In view OF the present condition of affairs
in which we find ourselves we beg to direct
attention to the following facts:
l.: Since 1868 there has been a steady and

not to be eliminated. Suffrage is a federal

congress to- reduce the representation Of
those states in the congress-, as provided and
made mandatory by section 2 Of article XIV.
Of the constitution We call upon Afro-Amer-

suffrage rights. If it is necessary to accom-

shocked and disguised the nation. We regret
that the president of the United States saw
