A STANDING MENACE

A Force Bill Turks Behind the Repub-
Iican Candidate.
There is one question depending on
the election of the next president which,
in its momentous Importance and vital
imperativeness, must seem to every phil
osophic observer TO exceed every other
political question that the people are
now called upon to determine. All
differences of opinion respecting admin
istrative reform, or silver coinage. or
free trade or protection. or the personal
qualities or antecedents of candidates,
in short, the whole ordinary array Of
electoral controversies, are, In compari-
son, of inferior, indeed of almost trivial.
moment.
We mean the question whether those
southern states which have inherited a
negro population surprising the num-
Der of their white citizens shall, by
federal law and federal military force.
be subjected to the political Nominations
of the negroes, to negro legislatures,
negro governors and negro judges in
their courts, or whether they shall con-
tinue to be governed by white men as
now.
Now it makes no difference who may
be the president whom the Republican
party elects. That party is by its nature
and traditions under the necessity Of
enacting and executing an election law
whose purpose and effect will be to put
the negroes in control of several of the
southern states. There will be some
unwillingness on the part of patriotic
minority among the Republicans who
will revolt at the consequences of such
a measure, but their opposition cannot
avail. The necessity of the situation
will suppress all such resistance. A
force bill is the first, and the inevitable
result of sweeping Republican victory
in November.
On the other hand, and by the nature
and necessity of the ideas involved, the
success of the Democracy is death to
the force bill project. Killed in this
election, it can never be revived.
In this view of the contest, what con-
scientious Democrat can hesitate about
his duty? Better vote for the liberty
and the white government of the south
ern states rather than consent to the
election Of respectable Benjamin Harri.

AM Impregnable Candidate.

For the third time the Democracy Of
the nation summons Grover Cleveland
to lead 1t against the host of Republic
anism. The third time he is summoned
from private citizenship by the almost
unanimous voice of his party, with the
approval of hosts of Independents and
amid the applause of patriotic citizens
generally, whose interest in good gov
ernment and honest administration is
not hedged in by party lines. 1t was
the desire-aye, the demand-of his
party that the brave, courageous, hon.
est president who suffered defeat in the
first battle for the peoples cause should
lead them on in the final and decisive
battle, when promises of victory are SO
abundant. The forces that compel the
nomination of Cleveland will be potent
in the election. Grover Cleveland will
be chosen to the presidency by the larg-
est popular majority and by the largest
electoral vote ever given to any candi-
date.--Utica Observer.

The embodiment OF Democracy,

From the instant that Mr.. Cleveland
was declared its nominee by the chair
man of our national Democratic conven-
ton he ceased to be d private citizen and
became the representative and embodi-
ment of the success and the principles of
Democracy, SO it is our duty as Demo
Gratis to bury in the grave Of oblivion all
past differences, and with unanimity
Of purpose and in tinbroken ranks bear
onward and to victory the banner of our
party. The man who seeks to revive old
differences or attempts to create breach
in the Democratic ranks of this or any
other state is a traitor to his party and ar
enemy to his people. There are but two
parties known in the great contest now
upon us. Republicanism, as represented
in Benjamin Harrison, and Democracy
as represented in Grover Cleveland

The Force Bill President.

Benjamin Harrison will go down in
history Ns the force bill president.
After the Republicans had been
wrecked in the congressional campaign
of 1890, the one voice which called them
back to order was that of Harrison, with
the force bill as his theme.
Lamentable as the fact may be, the
issue of the presidential election of 1892,
forced upon US by Harrison's renomina-
ton, is the upheaval of the social fabric
of the south through the agency Of the
force bill,
The nominee of the Chicago conven-
ton must be Loyalty supported by every
Democrat. The south has too much at
stake for local chickering's to endanger.
The New York Democracy has always
been loyal, and in this hour of supreme
need it is called upon to remain loyal

we are defeated we are bound in honor
to do the same. The Democrats of New
York will do their full measure Of duty.
Believing as we do that the result Of
the presidential election will depend

Mr.. Murphy made a square, stand up

cheerfllly to the sentiment which over
rides that candidate along with all
other favorite sons. He is as strong and
single hearted in his devotion to Cleve-

nomination last week. Already word
has been given by Chairman Murphy to
his trusty friends and followers that in

Some writer's still use the French spell
ing, "Esquimaux," to designate the natives
of Greenland. "Eskimos" is the Danish
form of the word, and it has now almost
wholly superseded the older French spell
ing, and is undoubtedly preferable. None
of the natives, by the way, ever call them
selves Eskimos. The native name is In
mutt, and the name Eskimos, which was
applied to the arctic nomads without their
knowledge or consent, is the corruption of
a word which is found in nearly the same
form in at least two Indian languages OF
British America, and which means ''the
people who eat raw flesh. New York
