EQUAL RIGHTS OF CITIZENSHIP
The central idea of a republican
form of government' is the rule of the
whole people as apposed to other forms
which rest upon a privileged class. Our
forefathers, in the attempt to erect a
new government which might repre
sent the advanced thought of the world
at that period, upon the subject of
governmental reform adopted the idea
of the people's sovereignty, and thus
laid the basis of our present republic.
While technically a eovernment of the
people, it was in strictness only a gov
ernment of a portion of the people, ex
cluding from all participation a certain
other portion held in a condition of ab
solute despotic and hopeless servitude,
the parallel to which fortunately does
not now exist in any modern christian
nation. With the culmination, how-
ever, 01 anotner circle aavanceu
throughout the American republic sud
denly assumed the character of a gov
ernment of the whole, and four million
human creatnrcs emerged from the
condition of bondsmen to the full
status of freemen, theoretically invest
ed with the same civil and political
rights possessed by their masters. The
subsequent legislation which is guar
anteed by every legal title of citizen
ship and full equality before the law
in all its respects in all respects of this
previousl v disfranchised people, amply
covers the requirements and secures to
them so far as legislation can privilege
American citizenship. But the disa
greeable fact is that while theoretically
we are iu the enjoyment of a govern-1
mental of the whole people practically
we are almost aa far from it as we were
in the ante bellum days of the rppulic.
There are but a few leading and in
disputable facts which cover the whole
statement of facts. In many southern
states the colored people are republi
cans, as are also a considerable portion
of the white people. The remaining
dortion of the latter are democrats. In
the face of this incontestable truth
these states invariably return demo
cratic majorities. In other states of
the eouth the colored people, although
not a uinjo-rity, form a very considera
ble body of the population, and with
the white republicans are numerically
inexces of the democrats. Yet pre
cisely the same political result obtains,
the democratic party invariably carry
ing the elections. It ii not even
thought advisable to all occasional
or unimp' rtatit election to be carried
by the republicans ss a '-blind," or as a
streak f fiue.-sc Careful and impar
tial iuvfHtig-ition h;w shown these re
sults to loilow t ic systematic exercise
of phy&ica! inMniMatioti aud violence,
coi;joiiud with the most shuuieful de
vices ever pr M'ticcil in the name of
free institutions, .o coulhud lias this
result become tht we are brought face
to facj with the extraordinary political
fact that the democratic party of the
south relk's Rlmost entirely upon meth
ods staled for success in national elec
tions. This unlawful perversion of
popul.tr franchise, which I desire to
slate iru passionately and in a manner
comporting with the proper dignity of
the occasion, is one of deep gravity in
a double s-ense to the American people.
First, it is in violation, open, direct
and Uar:iiit, ot the primary principle
upon w!ii l: our government is mp
posed to rest, viz: that the central
.government is participate! in by nil le
gally qualified citizeue, i;i accoidai.ee
with ll.e pl-:i i f popular go eminent,
and dint inajorUie mut rule ia the
decision of all questions.
Second, it is in violation of the rights
and interests of the state,, wherein are
particularly centered the great wealth
and industries of the nation, and which
pay au overwhelming portion of the
national taxes. The immense aggrega
tion of iuterc?tt embraced within, and
the enormously greater population of
these other states of the union, are
subjected every four years to the dan
gers of a wholly fraudulent show of
numerical strength. Under this sys
tem our minorities actually attempt to
direct the cause of national affairs, and
though up to this time success hag not
attended 1 In ir ciTurls to elect a prcsi-idc-nt,
yet pjjecess has been &o perilously
imminent as to encourage a repetition
of the effort at each quadrenuial elec
tion, aud subject n overwhelming
majority of our people north and south,
to the hazards of illegal subversion.
The stereotyped argument in refuta
tion of these plain truths is that if the
republican element was really in the
majority they could not be deprived of
their rights and privileges by the mi
nority. But neither the statistics of j
population nor unavoidable logic of
the situation can be overriden. The j
colored people of the south have re-j
cently emerged from bondage. Their
present, political oppression. They
have had hut few advantages of educa
tion which might enable them to com
pete with the whites. As I have there
fore maintained, in order to achieve
the ideal of perfection oe popular gov
ernment, it is absolutely necessary that
the masses should be educated. This
provision applies itself with full force
to the colored people of the 6outb.
They must have better educational ad
vantages, and thus be enabled to be
come the intellectual peers of their
white brethren as many of them un
doubtedly, already are. A liberal school
system should be provided for the ris
ing generation of the south, and col -ored
men be made as capable of exe
cuting the duties of electors as the
white people. In the meantime it is
the duty of the national government, to
go beyond the resolutions and declara
tions on the subject, and to take 6uch
action as may be in its power to secure
absolute freedom of national elections
everywhere, to the end that our con
gress may cease to contain members
representing fictitious majorities of
their people, thus misdirectiug the
popular will concerning natioual leg
islation, and especially to the end
that in prebideutial coutests the great
busiueas and other interests of the
country may not be placed in fear and
trembling lest an unscrupulous minor
ity &hould sncceed in stifling the wish
es of the majority. In accordance with
the spirit of the last resolution of the
Chicago platform, measures should be
taken at once to remedy this iirest evil
