And now one word about the so-called
"FOrce bill" Democratic newspapers have
persistently for months past spread through
their columns al sorts Of incendlary ap-
peals and bogus information in regard 70
this alleged Force bill There never has
been a Force bill which was indOrsed by
the Republican party, and the Information
furnished on tUat subject IS OF the same
character as the cable dispatches OF inter
views with Bismarck and imaginary dis
coveries in the geography Of Mars; Tne
issue is forced, fictitious and fraudulent.
The Republican party, however, believes

dents and secretaries was presented and
then Mr.. P'att introduced the next
Vice President Of the United States,
