0th. appears ti letter purporting to be from a "looker-on" at our late Woman Suffrage Convention, the purpose of which is to willfully misrepresent the sentiments of the people of ('ruwfordsville. We are Sony to lie again compelled to speak of this matter, as what we have said hereto-
Oeneral Wallace was invited by the Suffrage Association, several days before the Convention convened. to be present and speak on that occasion. The reply was that he "would be out of town." IIow-i ever, he was present, and at a time when there was an invitation given to any one in the audience who had arguments or objections to offer, to favor us with them, there were cries from the audience of "Wallace," ••Wallace."' and at this suggestion ieneral Wallace was invited by the Chair to speak, but declined Later in the afternoon session a like opportunity was offered, and the people seeming to think that if General Wallace was capable of making up his mind about the matter they would like to know what it was. again cried for "Wallace." who was again invited by the Chair. He accepted the invitation for the evening session "if they would allow him time, and it should be understood that he was not

Ave deemed that duty demanded it, we gave il as a truthful' report of the •Convention. However, as "Lookeron" thinks it best to rush into print about it. he must remember that it is just in our line of business, and we, having no aspirations Congress-ward, are not afraid to ••define" our position.
Again. ''Looker-on", claims that '•the entire thing was a failure." When Wabash College suspends recitations for one da\r, so that students and faculty may both attend a political convention. and when, as "Looker-on" himself admits. "the church was full, and great crowds around the windows outside," and when the treasurer reports, as the result, plenty of money in the treasuiy, does it look like a failure
It has been said that we "ought not to charge an admission fee at the door,'* "that's not the way men do," and "that is not the way to hold a convention." Gentlemen, we do not propose to hold conventions as 3Tou do. Such convocations are necess.ivily attended with expense, and the usual method of obtaining means to meet these expenses is to charge an admission fee at the evening sessions, the day sessions being free. This, for man}* reasons, we believe to be the true method of levying the tax. One reason is, that men always have been and stiil artf the purse-holders, so that if two or three women euoose

The purpose for which this Convention met was the discussion of woman suffrage. the Sixteenth Amendment to the Constitution of lhe I'nited States, and our inalienable right to the ballot, granted us by our forefathers in their grand Declaration of .Independence, but which has been withheld from us by men. This the General entirely ignored, and went off into what he, no doubt, deemed a learned and "elaborate digest of the The following is a copy of a letter -Higlits of Married Women Under) received by a friend of oui the Laws of Indiana." ever holding needs no answer up triumphantly the divorce law. the O, vain woman, why will von per darkest stain on our State andthejsist in forging the chains that will, aw bavi one which has made il the laughing-1 ere long, bind you down forever in stock of the world, as the

At this interruption the President called the house to order and said that "we had invited General Wallace to speak and we should hear him respectfully." And so he "went on," and "went on." At one time venturing the remark that "there never were two women of the same opinion," the President interrupted him, to say that Mrs. Stanton and Mrs. Livermore were examples to the contrary, and he in a mimicking voice sneered at her.

Candidates who run for oflice on our ticket will find this a decided stroke of political economy, as they will not be fleeced to the utmost farthing to pay all these evanescent and ever increasing expenses so that if elected the poor man is compelled to steal from the government or turn defaulter to hold his own and if defeated, he is a bankrupt for years. This? state of things nuts the 'power entirely in the hands of the capitalist, and makes our government not a government of the people.Jmt of thef moneyed interests.
