WAsHINoToN, March IL, 1884.
rhe Woman SuiFrsge Convention in ses-
zion here last week took a shy at the Pes
idential question in an indirect way. This
convention attracts considerable interest
every year, the one just held being the six.
teenth annual meeting OF the association.
OF course, some OF the leaders have grown
old, but they have enlisted some rather
pretty, dointily dressed young ladies, aud
the show is well worth the ten cents al.
mission fee charged at the door. Mrs. Lille
Devcreux Blake reviewed the Presidential
candidates as seen from her standpoint.
Edmunds, she began, would not do. He
had always used his influence in the Senate
against women. The historian of the Ken.
rebec, as she described Blaine, was con-
sldered better than Edmunds, but he had
never supported the cause OF the women

The giant from pigmy Delaware is brave
knight, she said, but when he sets his lance
against women he might as well be put
away with fossils of the National Mu-

but, in her opinion, the best man was In-
diana's favorite son, Joseph e. Mcdonald,
to whom women owe debt OF gratitude.
Her characterization Of the candidates was
loudly applauded.
Notwithstanding the announcement SO
freely made, that Don Cameron is not a
candidate for reelection to the Senate,
there are few in Washington who believe
it. The only thing that would cause him
to decline is knowledge that he could
not be elected. He owns the higgist pri-
vate residence in Washington. He has
the money to keep il up. On account of
his bad health he cannot go into active
business, but his mind must be occupied.
A Senator is creature of great dignity
and power, with Just enough to do to give
the appearance of hard work, without the
fatigue. His wife is at once the most
beautiful and popular of all the Senator'S
wives, and she adores Washington society.
Considering all these things, Mr.. Cameron
is not likely to 60 back TO his rough ashler
house, in Harrisburg, fronting the river,
