\ woman visiting in Denver just
before election writes very pleasantly
to her friends iu the cast Of the women
who were actively engaged in the
political campaign: and also in re-
gard to her impressions Of the charm
ing effect equal rights seem to have
had upon them. They were delight
ful in conversation, SO animated and
interested in political affairs. and.
above all, SO determined to defeat
their objectionable governor. Politics
were talked every day and everywhere
and precinct meetings beautiful in
their harmony, were held in elegant
parlors. Lists Of unregistered men
and women were distributed among
the workers for personal attention,
which WAS never once neglected.
Even the men conceded that the
women we're the best, most pcrsua-
Siyc workers.
At ward meeting where both
sexes were represented and speeches
made, the intricacics Of the Al'stral-
ian ballot were explained by going
through the form of voting, with
every possible situation which might
arise at the polls brought up as an
object lesson. Women sWcllcd the
numbers Of the torchlight processions
and half filled the halls when political
meetings weoc held and waved their
handkcrchicfs when the men shouted.

this afternoon gives prominence to
an article in which it is said that it
is rumored that q rapprochcmcnt has

other mcn-Of-War since the signing Of
the treaty Of 1871, which was CON
tirmed by the Paris treaty Of 1866
will shortly be open to the mcn-oi-

st. James Gazette, this matter is the
talk in the diplomatic circles Of scv-
cral Of the capitals Of Europe, and it
is said that, in fact, very little else is
talked about now. The St. James
