He Proposes to Use the Cofored Com

Washington Special to the ". y. World. sfst
a notice appears in to-day's papers re-
cOnVening the delegates TO the late Eman-
cipatiOn Day Convention whch called a
national meeting of colored men. 1t is
understood here that the real object of the
meeting is to make a general change i'm
the programme for the convention. In
stead of being held here the plan now is to
have 1t held in one of the doubtful States
where the cOlOred vote is worth making
an effort to secure, and instead of holding
1t during the coming autumn as intended
to put 1t over until next year, lust pre-
cedlng the Presidential election.
This change is said to be the result of n
conference between Fred. Douglass and
PRESIDENT Arthur ON Saturday, in which
the matter was carefully talked over in all
its bearings and this plan decided upon.
1t is understood that if the present pro-
ject can be carried out the convention
Will be held in Indiana, Ohio or New
YORK, as circumstances may dictate
about year from now.
The Washington Star, which is in some
sense more nearly an organ than the Ma
u0h0t HepubIcdn, calls editorial atten-
tl0n to the matter by saying: ''The con-
VentiOn is reassembled, il is understood
latitude to the committee of twentv-fiye
which called the convention of colored
men of the United States to meet in this
city IN september next. The committee
feel that under the resolution creating
that body it is confined to the time
and place therein stated, having as
its chief purpose simply the promo
tion of the object of the call. The com
mittee have been willing from the start to
modify the call at the proper time to sat
lsfy all sections. The necessity for the
convention Is apparent, they say, notwith-
standing the opposition that has sprung
up here in Washington by persons en-
ployed i'll the departments. Already i'm
illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, Indiana and
Tennessee the colored men have taken
steps TO call their leaders together to con-
slider the very questions mentioned in the
call of the committee.
There can be no doubt that President
Arthur Is Gn;etly but effectively working
every card for denomination, and with a
few such men as Fred Douglass, Blanche
x. Bruce and Milt Holland aiding him.
the colored element will be made a power
In his favor.

Whig politician of considerable abiIity
and the highest character. He is one Of
the most extensive land owners in Ire
land, where his ancestors for generations
back have lived. His estate is over l35.-

a model landlord. In April, 1880, Mr..
Gladstone appointed him Under Sec
retary for india, but when the
government introduced the compensa-

opposed 1t on the ground that it's provi-

great faith in them, he spent part of the
following winter on his estates at Kerry,
but before more than half the season had
passed he was obliged to leave there on
account of the disturbed condition of the
country. Lord Landsodwne married a
daughter of the Duke of Abercorn, who
