tended to them. In his opinion the signs
Of the times warranted him in prophesying
that In some of the states at least women
will have the chance of voting in the presi-
Dental election of 1900.
Following Mr.. Blackwell several of the
delegates made informal reports Of what
had been done in this line during the past
year In their respective states. One of
the strongest arguments against giving the
right of suffrage to women, it was pointed
out, was made out Of the claim that women
as rule do not exercise the right to vote
for school officers, etc, wherever they
possess it, This claim they said, was not
well founded, but even SO, it was urged
that women should take the fullest ad-
vantage of their opportunities and prevent
the men politicians from making use of
this argument.
The Legislative Committee.
Mrs Lille Devereux Blake reported for
the legislative committee, giving a number
of valuable hints and suggestions to the
delegates on the matter Of conducting cam
paigns against state legislatures in the bat
tie for suffrage. She argued that suffrag e
societies can accomplish most when they
are organized along political lines.
Mrs. Blake supplemented her report with
paper entitled Legislative Advice" say
ing, in part:
"At the annual meeting of the Nationa.
American Woman Suffrage Association,
held at Atlanta Ga, in February, 1895 a
committee on legislative advice was ap-
pointed. This committee was formed for

Saturdays Late Meetings.
AT the meeting of the Suffrage conven-
ton Saturday afternoon the committee ON
the plan of work for 1895 presented Its re-
port. The committee recommended thai
the standing committee on organization,
nominated by the business committee and
elected by the convention, be continued
that each lecturer employed by that COM
mittee be given the right, to stand as an

affairs the committee suggested that s1O,.

this year, and that such amount can be
raised with proper effort.
In connection with the report of the com
m:ttee Miss Anthony read a letter which
has been sent to the suffrage clubs in fit

Among these are laws to secure: School suf-
frage for women, women on boards of educa-
ton and as school trustees, equality OF prop
erty rights for men and women, whether
married or single, the joint guardianship Of
children equal rights for mother and Ia
Their: women as factory inspectors, women

lums women trustees in all state institu-
tons, police matrons, seats for salesWomen,
the raising of the age of consent
while the campaign is in progress, petit
tions praying for the passage of the pend
ing measures should be circulated in each
legislative district, and sent to the member
representing 1t in senate or assembly for
presentation to those bodies. Special petit
lions signed by the most influential people
in the district are of great effect when
sent directly to a man who is known to be
vavering urging him personally to vote
for the bill. Letters should also be written
to the members by friends or strangers.
For general agitation, all women who
desire their political freedom should send
individual petitions to the legislature ask
ing for their own political liberty.
"Strict watch should be kept on all legis-
lative action. and protests should be sent
In, when any laws are proposed inimical to
the rights of women. Especially bills pro-
posing to change the statutes :egulating
marriage and divorce should be looked af-
ter, and the demand made that they be re-
ferred to a commission composed Of per-
sc ms of both sexes"
Rev. Anna II. SHAW introduced, by re-
quest, a resolution recommending that the
common council of Philadelphia be petit
toned to set apart room in old Indepen-
dence Hall to be used as headquarters for
the suffrage association. The resolution
was received with enthusiasm but of ne
