The Republicans intend making
the Infamous Force Bill an issue in
the pending Presidential contest
aud should they succeed in the
election of their nominee for Presi-
dent and majority of the members
of the House of Representatives the
ballot box in every State of the
South will be placed under the con-
troll of Federal bayonets. In view
of such an appalling danger and
palpable violation of the Constitu-
tion of the United States, is it not
insanity, aye a crime, for any Dem
ocrat in this country, and especially
in this section, to say that he will
not support the nominee of the
Chicago Convention, no matter who
he is? The only hope for killing
forever this miserable schcme for
Republican domination" is Demo-
cratic victory in Novmber. Fore
warned is forearmed. Hear the
Philadelphia Press, stalgart Re.
publican paper:
"The Democrats doubtless imag-
ined that the Republicans would
abandon this issue Cthe Force bilD
when the Elections bill was defeated
in 1891 through the treacbery of a
few Republican Senators. They
never made worse miscalculatior
in their lives. The Republican
party will never abandon thii
question so long as it remains true
to its principles"

Let harmony and unity prevail
in the ranks, and the Democratic
party will triumph in the great
contest of 1892. Let no mans per-
sonal ambition stand in the way.
Individuality in the Democratic
party is one and the same. Every
Democrat stands upon absolute
equality The triumph of no one
man is essential to the party, while
the success of the party is the one
thing essential to every Democrat.
Give us victory and let individual
members of the party take his place
in the ranks and be content with
the position assigned. Victory
should be the watchword of every
true Democrat from now until the
contest is National Democrat.

HILLS SHREWD PLAN
To Spring a Snap Convention in
February,

ALBANY, Jan. 21.-The determined effort
which ex-Gov. Hill is making to capture
the State convention is causing no end of
excitement in Democratic circles. His
scheme to spring a snap convention on
the Goth Of next month staggers the anti
Hill Democrats by its unparalleled audacity.
AS matters are shaping themselves now
in the state legislature Hills chances i'm
the Democratic state convention, regularly
organized, will be nil. To guard against
this, Hill has decided to call u snap con
vention, so as to shut off the primaries
and enable the state committee, which is
practically "a Hill body, to pack the CON
vention.
With primaries held i'm February IL
would be impossible to get anything like
n fair vote at the primary elections even
in the city, and in the country districts
there would be no primaries. Hills
plans have been perfected so quietly that
unless Tammany Hall takes a stand
against the project, it will be carried
through, and Hill will be literally ram
med down the throats Of the New York
Democrats

Committee.

ALBANY, Jan. 21.-The three Republi-
can Senators who were in contempt be-
cause they refused TO vote on the new cen
sus bill made such vigorous defence that
the Democratic majority of the judiciary
committee yesterday brought in a short
report, outlining briefly the arguments of
the Senators before the committee. and
stating that, in their judgment, no
one of them intended TO put himself in
contempt. The report ended with the res
olution to the effect that the suspension Of
Of the Senator'S should remain in opera
tion until Thursday morning, when it
will be removed.
As the senator's have made no apology
for their course, the action of the COM
mittee in reinstating them is really a back
down from the opinion that il asserted ON
Thursday last. AT that time there were
certain members of the committee who
were In favor of jailing the sena-
tors, but as time went on they
became much less savage in their
demands until they have finally allowed
the Senator'S To come back without eXpla-
nation or apology. The only Republican
left with the committee after the three
Senators were disfranchised was allowed
to make a minority report, and he will do
so tomorrow. IL is understood that this
report will be "A long one, covering the
points that were made by the three Sena-
tors in their arguments before the COM
mittee.
The object of the minority report is to

made by the committee to-day. The Re
