THE wOMANiS SUFFRAGE RESOLUTION
adopted by the late convention has created some
1ll-feeling. The members OF the Union say, how
ever, that the 'bolt" is confined to very few la
dies. Mrs. Woodbridge, the secretary OF the Ma
tiOnal Unl0n, has Issued proclamation, saying -
1.-The published statement concerning the WO-
mans Christian Temperance Union conveys an
altogether erroneous Impression. Miss Susan b.

that is the sum total OF her connection with the
convention, resolution was adopted by large
majority, leaving each state to take independent
action in relation to the woman'S ballot No bolt
whatever occurred and the convention adjourned
In the most quiet and dignif1ed manner, as became

loyal TO the W.N.CT.U."
