Archibald Henry Grimké: “Love was in their mouths and love was in their hearts.”

That colored men with the ballot should be rated in terms of the political game higher than other colored men who have it not, violates no rule of business ethics.

Such a proposition, the Republican Party is incapable of making for reasons already pointed out, and the Democratic Party for other and obvious reasons is precluded from offering.

There must be added to them this something else, this one thing needful to render them effective to save the blacks from the evil consequences of their race ignorance, and the whites from the evil consequences of their race prejudice.

Not at all, for they are most important, but without the ballot they are impotent to give the relief so much needed in the South.
