! or not, they are in some sense a separate
class. They are reminded of all this in their
relations to the general American public /
think il is the intention to come together
for consultation as to the best means OF
lettering our condition as a class. l am
surprised that the proposed convention
has met so little favor from the Re-
publican papers of the country. l am
equally surprised that the editors of
the colored newspapers have generally
opposed the convention. The Republican
press betray a fear that the convention will
be anti-Republican, while the colored editors
lear that the convention will be controlled
by the existing administration. Neither
ground OF opposition is really tenable. Moth
ing is more common in this country than
conventions for various purposes. We have
all sorts of conventions-Irish conventions,
women's conventions, temperance conven-
tons, workingmen's conventions religious
conventions, intidels' conventions, conven-
tons to put God into the constitution, and
conventions opposed to putting God into the
constitution, and each convention must be
judged upon its merits One would think
that there was something wrong in the very
idea of a convention, but it is not so. They
are the safety-valves of the republic. Men
meet together and speak of their wants, their
wishes; to prevent their grievances, If they
have any, and make them known to the
public. There is no use for dynamite where
men can assem- ole IN conventions. ne OPP
position to this convention on the part of
colored editors has an element of bitterness
in it,"

ventionr' asked the reporter
eff the convention does no good" said Mr..
Douglass, ''or is likely not to do any good, l
feel it my duty to act with it, and do my best
to prevent its doing any harm to the cause OF
the colored man. My belief is that it can put
forth such an utterance that it will raise the
colored man in the estimation of his fellow
citizens and secure for him a better footing
III the republic. All sorts of moves are at
tributed TO the callers of the conventions; that
they are office-seekers. and the Boston Adj
vertiser tells us that we make a mistake when
we challenge consideration on the strength
OF color or the former state of our race; that
the color of his skin is no reason for giving a
man business, Office or special courtesy. All
OF which is very true, but equally true is it
that mans color should not be reason of his
exclusion from any business or office, or the
denial Of any courtesy The one proposition is
as true as the other, and it is to this last
proposition that the convention of colored
men, as understand it. propose to address
themselves"

for the Murder of Mcclure.
PITTsBURG, Pa. May 10.-Ward McConkey
was executed here this forenoon in the yard
attached to the county Jail, for the murder
of Geo. A Mcclure in Deadman's Hollow,
near McKeesport, Pa, on the night of Au-
gust 2, 1881. The murdered man had goods
stolen from his store, and had tracked the
thieves, among whom was McConkey, to the
Hollow where he was afterwards found rid
died with bullets. The murder created in
tense excitement and vigilance committees
were formed who secured the woods for
miles, but the murderers eluded them, and
several months afterward McConkey was
arrested in New York State, but the others
have never heen apprehended.
McConkey retired to bed about 10 last
night, and slept SO soundly that he had to
be awakened this morning. He ate hear
ty breakfast, and when his spiritual adyis-
ers visited him. was as unconcerned as he
had been all the time. He assembled the
scaffold a few minutes before IL, and
thirteen minutes later the trap was sprung.
On the scalfold he protested his innocence,
and addressing the spectators said: Good
bye, one and all. You nang me because you
suppose know something of McClures MUIR
der and wont squeal." Just as the cap was adj
justed he said: Good bye all we murderers."
Death was caused from strangulation, and
life was extinct in seven minutes. The
bearing of the condemned was total indiffer-
ence, not a single trenor being perceptble,
and he was even laughing as he marched
from the Jail to the scafiold.

that the line of the defense will be that the
shooting was justified by great wrong suf-
fered by Thompson. and that this provoca-
ton was only heightened when Davis, in
