meeting at 4oS Second avenue south.
There were between so and 100 present.
Nm. II. Williams, oi New Orleans,

vocated political independence on tlp
part Of the eolored citizens oi the
United States in this campaign. and
showed in a practical way the benchcent
results 10 be derived from a division
ot the negro vote. His speech was
heartily applauded. showing that this is
