Crranting— which I do not grant— that the present methods are as bad as those then applied, the fault lies in the char- acter of the vote. It is not educated to free action, and we must educate it to what it ought to be. Take the history of the race, as stated by Mr. Blaine himself, and is there not progress, astonishing progress, when the material with which we are dealing is considered? Force and fraud have been freely charged. Suppose it granted. Coiild anyone expect, did anyone expect, that... such a tremendous political and social change —the sudden clothing of 4, 000, 000 slaves with suffrage and with overruling political power— could be made without violent disturbance and disorder? Had any such change ever been made in any free State without convulsion? Was it to be expected that, when the capital and character of a State were placed at the mercy of a nu- merical majority of ignorant and poverty-stricken voters, it would present a model of peace and order? But all this while the ballot has been educating the negro.
