speech-making. Rev. ]. A. johnson of the
M street church of this city was the first,
but the appearance of Representative Geo
HI. White of North Carolina was the signal
for great applause, which was continued
with enthusiasm as he addressed the dele
gates. Mr.. White urged unity of action
among his people. and pointed out the fact
that the efforts in the south to disfranchise
the race and the indications even by GER
tain republicans to set aside the negro in
politics, all show that the time has come
for united action by the race and to no
longer depend absolutely on any party or
parties for friendship. Bishop A Walters,
president of the Afro-American council.
responded in speech, reviewing his IA
nous interview advocating the division of
the negro vote and fndorsing the remarks
Of Mr.. White.
The bishop made public for the first timo
MS intention to resign the presidency of
the council. He said he would resign at its
meeting in indianapolis in favor of Repre-
sentative Geo. H. White.
