    And catch the gleaming of a random light,
    That tells me that the ship I seek is passing, passing.
    —Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872–1906)

    Gentlemen, those confederate flags and our national standard are what has made this union great. In what other country could a man who fought against you be permitted to serve as judge over you, be permitted to run for reelection and bespeak your suffrage on Tuesday next at the poles.
