"I give notice now that I shall con
tinue to press my Force bill, and I
intend to pass it before I die, too. I
shall pass the Force bill yet you see
if I don't." fohn I. ' Davenport,
United States Supervisor of elections
in New York City, and author of the
Lodge Force bill"
"1 believe my Democratic friends
say that there is a Force bill issue in
this campaign. I don't think there is,
but I think there ought to be.
This is the most important question in
this campaign, and I would a good
deal rather have negro domination in
the South than the domination that
prevails there at the present time."
Ex-Senator John J. Ingalls, of Kan
sas, in a speeeh at Topeka, Oct. 9,
1892.
Brayef Shepard rises to remark in
the New York Mail and Express,
that since the days of reconstruction
the Republican party has had no
great popular issue to be compared
with the Force bill, and the New Haven
Palladium, Republican, declares that
if Mr. Harrison is re-elected there is
no doubt that the most earnest effort
of his administration will be given to
securing the passage of a Force bill,
similar to that which passed the House
ot the 51st Congress. And yet there
are some men down in this country
who pretend to believe that the Force
bill is not an issue in this campaign,
and that there is nothing in it. Wil
