with him worked the republicans whc,
rto himself are opposed to the force bill,
and senators Aldrich and Hiscock, as the
~noracars of the tariff bill. Senator Hoar
directed the force bill fight in connection
with Speaker Reed, whom he went over to
tho House to consult several times. Senator

USED EVERY LEVER.
Senators Hoar and Spooner used these
and the Tribune and Press editorials, in
spite Of the Tribune's innuendo that Sena-
tors Quay and Cameron got their seats IN
the Senate by improper means, and they
also employed Speaker Reeds threats that
tin plate, iron ore, steel rails and other
Peunsvlvania items in the tariff bill would
be cut by the House, and if necessary that
the whole tariff bill should be hung up.
Speaker Reed sent warning messages
and did all LIE could at the same time to
stir up the force bill spout in the House.
He missed the absent Henry Cabot Lodge
in this enterprise.
HARRIsoN's INFLUENCE.
President Harrison tried his best to stem
the tide Senator Quay had let loose by urg-
ing upon the senators and representatives
who called on him the necessity of redeem
the party and administration pledges by
passing the force bill. II the chairman of
the republican national committee could
Il have heard all the pretty little remarks
made about him by the President, the
speaker, the chairman Of the Senate cleo
4 tions committee and the other force bill
men he would have been deligh ed.
The threats, particularly the Reed
threats, were a mistake, however.
Like the editorials Of the uuinformed New
York Tribune and Press, they showed
ignorance of Senator Quay, and, also, of the
situation. The democrats sat back and
4 smiled with qualification at the way Senator
/ Quay led his party, leaders and all, out of
the force bill folly.
