A collection of speeches in U.S. House of Representatives, June-July 1890, on the Federal Elections Bill sponsored by Massachusetts Senator Henry Cabot Lodge and derisively called a Force Bill by its Southern opponents. This bill was an attempt to establish Federal supervision over Congressional elections and was aimed primarily at Congressional districts in the South that had begun to deny African Americans the right to vote.
