increasing opposition to any abridg
ment Of citizenship rights for colored
Americans. The speaker said that the
civic conditions for colored people
were great deal worse now than
twenty years ago. when Douglass died,
and ascribed this to the influence of
colored leaders, who. unlike Douglass,
advocated silent submission to injus-
ticc and attention to securing money.
