Au Address by Colonel Thompson.

The friends of woman's enfranchisement could but have been gratified at the crowded condition of the Opera House last evening, on the occasion of the first grand mass meeting ever called here in the interest of their cause. And they could not have been otherwise than gratified to have found so great and noble a champion, as the distinguished orator of the evening, the Hon. R. W. •Thompson. However, it was but reasonable to expect that this genial gentleman and orator should espouse the cause of female suffrage, because it is right, and he prides himself on ever being arrayed on that side of every cause that comes up to call out expression of opinion from those learned in law and skilled in the science of government.

O.J.Smith, President of the Woman Suffrage Association, of Terre Haute, presided, and introduced the orator of the evening, the

HON. R. W. THOMPSON,

who proceeded to address the mass of upturned faces before him. He was surprised at the vast number of ladies and gentlemen before hitr, was at a loss how to address them. If as fellow-citizens, they would think he was going to make a political speech if'as ladies and gentlemen, then they would expect a lecture, when in reality he meant to do neither of those things. He had made no public profession of his views of the woman question, but had reflected much and was prepared to state his views after mature deliberation. A spirit of inquiry pervades all classes throughout the land, and the question is whether we shall proceed or retrogade there are two antagonistic ideas striving for the mastery, and it behooves us all to array ourselves either on the one side or the other. Shall the few govern the many,is a question that has ever given rise to strife. The fight over this question has ever been waged, and is waxing stronger and stronger with each succeeding generation. In the formation of the earlier Government the principle was proceeded upon that woman was the inferior of man, and that the.few should govern the many. In those days, men could divorce their wives at pleasure, they recognising woman as inferior to themselves because she introduced siu into the world. In those days women were as much slaves to their husbands as were the negroes to their Southern masters before the emancipation Era. Iu the days of Knighthood in Europe, women were made the especial charge of the Knights of Honor and some women were allowed to wear crowns, and they did better than the men, generally speaking.

The Declaration of Independence in this country makes all men free and equal why not women?

She has an intellect susceptible of the highest attainable culture, and other things being equal, whatever she undertakes to do she can do it in a superior manner to man. [Applauded by the ladies and their gentlemeu attendants.]

Then the great question of the age is, shall women have a voice in making the laws that govern them

The emancipation of the American slave raised him from the degradation of bondage, however ignorant he may have been from circumstance, elevated him to an equality with ourselves, before the law of the land. The tendency throughout the civilized world is toward universal emancipation and the equal rights of all.

Europe is convulsed from center to circumference, through the strife of the many to govern themselves and the few to themselves govern the many. This strife will eventually culminate in a glorious victory for the masses, and that victory will first be s"houted by the people that shall attain the highest degree of mental cultivation. A citizen is entitled to life, liberty and happiness, and woman being a citizen equal to ourselves, shall she not have the right of saying that she shall enjoy her life, liberty and happiness?

It being true that woman can attain as high a degree of intellectuality as men, why withhold from her the right of ballot If this great right be accorded her, then will we rather rise to her level than she sink to our own. '[Applauded.]

Years ago it was considered improper for a woman to attend a political discussion. Well, it was but there has been a change, thanksf to her refining influence. Now, let Women go to the polls to vote and there will be a change for the better there. Let her go to the polls anyhow, if she must go to a place separate from the men. [Great applause.]

The speaker spoke at great length, and was warmly received throughout. When he had ceased Speaking the Hon. R. S. Tennant offered the following

Resolved,

Tue^day I*6 wVU have the world raal school will prosper until It uhq,U be jeuownftddelineatorotTennyeou'sEnGeh' 1 the pride of all ImliaBifHia who love

JEtua Fire Insnrance Co.—I wish to state to the people that the JEtna Fire Insurance Company settled my loss with promptness, and I think that in these times, while cards are appearing in our daily papers, displaying a great deal of dissatisfaction regarding the manner of adjusting losses by insurance companies, that it is due the iEtna from me, to say that nothing of an unpleasant character has transpired, but all done In a clear, business-like manner. (I held their policy, my property burned, and they paid the loss.) This card is unsolicited by the agents of the JEtna, all know who they are, and their manner of doing business, so no comment is needed from me. 7dl P. MILLIGAN.
