Montgomery tells McMaster that if he concurs in the general opinion that Senator Ingall's attack on Montgomery of March 2 1886 was an outburst of Anti-Catholic bigotry directed against all Catholics, and McMaster so believing, will publish a strong article saying that thinking Catholics so regard the matter, he would aid in turning the tide against the bigots and securing Montgomery's confirmation. Montgomery regards the office of slight consequence in comparison with the work of repelling the attack. If McMaster does write on the matter, Montgomery would like a half dozen copies of the paper to distribute among the Senators to show the Catholic opinion on the matter. He is writing this letter at the request of one Catholic Senator who thinks an article from McMaster would do much good. :: I-2-f A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
