Mrs. y. J. Duniway, editress and pro-
prietor Of the NEW NORTHWEST, of
Portland, Oregon, lecturea 10 a large au-
dience at Platts Hall last evening. Her
lecture was entitled, "What | Know
about Horace Greeley and Politics"
The lecturer introduced herself to the
audience, and was enthusiastically re-
eeived. She treated upOn various sub-
jects, including WOman's Suffrage and
the political situation in general. An
account of her entry into public life
was given, and she strongly urged the
necessity of woman entering the uoliti-
cal arena as companion of the sterner
sex. The lecturer defined her position
as strong for General Grant, and pre-
dicted that Liberal Republicans would
soon become disgusted with the "bed-
sick Democracy She said the Demo-
cratic party Is not dead, and Greeley is
being used as n eats paw. The lecturer
spoke distinctly and with considerable
force, and she only concluded her re-
marks when the audience began to dis

audience was a large one, almost every
seat up and below stairs being occu-
pied. She said she did not come to
make woman's rights speech. It was
not necessary to waste time on that
matter, for no one with the brains of a
rabbit could doubt that the women
would have the ballot. IL was a mere
question of time, and short time at

paign she was in favor of Grant and Re-
publicanism, for the cause of women
could safely be placed i'm the hands of
the men who fought for and saved the
Union. GTeeley's election would be a
Democratic triumph, and n Democratic
triumph meant the repeal of the amend
ments 10 the Constitution, the re-estab-
lishment of African slavery, the as
sumption of the Confederate debt, and
the rolling back of the wheels of prog
ress for an hundred years. His election
would undo the events of the last twelve
years, for the cOnsummatiOn of which
so many thousands of lives had been
lost and billions of money expended. 1t
therefore behooved all who loved liberty
and right, justice and equality, to vote
for Republicanism, the Party of Prog
ress, aud Grant and Wilson, the repre-
of that party.
Every allusiOn to Grant was received
with enthusiastic applause. When the
name OF Greeley was mentioned the
bedrock Democrats and Liberals
made an attempt at a demonstration,
but were missed down, and finally left
IN body, amid the derisive laughter of
the audience proper. This induced Mrs.
Duniway to remark facetiously that she
had evidently made knowing" speech.
At the conclusion a voluntary and
liberal subscription was taken up i'm be-
