PECULIAR FEATURE
OF the convention is the presence OF a delegation
of women, members of the national woman's
suffrage association, OF which the hesdq uarters
are in New York city. This association is often
and proianely called the "woodhull branch of
the woman suffrage movement" Susan B.
anthony, Nrs. Dunoway, Lille Blake and Mrs
delegates from the territories where women vote
are expected.
THE FEELING AGAINST MR.. GREELEY
is very strong among these advocates of the
rights of women. Miss Anthony, in converse
ton, said Horace Greeley had done a great and
wicked work In opposing the woman suffrage
movement, his position as editor OF one Of the
first Journals in the country giving him more
opportunity to do this with effect.

cause, which means the support of the nominees
OF the Philadelphia convention. The meeting
will be presided over BIZ II. Raster, Esq, of the
chicago Stats ZeitURg, the great German re-
publican organ of Illinois. Talks among the
Germans, both those residents of this city and
those here from abroad, show an unanimous
preference for Grant. Upon the subject of the
Vice Presidency they express no preference.
THE MONEY INFLUENCE GOES TO PHILApFr-
PHlA.
August Belmont, the distinguished mi Iionaire
banker and democrat, has taken a suit OF rooms
al the Continental. His rooms are crowded.
TRAIN on HAND.
Geo. Francis Train has hung underneath the
somewhat well looking portrait in the Cent?
mental map Of the United States on the Train
projection. On this remarkable geographical
production Omaha is delineated as the CITY OF
the future, while the rest of the map is full OF
similar prophetic eccentricities. Train saws all
parties are going 10 pieces, aud that his conyen-
ton or October 9Th will triumphantly elect
him.
