Mrs. Julia Ward Howe read an elaborate essay
upon the question of womans position in the soctaf
and political world. After some remarks Of gene
raj character she referred to the fact that In Eng,
land the admission Of woman to suffrage seemed
open to less objection than here on the part OF tho
upon the possession OF certain amount OF proper
Sy, and the possession OF property by the woman
seemed to make legti!nate her claim 70 vote hefe
wOmanh00d simply, and therefore involved conslo-
erations Of broader character ana would meet
with greater opposition. She alluded to the cond.-
ton OF those ladies' who had no husbands or pros
pect OF them as seeming to live upon suierance and
1heir lives generally considered to 60 to the side
rather OF loss than OF profit. From this point she
branched OF to the topic OF expensiveness or woman
on account of the prevailing fashions and social
ussges. This condition OF things made many women
to be merely sources OF expense, consuming muc1
and producing nothing. She did not however. I'M
mcdiately urge upon women to be bellies no mora:
but would rather rest upon men the responslDlty Of
this condition OF things. The dependent condition
OF women and the lack OF any other sphere OF action
and ambition other than that OF the ballroom ana
the parlor were her excuse.
Brief addresses followed by William Lloyd Carrt.
son, Lucy Stone, Mrs. LtvermOre aud Whiting GrtE
void, the chairman OF the Legislative Committee
