THE VIEWS OF OTHERS
Mrs. Laura Sanford, of Franklin, was the next
speaker. All smart women may not DO suffra-
gsts, but she claimed that all suffragists were
smart women. She was opposed to suffragists
beseeching Democratic and Republican conven-
tons for recognition in their platforms, and
thouSht that the time was now near when they
could afford to be independent of po-
htlcal parties. She advised the young
ladies of the present day to be wiser than their
mammals, aud when asked to pose in political

Mrs. Josephine Nichols spoke briefly, and was
followed by Senator s. Il. Yancey, who said that
the question was not one of politics, but of
right. Women would become more intelligent,
ne thought, and better companions if given the
equal rights OF men. The right of suffrage
should be governed by mental conditions, The
withholding the ballot from women was usurpa-

Bishop Talbot's Successor.

Richmond Palladium
The death of Bishop Talbot leaves a vacancy
to be filed by the election of one of the senior
rectors of his diocese DR.. Wakefield, the in
cumbent of st. Paul's, this city, is, we believe,
oldest in point of service, and he is generally
spoken of AS the most suitable person to fill the
place, not only a9cOnnt of his seniority, but
especially for his excellent business qualifica-
tions He is now virtually bishop, being chair
man of the standing committee in charge of the
work of the diocese, appointed at the suggestion
of Bishop Talbot after he became incapacitated
for duty. DIR. Wakefield would fill the Office ac-
ceptably to his church, and the financial affairs
of the diocese would always be found in good
condition. AS an organizer he is unsurpassed,
aud his Judgment is mature. We hope that the
wel-deserved honor will be conferred upon the
Doctor.

ADJUSTMENTS.

GRAND oPERA-HoUsE-THE WYNDHAM COM
PANY. -
Mr. Charles Wyndham and his English Com
edy Company made their first appearance in
this city, at the Grand, last night, to a splendid
audience, and the performance was received
with continuous laughter and every indication
OF favor. The play was Brighton" version of
Bronson Towards Saratoga" and it was pre-
scented in a way that left nothing to be desired.
Mr.. wyndham is an admirable light comedian,
and no such company, taken all in all,
has ever before appeared here in COM
edy They are all English artists, and have
those peculiarities of manner and speaking that
are characteristic of the London stage. THIS,
however, served TO lend an additional charm to
the performance, which was thoroughly delight
ful in every respect The closest attention was
paid to the most minute details, and the acting
was spirited and at times almost exciting. No
company of American actors could equal il in
piduancy and thorough abandon, and the audi
ence last night evidently appreciated this fact.
With such acting it matters little about the play
but Brighton" proved to be a very bright play, ,
Astounding in opportunities for fun. Individual
mention of the various members OF the company
need not be made, for all seem to be equally
and Mise Saker appeared to best advantage, but
it may have been on account OF their parts being
a trihe better than the others. The bill for to-
night, which concludes the engagement, is the
one act comedy, "Ruth's Romance" and the new
threeact comedy from the FRENCH, Fourteen
Days" This is Mr.. Wyudham's piece de resist
ance ana it will doubtless be a performance of
very great interest. If you miss it you will miss
q dramatic treat.
