bate now on in the General Conference recalls
two other memorable occasions when the sub

Lucretia Mott and the wife Of Wendell Phillips
The motion to admit these women delegates was
most bitterly opposed. 1t was held that
it was never contemplated that women
should occupy o seat in the convention:
that English phraseology should be construed
according to English usage. and that it was not

begged the ladies TO withdraw their creden tials:
better that the convention be dissolved at once
than that they be admitted. The Rev. Grew Of

be violation OF the ordinance of Almighty God

At the time of the presentation of the
great bulk of new evidence in the Stain
Cromwell case, the attorneys for the defence
had had time to trace the movements OF
Charles +. Stain only through July and Au-
gust OF 1877. Jince that time, however, they
have been paying their attention to Novem-
Der, and have succeeded in locating him in
that month A. II. Gross of Oakland, a citi-
zen OF excellent stonding, will testify that in
1877 he had charge of the freight cars of the
Maine Central at that station, the same posi-
tion which he holds at present. Charles
Stain came to Oakland the last of Septem-
Der in that year, and staid until the first of
December He was selling rum and used to
hang about the depot all the time. having
his liquor hidden in the empty freight cars
Mr.. Gross used to find it often when looking
about the yard. He remembers where young
eral other witnesses who will swear that he
was there at the time mentioned.
On March 10Th last, Charles Stain was in
Oakland, and was seen by Mr.. Gross, who
said to him:
"Wbat did you mean by testifying at that
trial in Bangor that you were in Medfield in
November, and made trip down into Maine
on the steamer Star Of the East? You know
very well that you were in Oakland all that
month selling rum, and we all know it, toe" +"
II know it, was Stains reply, "but had
a big grudge against the old man, and / have
paid 1t otf | know that ! lied about the
natter
Mr.. Gross has always known young Stain,
and is aware that he is worthless charac-
ter. This is regarded as among the best evil
dence that has yet been discovered.

NEW YORK, April 13.-The cloud of ru-
mors and reports about Mr.. Blaine being ill.
which have been spread broadcast for some
time, have been effectually dispelled on no
less authority than letter from Mr.. Blaine
himself to his son, Emmons Blaine OF Chi
cago. Emmons Blaine was in New York
yesterday, on his way to Boston for the Chi
cago, Santa Fe & California railroad, of
which he is the general passenger and freight
agent When asked about his fathers
health he said, "You can say in the most en-
phatic terms that all the stories about fathers
i'll health are wholly unfounded. You know

fathers fund of life and spirit was fuller
than ever. He had some little twinges at
Florence that made him think he was going
to have rheumatism, but 1t all went away.
The stories that are being spread about his
i'll health cannot be too severely denounced,
because of the anxiety they cause great

fathers good spirits.
Blaine Feeling iniohlo.
COLUMBUS, o.. April 13-On accepting the
Office of president of the fifth congressional
district Republican convention at Fostoria,
yesterday, ex-Gov. Foster made bold to say
that he was sure Blaine was elected Presi-
dent in 1884, but that the Democrats cheated
him out of the office. He cannot see why it
takes 10000 votes to elect congressman here
and only 5000 in the South. Though a reso-
tion was adopted in favor of John Sherman
for President, there were strong surface indi-
cations of an ardent desire to substitute the
name of James G. Blaine or Joseph b. Fora
ker. The resolutions condemn President
Cleveland's tariff message and the Mills tar
iff bill, and endorse Foraker's administra-
tion. Jacob +. Burket was recommended
for candidate for State supreme judge. No
candidate for Congress was nominated.
