@Ass Anthony and Mrs. Hooker. MKExxSa AT SOUTH MANCHESTER.

Toa know there are to be-perhaps you have alre9dy adveEtised-a serIes of eigh- teen woman suffrage meetings in the seMee. Well, the first one was held in our South Village, Saturday evening. The posters were sent to me to put up. but gue stuek somewhere on the way. "Post- erS-thinks I tO myself, ''haye we got to @ over that performance again, with 6 platform of tswer vice presidents to ssimalate POpularity2" had been stanPing my district lately, upon school business. and seen with my own eyes that the bottom of opposition tO women's vot- IEg was gone. Only some Sherman in Pekflc0ats vas wanting to drive through the state tO show it. don'G say, mind. shAt our women talk of their political freedom to everybody. The southern negroes did not hope for civil liberty be. fore everyone, you know.
 Hunting for posters dampcned myar- dor. u seemed drag to get to the meet ing. Rather stay at home and make n p0p1gun for the small boy. But the res olnflon of the mistress surprised me. She wss determined to go, and must go too. The children wOuld do well enough without us. 5he marched of to neighbor's and gOs the loan of kindly big boy to keep house Tor the evening, The crush of an- tiquo nArrow-guage wagons in the village hOEHo sheds proved at an carly hour that we had no need of posters The people came ont in force. No bother with vice presidents or ceremony. Only twoswo. men on the platform-Mrs. Hooker and Miss Anthony. I have been preiudiced agASugs Miss Anthony. The newspapers % belied and be-susaned herl who could help being preiudiced? She turns out lHst snch an intelligent, straightforward, honest woman as every man would like io leave in charge of his concerus while he gAllops away upon business and legis- lative adventures. We could make mon- ey like smoke with plenty of such capable help content to stay at home and ask no questions. Miss Anthony began in her Glrihood by inquiring of her cotton spin. ming father why-n ''Sally Jane" Some body was really ''the main stay of the weave room"-he didn't make Sally mis- tress of the work with full pay? She has continued this sort of questioning for twenty years, asking a more equal chance for women. as John Adams wife did a hundred years ago. Her talk is as plain and trustworthy as herself; argument, anecd0te, and facts that kept us whist with attention all the while she was speak ing. She neither scolds nor gives us ''baby- y-talking." and is altogether quite difficult to get around or overcome with her cogent reasons. Her weak point is that she has no political power as men have. Here iswhere the mah-like sneer comes In. For an American woman to ask for an equal share of that seems us pFsPoster0us to some people as it was oaee nnaOubtsdly did 10 claim her own earningn. 7-

istic more frequently developed, and es-
pecially 80 in one instance, on the occa

present, among others, Arthur Nick
and John McM-. The former in the
heat of the debate had pronounced, un-
qualifedly, the latter to be liar. This
strong language grated harshly on the
sensitive ears of some Of the listeners,
several OF whom approached Nick,
requesting him TO retract the offensive
epithet and modify his remarks. This,
after much solicitation, Mex prom
ised to do If they would let him have bis
