She Va greeted With loud applause.
she said she would hardly think In the
American Republic that any apology
would be necessary for 8 womGn's speech
On the questions OF the day. On the 9Th
Of November we would notice the going
up Of seven million people TO elect Pres.
ideni who should govern them four years
and dictate the policy Of the county for 9
quarter Of q century. Il WAS q question

not, II America were 70 lead the van Of
The people are more inter
sted in principles than in parties. We
had arrived in an epoch when the people
were putting forth their hands for more
power. While Sir Charles Dixie says

Sumner advocates the curbiDg Of the EX-
ecrtiye power, and Wendell Phillips
propheies its abolition altogether We

who the more he read the more he became
embarrassed. he Judged from the Jour-
nAlists that they were al kDaves and had
violated every command Of the deca-
loguge-they were all liars, kn2ve,
thieves and hypocYiies. Emerson says
men are what their mothers make them.
She would not insult the Grant women
OF the Greeley women, II there were any,
By defending this position. These asser-
tons were But the powder Of the cam

Watch your rulers, think for yourselves,

where the laborer Is rising. Here he hiss
the ballot, and it Is his fault If he does not
use it for his OWL protection. Instead Of
strikes, study political economy. Find
out the causes OF poverty and distress, in
taxes and land monopolies, and you find
the cornerstone Of oppression. One one
side Is selfShness, on the other envy,
hatred, malice and murder. Its our own
fault il we do no; have jus! and wise laws
TO govern US.
IN these uphearals once in four years
We only sweep away small drains that
wire.pullers have made Parties have
dtintegrated and reorganized on new
issues, above cliques and caucusses, gov
erned by gresc principles. When great
question e settled, the strength Is eIpen-
ded 10 personal attacks. In 1924 there
were tour candidates for the Presidency,
A party was organized that held for
twenty-five years; and 80 it has been down
to cur own time. History always repeAts
itself. Slavery Is settled and the ques-
ton has passed into history. We have
new issues now but are not educated lor
them yet, and we have six candidates in
the field for President-some in deep
water, some standing, some running, but
all TO be swallowed up by the citizen.sol'
der, Ulysses S. Grant.
4 great many doubt the conversion oil

And no, when they are nearly ready for {

as We march on We shall leave them iocty
years in the wilderness, 10 let them Learn

utter 10 new watchword, no new line O.

The lady then gave q description Of The

great as it was when Greeley was noni

require rest, and the Democrats should
join them, fOr they are opposed 10 wal

Opposition take no special interest il

activity, has made bat one speech, ant
that in an obscure town. He said ht

never could have. Governor Hoffman
said New York would give Greeley
more majority than Missouri would votes
and yet he has not made a single speech
Hehad been trying 10 help Buckslew in
