COLORED CONVENTION.
Forty-Two Colored Republican Clubs Respond to the Call.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17. - James W. Poe, president of the National Republican Vigilant association says that up to date eighteen states and forty-two colored republican clubs have responded to the call for a national convention at at Baltimore. October 9. The clubs will have three delegates each in addition to the regular state delegation.
The convention's chief work will be to formulate a general plan of organization to solidify the colored votes and reclaim that which has heretofore acted with the democratic and other parties. The indications are, he says, that this will be the largest political gathering of colored men for the years.
