Democrats Give Their Views
Springer said that 5, SOC, 900 people in the
state OF Illinois were more interested in
the success of the Worlds fair than in all
the force bills that had ever been drawn
he appealed to the big Three" to sup
port the resolution, saying that their in-
huence at this time would do much to kill

Colored Orators Remarks
Morris, the colored representative from
Cook county, made a speech against tie
resolution. He said that if Alabama and
other states that had once gone out OF the
union proposed to keep out of the Worlds
fair unless the people of the north sacrificed
their loyalty TO liberty and right he was in
favor of letting them stay out prolonged
Republican cheers. "The Democrats say
he added, that the war issues are q cad.
til the Democratic party shall cease to be
opposed to the laws comforting upon all
persons, no matter what their creed or
color be, equal rights on election day
The Democratic party has been receiving
chastisement for twenty-five years and
hasn't yet learned anything"
Forcing the Senat oriai Fight.
Party lines have been SO closely drawn
that not one of the 204 members of the
legislature can get away from the capital
without the consent of the full steering
committee of his party. Several have
tried to go. but have been sternly ord cred
to stay, and without exception have
obeyed. This is because the Democrats
lnsist on going on with the senatorial bal
lots every legislative day They gained a
the point yesterday of taking numerous
ballots, with the aid of the Big Three" and
eight were taken in joint session. They
were all alike and all exactly what pre-
vious ballots had been.
