chase another lease of the presidency,
and another majority in congress aud
ultimately take permanent possession

the partisan force bill designed by
corrupt and unscrupulous conspirators

alton, more frugal expenditures and
purer government which can be ac-
complished only by the election OF
Cleveland and Stevenson.
