The passage Of q Force bill would be ns
great a danger and disaster as the South
could fear for itself, and consequently 1t is
all important to the South that Demo-
cratic President should be elected this year.
Yet the Galveston Nelcs, with the true
Mugwumpian zeal to sacrifice every Demo-
cratic prospect to the twin Idols OF ChEvE.
LAND and free trade, is actually alarmed
lest the Democrats should make strong
protest against the Force bill and forget
CLEVELAND and his hobby:

this city an attempt to defeat the regular
Democratic organization was made by
combination Of Republicans. Mugwumps.
