"Another issue. All through the
country you are informed the force bill
is not an issue in the campaign. wish
it was not, but in very truth the force
bill, with all it means, is abroad in the
land. 1t is simply coiled and ready to
strike. Why. if it is dead, did the Min
neapolis convention adopt the resolution
it did relating to it? Why do all the
speakers and papers of the Republican
party insist on an explanation OF Its
terms?
1T means the undoing of all that has
been done in a generation to weld a
nation together. 1t means the making
of aliens of half the inhabitants in eleven
states. 1t means the undOing of the re-
turn to the methods of peace and the
methods of self-government. If there
were no other reason why the Demo-
cratic ticket should be elected this year
their position on the force bill should
win you to their support. That bill
means a return to the horrors and the
terrors of the time when this nation, just
coming up from the red sea of a civil
war, crept trembling to peace.
''We are a great nation. We are the
greatest nation. 1t would be a great

a pity if we must say to our guests:
we have had to appoint our supervisors

American election
''You are Chautauquans. You are
followers of that Christ whose church

urge you to give Endorsement to those

pense of the many, nor that armed forces

A Strong Candidate /.

The democrats of the Twenty first sen
atorial district made an excellent choice
when they nominated ]. q. Mulligan OF
Kewsnee for the legislature yesterday
The Kewanee Star has the following BIZ
ography Of the nominee:
He has always been most closely iden
tical with the people. Born and reared
on Q farm. he understands the needs oil
the farmer and would be found favoring
all legislation in any way helpful TO the
farmer. He received High school edu-
c ton in this state and then began work
at grading on the railroad. BY hard
work ard faithfulness in every detail of
his work he has worked up from grad
ing to switchman. FROM switchman to
operator and from operator to station
agent, which position he has held IN
Kewsnee for the last seven years. Be
ing hard laboring man himself he is
distinctly the laboring mans candidate,
and it is the laboring men of Henry
county that are putting him forward.
That Mr.. Mulligsn deserves the honor
is universally conceded. For the last
two years he has been a most efficient
member of the township central commit
Tee and county central committee. As a
shrewd and far seeing political manager
he has few equals. The democratic vic
tories in Kewanee last year and this are
due more to his management and hard
work than to any other cause. de has
worked most arduously for his party and
for his friends, never asking or even ex-
pecting reward, many times refusing
honors, when accepting them he would
deprive friend of honor. He has al
ways looked for some one else's interest
and If elected would look most closely
after the interests of the people. Mr.
Mulligap is we'll read on current events Of
the day and has positive views on all the
great questions before the American peo-
pie. He is tariff reformer but not a
free trader. He is a man of the people.
He has great power with men because
he thoroughly understands them His
ability TO successfully carry any measure
that he advocates is something wonder
full. He is fertile in resources. When
his mind is once made up that measure
Is right he leaves no stone unturned to
have that measure adopted. He knows
no such word as fail. II elected. which
he will surely be. he will
soon be as we'll and favor-
ably known to the people of this great
state as he is to the people OF Henry
county. He will be known for his faith
fulness to every duty; he will be known
a. the advocate of all wise legislation in
the interests of the people; he will be
known for his opposition to any exsrava-
CANT or unwise measures. He will make
m enviable reputation as q wise, conser-
vative legislator. a shrewd, sagacious
politician.
He is q man that will receive the sup
port of every democrat in the district.
He is the very idol Of the democracy in
this end of the county. Whatever Mr..
Aulligan says has great weight with the
democratic. He has the full confidence
of his party. They know that he cons
siders office a public trust to be sacredly
kept. or all men for this position Mr..
Aulligsn is the man.

The state Outside of Cook.

Republican politicians and newSpa-
pers continue to claim that the state out
side of Chic ago is as safely Republican
as ever, and that the only danger of
Democratic success lies in the possibility
of an increased Democratic vote in Cook
county The fact is the state outside of
Chicago promises to do it's full share of
the work that will produce a Democrat
ic victory this year. In 1890 the vote of
the state outside of Cook county showed
the following Democratic lluralities:
For State Treasurer, 3.0S7.
For State Superintendent of Schools,
1891
For Trustees State University, 10,C00.
Members of Congress, 20.1il.
Taking the vote for trustees of the
state university which Is the finest one
on which to base our calculations We.
find that the plurality came Who'll ; from
the state outside of Cook COUNT. au,
taking the vote on any of the c.sm.ii.ia-ps
in the state there is not much co.H-o1
for the Republicans. OF course they
claim that these Democr..iic f,I1r
alities are due to the Republican,
having failed to vote and point TO The
fact that no Democratic candidate a.
1890 received SO large vote as was cast
for Cleveland in 1888, when Harrison
carried the state by over 10000. 1t is
undoubtedly true that the Democrats
turned out at the polls better in 1890 than
did the Republicans, but that they poiled
anything like their full vote is a ridicu-
Ious assertion. The fact is in close coun-
ties, close senatorial districts and close
congressional districts both parties polled
q pretty full vote, while in the localities
regarded as hopeless, one way or the
other, a small vote was cast by both
parties, and here is where the shortage
came in.
We find in "a counties in all of which
there was a fight, that the candidates for
trustees of the university and all other
Democratic candidates received more
votes in the off year election of 1890 than
Grover Cleveland received in 1888. The
Democratic increase in these "a counties
on the trustees aggregated nearly 1000,
and indicates a positive increase in
Democratic sentiment, for an examina-
ton of the returns in each case shows
that the Democratic gain is accounted
for by a Republican loss. The fact is,
had there been fight all along the line
in 1890 as there was in the close districts
and counties where a full vote was
polled, the Democratic gain and Repub-
Gcan loss would have been fully 12 900
votes in the state outside of Cook coun-
ty. The man is yet to be heard of who
having voted or sympathized with the
Democrats in 1890 is willing to go back
to the Republicans this year, and there
is little doubt of the Democrats having
plurality in the state outside of Cook
county, if they get their full vote to the
polls. We fail to see where the Repub-
icans can get any comfort out of the
situation in the rural districts. If what
they say of Chicago is true, Illinois will
go Democratic by 10000.

Base Ball Extraordinary.

Last Sunday afternoon the Winslow base ball team crossed bats with our local nine, and were polished off for a score of 3S to II in favor of Flagstaff. The local nine, with the exception of two or three eccentric plays made by players who probably imagined for the moment that they were rehearsing Nevada" put up strong game of ball, and the way they batted was evil dently painful surprise to the Wins low team. While the SUN has nothing but praise for the playing of the whole local team, special mention should be made of a splendid running catch by Bert Davis in left field, the scientific covering of first base by Clarence Spellmire, the sharp work on second by D. Hennessey, while the base runn- ing of Mike Hennessey would make a jack rabbit double up with envious collie. The Winslow team also played faithful ball until the end of the sev- enth, when they concluded that the game was hopeless, which conviction had settled on the spectators some time previous.

Through the courtesy of Dr. J. M. Marshall, manager of the Baseball Dramatic Club, a SUN reporter was permitted to witness a rehearsal of the drama, Nevada at Powell's hall on Tuesday evening last. The play is given in four acts, and in addition to being intensely interesting throughout, abounds in dramatic situations of a most thrilling and sensational character, increasing as the plan develops, until in the final scene, through succession of startling changes and in situation of intense dramatic power, the central figure of the play realizes the dream of his life in the recovery of the long lost gold mine, the redemption of his broken fortune aud the restoration of his daughter. This sequence of bless ings recalls to Nevada" his reason, of which lie has been for years bereft, and restores the equilibrium which marks the finale of every drama in a marrying and giving in marriage.
 It would require too much space to give anything more than brief synop- sis of the play, and in attempting de- tailed description the inexperience of the writer as dramatic critic might serve to give the public an unjust con ception of its merits.
 D. Hennessey appears as Nevada, " and his rendition of the crazy vagaries of lunatic is so vivid that a nervous person would almost be prompted to call the police. His acting has the ring of true dramatic instinct. Mike Hcnnessey, as "Vermont," exhibits an easy adaptability to the character of a miner, and he takes his part as grace fully as he would make q 20-foot slide to second base. Tom Carew," as impersonatcd by Clarence Spcllmire, completely transforms handsome young hardware clerk into hardy but refined miner, of that type which has long been the pride and backbone of the west. His acting is like his ball playing. Every one who has seen Clarence adorn diamond will under. stand by this how he coruscates on a stage. Dandy Dick" the partner oi Tom Carew, is represented in dashina style by Dr. J. NJ. Marshall, who com. pines with the picturesque ensemble oi miner the appearance of man newly clad in one of Derr & Elliott's suits and a new set of store teeth. He presents a life-like portrayal of his part, and his expression in the scene where he i: arrested is as natural as that of a mar

just submitting an over-ripe jaw tooth to the numerically merciless forceps. If the audience survives the ridiculous performance of "Silas Steele" as ex- pounded by Charles Canall, it will be because that talented young electrician does not turn loose all the comicality with which his nature is endowed. Charlie's laughter-provoking faculty seems to have descended to him in a pure strain from the old masters, and the vocation of Silas Steele affords his peculiar genius full play. Bert Davis sizes up the department of "Jerden, '" the detective, with the same certainty that he pulls down long fly in left field. In the last inning he gets caught between bases, and being cut of from third, makes slide for home, but runs out of line and is bounced from the game for foul play. J. Doran, as "Jube," the darkey, and A. Allaster, as Twin Kye," Chinaman, enliven the play by the sprightly interpreta- ton of their parts, often relieving a situation which has aroused the audi ence to painful apprehension by the timely infusion of mirth-provoking passage.
 The writer refrains, for prudential reasons, from dissertation on the merits of Mrs. A. T. Cornish as "Mother Merton," Miss Annie Ross as "Agnes Fairlee," and Mrs. John Clark as ..Mosclle,n the waif.
