The sentiment that the constitutional rights of all our citizens
must be maintained does not grow weaker. It will continue to
control the Government of the country. Happily, the history of the
late election shows that in many parts of the country where
opposition to the fifteenth amendment has heretofore prevailed it
is diminishing, and is likely to cease altogether if firm and
well-considered action is taken by Congress. I trust the House of
Representatives and the Senate, which have the right to judge of
the elections, returns, and qualifications of their own members,
will see to it that every case of violation of the letter or spirit
of the fifteenth amendment is thoroughly investigated, and that no
benefit from such violation shall accrue to any person or party. It
will be the duty of the Executive, with sufficient appropriations
for the purpose, to prosecute unsparingly all who have been engaged
in depriving citizens of the rights guaranteed to them by the
Constitution.
