an,,I;ed TO the conduct OF the Federal Gov.
"lIITn,ont through the accession to power OF
tbn nsrty that advocates them; and we sol.
ar.,,Iv declare that the need Of q return to
tboso fi1ndameltsl principles Of free pop
',Ior Government based on home rule and
;ndividusl liberty was never more than now,
when the tendency TO oenTalze all power
Of The Federal Capital has becom" a menace

~ The very roots of or Government under
the Constitution as framed by the Republic.
as 70 THE FORCE BILL
Sec Q, We warn the people of our COM
mon country, jealous for the preservation Of
their free institutions, thatthe policy of Fed
oral control OF elections, TO which the Re-
,,,,b,ican party his committed itself, is
francbt with the gravest dangers, scarcely
iass nnomentous that would result from a
rovolution. practically establishing monar-
civ en- the ruins Of the Republic.

and INJURIES tn, colored citizens even more
tbon the whites. It means horde of dep
utv marshals st every polling place, armed
u,ifb Federal power, returning boards ap-
pointed and controlled by Federal author
itv. the outrage OF the electoral rights OF the
people in the several States, the subjugation
Of the colored people to tbe control of the
nary in power and tie reViving of race an.
taponlsm, now happily sbated, the utmost
paril to the safety and happiness of all;
measure deliberately and Justly described by
leading Republican Senator "as the most
infamous bill that ever crossed the thresh
did of the Senate" such policy, if sane
toned by law, would mean the dominance
of eH-perpetuating oligarchy of office
holders, and the party first entrusted wit
its machinery could be dlslodged from pow
er only by an appeal to the reserved righ
of the people to resist oppression which is
Inherent in all aolf-govUning communities.
Two wears ago this revolutionary power
was empbatically CONDEMNED by the people
at the polls; but in contempt of that verdict
the Republican party has dedantly declared
in its latest authoritative utterance that its
succe IN the coming election will mean
the enactment of the force bill and theusur-
patton Of desootlo control over elections ID
all the States.
Believing that the preser alton OF repu6-
lican government ID tle uhlteu otates Is
dependent upon tho daient of this policy Of
legalzed force and fraud, We invite the
support Of Il citizens who desire to see the
Constitution maintained IN It's integrity with
the laws pursuant thereto which have given
our country hundred years OF unexampled
prosperity; and WE pledge the Democratic
party, if IL be mt u ted with power, not
only to the defeat o. the torca bill, hut also
to resembles opposition to the Republican
policy Of prolil2hte expenditure, Which ID
the short space ot two airs has squandered
an enormous sutp u.s. ana emptle1 an over,
flowing treasury after piling new burdens OF
taxation upon the already oYertaxed labor
