New Yomx, May 27, 1673 THE MAY ANNIVERSABIES. It used to be the custom for all the “isms" and * ologies™ in tho country to send delegates to New York every year in May, to celebrate their reapective anniversaries, and discuss such ques- tions as they considered of vital importance to their and the Dation’s prosperity. During the holding of these grand pow-wows, the doors of the hospitable Knickerbockers wére thrown open, and all who came duiy accredited, either e pariicipants or observers, received a warm. and hearty welcome. The differént. halls and churches of the city were crowded day after day with people loyal to the doctrines advooated, ot attracted by the fame of the speakers, or tho the novelty of the theories - thoy _ad- vancod. The nowspapers, too, vied with each other in giving ex- tanded reparts of the sayings and doings of tko distingnished strangers ; for, as they were gen- erally representative men and women of the different organizations, théir speeches wero of the most pestilent and incendiary character, ag well as of the mildest and most conservative type, and were esgerly sought after by all class- es. But our tastes and habits change. .The ways of our fathers are not our ways. The things that interested them po&sess no atirac- tions forus. And the May anniversaries are be- coming rapidly obsolete. Those who attend them are permitted to go quietly to their hotels and boacding-houses. Tha general public cares nothing about them, =and the newspapers disposs of them in & few brief paragrzphs, which the average reader scarcely notices. This year the ripple made upon the social current of New York by the influx of anniversary delegates wez g0 slight 28 not to be perceptible. Even those gal- 1ant combatants for citizenship and the ballot, THE WOMAN-SUFPRAGE FOLES, failed to hold their annual conventions. To be sure, Susan B. Anthony, and a few of the irre- presmbles who take considerable etock in her, had » small meeting at Apollo Hall one day, and adopted s seriea of regolutions denouncing Grant and the Republican pu—ty for having decoived them. But the Boston wing, in which sze all the ablest men and women of the cause, for some reason failed to favor us with a visit. And, when I lookedinon the handfulof tame and epiritless damscls gathered about Sussn, and compared them with the earnest, hopefal crowds that du'onzerl the platforms at both Apollo and Bteinway three years ago, when the two winge were holding conventions at tho same time, I mled o resiine that any material progress had been made since then in the woman-suffrage movement. At that time, He: ‘ard Beecher, George William' Curtis, T. W. "Zn%mm Mary A YLivermore, Julia Ward Howe, Grace Greoa- wood, and dozens of others almost as distin- Emah made able and d'gzl, nent speoches at teinway ; while, at Apollo Victoria Wood- eodore 'Tilton, Elizabeth Cady Sten- and a ‘score lesser _ligh forth in earnest and forcible ads ides, Laat fall, both .| wings struck hands in opposing the Liberal movement ; and, with the exception of Aana Dickinson, who: xongm bravely for Greeloy, every ‘prominent talking or writing woman in the coun- B har tover bost. 1, peoure tho slection of Grant ; and it may be they so completely ex-~ hn\mwd themselves by their efforts, and aro 8o thoraughly disgusted with the object of their idolatry for having, since his election, gons back on them, that their ardor for the el chice~ ment of woman has somewhat abated. II. the cause has made headway lately, there is cortainly 1o evidenceof the fact by an increase of woman- mnnge conventions, or by a prosperous growth WOMAN-SUPYRAGE ORGANE. Three or four years ago, the Revolotion, Wood- hull & Claflin's Weekly, and the Woman's Jour- nal were exciting considerable interest, and cre- ating quite s sensation in tho jomnumc field. But how is it to-dsy? Let us examine their po- sition and standing: Tho Kevolution was started by Miss Anthony and Mrs. Stanton, and was fox a time edited by them; but, a8 neither of them agessed ANy ‘editorial q cations, it grew 8Q Intensely stupid under their control' that they eventually discovered they were not calculatod to run s paper, and retired from the mansge- task, was then, - cept the Adlmmp ;. but, after n {ew montha’ kru.l, she relinguished ’it, and Mrs, Laura’ Bullard ~tried her hand at edit- Under the plea of ill-bealth, she, too, soon sad the paper bec bec.m the property of the pubuuhm of the I Christian, who per- suaded the Rev. W. T. CLuk nt{re!ant the lead- ing editorial wnter of the Grap to become ita editor. Clark is & brilliant wntur, and knowa how to make a readablo paper, but he found in a ahort time that it was impossible to infuse now 1ife into the drooping Retolution, and more than a year ago it ceased to exist. Woodhull & Claf- Ein's Weekly was always an advocate of frec-love, spiritualism, and nastiness; but, after the death oF the Revolution, Miss_Anthony, and & number of the women who were its most zealous patrons, rallisd around Mrs. Woodhull, put her prom:- nently formard ns leader of their wing of tho woman's suffrage movement, and .for & time gave her . Weekly - some promi- pence and Tespectability. A rumpus, how- ever, soon occurred in the camp; ‘Woodhull and Olaflin incurred the displeasure of Susan and her set, and they withdrew their u;%pm from the Weekly, which has again mh into tha orgsa of free-love, pure and mm since ta publication of the Beecher-Ti iton u:lndnl. foz whu:h its publishers wers arrested and imprison- has had so many obstacles to contendagainst bty blmly ‘manages to exist. 'The Woman's Journal, for year or more after its removal from Chicago to Boston, waa edited quite ably by Mary A.
