NOMINATION OF MISS TENNIE CLAEFI.IN
FOR CoNGREss.--M Tennie Claffiin has
6een nominated by the German Progress
ave Association New York for Re-
preventative in Congress for the Eighth
G 'a9 ressional District New York. The
New York papers give the names Of many
of the best ant ablest Merchants Bankers
and business men Of New York as being
present and listening attentively to
Miss CIaflin's. address" We take the
following from the New York correspond
lence Of the MiIwaukec Sentinel, BEARING
date August 18th
The nominations Of Miss Tennie Clafin,
| by the German Progressive Association,
has created an intense excitement here
among ali parties, for no one imagined our
| German citizens would espouse the woman
movement. The mass meeting at Irving
Hall, where ID iss Tennie addressed her
constituents III their native tongue, was
| large, orderly, and enthusiastic, and
| Thoroughly put to shame every Irish
American political meeting that was ever
| held In this city. The speech was short,
and delivered in good STYLE and the
Applause was immense.
These honest,quiet Germans seem to ac.
capt the situation,and are as much pleased
with their candidate as children with a
new toy; they really believe Miss Claffiin
will carrE lie Eighth Cengressional
District, and that theirs will be the honor
and glory. If she does-what an if that
is, too..-we shall have some rare and racy
events to chronicle, and the women, FROM
Susan Anthony and Mrs. Stanton down,
who have battled and prayed for such an
event for fifty years, will have reason to
think The millennium has come, and that
women are indeed to have their rights.

and has been successful far beyond ex-

great that to meet the demand the paper
has had to be frequently enlarged and
as often moved into larger quarters until
