The meeting Monday night at the 19th Street church was a large affair The politicians were fully up to the occasion. Col. Carson and Hon. Gleaves, presided with dignity and in earnest; and the speeches especially Langston’s and Senator Blair’s, were first class. Above all, the leagues seemed 1n earnest and the people were with them. Mr. Langston’s speech was a little long but powerful, the last few paragraphs will no doubt be appreciated by the convention, which all recommended Senator pact, practical, form and purpose.

THE RESULT OF CA“ EFUL CONSIDERA- TION BY REPRESENTATIVES IN VARI'US STATES AND 8TR'NG SENTIMENT DEVELOPED AMONG THE MEEBERS OF THE LEAGUE— THE DATE REMAINS UNCHANGED, To the Afro American Leagues:-- The undersigned, anxioug for the suceegs of the meeting of the Afro American Leagues, called for the 15th of January, 1890, at Nashville, Tenn., after a careful consideration ot the matter, unite in changing the place of meeting from Nasghvilie to Chicago, Illinois, the date of meet- ing to remaiu unchanged, for the foliowing reasons, to wit: [1.] We find that a very strong ° genuinent has developed among the ; members of the League against meeting at Nashville, because of the inadequacy of botel accommo dations and the difficulty of secur ing reasonable reduction in rail- road fares, and because it ls thought that a fair aod impartial report of the session of the Leagues caunot be secured, the press of Nashville being notoriously antag onistic to Afro-American citizens, and, lastly, because the Afro Amer- ican citizens ef Nashville have} shown no disposition, individually | or collectively, that they desire the | Leagues to meet in their city and | will make no reasonable and neces- sary preparation for such meeting. | [2] We find that the difficulties here set forth will be entirely re~ moved by changing the place of meeting from Nashville Tenn., to} Cuicago, Illinois, and the change | ig so ordered, the mevetings of the Leagues to. be at Chicago, IIL, Wedueaday, January 15, 1890, at 10 A.M. sharp.
