Virginia L, Minor yesto entertained at her residenco, No. Olivo street, the woll-known ieader of the women's suffrage agitation, Miss Susan B, Anthony, who has just end. ed her campaign labors, which, though not productive of a very succesafal result, hae by no means dishoartened her. Oa the contrary, she expressed herself as well pleased with the result, which had indicated a growth in the strength of tho organization and had also taught the lesson that the right which they are seeking to obtain is not to be secured by an appeal to the masses, but rather by following up the original plan of securing the adoption of the Sixteenth amendment to the constitution, to the effect that “‘citizans shall not be denied the right to vote on account of sex.” “‘We ahall urge the adoption of this resolutivn with renewed vigor,” said Miss Anthony, “now that we know that we can never obtain our rights by appeal to the popular vote. Thls is the ground upon which the move- ment has stood for the past seventeen yeara; here wo now stand and pro- pose to remain until the fight is won. It may take twenty years before the different states will ratity, but every state secured will be a fixed advance- ment of the cause, In going to the legislature to secure the submission of the question to the popular vote the disadvantage exists that if the popu- lar wote is adverse the whole work goes for nothing; on the other hand, a constitutional amendment once be- fore congress never goes back again.” “To what do you attribute the fail- ure in the Nebraska election?” ‘‘To the combined opposition of sev- eral classes of people—the negroes,the foreigners, the whisky men and the ignorant natives — and the press, which was almost to a newspaper in the control of those opposed to us. The anti-prohibitienists opposed us of course, as they knew that the temper- ance’and woman suffrage. movements are inseparable. One-third of the voters of Nebraska are foreigners, and they were afraid we would take their beer ai from them. And then the opponii. sewriae ol st o ax: ienta' to’ honest vm A large majority of the tickets issued by bot% parties contained the words ‘Against the amendment’ only, and in some cases these words were insert- ed in the middle of the ticket, while the space at the foot was left blank, the object being to deceive voters, which was accomplished. Daspite these and other fraudulent devices the vote was a stronger one than the movement has hitherto secured in a state. Tho vote in favor of weman suffrage has hitherto been one out of three; judging by the returns already in the vote in Nebraska promises to be at tho rate of two for women suf- frage to three against it.’ “‘You had a pretty lively campaign?” ‘‘Yes; the state was very thorough- ly canvassed by the association and a vigorous opposition spurred all our speakers on to efforts which surprised me. There were twelve speakers in all, and they spoke in some four hun- dred places, (Grand rallies were held the larger cities and the county s, of which I visited forty, and great interest was taken in the pro. ceedings, especially by the women, whose courage in ‘marking their ap- preciation of what was said was re- markable, I remarked during the cawpaign that & plain, homely illus- tration is the best means of bringing the truth to the people. Kor instance, by way of appealing to the self inter- est of the people, I stated the sup- posed case of neighboring farming families, each ocoupying a square mile of country. Here was an of five sons, there a man of five daughters, and further on a widow with five daughters, Now, if the question of bonding the couty arose and a differ- ence of opinfon existed, the first equare mile would containaix voters, the second one only, and the third none at all, This ilustration had a good effect in the agriculvural commau- nittes." “‘I believe Miss Phoebe Couzins dis- tinguished herself in the campaign?"’ “‘She won laurels wherever lgewant and, had the press only given honest reports of the work done, this would have been apparent to the whole state, It was very unfortunate that upon the ocoaston of her last appearance she should have misunderstood the char- acter of her audience and given them an opportunity to display their feel- ing, but I don’t want to be understood as criticising her, Far from it; dur- ing the whole campaign she did splend- idly and the error in judgment lay not in what she said as in the charact- or of the audience before which she said it, Besides the report of tho af- fair made in the Omaha papers were grossly distorted and exaggerated. The only paper which supported us was The Omaha Republican, and that changed its policy toward the close of the campaign, Oane of its writers was sentenced to elght months in the house of correction for grand larceny, The hus- band was charead with being acosssory And placed under §300 bail for the next term of court, but lster was allowed to go on own recognizance. He immediately loft the city. More universally recommended than any proprief medicine made. A sure and reliable toale, Brown’s Iron Bitters, gave & fair account of Miss Couzins' speech, but it was not published. Alluding to » goubli- cation 1n the OMauA Bkg, she used the expression, ‘the pup who wrote that article,’ and the words were fol- lowed by a storm of hisses. At this meeting the stateraent was made that o |8ult of her labors in the west, and of the city oalled out, ‘False as hell!’ A gontleman rebuked the mayor for using the vile expression, when the Intter objected to any one's finding fault with him, and called upon a pol- fcoman to put the gentloman out, which was done.” Miss Anthony deolared again that sho was by no means disheartened by the result in Nebraska, which wes lplly as advantageous as sho had wn ticipated, She stated that she was going to leava on the eovening train for Washington, where she would re sume her labors for the Sixteenth amendment, PHEBR'S PHILLIPIC, Speoial to Chicago Times. 81, Lovis, November 22, —Susan B Anthony, the great advocate and de fender of woman's rights, arrived hero this morning fresh from the campnis of the' Woman's National Suffeage as- nociation in Nebraska, She says tho does not feel discouraged over the re- alleges that in the battle for suffrage she has had to fight the foreigner, the whisky element and the negro, She adda; *‘There is, in fact, no other way of dealing with intomperance than by legislation, and the anti-pro- hibitionists, realizing that they have a formidable foe in the woman suffrag- ists, hav allied themselves with their opponents.

She was to leave the following night, but was delayed and had to remain over. That night Hiichcoock was to address a meeting at the same place where Miss Oouzins had spoken the evening previvus, and ghe went to the meeting. No one was aware of her presence save the speaker, who espied her in the audience and recognized her. He spoke an hour, and then called upon Miss Couzins to ascend the platform and speak in reply. She pushed her way through the crowd amidst the most enthusiastio cheering, and stood beside Hitchoock on the platform The debate began and lasted two hours. ‘Hitcheock sought refuge in the scriptures, which he tried to quote. A Bible was procured to ald him in his argument, but he did not exhibit suflicient familiarity with the text, acd Miss Couzins took it from his hands and would aid him not only in finding the quotations, but would re- mind him of some which he failed to employ. ' At the clone of the debate n motion was put by Hitchoock to a% the sentiment of the meeting, and he did not receive a single vote of in donlamont. An lo\;onnt 4LI the dis- cussion was prepared for the papers, but Hitchmofl, who had the lrial::d‘hi of the editors, caused the prepare: account to be suppressed and one of his own published, it which it was stated that the vote of the meeting was unanimously in his favor. He also sought to defeat us by other means, and had regular republican tickets rinted with a blank at tho bottom or the constitutional amendment, it being the general understanding that this blank was reserved for the vote. In the middle of this ticket, however, he had the words ‘against the amend- ment’ inserted, and by this means captured the votes of many who either overlooked or did not fully under- stand the meaning of the words insert- ed.,” Miss Anthony is here the guest of Miss Couzins, and will not go east for a day or two, An Ingenious Postal Invention. Jpectal Dispatch to Tius Bex. WasHINGTON, November 24,—The postmaster general to-day took a step which it is believed in some quarters will materially affect future opera- tions and reform in the department. This was the conclution of a contract with Leo Ehrlich, of 8t. Louis, for the use of his recent ingenious in- vention of a combination letter sheet and envelope, By the middle of Jan- uary the Ehrlich invention will be o0 sale in the principal postotices in the country, in the shape of a letter sheet, envelope and stamp, all for three cents, and a circular letter and envelope and stamp for one cent, adding vt of paper. The single letter sheets are manufactured with gummed flaps, which, when the sheet is folded, lap over two open edges and secvre the missive, The government stamp is to be embossed on one of these flaps which comesover likethe flip on an en- velope, and the whole thing is licked, stamped and sealed with the same mo- tion, This brings the stamp where the old wafers and seal used to be, in- stead of betng upon the upper right hand corner. The postmaster will not be compelled to apply the cancellation stamp, as letters cannot be opened, nor the embossed stamp removed with- out destroying the stamp.
