| tho committee was accepted, and was
placed before tho house for discussion.
Mr.. Peehln congratulated the meeting on
the fact that they had tonight peaceable
meeting, although efforts had been success
fully made to break up the two previous
gatherings. These attempts were outrages,
/ and had been melted by men who should be
marked aud politically damned by their
actions. He was glad that the right Of free
/ speech had at last been asserted successfully,
and he firmly believed that the time had
/ gone by when q meeting called TO organize

ministratloa would DO broken In upon anu

altering the hrst resolution somewhat, during
which Vim, II. Brown, IT,, Of the Seventh
ward, said that an effort must be made to
induce legislation TO protect men In their
exercise Of the franchise. The way the
matter Stands now IL IL not unlikely that
the corporation crowd, with their dlsorderly
mob, will do as was done last year. IL a
colored man attempts to vote ticket other
than that prepared for him by Corporation
Attorney Cook aud his satellites, he would
be put to flight by q lawless mob.
lsley Waldin interrupted the speaker by
asking him II the assaults last year were
committed upon any other colored men save
those who were voting the Democratic
tleketi
Mr.. Brown replied that Congress had
granted the colored men the right Of fran
chise, and their vote was with their con.
science and their God, and Il was not right
that they shouId be distuTbed In theIr 10 IN
