8' THE ' MTV NORTHWEST, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1881. Concluded from first page. the time had come when the physical force of women was ndeded in the battle of thought and effort. In conclusion, Mr. Gray declared that women had a right to demand equality of social and political privilege, position and action. Miss Augusta Allen recited "The Angels of Buena Vista." Rev. J. A. Cruzan was the next speaker. He aid that the ladies were destined to vote, and that no one would welcome the inevitable more courteously and graciously than he would -accept it. "Without rellecting upon Woman Suf fragists and their work, Mr. Cruaan declared that he did not believe that universal suffrage was the panacea for all ills. He spoke at some length upon the subject. He advocated the establish ment of intelligence and property qualifications for voters. If Woman Suffrage will benefit the American Nation, he is in favor of it. He paid handsoino compliments to the ladies in various positions in tbe past and the present, and spoke with hope of the future. Mrs. Dr. Thompson followed. She said that the women did not, as Mr. Cruxan feared, advocate "universal" suffrage. They simply took the American Nation at present as they found it, with its various and often inharmonious ele ments. After removing all social aud political disabilities on account of sex, let men ami women together establish proper intelligence and prop erty qualifications for voters. We should not be over particular about according women tbe ballot when men of every sort are freely accorded it without resect to morals, manners or color. Mrs. Thompson finished by expressing Iter contl dence in the American people, who hold the destinies of women in tiieir hands. Mrs. Dr. Bird favored the audience with a bal lad, and was encored. Mr. Vinton accompanied her on the piano. .Rev. II. K. Hines addressed the Convention. He exprtaei his surprise that great questions of right and wrong were never settled without great Struggles, which too often culminated upon the battle-Held. The great right of human liberty had been fought for through all the ages, and was now about to achieve universal triumph. He said that man in the home, in society, in tiic state, cannot work successfully alone. His efforts must always be supplemented by woman's. A complete manhood must include two halves the man half and the woman half. He discussed the subject of Woman Suffrage distinctively. It is but one of the many questions involved in the great right which, with man's help, woman's help, and" God's help, will shortly and entirely triumph. In a concluding sentence, Mr. Hincs spoke of the good time surely coming, when ques tions of right and privilege would not be deter mined by sex or color, but according to the broad principles of humanity. Misses Nellie Waltz and Dora McCord rondered a second selection upon the piano and the violin, and received an encore. Mr. Shanahan and Mr. Duniway took up a col lection to defray expenses. Mrs. Duniway attempted to reassure Mr. Cru zan concerning the benefical results of Woman Suffrage by relating the result of her observations ;n Wyoming, where the experiment had been successfully tried. She declared that the results were eminently satisfactory to all the law-abiding citizens of Wyoming. She witnessed in Lar amie an election where ladies and gentlemen quietly and decorously and aide by sido cast their votes according to law and order. Hon. J. F. Caples addressed the Convention. He congratulated the friends of reform upon the size and character of the audience. He congratu lated them also upon the progress of public opin ion upon the subject of Woman Suffrage. He laid that the reform in the direction of woman's enfranchisement had passed the period of perse cution. Mr. Capltrs said women hold a higher po sition already upon the Pacific Coast than in any .other portion of the United States; that they hold a higher position throughout the United States than anywhere else in the world, and that it is eminently fitting that America should teach the Rations how to liberate women. He invited those of the audience who favored Woman Suf frage to signify the name by a rising vote, which was given by a large majority of those present. Mr. Caples made a good many humorous re marks, and created much merriment, in the midst of which the meeting adjourned. BKCOND WAY MORNING SESSION. Convention called to order at 10:80 o'cloak IkTrs.

Cruzan's address of the pre vious evening, endeavoring to refute the idea that Woman Suffrage is a question of expediency. Mrs. Dr. Thompson spoke brieily on some ques tions of expediency. Rev. Mr. Cruzan, in answer to a call, spoke, re iterating his opposition to universal suffrage and his belief that suffrage is a question of expediency. He is willing for the ladies to vote if that Is found to be expedient. Mrs. Duniway followed Mr. Cruzan, agreeing witli him substantially in considering universal suffrage inexpedient, and proposing methods for establishing intelligent and moral qualifications for voters. She said she believes the prosent.1 method of voting to be full of evils, being an un equal contest whero intelligence and" morality are too often vanquished. Mrs. J. A. Johns, of Salem, spoke in favor of universal suffrage, discriminating against '"Asi atics" and all newly arrived foreigners. , .

The question, "Is Woman Suffrage Expedient?" was again taken up. Mr. D'Arcy made a logical and eloquent appeal for human rights. He believed that right should be considered always in spite of expediency. The President returned to his post, and Mrs. Duniway joined in the discussion. She thought right ought always to be made exMdient Rev. J. 11. Acton, being called for, responded in an earnest speech in advocacy of Woman Suffrage. He did not think it would bring the millennium, but it was woman's right, and she ought to have it. It would doubtless bring about great changes, but they wero needed. Mrs. Thompson spoke in favor of right before expediency. Mrs. F. A. Logan made a brief address. Mrs. Mary Shane Smith read an address, which would make a good campaign tract, Hon. T. W. Daveniort was invited to come for ward and address the Convention. He said tiiat he did not deem it always expedient to do right ; in many cases it was not. In regard to this ques tion of Woman Suffrage, he considered it both right and expedient. He advised women not to waste their time in discussing the question, but to go to work, as many women do, and fit them selves for whatever their inclination leads them to do, such as law, medicine, etc. Let the women do these tilings, and send their more stalwart brothers to do the muscular work. Short responses were made by Mrs. Duniway and Mrs. Thompson, after which Miss Ellen Scott favored the audience with some instrumental music, while the Constitution was being circu lated for signatures. Mrs. Loughary of Yamhill made a short and stirring speech. Members of the Convention accepted the invita tion of Rev. T. L. Eliot to attend a lecture by Miss MacConnell in the Unitarian chapel. Adjourned till 10 a. m. Thursday. M ISCELLA N EO US A D V E RTISE M ENTS. THE SUN FOR 1881.
