How the Color Line Was Drawn.

Fro mthe New York Times.
After the suffrage was given to the
blacks. the true policy would have
been To divide the negro vote. Had
this end been sought or even permits ed.
the southern whites would ave pro-
vided all the safeguards required for
the exercise OF the suffrage and for the
protection of those who exercised II.
SO far from pursuing or allowing this,
the republican politicians hav per-
sistently sought to mas the black on
their side and force the drawing OF the
line Of color and race. And they nave
done his just as mercilessly since II
became clear that II would be rue to
the blacks as they did before.
