Our readers will find elsewhere In our col
umns call for another Woman Suffrage |
Convention. to be held To Lfbraty Hall on the |
11th and 18th Inst. We have taken tome
pains to aecertaln the causes which led to the
callicg Of two conventions, at the same time,
10. the same PURPOSE. The facta appear to
be briefly these: A lumber Of our leading
citizens, independent of al organizations,
called meeting 10 arrange for Woman
Suffrage Convention, and at about the saue
time an Organization known as the "Cai-
cago g. rosts'' made movement for 1fkp
purpose. The arrangements OF both parties
we're carried forward, neither knowing what
the other Was doing, with any defntteness,
until q week ago. Influenced By the came
desire to secure the attendance Of Anna
dickinson, who is to lecture IN Library Hall
On the lath. both parties, at dif-
5ereut meetings, voted To hire Libsary
Hall for their convention on the
nth and 18th. But while both
voted TO hire 1t, the committee whose call
VIC publish to-day alone succeeded In hiring
IL, We fail to learn that their action IN the
case VAS inconsistent With iairness and hoo-
orpblc dealing. This brought ABOUT col.
| nslon between the committees. On the
same day Mrs. LiveEmore was seut "a com-
mttee 10 the Chicago sorosis, With
| proposition for consolidation OF the two
movements. She proposed that the snrosis
should appoint committee Of three, TO unite
with smother committee of three from her
side, that this JOINT committee OF s'x should
appoint seventh member acceptable to each
one OF The SIX and thai tnla new committee
should 20 forward and prepare Tor united
| convention to be held on the ltth and 18th
ut Library Hall. The only condition Of unson
which WAS imposed was that the dlacussions
should be confined to the woman suffrage
