gems in behalf of woman suffrage. There weiesao
contestng delegations, and this being reported III
the afternoon, the Convention elected Gen.

to candidates is unchanged. Gov. Tilden is still
ahead, and has made gains in the Georgia, Illinois,
North Carolina, and Alabama delegations At the

every State has submitted platform resolutions and
two whole platforms have been submitted besides.

letter was addressed to young woman,
but as the carrier handed it to her father
at the door, he opened it without looking
at the address particularly. and thus the
affair fell into his hands without his daugh
ter see ingit at ALL He has forwarded it to
the Eagle for publication, hoping that the
false contents will be exposed, aud people
warned through the columns of the Eagle.
The letter reads as follows:
"Miss-,our agent has been through
your city this month, sent specially by us
to gather the names of suitable young
ladies to whom we propose TO give employ
ment for at least four months during the
coming summer We, OF course, want
comely and respectable looking people, and
your name is on our agents report. We
have boen selected by the centennial COM
mittee to engage for them at least two
hundred young ladies for the purpose of
attending to the flower stands, act as
cashiers ID the several refreshment depart
menis, sell tickets for the grand elevator,
take charge of news stands, sell pictures,
guide books, &c, attend to soda water
fountains, and many other light and r.
spectacle situations Besides paying you
well, say from SIS to SIS per week, includ-
ing your meals. you will have fine oppor-
tunity of seeing the grand centennial exhi-
bition every day. You will therefore see
the necessity of replying early as we want
to engage everybody we want by the mid
die Of April, and then have them thorough
| ly drilled and posted by the time the ex-
| hibition opens. We have decided to select
young ladies from out of town because the
neighboring cities should be benefited as
we'll as Philadelphia Of course, your
parents will object 20 your leaving home.
1t wonld therefore be best for you to say
nothing about this until you are here and
then to write to them However, you can
do as you please about that We would
like to have you here by the 18th Of April
Answer immediately, when we will send
you letter of instructions how to come tc
Philadelphia, how to see us and how t.
proceed. Your wages will be decided As
soon as you come, and paid to you in
advance for the first four weeks. commenc
ing the day after you get here"
The letter is undoubtedly calculated tt
lead young girls into some sort of disreput
able net, and no attention should be paic
to any of that sort. The idea probably i.
to induce young women to 60 to Philadel
phia and, once there, they will soon cal
into the wicked hands OF those who are
seeking to destroy them.
