It is the democratic idea that they have a right to practice fraud and the Government shall not put its hand on the man guilty of fraud. that if it is not done by the State. it shall not be done at all. I say that the party that holds to such doctrine is a party that has been connected with every great fraud upon the ballot that has ever occurred and gone into history in this country without a solitary exception. Beginning with the Calhoun candlebox frauds in Kansas. the fraudulent naturalization in New York City. the stuffing of ballotboxes in the South. and the murder of citizens to control the ballot. they have always been in the hands of this democratic party. When they come here and tell me that they are now all at once the champions of a free ballot. I know better.
