It involves a question that goes deep into our political fabric--into the very marrow of what ought to be the governing authority in this country. into the problem whether men are to rule themselves and control the Government as men or whether our policy is to be based on a different theory. Does the republican partyon this floor desire to place itself upon the theory that men are not equal? That land and not men vote? Is that the doctrine? A State nndertakes to say by its law that a foreignborn. naturalized citizen is not the equal at the polls of a negro or an Americanborn citizen and discriminates against him and you refuse to learn the facts. Give us the data. Let us know how many of these citizens there are thus proscribed.
