TIE FORCE BILL HAS no TEBBoRs.
The Third-p party organ to-day makes an
other savage attack on Cleveland, and Is
attempting TO array all Alliance men
against him. IL attacks Congressman >.
4. Alexander for saying that southern men
must support Cleveland and fight the
force bill. It SAYS: "Some are uneasy. or
appear 20 be. about the force bill. and try
20 create unnecessary alarm on that score.
II is sorry spectacle if the great issue
shall be, Who will count the votes The
indications are that II will take both old
parties four years at least 70 count the
People's-partv vote that will be cast this
tall. New England Democrats are the IN
stieators of the latest on the force bill.
Cleveland belongs 20 that crowd. The
South and West will settle his and Harm
sons foece-bi procllvities IN November.
INTERPRETATIONS
The South and West are standing solid
" agaIns. the force bill and its projectors,
while Cleveland and his gang OF Wall
street cut-throats are backing the force
bill crowd. The Northeastern Democrats,
Of which Cleveland is a fair sample, espe-
cially those in Congress- have threatened
the South with the passage OF the phi;
We have no fears about the force blll. but
between 1t and Cleveland there IS no dlt-
ference"
