Scope and Contents 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.
