A matter that has occupied their attention 1s whether or not Gov.

Foraker will not present Mr. Sherman's name. “It has been a question between him and Representative Grosvenor, who is one of Mr. Sherman’s most ardent supporters. A Srax reporter asked Mr. Grosvenor this morn- ing how he thought the thing would be settled. He repited that he thought neither of them wouid make Une presentation, He sald he knew he would hot make the speech himSelf, and he did not think the governor would.

He hastened to add, however, that the friends of Mr. Sherman had no wat of coniidence in Governor Foraker, and his failure to make the presentation jould be of his own volition, The governor, he id, Would not be party Lo any move to secure the nomination for bitaself, and that the Ohio dele- gation would be united'and would never weaken in their support of Mr. Sherman. He said that there appeared no Indication of a concentration Of strength upon any other candtaate, and that within the past few days here have been marked evidences of a general movement in favor of Mr. Sherman’s nomination.

Mrs. Stanton’s Address of Welcome. SPEECHES BY FOREIGN DELEGATES. -_—— ‘The Internationa’ Council of Women openod form- ally to-day. The features of the gathering that tmost impressed one who stood outside Albaugh’s Opera House as the women were assembling were ‘gossamers, rubbers, and umbrellas. The delegates came to the opera house through a cold, shivering March rain that turned to ice on the sidewalks, In the lobby of the theater they stopped to re- move their damp waterproof, and there one got ‘another impression, and that was that the gath- ering was, taken as a whole, exceedingly. well- dressed. A composite photograph of the council would produce the figure of a woman rather comely of face and figure, about forty years of age, with a good com- Flexion.” ‘There ‘are ‘tuaay matroniy figures. ahd gray heads in the council, but the large nuraber ot YOUTHFUL AND PRETT€ REFORMERS will pull the average down to the middie line of life. There are, of course, some reform of the old-fashioned, strong-minded type, thi! and angular, but the abundance of matrons of good coinfortable figure, suffices to give the com- posite an agreeable plumpness and to prevent the angular maidens from doing any sertons damay to the outlines, Tue resultant gure, too, will dressed on the vet Of richness. ‘There are some sober-looking ladies, in plain Quaker garb; some young Women whose ease of movement and lack of bustles*indicate their adherence to the principles of dress-reform, but as a whole the gathering is remarkably handsomely dressed, Rich furs, shimmering silks, luxurious velvets and soft, meliow veivets predominate. Jewels fash from many throats, and bonnets are trimmed and hair aressed fashionably and becomingly.

About 10 o'clock members of the committee of ar- rangements and regularly accredited delegates be- an assembling on thestage and taking their seats ‘on the plush-covered chairs and sofas arranged in semi-circular form. When the ladies caine upon the Stage many of them removed their bonnets | and wi ‘Mrs. Stanton sat with brs. Gage on a sofa in front with a little table before her. Miss Anthony came in, removed her bonnet and fur cir- cular and donned’a bright red shawl. Mrs. Blake, Mrs. Sewall, and a score of ‘other weil known American women were assembled about Mrs. Stanton. Mrs. Dilke, Mrs. Gustafson, ‘Miss Gripenberg and the other foreign delegates Were also assembled on the stage. ust before the proceedings opened three men— the only men who appeared on the stage, and they occupied the humble capacity of “supes"— came ou, bearing a great pyramidal floral piece, which Was put On the table in frout of Mrs Stan. ton.

MISS ANTHONY OPENS THE MEETING. ‘Miss Anthony then stepped forward, raised her hand and restored silence. “I have been waiting,” she said, “for quite a while for the gavel, but I see yau have sounded it yourselves so we will go ahead.” ‘Then she referred to the call for tue council. ‘Tne specific purpose of calling it this year and in this country was, she said, that just 40 years ago the first convention of women called by Women Was held in this country. ‘They would open with prayer by Kev. Antoinette Brown Blackwell, who Was the frst woman ever orda.ned to the ministry in this country, and she believed in the world. Mrs. Blackwell then advanced to the table, and placing her hands upon tt, ifted up her tace, closed her eyes, and offered ‘prayer. Her prayer ‘was an eloquent appeal for justice, and for the Wine wisdom. guidance of Miss Anthony then rising said that before ad- aressing the audience she ‘wished to address the Stage. “Thea turning. her back: she. admonished the ladies on the piatform under no circumstances to whisper or rustle papers while any one was speaking. This little speech pleased the audience and Was greeted with applause. Miss Anthony then executed a “right about face” and said she as going to introduce Mrs. Elizabeth Boynton Harvert to read the hymn with which they would opea, She would ask Mrs. Harbert to read It not only because she was the author of it but because Mrs. Harbert’s eyes were better than her own, Mrs, Harbert then came forward and read a hymn written by her for the council, entitled “THE PROMISED LAND.” ‘She said she had given it this title because this morning they now entered the promised land with their Moses and Joshua—and she waved her hand toward Mrs. Stanton and Miss Anthony, She then read the byron, which isin three stanzas, begin- hing with the words: “Our rary years of wandering o'er ye wreet With oy this Tadiaut sero; ‘The promised land of liberty.

Miss Anthony then came forward again. The call for the meeting forty years ago, she sald, if she remembered rightly, had no signatures to it; but nevertheless the ‘two moving spirits, in originating and carrying on the work, were those tenes Mott, the sainted Lucretia Mott, and Elizabeth Ci Stanton, Who was with them to- day. ‘she referred in” passing to the progress made in forty yeara.

HOW WOMEN WOULD vorR. ‘The question is continually asked, 1f women had the rigat of suffrage how would they vote on na- Uonal questions? I think I might venture to say | that the women on this platform would all be op- posed to war. As to the much-vexed question of | the fisheries we would say, in view of our vust At- jantic and Pacific coast, thousands of miles in ¢ ave three miles of the ocean if she needs it, If the cod 4s the bone of conten- | Won, as itis the poorest of all fish, let the Cana- | dians eat tt in peac | suad, bass and tue delicate salmon trom our Western lakes and California. So long as we have oysters, Among other questions now up for consideration we should probably be of one mind, As to a treaty with Russia, to send back her political prisoners to be tortured In her prisons and the inines of Siberia, our Verdict would be no, no America inust ever be the great university, in which the lovers freedom may “bately graduate with highest honors, and under our flag jad peace and protection. "The able statement by Stephiak, a Russian niluilst, laid betore our Sen- ate, should be carefuliy read’ by all of us, that our influence may be used intelligently against all treaties, compromising, as they would, tue honor ung the right of free’ speech and ‘the criticisin of their the people. As to _ inter. national copyright, we should no doubt say, let us. have a law to UlaU effect, by all incaus, because 16 1s fair and honest, Moreover, since We now have our Own historians, philosoptiers, scientists, poets and novelists, and England steals as auch {roa us 8 We do frou her, 1 1s evident Unat sound policy ‘and common honesty He in the same direction. AS Lo the overflowing Treasury that troubles tte con- Scleuce of our good Presiden, our wisest women Would undoubtedly say, pay thé national debt and lighten tae taxes on the shoulders of the 16bo: Aug inasses. AS to amendments of the Cot stitution now asked for by a body of the clergy and some reformers, to. recoynize the Chrisuan theology in the Constitution and in. ice Tel 18 Into political parties and Platorms, in violation of 5, ‘clause 3, Of the National Coustitution, I thtnk the Majority in our woman suffrage Associations would be opposed to all such amendments, as they would destroy the secular nature of our gov- ernment, so carefully guarded by our fatuers the foundation of the _repno- freedom all ecclesiastical entanglements Isone of the chief glortes ot our gov- exament aud one of the chief elements of Its su cess.

If the majority of Women on the suffrage platform would vote thus wisely on five questions, they may show equal wisdom on others that may cote Up for future legislation. WHEN WOMAN'S VOICE IS HEARD. ‘On questions of land, labor, prohibition, and Protection there would no doubt amongst us be many differences of opinion. But I think we should all agree that that system of political econ- omy that secures the greatest blessings to the reatest number must be the true one, and those fawe Which guard most sacredly the interests of the many rather than the few we should vote for. When woman's voice fs heard in government our Jaws Will be touched with some emotion, our legis- lation become more humane, and judg- ments in our courts tempered’ with mere} Surely the mothers who rocked the cradle of thi Republic may be safely trusted to sustain their sires and sons 1M all their. best efforts to establish in the new world a government in which the Sound principles of our Constitution and Declara- Uon of Independence may be fully realized, in which there ‘shall be no privileged classes, but ual rights for all. Under a government and areligton recognizing in rational beings the rights of conscience and judg- ment in matters pertaining to thelr own interests, above all authority of church and state, it needs ‘no argument to prove the sacredness of individual rights, the dign.ty of individual responsibilities. ‘The solitude of every human soul, alike in our 1n0- ments of exaltation and humiliation, in our hi est Joys and deepest, sorrows, into which no 0 one'can ever fully enter, proves our birthright to Supreme self-sovereignty. AS in ull the great emergencies of fe we must stand alone, aud for from final “judgment rely upon ourselves, we cannot Gverestimate the nectelty for thee Uberty. by which we attain our highest development and that Knowledge that Mts Us for self-reliance and self SPONTANEOUS ORATORY. ‘Mrs, Stanton, at several points in her address, drifted away from her manuscript and sailed out into the realm of spontaneous oratory. At such {times she always got applause. She said she could ‘ot fully agree with Miss Anthony as to the degree ot women bad attained. ‘They were by ‘RO means 80 near obt some women that wo eld i i National Woman's Association, of gland, signed, among others, by Annie @ sister-in-law of John letter from Priscilla of John Bi introdncing de Anthony then introduced the'three English delegates—Mrs. Soatcherd, Mrs. Chant and Mrs. Dilke—and each made a little speech. ‘Mrs. Scatcherd said laughingly that some ne were afraid of what American women might do. She was not afraid, for if. American women ad- vanced a great deai, the women of ber land would benefit a little. One permanent result of the great counsel would be to draw closer together the hearts of all women of all lands, The women of Great Brivatn, she owe as much to the Women of the Bright tamfiy, as the men of Great Britain owe to the men of the Bright tamily. | Mrs. ‘Chant also spoke in @ pleasant velo. Miss An- thony Introduced Mrs Diike, as “Mrs, Margaret Dilke,” saying that since coming to America tney had already taught her not to cail herself “Mrs. John Dilke,” or “Mrs, Dike.” Mrs, Dilke said she thanked them sincerely for the splendid reception they had received. "She Was extremely glad to have the opportunity of joining hands with American women. It was the eaired to bring: more especlly €0 the democracy ing more rac. of this country. ‘Mrs. Gustafson was introduced, and in her re- marks said her association considered that Woman Suffrage Was the only hope of woman. YROM CANADA, ‘Mrs. Starr Keefer, of Canada, was called out. She said she did not know exactly what she repre- sented, From Mrs. Stanton’s speech she presumed she represented the codfish. She would ike to ‘Say that the codfish of Canada would just as soon be eaten on this side of the line a8 the other. Mrs. Keefer introduced Mrs. McDonald, of To- Tonto, president of the Toronto W. C. T. U., as the Woman to Whom the women of Canada owed the fact that today the unmarried women and wid- ows of Canada have a voice in municipal govern- ment. Mrs. McDonald, however, did not 3 but disclaimed, through Miss Antnony, all the credit tor securing the passage of the laws referred to by Mrs. Keefer. A LITTLE BIT OF TANKESISN. “Now,” said Miss Anthony, “I want to give you alittle specimen of *Yankeeism.’” She then in- troduced Mrs. Lucy Stone, who met an ovation like that given Mra Stanton. Mrs. Stone said she would make her speech ‘at the time it was an- nounced in the program on the pioneer day, and merely expressed her pleasure at being present at this gathering. Miss Authouy referred to Mrs. Lucy Stone and her work among pioneers. “Don’t make any mis- take,” sald Miss Anthouy laughing, “about my Deing a pioneer I atm still a very young person.” She ‘said she Bad been converted by reading a Speech made by Lucy Stone at one of the early qmectings. In this speech Mrs. Stone sald that all there Was to @ married woman was to have her name put on her tombstone as Mrs. Jolin Smith,” or something like that. Miss Anthony did hot remember it exactly, aud appealed to Mrs. Stone, who, rising, sald that all there was left of a mafried Woman’ when sue died ‘Was the 1uscription on her tombstone that she Was Uhe relict of Somebody who had bwned her. SHE WOULD NOT BE A “RELICT.” “That was it,” said Miss Anthony, drolly. “I Sort of made up my mind then that I wouldn't be the relict of anybody.” This sally of Miss An- thony, at herself, provoked great laughter, MISS WILLARD'S REMARES. Miss Anthony then called out Miss Willard, Whom she addressed familiarly as Frances. Miss Willard also disclaimed, laughingly, that she was a pioneer, “I remember,” she sald, “when I was dreadfully afraid 0; Susan, aud of Lucy, too. but now I love and honor tuose women. If tey had not Mayed the trees and pioneered the way, we Would Lever have dared to come at all.” FREDERICK DOUGLASS. Somebody called for Dougiass, and then it was discovered that Mr, Frederick Douglass dad stolen in and was sitting at the back of the stage. Miss Anthony made Mr. Douglass come forward ana inake a speech, “I had no expectation,” he said, “of being callea upon at chis hour to offér one word. I am looking forward to the day or the evening of the pioneers. Having had tie pleasure or the privilege of being present at that —memorabie first convention, I suall be very glad to say something respecting them and respecting It, “Tshall say now that I rejotes to see Unis to- Gay; 1 congratulate myself ‘first and you, this audience, next,and T rejoice above all things to See Mrs, Stantén ip this chair to-day, and rejoice and give her joy that after these tempestuous iorty years she is enabled tw see the spectacle here to-day, and the one she saw yesterday 1 won't speak’ of.” MRS. JULIA WARD BOWE AND HER RYMN. Mrs, Julia Ward Howe was next introduced, Re- ferring to Miss Anthony's resolution of celebac; She said that about the time she took the valorous Stand that she would not be any one’s relict, she (Mrs, Howe,) placed herself beside a hero. When Ars. Howe Sat down some one onthe stage started her great hymn, “The Battle Hymn of tae Repub- lic.” ‘Every one dp the stage and elsewhere rose and following the | out the hymn with much spint., Sirs Matilda Sosiyn Gage, Clara. Barton and Robert Purvis were calied ‘out and made to speak a few words of greeting. THE COMMITTER ON PEKMANENT ORGANIZATION. Miss Anthony then announced as the committee on permanent organization, to consider the ad- visabllity ‘of having regularly organized na- tional and international councils, the following: Miss Frances Willard, Mrs. Richardson, Rev. Ada . Bowles, Mra, Louise Thomas, Clara B: Rachel G, Foster, Mary F. Eastman, May Wright Sewall, Martha R.
