gly interesting description of
her tour through Wyoming, her hour and a half conversation in the
cars with Gov. Campbell, whose testimony was positive in favor of
all the new privileges given to women, by which Wyoming has
distinguished herself. Mrs. Woolson came home happy to have for
the first time set her foot on Republican soil; "for," said she,
"no State in the Union is a republic, but it is to me an absolute
monarchy."

Rev. CELIA BURLEIGH, demonstrated that this Government is not a
republic, but an aristocracy so long as the suffrage is denied to
woman.

Mrs. MARY A. LIVERMORE found much encouragement for the cause in
various signs of the times. She would have women act as if they
already bore the responsibilities of voters; would have them put
off frivolity and every other cause of offense to opponents, and
put on a soberness of spirit and a gracious gravity of mien as
behooved those in whose hearts a great work lay. She exhorted
them to remember that they were not arrayed against men as foes,
but that they were working with fathers, brothers, husbands and
sons for the best interests of the whole race.

An audience of at least 1,200 persons was present at the closing
session.

The following letter from Miriam M. Cole was read:

OTTERBEIN UNIVERSITY, WESTERVILLE, O., Oct. 4, 1873.

DEAR MR. BLACKWELL--Much as I wish to be with you the 13th
and 14th, I can not. My work in the University can not be
given to another, and I have no right to leave it undone. I
hope your meeting will be profitable and successful. It is
said, "Interest in woman suffrage is dying out." This is not
true, so far as I know. There is more sober, candid talk on
the subject in private circles, here in Ohio, than ever
before. Our students in the University are asking questions,
with a desire for intelligent answers, and at home, in
Sydney, before I left, many experienced politicians
confessed it to be the one thing needful. I am sure it is
gaining ground among our quiet, sensible people. The stir
may not be so demonstrative in cities as formerly, but
through the country there is a general awakening. If we can
only have patience to wait, we shall not be disappoint
