Great excitement was manifested by the ladies upon
the reading OF this resolution. Mira Wlbour said that
Mr. Greeley was an old man and should be forgiven;
he's not wicked only blind, IL Is rather unjust to be SO
severe upon his blindness"
Miss Anthony: This discussion reminds me OF what
politician said 20 me Saratoga q few weeks ago. He
thought the Womeus Rights too personal in their
discussions and said that this dealing in personalities
injured our cause exceedingly. Now we can't exemphiy
principle which IL yilhed without mentioning the
name OF tho man who ylnes It. Nevertheless, think
We should not notice articles In the papers. II the
women don't want DO talked about they must keep
still But Mr. Greeley Is undoubtedly wrong" Mrs
Blake: mr. Greeley has probably not seen the articles
In question: but st he ought to be held responsible. In
the West people who feel themselves aggeyed shoot the
editor and let the suborinates 90. We don't propose to
assAssuato Mr. Greeley but he should be called to ao
count" Miss Anthony supported by several ladies, de-
cdcd that the resolution should be laid upon the table,
which was accordingly done. Miss Anthony: "Peoplo
seem 10 look upon these meetings gala days II we
have q social tmc-a little clitchat-It goes into the
p,ners as serious business. The fact Is, that with
a doar,h OF news tho press Is ready to take
up anything that will amuso the public" Mrs.
wlbour: Mrs. Norton was grave enough" Miss
Anthony Yes that was grave enough TO anybody
Now though talking may DO regar Ted by some as
rather dcsultory We all tho while educating the
people aud adding converts 20 tho cause. what We
must do Is 90 hurry along the work OF petitioning
Every woman In the Association ought 10 mako 1t her
business TO get a many sgners she can thus prepar
ing the way for hard work the cold weather
comes" Some slight discussion upon petitonng followed,
after which the President and declared the meet
