THE BALLOT FOR WOMEN.
A Delegation Of Ladies' Call Upon
Gen. HancOck-HOw they Con-
strue u Sentence of His Letter
Of Accordance.

New York. August l6 "A delegation
of women called upon General Hancock
day or two agp, and Mrs. Lilly Deve.
reux Blake said they had come to ask
him what hope the Woman Suffrage
party might entertain in Case any meas
ure came before him rs President which
bore upon granting To woman the bal.
lot. The General replied that the wo-
man suffrage movement was a growing
one and that everything that tended to-
ward the amelioraiion Of woman's con-
dition had his sympathy. In the course
of conversation he said that woman
should be paid equally with men for
the same kind Of work equally we'll per
formed, aud observed that when he
first went +, school in Nprristown no
bubble school existed. His brothers
and himse attended a private acdd-
emy. As soon, however, rs pubic
schools became established, his father
sent his boys to one Of them, and sew
eral wealthy neighbors did the same,
as an example to those who might frel
ashamed to seek free o lucation for
their children. The General remarked
that the teachers were then exclusively
men, and he was pleased to see how
extensively women had since become
employed as such and how efficient
they generally were.
Mrs. Slocum said that the delegation
desired decided expression from him
as to whether he would or would not
veto any measure favorable to woman
suffrage that might come before him "a
President The General replied that ii
such measure was voted upon by Con
gresS as constitutional amendment 1t
would not come before the President.
Ii, however, Congress accorded women
the right to vote in the District oil Col
umbIa he certainly would of1er no oD-
struction.
Mrs. Blake asked il he considered
women as people" "Undoubtedly,
replied the General; "he would be bold
man who would undertake to say they
we're not" "Then, General, said
Mrs. Blake, eve ask nothing more than
what YOU say in your letter of accept
ance. 1t is only by full vote, a free
ballot and fair count that the people can
rule in fact as required by the theory oil
our government" .,
/ am perfectly willing said General
Hancock, "tha; you should say that
take my stand on that paragraph IN my
letter OF acceptance.
During general conversation Gen.
eral Hancock expressed much interest
in the prospect of wo nen taking part IN
the Presidential campaign, and asked
what their plans wer' tor canvassihg;;
The delegation departed well pleased

II Congressman Jorgensen, OF Fir-

Republican headquarters at the Capital,
yesterday. with the startling informa'
ton that Virginia was certain to go for
Garfield in November; that large num-
bers Of prominent and pronounced Re-

electoral ticket, and that the results in
the various Congressional districts de-
pended altogether upon local manage
ment and judicious action on the part
Of the Radicals. The party managers
are reported to be highly pleased
over this little romance OF the over
sanguine Representative from the Old
Dominion, and have determined to make
a desperate effort to defeat the divided
Democracy. The attempt will probably

New YoRK. August lG.-In speaking
OF the campaign in Indiana, Chairman
Birnum, Of the National Committee,

mind. Is perfectly satisfactory"

you would be astonished to know
how thoroughly it las been and is be-

work. He is man of great executive
ability, and hc is exercising it most
effectively. lie hires a man for each
county, who goes To work as matter OF
business and canvasses the county
house by house. The position OF every
voter is put on record. and the informa-
tion thus obtained is simply a matter Of
fact. In the cities, like indianapolis.
the canvass is made not by wards, but
by blocks. One man is assigned to each
block, and makes il his business to know
Just the position OF every man in the
block"
"How about the importation Of ne
groes?"
"The means which we have taken
will prevent any OF that. Then beside
the colOred vote will be largely neutral

There has been of late a large demand

THE news from Maine is highly en-

THE DELAY OF TRAINS IN THE WEST AND
DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.
MILWAUKEE. Wis, October 1.-THE
wind storm which prevailed here yes.
terday and last night was the severest
ever known in this section, and the
barometer was never known to he 20
low. The wind was from the south,
blowing between sixty and seventy
miles an hour. A large fleet of vessels
sought this harbor for safety and rode
out the gale in the bay.
Dispatches from La Crosse say the
storm along the Southern Minnesota
Railway was the severest known in
years. Passenger and freight trains
along the line were blockaded in snow
drifts faom ten to twelve feet deep, and
teams with provisions have been dis.
patched to their relief from several
points. The train which left La Crosse
on Friday has not been heard from
since leaving Fulda that night. All the
cuts west of Fairmont are filed with
snow, packed hard. Reports of cattle,
horses, ETC., having perished are con.
stantly received, but no loss of human
ljfe has yet been reported. It is the
worst storm ever known in Southern
Minnesota and Eastern Dakota, and is
still raging.
