satolli.)" Aw-
ful, awfuL There is now but one
course open to Stevenson, if be
ever intends to atone for his sin;
it is to kick the representative of
Rome out of the Capitol and to be- soil, Charles Cotesworth Pinckney.
oreover, the Christians in Tar-
irc regarded by the Turks as
iany foreigners, about as the
k>Hcs in the United States are
rded by the A. P. A.’s, and if
ire treated less cruelly, it is not
fault of our enemies. The

The members of the A. P- A
have been officially notified bf
their Supreme Council, that tber
may vote for thc Honorable W3-
liam McKinley. Since it has fe
come almost certain that the bi-
ter will receive thc nomination fir
thc Presidency on the Republic*
ticket, these A. P. A. High 0®-
dais concluded that, eveytik*
considered, McKinky was as go*^
a man as any offer candidate fir
the Presidency and that they woJf
do well to dimb on his cainpsip
istenCe by thc Sultan, it is only be- ’ wagox T
It is dimb

says that platform, but Whiskey
Bill Traynor, their late supreme
president, speaks differently. In
his address at their recent conven-
tion m Washington he said;
“Others go so far as to take thc
position that a member of the

mine for himself thc question of \hcsc
loy?lty or disloyalty of any papist
postulant for office, and reserves
I to himself thc right to persuade

icr vicar he -s controlled only in reference
to Catholic candidates for office.
Even so, he is being controlled,
he is no longer a free voter, he is
thc tool of thc leaders of his order.
It is they who have to judge about
thc Catholicity ot a candidate, and
Baker of the ho* 6* they can go in their judg-
ment has been shown in the Mc-
Kinley campaign. McKinley is
not a Catholic, nor are his relatives
Catholics. Still, for a time, the
Advisory Board of the A. P. A.
denounced him as not being
worthy of thc A. P. A. support,
because on some occasions he did
not show himself unfriendly to
Catholics, because he enjoyed the h*v* mt-t proclaimed or practiced re

ThoSOUTBEHX MnSSEMGEK (Romanist;
waxes wroth, a* the following extract
shows: - * Holmes shipped murdering
. only when locked up. and Cranfill will
stop lying against the Catholic i.'hurch
only when in his grave." We would
be in our grave quite speedily, if the
•objects of the Roman Pontiff h*d rhe
power they once had. But tn free
America we have hardly as yet turned
our all over to the Pope.
One of the favorite pastimes of
Dr. Cranfill is to make his benight-
ed readers believe, that Rome
would kill all Protestants if it had
thc power to do so Dr. Cranfill,
of course, is not thc only Baptist
reverend that makes this unkind
assertion; but, it these reverends
believe that everything said about
Baptist toleration is flattering to
thc Baptists, they arc wofully
mistaken. Brann, in his J one
Iconoclast, answers a Baptist di-
vine of the Cranfilltan type in a
manner, that will stop that divine
for ever from asking any further
questions;
