Wbv not have each Representative District
hold a District Convention, to nominate a State j
Representative for that particular district, in
ft till of nominating them at the County Con

mittee It seems to us this would bo much the
better way, to let each distrct make its own
nomination.
We find the above in IbO Bangor l;fUctor,
whose Editor appears not have heard what
the practice in this County li .s heretofore been.
The Convention divides those from the First
district organizing into a District Convention
for the purpose of nominating their candidate
for Representative, and those delegates from
tbe towns composing the second district organ
izing as District Convention and nominating
their candidate f"r Representative. This ar
rangement saves tno holding of two separate
conventions and has alwavs been satisfactory.

and on this occasion he would not go on with
the show, but would wait until Wednesday
night. He said that instead of giving back tho
money to those who had paid, they might call
for two tickets as they passed out one for
their friends which would admit them on the
next mght. Of course they all bit, and grasped
eagerly for tbe tickets. A fter the hall had been
cleared of people, he packed bis collar-box and i
slid out on the early train in tbe moraing, leav- j
ing the ticket-holders a pass to hiB show when

I'.ditok Tri e Northerner :
After riding leisurely across Little 1'rai
rie Bonde last Saturday, my attention was at
tract ed by several teams drawn up in front of
a little white school-house. " A woman's
rigb n meeting," was the answer to my ques
tion We entered, tiuding tho house nearly
fallen with an a&seniblago of in.:, and women,
quiet and expectant, and, according to all ap
poarauces. well representing tho intelligence of
this community. The object of the meeting
was the organizing of a Suffrage Association
for the town of Volinia. A strong argument
in favor of the subject to be discussed was
presented by the walls gracefully decorated
with evergreens, by tho beautiful flowery which
adorned the desk in graceful arrangement, and
floor scrupulously clean,
Shortly after MM entrance the meeting was
called to Offer, and Mr. It. Andorson elected
chairman, fter song by the choir. (" Michi
gan my Michigan"), Mies Rhodo Munger de
livered a very interesting address, ihesvmpa
thetic voice and happy manner of the speaker
could not fail to impress bil audi- n:e favorably,
and it :i;poars that DOC common eense argu
ments, as well as her touches of humorous
sarcasm, were thoroughly appreciated. The
address was followed by music and the reading
of Heurv B, Hlackwell's paper on Woman
Suffrage A Political Reform." The report of
the committee on Constitution was next in
order, and tho names of 27 persons as members
of the association wore procured.
The following officers wero oltctod: Mr.
Milton 3. Gard. President ; Mrs. A. T. Hath
away and Mrs. H, S. Thomas, Vice Presidents;
Miss Klla Huyck, Secretary : Mrs. Klias Morris,
Treasurer.
A speech by Mrs. A. S. Hathaway occupied
the remainder of the time. She spoke of tbe
ballot both as a right and as a duty. The right
of woman to vote as a matter of justice gen
erally admitted, yet denied on the ground of
expediency. The presumption should always
be in favor of liberty and impartiality, unless
there are strong and potent reasons to the con
trary. What are the strong and potent reasons
which Bhould exclude woman from the govern
ment i Several objections were examined at
length, chiefiy the neglect of home argument
and tho alleged demoralizing effect of tho bal
lot. Finally, a reference to tho Wyoming ex
periment, (iovernor Campbell's and (ieueral
Kdward M. Lee's testimony, in addition to
ludge Kingman's.
Contributions of money were called for and
recorded, and the society adjourned untl Sat
urday evening, August 29tb. MuBic marked
tho close, as well as tbe opening of the meet
ing, which was characterized by general good
feeling throughout. We hardly realized that
wo bad attended a political meeting. Nor could
we refrain from asking the question, why our
election days might not bo like this, our court
rooms made comfortable and pleasant bv the
presence of our mothers and sisters, extending
then homo influence to the now much abused
haunts of public life. isitor.

Miss Matfie rnckiandof St. MUM, daughter
of Hon. Randolph Strickland, addressed a

woman suffrage question. She also addreBsed
a meeting at Mason last week on the same sub

are growing more numerous, and tbe cause

Record.
Tbe serious view which tbe women of Michi
gan take of the question at issue in this State,
is thus expressed by one of tbe active workers
for Suffrage: " I look upon the months that
intervene between now and November aB tbe
most important of all tho months upon which
any gret cause ever waited. How te.v see
what great good for the raco is enwrapped in
this cause, in theso months."
Wo attendod a meeting of the Woman's Suf
frage Association, at Hreedsville. on the !tb.

' Woman's Advocate. was well edited, the
reading by the young ladies was good, and their
selections choice and appropriate for the occa
sion Aside tictn the caue, tho literary exer

meeting is on the 23d Hangor Reflector.
Women ought not to be lent interested n

to take aB deep an interetd as fathers in secur

temptations that surround them, leading to a
life of immorality and crime. The woman who
says Bhe doesn't care to vote virtually nays she
is indifferent to the highest interest of her
children and the world around her. She virtu
ally savs she doesn't care whether or not a
brothel is located on every street corner in
