TO THE NEGROES.
a Convention of Negroes Called to
Meet in Raleigh, August 26th.

Meet in Raleigh, August 26th.
The following circular has been sent
US with request to publish in the
CHRONICLE. It is signed by negroes
(some of them quite prominent in their
race) in twenty-five counties. The call
reads
The negroes Of North Carolina are re-
quested to hold county conventions and
appoint delegates to state convention to
be held at Raleigh, on Tuesday, the Goth
day of August, 1890, at 10 o'clock, NJ.
Each county will select ten times as
many delegates as the respective coun-
ties have members in the lower house
of the Legislature. Care will be exer-
cised to distribute these delegates
throughout the counties, so as to poular-
ize the representation. An equal num-
Der of alternates will be selected in the
same way.
The changed condition of political af-
fairs, the studied discrimination against
our race, solely on account of color, the
urgent necessity for additional educa-
tional facilities, the attempt now being
made to stifie our manhood by consign-
ing our leading men to menial places
under the government, together with
the fact that the negroes have voted
wildly for twenty five years, make it
necessary that the negroes of North
Carolina should assemble together for
the purpose of taking counsel with
each other, to inaugurate measures
whereby evils affecting the race may
be remedied, and the manhood of the
race be asserted and maintained.
