Mrs. Tsabsild D. Hooker, Hartford, OonH''
mrs. HooKER's REMARKS.
Mrs. Hooker then addressed the Conven-
ton, saying that Christianity had elevated
woman, and so would the ballot. Men are
no more responsible for the present condition
Of woman thaa the women themselves, for
all slnned In the days Of Adam and Eve, but
what she did complain Of In man was that
his influence had not long before been eX-
erted In her behalf.
REV. OLYMPIA DROWN.
Mrs. Rev. Olympia Brown, Of Connecti-
cut, followed In q lengthy address, saying
that she was not politician nor a states
man, and therefore she did not know how to
address Legislators on the subject at Issue;
but she did know how TO inquire In what
direction her money was expended, for pay
ing money for taxes without representation
was unjust. Il may be that statesmen were
too timld, and she had more faith In the
people than wlre-pulllng politicians. Poll
| ticians in Kansas defeated the voman's
cause, not the people, for the wlre-pulilng
politicians refused 70 vote In fear Of their
OF Congress-, and she hoped Senators and
members OF Congress would show Oh cir
hands at once In favor OF woman sufIra 20.
God has made no distinction between man
aud woman, and never intended that she
should be slave to man. She did agree with
DR.. Bushnell, who said that II the Apostle
Paul had married happily he would have
said harsh thlnga OF woman. She wished
there was such an advocate for woman TO-
day as was the Apostle Paul. She did not
think the millennium would come when woman
/ voted, for that period was too far distant,
while the time was now nj hand whom woman
would be permitted to vote. All the vices
| and evils Of society would diminish, but the
| millennium would not come. She asked that
the ballot be given to the women OF the cOun-
try, because Of service rendered by them
during the war, II for no other reason. 1t
was for the educated woman Of the country
that she asked the ballot, that the Ignorant
voters who emigrate from the Old World
may be held In check, and In order that
higher standard OF morals NAV peFyade
| America.
TAT this stage Prof. Wilcox appeared on
the platform with q sprig Of jamestown
weed In button-hole Of his neatly nttin z
swallow tailed coat.
Mrs. Stanton said she hoped the audience
would remember TINT a good clap TO the
speaker during the delivery Of a speed
afforded time TO the orator to take breath,
drink glass OF water, aud blow the nose.
As a good clap Il agreeable 10 eloquent
speakers, she hoped the clap would not be
| withheld from her In future.
During the delivery Of the address OF
Mrs. Brown, Il was announced that Cover.
nor Campbell. Of Wyoming Territory, who
had Just slgued a bin enfranchislhg the
women of Wyoming, was In the hall, Miss
Anthony invited him 10 the stand; but In an
hour aherWard no response or appearance
OF the Governor made the fact apparent
that Miss Susan had been sold.
TIE VOICE FROM MISSOURI AGAIN.
Miss Phoebe CouEins, Of Missouri, was
next introduced, and said the State OF Mis-.
souri, Is giving every right 10 woman that
was enIoyed by men TO become students OF
the universities, q right that IL not given By
any other State. she spoke OF her expe
Renee as a student Of the Washington Uni
versity Of Missouri, and said that before sh,
became a student she was told that woman
was not capable to study successfully the
|, law, but she has found quite to the contrary
= and she thinks that a woman Is capable o
doing ANYTHING that man can DO, and iu I
