Radio Lux Lucet 125

You're listening to Radio Looks Listen. I'm your host Steve Matthews. Thanks for joining me for episode 125. The title of this episode is Will the Democrats Steal the Election? Now notice when I ask that question I'm not asking will the Democrats try to steal the election because of course they're going to try to steal the election.

They stole the last presidential election. I think they stole the 2022 midterm elections and they're going to try to steal the 2024 presidential election. That's just how these guys roll. But the question though is will they be able to actually pull it off?

And I don't know. But what I thought I'd do is I wanted to look through a few articles here tonight with you and just see some of the things that are going on out there. And we'll decide in kind of reading through this stuff will they be able to pull it off.

You know the Democrats and we've talked some on this this program I mean have had have a long history of of election theft. I'm not saying Republicans are perfect but when I've seen you know major thefts of elections I think this tends to be a Democrat specialty.

I mean the Democrats actually they're not very good when it comes up to comes to developing policies that help the American people, that strengthen the American nation, that uphold our constitution. Oh they're horrible about that.

I mean you got Hillary Clinton out there. You got who's that John Kerry. They're denouncing the the first amendment. Yeah there was a Hillary was on some program within the last few weeks and she said that if if we don't do something about the first amendment that's not an exact quote but but something to that effect you know but you know if if we don't do something about people's ability to speak freely online we're going to lose total control.

Well yeah yeah Hillary that's that's exactly the idea. We don't want you to have control. You're not supposed to have control. That's why we have a first amendment so people can talk about things not and it's not talking about the weather.

You know we're not going out and having a conversation about what a nice day it is although it was a very nice day here today in the Cincinnati area. I got did a little bit of riding today as I like to do on on Saturday so it was a beautiful fall day but that's not why we have a first amendment.

We don't have a first amendment so I can come on and do a live stream and say boy that weather was just awesome today. However awesome it actually was and it was pretty awesome today. That's not the reason we have a first amendment.

We have a first amendment to discuss things that maybe government officials don't want you to discuss and that's just too bad. I know that's hard for people like tyrants like Hillary to accept or tyrants like John Kerry to accept.

The Democrats just openly attacked the constitution and it's an amazing thing to actually watch. So why don't we go in and what I'd like to do is take a look at at a few articles but what I want to do and I thought I hope that I have this here.

Oh goodness what did I do with it. There is one article in particular it's an archive article and I wanted to use that to start with. I've got so much stuff open here that I probably am going to have to say what I'm going to do here is this is this is such a this is an art this is a type of an article that I absolutely gotta gotta have this so let's let's do this thing here and we're gonna do it.

I've got this program that I use it's called Evernote and it's actually pretty good pretty good program for storing notes and things like this that yeah let's see yeah here we go. Let's take a look yeah what I wanted to do is I wanted to go back and and take a look at the the 1960 election and there was a this is an interesting story that was put out it was put out by by the by the Washington Post.

It was that was put out by Washington Post it was it was talking about this this fellow by the name of Earl Mazzo and he was a journalist he was a friend of Richard Nixon but of course if you remember the the 1960 election you've ever read anything about it that was before I was was before I was born now I'm old but I'm not quite that old that was a little bit before I was born but there was a lot of controversy about that election the JFK that was when he was supposedly won the election he defeated Richard Nixon that year and there were a lot of people that were talking about election theft at that time and the there was a journalist by the name of Earl Mazzo that that did some I think some pretty interesting work let's see here let's see and one of the things he claimed is that they stole the election like crazy and that they stole it in in Texas and Chicago.

Okay so here it is so here it is all right so I got everything that I need here see this is this is some some first class preparation some first class show preparation here all right. So what I'm going to do let's see we're going to do a little screen share here and got that and we got let's say we don't want to do that this is what we want to do this is the screen share we want to do here and we'll do that and there we go.

Okay through the wonders of modern technology. Yeah so here's a this is a maybe the first piece instead of doing Earl Mazza we'll hold off on that for just a moment. Here's the first piece I wanted to take a look at with you and this is titled Democrats intend to steal the election.

This is by Paul Craig Roberts. Now I follow his work and in probably of of the the journalists that I've followed he might be the one that this may be the the most negative on on Donald Trump and his ability to take to win the White House not because he won't get the votes but because the Democrats are just going to flat out steal it now my base case for the the 2024 election has always been that we're not going to be able to vote our way out of this thing.

And here's why I mean this is the logic that I use and I think Paul Craig Roberts is on the same page with that. Some other people are as well. But here's how the thinking goes on the the idea is okay if you accept the idea that the 2020 election was stolen in order for we us to have free and fair elections going forward as Americans people would have to have been held accountable.

But nobody was held accountable for the the theft of the 2020 election. Nobody and in fact what happened is the only people have been held accountable have been those people who tried to investigate the the 2020 election or to protest against the perceived theft of the 2020 election.

These are the J6ers for example they got they got tossed in the who's gal. And there's I don't know for all I know they may still be arresting people. I mean there may still be people in prison or being held without haven't been tried yet for all I know I don't know it was so many people.

So you had those people then you have you've had other people like I think Rudy Giuliani and some of the other lawyers that worked on on Trump's case they they flipped. I think a few of them turned state's evidence in Georgia even though the case that near is run by that mega corrupt district attorney that Fannie Willis and she's kind of disappeared for the last few months.

But I did hear her she said she said something this past week in the in the press about wanting to restore the the trial or something. I I don't know I don't recall the exact nature but I mean that whole thing has been has quieted down quite a bit but it's still out there you know it's it's still out there it's ready to rear its ugly head but yeah the basic theory is you know that the the the Democrats stole the 2020 election and nobody's been held accountable.

And if nobody's been held accountable why would they not steal it again. You know they got away with it once they got away with it in front of the whole world and it nobody said anything about it. They just let it pass.

And it's you know the the Democrats you know they they stuck the landing so to speak and you know they they made it stick they made the election of of Jesuit Joe Biden stick they they successfully rigged him in the office and there's every reason I think they're going to rig Kamala Harris into office.

I mean the thing is once you start down that road you really can't stop. Can you. It's kind of like that saying about having a tiger by the tail you know once you grab hold of that tail that tiger is going to want to eat you and and you got to hang on to that tail because if you let go of that tail you are history.

And it's the same thing like this when you create when when you you start down that path of fraud maybe to use another analogy it's a little bit like remember Bernie Sanders he's the guy who had that that Ponzi scheme his blow up in 2008.

Well he'd been doing this thing for 20 years and and there were hints and there were people that were saying hey there's something doesn't smell right about all this but the thing is once you're once you started down that fraudulent path of building a Ponzi scheme you can't stop with the Ponzi scheme even if you want to get off even if you want to let go of that tiger tail you can't do it because the moment you do yeah everything's going to implode on your head and you're going to go to jail.

So you have to keep the fraud going. You have to perpetuate the fraud. The Democrats in my opinion they have to perpetuate the fraud because if you get if Trump gets in there and he does even a little bit of investigation into some of the um shenanigans um there's going to be some people in a world hurt and they cannot afford to do that.

They they they they simply cannot allow Trump to take office. That's my that's my theory. That's that's my story and I'm sticking to it. I don't think they're going to allow Trump to take office. I hope that I'm wrong when I say that um it's not because I want that to happen and I say that it's not because I'm trying to discourage people.

You know I think as Americans we need to go out and to vote. I think as Americans one of the things that if you're a Christian what you we all need to be doing is praying uh for free and fair elections.

And we need to pray also that the Lord would frustrate the intention of people who want to commit fraud. You know so who's wanting to do this. Well I mean people you know all these these Democrat lawfare lawyers people like Mark Elias for example you know who's going around and um you know suing states because they want to remove fraudulent voters from the voter rolls things like this uh the Department of Justice that's involved with that I don't know maybe maybe Mark Elias isn't involved but he's one of their chief he's one of the Democrats chief lawfare lawyers.

I know he's involved in a lot of this uh these these lawsuits and things have been brought against various states in order to prevent them from enforcing election integrity. They cannot afford free and fair elections.

They have a weak candidate in Kamala Harris and I think that Trump would would hold people accountable. I hope he needs to hold people accountable. You know there are some people who uh who need to be punished for what they did in 2020.

There are people who need to be punished for what they did in 2016 and probably in 2022 as well the congressional election um oh yeah Paul Kerrigan says Democrats intend to steal the election. Yes um that is like the most obvious thing in the world.

Uh and yet you know there are there are a lot of people that that don't seem to want to say that you know they they want to look at polls and and in momentum and things like this and I have to say that it looks like Donald Trump seems to be have some momentum behind him.

Oh and part of that's just because Kamala's just so awful and she's obviously awful. But of course Biden was obviously awful in 2020 and he got the most votes of any president in the history of the United States.

I can't imagine how that happened. I'm sure that was was totally legitimate. You know those those vote spikes you know how they they shut down uh vote counting and in all of those those swing states simultaneously and somehow when things reopen well wow there are these there's this big spike in votes uh for uh for Joe Biden.

You probably saw some of those those graphs you know and it would show you know like like Donald Trump in the lead and and and uh and Joe Biden was behind him you know and the the graphs would would go up through the night as votes votes are counted.

Then all of a sudden the the vote for total for Joe Biden went boop you know that kind of kind of just popped up there all of a sudden you know I don't know I guess there were like you know hundreds like a uh pallet with a few hundred thousand uh votes or something fell off a truck in the middle of downtown Detroit at 3 a .m and they magically all were votes for Joe Biden.

Isn't that incredible. That's just amazing how that stuff works. Um yeah I mean the Democrats wouldn't do that. The party of rum rowing and Romanism and Rebellion they wouldn't do something like that.

Would they. Of course they would. Um that's just how these guys roll. And you know I I had a hard time for for the longest time I had a hard I had a hard time saying that I don't really want to say that you know I I feel almost a little bit guilty saying that because I'm like well you know these are my fellow Americans.

And you know maybe I'm biased maybe I'm yeah and after watching some of these shenanigans the last year it's like no I mean this is this is just it's just ridiculous. They don't even really try to hide it.

And that's that's one of the other things that that I find remarkable about is how little they actually try try to hide the whole thing. Um so yeah yeah they're going to try to try to steal the election.

This is what Paul Kegg Roberts writes. He says the notion of we're going to have a free election in November is a fantasy. Now this is from October 7th. So this is just uh what I guess a little bit over a week ago the notion we're going to have a free election in November is a fantasy.

The Democrats intend to steal the election they have. They have openly made it completely obvious. The Democrats have made it impossible to have a valid election in the United States. Elon Musk is correct to say that if the election is stolen from Trump there will never again be an election.

The agenda of the Democrat party is one party rule. If the Democrats do not steal the election or do not uh do not intend to steal the election. Why did California make it a felony to require an ID to vote.

Yeah so uh Gavin Newsom just signed into law uh fairly recently a uh a law that did they made it a felon to have any kind of ID on a you know on the local level in uh in uh in California not allowed any voter ID got to have ID to do all kinds of things but not to vote now why would that be.

Why would that be. Uh it's just amazing that uh that that would be be an issue. I mean could it possibly be that they're going to steal the election. I mean you know that's the most obvious the most logical thing to believe is the reason they don't want this stuff because they're going to cheat like crazy.

I'm going to steal it like crazy as Earl Mazza said and we're going to we're going to take a look at his quote in the in a moment but he was talking about the 1960 election. Of course they're going to do it again.

That's who these guys are. You know it's like it's like asking you does a duck quack or does a dog bark. Well of course a duck quacks and dogs bark. Because that's what they do. And you know Democrats steal elections.

That's just what they do. It's how they roll. They're the party of rum Romanism and rebellion. And you know that's that's you know all that stuff. My theory on this and I think I've said this before but I'm going to say it again here is that the the contemporary Democrat party is just basically the old uh Tammany Hall political machine in New York City.

It's just that old thing that old 19th century fraudulent political machine run by the Roman Catholic Church. It's just scaled up to a national level. That's all it is. I mean essentially you're running against Tammany Hall.

Uh in my opinion um you know Donald Trump's going up against Tammany Hall. And these guys are the world-class genius masters of of election fraud. That's this. That's the one thing that they're actually really good at is is election fraud.

Um as I said you know coming up with policies that actually help Americans not so much. But they're really good at election fraud. I mean these guys are the best. Um got a had a hat on a tip it to him.

Yeah you guys you guys are awesome. You are the best when it comes to election fraud hands down no question about it. Um so Paul Greg Roberts continues. He says the Democrats did not intend to steal the election.

Why did California make it a felony to require an ID to vote. Why did the Wisconsin Supreme Court overturn the ban on ballot drop boxes. Yeah so so they banned drop boxes and then they got a bunch of Democrats on the the Wisconsin Supreme Court and they said oh we're going to overturn that.

We're we're going to we want to reinstate ballot drop boxes. Because nothing could possibly go wrong with that. You couldn't possibly use ballot drop boxes to to uh to uh steal an election. And I understand that there are some prohibitions.

Maybe I'm wrong about this but I thought I read somewhere there are prohibitions against monitoring these things. So you know people can just go out and stuff a billion um ballots you know. Or however many of the box you hold.

Maybe that maybe a billion ballots. That. But that might be a little much for for even a Democrat drop box. Um but uh but yeah they you're you're apparently not allowed to monitor them. I mean god forbid um that that someone should actually monitor uh a drop box out there in a street corner.

I cannot possibly imagine what could go wrong. Um with that. Um let's see here. He said. Yeah. Roberts continues. What Democrats have done in swing states is to legalize vote fraud. Yeah. Yeah. That's what they've done.

Uh some blue states have tried to make it illegal to challenge the vote count an issue that will have to be settled by the U .S. Supreme Court. Arizona is illegally withholding a list of the list of 218 ,000 plus registered voters who have not provided proof of citizenship as required by law.

Wow. I didn't. That's the first I I remember seeing that. Here's another one breaking and studying development absentee ballots being mailed to inactive voters in Wisconsin for presidential election. I'm sure that's completely by accident too.

Oops we didn't mean to do that. Uh here's a story on North Carolina voting roll corrupted. Another one that Robert cites. Governor Gretchen Gretchen Whitmer sends absentee voter applications to ineligible voters.

Again. I'm sure that was totally by accident. This is the honest mistake. I mean what could pot. And they I mean you don't think they'd actually try to cheat in Michigan. Come on. Yeah these guys are as honest as the day is long.

Here's another headline. Soros-backed organizations leverage waves of new immigrants to sway elections. NGOs non-governmental organizations are active in each swing state operating ballot mills registering illegal aliens and other migrants capturing their ballots and voting them.

Wow. Let's take a look at that one. That's that's kind of interesting here. So I guess there's the gateway pundit. Um let's see. Maybe that. Maybe that was a different one. Um okay. Yeah. So here we go.

Uh one citizen platform has found a way to catch fraudulent ballots and illegal voters before November 1st. Here's. Here's how they are doing it all right. So this week a group of citizens attorneys investigators writers former elected officials entrepreneurs unveiled a powerful technology platform to even up the fight with leftist NGOs stealing U .S. elections.

Their site stopbogusballots .com is an initiative of common sense elections a political action committee applying quantum speed technology innovative successful legal strategies top flight investigative talent to exposing mail ballots and nonsensical addresses before the votes get counted.

So I don't know that I don't know if that's I it sounds promising. I don't know if if that's something that's going to work or not. But let's uh let's pray that that does work. Um let's see. Here's a tweet this article talks about it says shocking election fraud researcher and former California lawmaker Steve Baldwin reveals that voter rolls and swing states are full of illegal voters and ghost names.

Migrant processing facilities also appear at some voters addresses. Oh that's there's nothing suspicious about that. Is there. Yeah um some some dude sneaks across the border and and he's got an address at a migrant processing facility.

I'm sure that that's totally legitimate. I mean what could possibly go wrong with that. Um let's click on this let's see what what else this thing has to say here. Um this is that same tweet. It continues.

Uh what we found is that some of the voter rolls and swing states are chock full of illegal aliens and other people who should not be on the voter roll. All these NGOs that are processed and even before they cross the border they're using the address of the processing center as the voter registration address.

Now all these NGOs processing them before they cross the border. Oh these are almost I I bet you that the overwhelming majority of these are Roman Catholic um organizations that are doing this. Yes I know you're probably shocked.

There's fraud fraud. I tell you in the Roman Catholic Church. Um yeah and I do laugh about this a little bit just just because these guys are just so amazing they they live down to their reputation. Uh whether you're talking about the Democrats in general or you're talking about the Roman Catholic Church that's just how these guys roll.

I mean here's here's the thing in that I've learned to use this as a rule of thumb however evil you think the Democrats are however corrupt you think the Roman Catholic Church is they're almost certainly worse.

Um because I there are many times I've found myself saying this you know it's like wow you know Steve maybe you're being too hard on these guys. Maybe maybe they're really not so bad. Maybe maybe you're just biased in this type of thing.

And then I'll read some outrageous article and I'm thinking you know not only are you guys as bad as I thought you were you're way worse than what I thought you were. Um so yeah these NGOs processing these is illegal aliens.

Uh I'm sure they're probably a good chunk of that's uh Roman Catholic. Maybe it's it's the our friends at the uh down there at the uh what is that. The Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley uh run by Sister Norma.

Sister Norma um down there in in Texas. Yeah she's a fine piece of work. Um has those are all the fine folks at Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley. I'm sure they're all Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts.

No question. Um so according to this guy's team and this is this fellow named Steve Baldwin the Georgia voter rolls have one thousand one hundred seventy nine thousand one hundred forty nine voters with incomplete addressing addresses missing apartment unit or suite number numbers.

114 ,817 voters use an invalid USPS address to register. Who knew 78 ,805 registered on a federal holiday. Wow how could that happen. 68 ,983 voters currently moved out of the state but still remain on the roll etc.

If these findings are even 10 accurate Republicans need to get to work fast. Um well they probably won't. Um I just I don't have a whole lot of faith in the Republican Party and their uh their desire or their competence to ferret out fraud.

Now what's interesting here in this particular article you know they talk about um you know fraudulent addresses and things like this and um let's see because there was something in here I thought was pretty interesting.

Um let's see. So anyway they it talks a little bit about this system that supposedly is able to go in and search databases and highlight people you know votes that they come from bogus addresses and things.

Well using bogus addresses. You know all that stuff where all these migrants are being registered at migrant processing facilities and such like I mean this is one of the old tactics uh of of these Democrat Roman Catholic run political machines.

And this is an article that I found and this is what I had had mentioned earlier in this podcast. Um it's an article it's called another race to the finish and this was published back in 2000. And of course in 2000 there was that was that uh the all hanging Chad thing that was uh George W. Bush and uh and uh what's his name.

You know the guy that Al Gore. Yeah the guy that invented the internet. Yeah that guy. Um but it's called another race to the finish. 1960s election was close but Nixon didn't haggle. Um so let's see here.

Um I'm just gonna skim down here says Americans will probably never know for certain if the Democrats stole the election 1960 but Earl Mazzo is pretty sure they did. Quote. There's no question in my mind it was stolen end quote.

He says quote. It was stolen like mad. It was stolen in Chicago and in Texas. End quote. Listen the article continues back in 1960. Mazzo now 81 was a Washington-based national political correspondent for the New York Herald Tribune.

After the election he kept getting calls from reporter friends in Chicago who told him wild stories of election fraud there quote. They were in effect chastising me end quote. He recalls quote. Saying you national reporters you're missing the story.

Why don't you come out and look end quote. So Mazzo went out and looked. He went to Chicago obtained lists of voters in precincts that seemed suspicious and started checking their addresses quote. There was a cemetery where the names of the tombstones were registered and voted end quote.

He recalls quote. I remember a house it was completely gutted. There was nobody there but there were 56 votes for Kennedy in that house end quote. At the urging of Chicago Democrats Mazzo went to Republican areas downstate and looked for fraud.

There he found it quote. In downstate Illinois there was definitely fraud. He says the Republicans were having a good time too but he didn't have the votes to counterbalance Chicago. There was no purity on either side except that the Republicans didn't have Daley in their corner or Lyndon Johnson.

End quote. After investigating Illinois Mazzo headed for Texas where he documented similar electoral shenanigans with visions of a Pulitzer Prize dancing in his head as he began writing what he and his editors envisioned as a 12-part series on election fraud but mid-December he had published four parts and they had been reprinted in papers across the country including the Washington Post.

Then Mazzo got a call from Nixon. Mazzo knew the vice president. He interviewed Nixon extensively for a biography he had published in 1959. Now Nixon asked Mazzo to come to his office in the Capitol. When Mazzo arrived the two men chatted for a while and Nixon asked Mazzo to stop writing his series.

He told Mazzo the country couldn't afford a constitutional crisis at the heart of the Cold War. Quote. I thought he was kidding but he was serious. End quote. Mazzo recalls. Quote. I looked at him and thought he's that.

Well I'm gonna I'm gonna edit that one out there. Uh want to keep this g-rated and uh let's see. So uh failing to convince Mazzo Nixon called the reporters bosses at the Herald Tribune. Quote. He implored them to stop running the thing Mazzo recalls.

Apparently the vice president was convincing Mazzo's editors pulled him off the story. Quote. Nobody told me why. End quote. He says. Quote. I know he was terribly disappointed. I envisioned the prologue surprise end quote.

So so there you have it. You know you have this Earl Mazzo. He's talking about all the the fraudulent addresses. And and the daily machine. You know the well the daily machine now is also another Roman Catholic big city political machine a lot like Tammany Hall and you know you had you know back in the 19th century you had Tammany Hall.

You had the deal. I don't know if the daily machine went back to the 19th century now but it was something very similar. You had the uh the curling machine in Boston. Uh you had all these big city Roman Catholic run political machines.

They're all democrat they're all corrupt as could be and uh and and and that was that was that's just how they rolled. You know I mean it just you know did election fraud. So I mean there's a lot of uh a lot of precedent for that.

And here's another quote that I I've used this before but I'm going to use it again because I think it's really interesting. It's actually from a book uh or booklet maybe it was published in 1887. It's called Romanism and Politics Tammany Hall the stronghold of Rome is written by a a Protestant minister by the name of Joseph Hartwell and he spends uh it's only about 30 pages so I can say it's not a big book and it's actually really hard to find this thing.

I I I did some sleuthing I I found out about this book is really interesting. I I found out about this I I was reading a a an article um I think it was an article was written by uh Ann Coulter um talking about election fraud and the like and she was talking about this book called Machine Maid so I went out and I got the book Machine Maid and I read through some of that and when I was reading through it they referenced this book by this uh Joseph Hartwell and I couldn't find it anywhere.

I went to Google Books and I looked there and and I think there was a reference to it but there was no scanned image of it and it it mentioned if you know if like you click on that on Google Books is a place you can click on it says find in a library and I think it referenced Columbia University and Cornell University and after doing some sleuthing and the like I was finally able to get in contact with somebody at Cornell University and they scanned this thing for me so I got this scan this is actually from from a copy at at Cornell University um this uh this uh a little booklet called Romanism and Politics.

This thing is really hard to find and I'm glad that I found it because there's a really uh to me what I would call the money quote in this book is on page nine and this is what again this is Joseph Hartwell he's he's a Protestant minister and he he wrote this he said Tammany Hall is simply the political organization of the Roman Catholic Church with the Bishop Hughes or Cardinal McCloskey or Archbishop Corrigan at its head and a Fernando Wood a William Tweed or John Kelly for his Fugleman now the word Fugleman that's kind of an a maybe that's an archaic term.

I looked it up it it basically means mouthpiece. So you know you you had you had Tammany Hall headed up by these you know these bishops and cardinals and archbishops but they use somebody publicly um to actually you know be the the the public face the front man for the organization and it mentioned William Tweed.

I guess that's the that famous guy he's sometimes known as Boss Tweed um he was pretty famous um fellow toward the end of the 19th century uh corrupt guy Tammany Hall guy. Okay so anyway so so you had this this Tammany Hall organization run by the Roman Catholic Church that uses these front men um as the the public face.

And then uh Hartwell continues and this was my my favorite line says the proper name for it that is he's referring to Tammany Hall. He says the proper name for it is Jesuit Hall. By this name it should be called by none other for name and nature should correspond so that when one is called the other should be understood and that would help guide both the mind and the action of the American people.

And in my contention is is is and I said this before the contemporary democrat party it's it's it's basically just a scaled-up version of Tammany Hall and some of other big city political organizations.

Uh the the democrat party I mean it's the principal vector. It's the principal means by which political Romanism has been injected into the American body politic. And and this is how this stuff really uh really began back in the 19th century.

Um and then let's let's continue on a little bit here with Hartwell this is this is pretty interesting. He says the object of this organization again this is referring to Tammany Hall. The object of this organization has been and is to put money in power power and money into the Roman church or the papal conspiracy as Dr. Edward Beecher persistently calls it it would not have been looked what it would not have looked well for the high prelates and priests of Rome to stand before the American people where they could see them doing the work which bosses Tweed and Kelly did after Tweed died in prison.

Someone was needed to take his place. And we are informed that Cardinal McCloskey helped and encouraged John Kelly in the work which he did. But would so high an official of the pope stoop to such an act.

No if we are to judge from the ridiculous eulogies recently bestowed upon him by our papers. But his paper the freeman's journal is quoted as saying of our common school system. It should go back to the place where it came from hell.

He doubtless would have been pleased to have the people of the United States as ignorant as those in the Roman Roman Catholic church where over 80 percent of the people cannot read their own language.

In which case the priest could crane over people here as they do there. It is one of his papers also that said the burning alive of heretics in olden times was a godly practice. Much of the misfortune of the church in this age is due to the abolition of that practice.
