The Democracy and the Negro Vote
Summary
The Herald says the Republican Party stands pledged "to equal rights to all men before the law." "The freedmen will not forget, however, that they are indebted for political privileges to the Republican Party alone." "The so-called Democratic Party would never have yielded political rights to the freedmen." Grant and Colfax are the best possible leaders of the country through "the dangers which now threaten it."
