The Force Bill Party Unmaslks.

Five days before election the old party
OF Force and Fraud. OF tayonets and iron
cages, throws away it's mask and shows its
face as we have known that same ugly face
for years and years.
To all appearances the Republican man
ayers have determined to provoke if posi-
bic Il conflict in this town between the rep
| rcscntatv2s Of State law and the deputies,
| spies. and DULLES employed by JOHN l.
| DAVENPORT for the dirty work OF Federal
Interference. The first threat comes from
the Nen IorE Tribune, q newspaper
which for months has persistently
declined TO discuss the Force bill issue
in any aspect or TO admit that such an
! issue exists. Three days ago the editor of
the Tribune now the Republican candidate
for Vice President, denied upon the stump
that there was any Force bill. or any force
in such legislation "a the Republican party
| contcmplntcs for the control OF elections.
There is no such thing" said Mr. WHITE
LAW REID At Itha"a. and there never has
been" No force behind DAVENPORT. only n
pntcrnal. brneiiccnt system OF general
supervision from Washington!
Yesterday the Tribune notified the cleo
ton officers Of New York that DAvENPoRT's
authority is paramount in this city. 1t
told them that the suppression OF any OF
pAvENroET'S characteristics enterprises, or
the arrest Of ans Il DAvENPoHr'j hirclings
for violation OF Ne" Works. election laws.
would constitute rebellion against tho
United States Government. 1t warned
them that under the existing statutes and
the partisan decisions OF tho Supreme
Lao
right to use physical force in any part OF
the United states to carry into execution
the powers conferred upon it,"
Physical force? That is TO say. bayonets
AT DAvENroEr'S beck. bullets sped into citi-
Hrns' breasts at his command.
That there may be no doubt in any mind
as to what it is that Mr.. WnITELAw REIp's
newspaper threatens, VIC quote from the
1riImr's editorial article of yesterday:
