Archibald Henry Grimké: “But he was an object of suspicion, and that was enough to justify the act of his murderers.”

And yet if relief is ever to come to the Negro in the South, it must come to him by the way of an opposition party, which will put an end to the political solidity of that section by introducing into it bi-party in place of its one-party…

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.

White and black party following with white leadership is therefore the only feasible proposition, which stands any show of success as a party of opposition in that section under existing conditions.

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.
