Platform.
At last the great row between the Two womans
rights factions so long threatened and SO often
promised, has begun, and no one living may pro-
plicsy where it will end.
For some time past quarrel has been brewing
between the moderate and conservative wings of
the female shriekers, led by Elizabeth .Cady STAN

Mott the vencrated and Lucy Stone, the stainless,
on one hand, and the rebels, led by Victoria Wood

ashIekers met yesterday is situated at the corner
OF Broadway and Twenty-eighth street, and is

women and the other two hundred and fifty be-

Ngure encased in Dolis Warden costume,
walked through the aisles, the observed of all Oh
servers. The old faces that are usually attendant
on women's conventions did not show up on this
occasion, and many strange locking people, with
green cotton umbrellas, and saSchels containing
large aAd healthy lunches on their knees were OBJ
servable in different parts OF the hall. The belle
who bore or the honors OF the Convention was a
medium sized young lady, delegate, with brown
eyes, and dark chestnut hair, done mp in thick
braids, and wearing a heavy black Six dress.

elk, with nm oyerskirt, and having at her
throat blue silk necktic, came in late
