of the Manhassett Steamship Company's
pier, who urged the members of the asso-
citation to stand by their leader in the

that could be construed as rejecting upon
the act Of Mayor Fagan, between whom
and ca. Diskins n d fight to the finish

third term nomination, he strongly urged
the association to support its standard

Criticism Answered At the

Yesterday.
Especial to ..The Jersey CITY News. =


ATLANTIC CITY. June I, 1885,.
The library Of the Chalfonte was crowd
ed yesterday with ladies Interested in the
club movement The occasion was the
conference Of presidents and the conven-
ton of the advisory board of the General
Federation of Women's Clubs.
Woman's work in every phase was dis
cussed and progress III sociological, edu-
cational and economic movements backed
by women or undertaken By them was
reported. Many Of the women speakers
took occasion to refer TO the views Of for
mer President Cleveland expressed re-
Gently IN regard to the work Of the gen
eral federation and TO urge that such crit
iciSms should be met with statements
showing the scope and power Of the club
women.
The following sentences from Mr..
Cleveland's article are those which have
reused the club women:
''The real difiieulty and delicacy Of our
topic becomes most apparent when we
como 10 speak Of the less virulent and
differently directed club movements that
have crossed the even tenor of the way of
womanhood. ] do not include those
movements which amount to nothing

ture and best impulses. speak more
especially of the woman's clubs Of an en-
tirely different sort which have grown up
in all sections of our land, and which have
already become so numerous that in the
interests of their consolidated manage
ment a national federation Of women's
clubs. has been created.
There is probability that before
the convention is closed Mr.. Cleveland
win emerge from Princeton long enough
to explain in person his criticism Of the
federation He has been officially i'm
vited by the advisory committee, through
Mrs. Charles B. Yardley, to come to this
place and see for himself the body Of
women he scored 50 comprehensively
If he accepts this invitation he viii be
shown mildly that the federation stands
for better education industrial and So
Geological conditions in this country. IF
he fails to put in an appearance it is ru-
nlored that several Of the women are
going to say some enlightening things
about him and other critics of the club
movement.
This is the first gathering of the Gem
eral Federation since Mr.. Cleveland's
opinion was published. and from all sides
women were heard protesting against il.
Many feel that the criticism should be
ignored bnt the majority urge that some
thing ought to be done to set Mr.. Cleve-
land and Others Of his opinion right
about the objects Of the federation.

uel D. Dickinson Association has ocea-
stoned surprise among the friends Of Col
Dickinson who had hoped that the two
men who had been political friends for

was nothing else that Mr.. Fry could do
He had been snubbed at the Dickinson

manhood asserted itself and While othes
men who are with Mayor Pagan III the

would NOT permit him to mingle with per-
sons who to curry favor with the party

was loud in his praise Of Pforr's re-

would be taken care Of Friends of
