Have They Repented?
r..t -,!-.;!.. .,.-......
suuulu jjuwi.e.uu-.
Ola radical ieauers in .Missouri hide
their diminished heads in shame.
They have not brought forth works
meet tor repentance. Some classes
in Missouri, at least, cannot yet
quite forget the scoundrellsm of the
old regime leaders. We wonder it
the Irish priesthood have yet iorgot
ten the infamous treatment they re
ceived from the Drakes, the Filleys,
the Van Horns, the William War
ners of twenty years ago.
In 1S65 the republican party of
Missouri framed a constitution In
this constitution they prescribed an
oath of loyalty to be taken by bish
ops, priests and ministers before
they could teach, preach or solemn
ise a marriage. Win. Warner,
chairman of the republican state
committee, and now running tor
congress in the Fifth district advo
catee this infamous constitution. It
was made a criminal offense to
preach a sermon, teach a parish
school or solemnize a marriage with
out first having taken this oath.
The priests '-and many minister
refused to take the oath. Father
Cum mings at Bowling Gieen. Pike
county, was indicted for solemnizing
a marriage ana preaching u sermon,
tried and convicted. An appeal was
taken to the supreme court of the
state. Judge Wagner, chairman of
the late repulican state convention,
that by solemn resolutions willfully,
maliciously and falsely uttered libels
against the state, delivered the opin
ion of the court sustaining the con
viction ana the priest appealed to
the supreme court ot the United
States.
The court discharged him and de
clared void the provision ot the
state constitution as an interference
1
with religious freedom. Perhaps
there ire lovers of religious liberty
outside ot Missouri who would like
to read this indictment ngai nst the
good father for preaching the word
of God. It was in words as tol
lows :

Jchnstown Items.
Everything about Johnstown is all
O. K., except the republican party,
they are all broken up over the
speech of W. J. Stone, and think we
will gain a few votes from their
party, if Mr. G. W. Shelton and A.
13. Maupin the leading republicans
of Johnstown, does not give them
too much of the bloody shirt.
Saturday being the dav appointed
for W. J. Stone democratic candi
date for congress, from this district
to speak, preparations were made
accordingly by the club at this place
ami by the club from Deepwater
who came to Johnstown as a club.
So a: about 2 p. m., the line ot
1 1 11 .
marcn was lormea ana we escorted 1
the speaker to the school room, and
Mr. Ediior, when your reporter
looked upon the vast concourse of
people, ladies of every age, old men
whose steps were feeble, whose eyes
were dim, and whose heads were
silvered o'reforthe grave, all imbu
ed with the principle of right as
against wrung, (as practiced by the
republican party), to listen to, the
words of truth, as uttered by our
able and eifiicient candidate. He
could not but hope within his own
heart, that for the sake ot right, for
the sake of truth and justice once
more, that those silvery haired vet
erans, who have stood the heat and
burden of the dav should nor have
their hones to end in fruition, hut
that they should be made happy
upon the dawn of the 5th, by the
welcome news that right had tri
umphed once more, that Grover
Cleveland had been elected presi
dent and that the republican party
were among the things of the past,
and the young men and even the
boys wers imbued with the principles
of iheir sires and after a talk of
more than an hour, Mr. Stone bade
us adieu, amid one loud and annua-
tea cneer tor Cleveland, Marma
duke, Stone and all the entire ticket.
Mr. Editoi, the Democrats of
Spruce township are true, though
like Lochiel of old, their "spears
may not be a thousand yet, their
J)osoms are one" and on Nov. 4th,
they will descend to the polls like
''reapers of death" and cast their
votes solid for democracy and right.
Last Sunday quite a large atten
dance from Johnstown, attended
Sunday schocl at the Oak Hill
school house, where we hope they
well le?-rn the good word of our
Savior.
Ve would like to know where
ho se two cups came from, it you

they come from the north.

From the amount of labor the re

remarks the humiliating position of
being astraddle of the fence with
out knowing whether to keep the
roost or on which side to fall, was
plai.nly shown. While from the lat
ter, careful observers could easily
deduce the fact that they too, felt
doubtful, but m encofsing the fu
sionists none of their timber would
be slaughtered. But last evening
was their big effort, and it " may be
said that "the party of progress"
fully capped the'ehmax, by making
the evening hideous with their hol

"inner hall, before which meeting
3ich Ford appeared and assured the
sscmbled members that he never
ocouraged the prohibitionists nor
nthorized any one to pledge him as
ivorable to ptohibition. Further
1 ore he said positively that he did
ot believe in the wisdom of the
Movement and was not in sympathy
titb it. Upon these assurances he
tceived the endorsement of the
aembers present at the meeting,
iince this publication, his friends
ave taken occasion to deny its
eracity, even claiming that Ford
;ever attended the meeting. It is
aid that Mr. Ford himself, before a
neeting at Hannibal, characterized
he account as a He. From these
jromiscs, friends m the northern
fart ot the state, especially Schuyler
lounty, hold ford Forth as a temper
aice advocate. To verify the state
nents made by the Chronicle, a re
porter this morning called upon
Charles Schweickhart, iS South
Tenth street, who was instrumental
n obtaining the Presence ot Mr.
7ord before the saloon-keepers'
neeting referred to. Mr. Schweick
kart said: "Understanding that Mr.
Ford was in the city I called togeth
er a number ot the brotherbood,both
democrats and republicans, in order
that they might have an expression
ef his views on the liquor question.
Mr. Ford appeared rfnd we were
satisfied with his remarks."
"In what respect? Did he pledge
himself to your interest?"
"1 have no right to tell what he
said. But from what he said, every
republican member ot the association
will support him. He tokl cs enough
to let us know that we would be
justified in supportine him. Oh,
pshaw, he's not favorable to prohibit
ion. Everybody in St. Joseph
knows that he is interested in the
whisky trade."
"Why will you support him?"
"On accodnt of what he said in
this meeting. He assured us that
he was not m the interest of prohi
bition." r w-k c t .
