re the names of those who will work on election day. We
do more talking out of meeting than in. We rode thirty-five
miles yesterday, and arrived here after six o'clock in the
evening. While Mr. Campbell was taking care of the horse, I
filled out bills before taking off my hat and duster; in
fifteen minutes they were being distributed, and at eight
o'clock I was speaking to a good-sized audience.

On October 1, a monster meeting was held in the Lawrence street
Methodist Church, and was addressed by Lucy Stone, Miss Matilda
Hindman, Mrs. Campbell, and Dr. Avery. The most intense interest
was manifested, and the excellent speeches heartily applauded.

The next day (Sunday) the Rev. Dr. Bliss of the Presbyterian
Church, preached a sermon in his own pulpit, on "Woman Suffrage
and the Model Wife and Mother," in which he alluded to "certain
brawling, ranting women, bristling for their rights," and said
God had intended woman to be a wife and mother, and the eternal
fitness of things forbade her to be anything else. If women could
vote, those who were wives now would live in endless bickerings
with their husbands over politics, and those who were not wives
would not marry."

These utterences brought out many replies. One was in the column
edited by "Mrs. Schlachtfeld," and may perhaps be quoted as a
specimen of her editorial work, such being, as we have intimated,
her one service to suffrage, and that incognito:

One of the daily, dismal forecasts of the male Cassandras of
our time is, that in the event of women becoming emancipated
from the legal thralldom that disables them, they will
acquire a sudden distaste for matrimony, the direful
consequences of which will be a gradual extermination of
homes, and the extinction of the human species. This is an
artless and extremely suggestive lament. In the first
place--accepting that prophecy as true--why will women not
marry? Because, they will then be independent of men;
because in a fair field for competition where ability and
not sex shall determine employment and remuneration, women
will have an equal chance with men for distinction and
reward, for triumphs commercial and professional as well as
