A Republican Cay. Absentminded Answer to a Constitutional Idea

A Chicago Herald commentary argues Blaine lost the presidency not by southern suppression but by reduced northern support.

It frames the election as a voluntary suppression of Blaine votes.

A juried sample of 19th century political rhetoric contrasts Republican defenses with claims of disenfranchisement and corruption.
