He~svss hard the bassles this woman may have been forced to fight however unjust the opposition that 6rmness alone has sa- abled her to overcome, thsy certainly have not rendered her one whit the less vomanly, og less like the ideal ve have of a mother.
 h reply to my question as to her hopes and the principles of her party. she said
 My hopes are boundless. My prin- ciples are the principles of my parry. and are best explained in this" handing me . copy of their platform.
 ] "l am in receipt of letters from all over the ooun,ry," she continued, showing that the sympathy with our movement is greater than ve had ever dared to ex- pect. We have full electoral ticket in New HampsA;se, California, and Arkan- saw. We have eNsahlished headquarters in many large cities all ever the country, which enable us to keep well informed of the feeling, numbers, condition and sup porters of our party"
 When asked if she had seen in the New York Timer the statement of General Parsons in regard to the ueachesy of Benjamin Butler to his party, and what she thought of 1t, she said
 Most astounding, if true"
 "And if proved true would it surpsise youf'
 "I cannot say that it would, although the surprise would be . painful one, as General Butler is friend of mine. But his position, and the position of the party of whom he is supposed to be the representative is, It seems to me, % un- certain. and the platforms and princi- pies they have established cover SO much ground, that one cannot see just where or how they are to be applied, and in many points seem to contradict them selves l cannot see" continued Mrs. Lockwood, just what Mir. Bstler's mo- tives are or what he expects to gain from the stand he has taken. As his election to the presidency is, of course, out of the question, he may, of course, say the same thing of me-" she said laughing.

By comiLg forward at this time the party 1 represent have been able to better bring their views and platform before greater body of people than ever before have. as il were, taken advantage of crisis to march many miles nearer Rome and ultimate victory"
 When asked whether, if she became the next occupant of the White House, she would establish Lucy Hayes kitchen of temperance she called attention to the fifth plank ot the equal rights parry, "of which," she said, am the author, and which reads as follovs:
 "We shall discountenance by every legal means the liquor traffic, because its tendency is to demoralire the youth of the land to luwer the standard of morality among the people; and we do not believe that the revenue derived from it would feed and clothe the paupers that i: makes, and the money expended on its accoun, in courts, vorkhouses and prisons.'
 "I have been waited upon by a repre- sentative oa the Manhaitan Temperance Union, who requested me is speak st their meeting, but owing to engagements made, 1 was compelled to decline"
 Ms& Lockwood also stated that she had had numerous callers among oshers, one vho evidently believing there vas nothing in name" entered her pres
