"I will cut off this right arm of mine before I will ever work or demand the ballot for the Negro and not the woman."

Our cause is a common one. It is war between poverty and wealth. ... This moneyed power is fast eating up the substance of the people. We have made war upon it, and we mean to win it. If we can, we will win through the ballot box; if not, then we shall resort to sterner means.

— William H. Sylvis
