well as the
Governor, expressed great interest in the question of woman's
suffrage. The Governor, with many others, subscribed for _The
Revolution_.

From Madison we returned to Chicago. At Janesville, Wis., the
Postmaster, Mr. Burgess, came on board on his way to Washington.
In the course of conversation we learned that there had been some
trouble in that town about the post office, and it was finally
decided to submit the matter to a vote of the people. The result
was that Miss Angeline King, Mr. Burgess's opponent, was chosen
by fifty majority. This was a bomb shell in the male camp, and
half a dozen men started for Washington, to show General Grant
that they had, one and all, done braver deeds during the war than
Angie possibly could have done, and that their loyalty should be
rewarded. Angie, like a wise woman, stole the march on all of
them, and reached Washington before they started. If the people
of Janesville prefer Angie, as they have shown they do by their
votes, we think it would be well for the powers that be to
confirm the choice of the people.

In Chicago, we were glad to meet again our charming friend, Anna
Dickinson. Miss Anthony spent the day with her at Mr. Doggett's
one of the liberal merchant princes of that city. The result of
that day's cogitation was one of the most cutting speeches that
the "Gentle Anna," as the _Tribune_ called her, ever made. It was
a severe, but just criticism of all the twaddle of the Western
press after the Chicago Woman's Suffrage Convention. Liberty Hall
was crowded with a most enthusiastic audience, and although the
press was not very complimentary the next day, the people who
listened were delighted. She was advertised to give "Fair Play,"
but the West is tired of the negro question, and she was besieged
on all sides to speak on woman, which she did with great effect.

GALENA, March 3.

DEAR REVOLUTION:--As you look at the date, your patriotic heart
will palpitate to think that the women of _The Revolution_ have
taken possession of the home of the President, and propose to
hold a Woman Suffrage Convention right under the very shadow of
his flagstaff, peering up beside one ch
