PETITION Now-DEMASD COMING.
Mn. Stanton said II any distinguished
Senators, Generals, or others were among
the audience who desired to take the stand
and become converted an opportunity Is now
afforded. This year would be the last one
wherein woman intended TO " petltion" Con-
Rress, but hereafter the word "demand"
would DO the weapon OF warfare In the great
rebellion for womAn's rights. She hoped
the women would go educate themselves
that they will be prepared to exercise the
ballot, for she would be sorry TO see female
going 10 the polls 90 Ignorant that she would
sell her vote. There was nothing to degrade
trAry would be the effect-a glorious eleya-
ton OF humanity. II woman could be In
duced 10 marry q man, there was certainly
nothing degrading In her accompanying her
husband 10 the ballot-box.
REMARKS OF SENATOR WILSON.
Senator Wilson, OF assachusetts, being
present, was invited TO address the ConNen-
ton. He said he did not como here 10 ad-
dress an argument to favor the purposes for
which the Conversion assembled, but he
came to say that wherever he had n vote TO
give, n would be given to remove every bur
den from the people, and grant the same
rights 10 women that men possess. He came
70 say that In heart aud purpose he was with
the women movement, and all the influence
he possessed he had given 10 the emancipa'
tion Of q race that now enjoy nearly all the
riVhta Of American citizens, and In sixty
days the colored race would stand on an
equal footing with all the citizens OF the
States. A great work was to be accom-
pllshed In educating man aud woman TO the
great political change that In short time
will be apparent.
Miss Anthony said she was glad Senator
Wilson was so good general, In coming
forward and taking his position In the front
ranks Of the women's grand army OF the
republic.
