The Mass Meeting
Summary
The recent Johnson Club meeting in the city shows that the real purpose of the club is to bring about the repeal of the Registry Law. The cheering of former Confederates shows that the club is composed of many former Confederate soldiers and their supporters. Many others joined the clubs in opposition to negro suffrage, but have since left it after discovering its true object. One wing of the club supports the Registry Law, while the other opposes it. All profess opposition to negro suffrage.
