THE FORCE BILL
ut was the tariff bill which prevented
the force bill from passing the Senate al
this session. One Infamous measure wa.
used to put the other 70 sleep, but Its sleep
is only for a short time unless the people
rise up il their might next Tuesday and by
their votes prove 20 the party OF iniquity
that thew do not countenance its
Revolutionary legislation. If the result Is a
republican House then Reed and his men
will consider their actions Endorsed, and
will resurrect the infamous measure and
pass il In time for use In the presidential
and congressional contest OF 1892.
What difference does it make what
political party governs when 1t does so IN
constitutional manneri The Republican
party has trampled on every constitutional
right of the American people. and yet it has
the audacity 10 60 before the same people
aud solicit their suffrage as vindication OF
its outrageous course. The Democratic
party has always been the party OF consti-
Iutioual liberty, and will Continue 20 be as
long as il is in existence"
PLAIN TALK FOR LODGE.
Col. Lester then paid his compliments TO
the force bill, and showed up its Ubiquitous
and outrageous provisions in a manner
plain enough for even a child TO grasp.
s'H benever that measure becomes law"
said he, 'It will place free Americans in a
worse plight than ireland, and the peoples
right Of choice will be only a part Of the
past history of our glorious country. When
the general government undertakes TO reg
ulate the inalienable and private rights of
people it is line to tell those people that
they are no longer a portion Il the confed-
Grafton, aud they should have let us 60
when we started once before.
"Under this proposed force measure the
republican managers can do the counting,
certify the returns and make their own
congressman without any reference to who
the ueople have voted for. Fell iw-citiZsns,
il the solid democratic legion of Georgia
is to be broken and a republican sent to
congress, don't let il be from the grand old
First district Remember the old saying,
as goes Chatham so gees the state, and
don't falter in your duty now"
At the close Of Col. Testers speech the
applause was tremendous, and cheer after
cheer was given for him.
A. R. LAwToN, JR.'s. SPEECH.
A. r. Lawton, Jr.. ESQ.,. was the next
speaker, and ne started off by saying that
he was no political speaker, but when ne

citizens of Savannah voting the

sidered it his duty To say mething.
"How any respectable man." said Mr..

Col. George A Mercer was the next
peal er, d he was greeted with cheers.
He said in substance: Sol Lester is the
only representative sent to congress from
the First district for many years who
brought back any practical results. The Is
iues Of the present contest are momentous,
aud in fact are 70 decide the personal lib

measure, and overburdened the people I'M
necess arily."
