THE IBBEPBESSIBLE CONFLICT.
As the public mind has had oppor
tunity to cool itself during the several
days that have passed since the adjourn
ment of tho annual meeting of the State
Temperance Alliance, we are now ready
to make a well-weighed and careful re
port ofits remarkable proceedings.
The list of delegates was quite large,
the weather was beautiful, and every
thing at the opening session betokened
a happv and prosperous season of tem-
erance legislation, except the lowering
glances of a few grim-visageil pigmies,
who took the Alliance bits between
their teeth and sought to rule or ruin it
A few broken-down political liacks,
consisting of Republican sore-hcads and
dead-duck Democrats, had resolved to
run the Alliance in the interests of a po
litical ring, whose avowed object should
le Temperance, nut whose real one
should be the control of the wkisky in
fluencc in the interests of a so-
called Temperance party. Overtures
from certain parties in this pseudo Tem
perance clique had been made to the
New Xortiiwbst with a viow to secure
this paper's influence as a party organ ;
ami we were urged to keep the Idea of
woman's mifranchisement out of the
Alliance, because it was so obnosious
to a few professed Temperance men that
there would be trouble about forming a
now lwrfr if we should attempt it. As
is usual in such cases, we kept our own
counsel and obeyed our own convictions
of duty; consequently the New North
west did not become a certain party's
organ, and the faction who could not
control sought to gag and ostracise us.
To succeed in this they felt that strat
egy was r.eeesary, so they caucused the
whole night preceding the appointed
gathering, and packed a committee on
credentials, stuffed the temporary
Chairman, pledged the permanent Pres
ident (whose election. was also a put-up
job), and got cveryting in readiness for
our expulsion from the AJliancc.
Meanwhile the Suffrage Society dele
gation, all unmindful of the coming
storm, chatted at ease in the hotel par
lor, till they were suddenly waited upon
by a man who wanted to know what
they sltould do if they should be denied
admission on their credentials. This
query placed the delegation on their
guard, and a stormy debate at once
arose between them and the worthy
who was trying to cover his perfidy in
packing a committee against them by
declaring himself a "Woman Suffra
gist, who only sought to make a way
for their admission." Ah, Colonel
Cann, when you shall essay to run for
Governor, the Methodist hobby horse
and Democratic niirhtmare, both of
which vou are trying to ride with Tom
peranee for a bridle and "Woman Suf
frage as a saddle, will "step from under"
and leave you, like Issacher of old,
"crouching between two burdens."
The 'Woman-Suirrage-Temperance ele
ment is after you full-tilt with facts.
The reports of the Orcgonian, States
man, ami Bulletin are so com
plete and reliable that we shall draw
largely from their columns In a forth
coming summary, thanking each for
their accuracy, piquancy and telling
thrusts at defeated and retreating disor
ganizers, limiting our own remarks to a
brief outline.
The Committee on Credentials, who
had been nominally chosen by the old
members, but really selected by T. II.
Cann with special reference to their
hostility to the credentials of the Wom
an Suffragist if Mr. Cann denies this
we are ready with the proof ruled that
the Woman Suffrage Association was a
political party, having in it all the el
ements of politics, just as the Repub
lican and Democratic parties are
each political. This was a new ruling
to the Association, yet not a very disa
greeable one, since it is pleasant to find
that you are in reality a power for an
many to fight, rather than a nonentity
not worth noticing. Rut this delega
tion denied going there as politicians
upon other than Temperance issues, and
as such they stood their ground, and af
ter one Dull Run defeat, the cry of "On
to Richmond" roused the latent princi
ple of Justice, and victory perched upon
the banners of Temperance, while the
disorganizing secessionists took to their
heels after the style of the rebels in a
greater Rebellion (but where no greater
principle was involved), carrying with
them, as did the first great Secessionist,
not a third, but a tweutietli part of the
Alliance hosts. Like their notorious
prototype of Pandemonium, they imme
diately set about forming an "Alliance"
of thoir own, and like their equally vil
lainous forerunners of the recent great
Rebellion, they have issued a "procla
mation" setting forth just as good rea
sons as did Lucifer or the supporters of
the Okl Public Functionary for their
withdrawal from a Union which they
could not gag, usurp or ruin.
As we prefer to let the daily press tell
the particulars in its own terse way, wc
now proceed to a few personalities not
given in the general newspaper reports.
After we had been, as the President
vainly hoped, eflectually tabled, upon a
cheating vote as to our admission as
Delegate at Large, a number of gentle
men, with whom we had had very
slight personal acquaintance, and who
had in no way allied themselves to the
Suffrage movement, but who saw clear
ly through the political trickery of the
disorguuiziug faction, rallied to our sup
port unasked, and then followed a four
hours' combat between skilled diplo
macy and vital principle on the one
hand, and ignorance, intolerance and
gag law upon the other. Conspicuous

among tne cirampiuns oi justice wc
make proud mention of Major George
Williams, whose invaluable aid in sub
duing the greater Rebellion cost him a
leg at Gettysburg and won for him im-
wIioav intrepid zeal is worthy of all
praise, and by the .support and counsel
of Dr. Watts, Professor Prentice, Rev.
Mr. Parrish, Dr. Fiske, lions. Downing,
McF. Patton and many others, these
entleiueii hold anarchy at bay and
in such a manner that they all under
stood it, and the consequence was that
the President, who had set out from the
first under instructions from T. II. Cann
and his packed committee to hold the
bits between his teeth (as did the tem
porary Chairman until jocularly Im
peached), thought better of his position
and conducted the trying subject fairly
and justly.
Wo have no hesitation in avowing
that had J. II. D. Henderson in his of

PBOOEEDINGS
Of tie fWon State Temocranca Alliance,
Held at Salein on tie 20th and 21st days
of Eebnury, 1873
) The first session of the Temperance
' Alliance having packed its Committee
, nn rvmimiiini!. the afternoon orsecoud
brought the question as to whether or I scssion wa3 called to order, and the rc
not we should be admitted to our seat iu i t of tUc Committee was received. It
the Alliance squarely before the ieople j anied scats to a large number of dele
gates, representing temperance societies,
lodges, Sunday Schools, Bible classes,
Churches, literary societies, &c.
The report contained the following
recommendation: . , ,
"That Mrs. A. .T. Dun i way, ad un
accredited delegate from the State
Woman's Sulirage Association, be not
admitted; as iu tho opinion of the Com
mittee, the Association referred to Is a
political party."
Ti.o mlniitioii nf tho ronort was moved,
whereupon Mrs. Duniwoy rose and in
quired: Who, under the Constitution,
are competent delegates? The Chair
announced that the Secretary would

Thornton (who can never forgive us for
being his successful competitor in a
prize essay i, would not have had oppor
tunity to attack and insult us as ho was
permitted to do. Rut ail that is past
now. The .rrestueni nouiy returned to
his duty, the ex-President repented of
his injustice, and the sequel proved that
it was not the Woman Suflrago delega
tion but "Mrs. Duniway" whom the
packed Committee sought to ostracise.
Right has triumphed and everything
is serene again.

Many and various are tho rumors
that come to us from the stronghold of.
Mormonism. There seems at last to be
a determination on the part of the Gov
In:
"Jietolvcd, That the name of tho As
sociation shall be the Oregon State Tem
perance Alliance; that it shall bo com
posed of members of this Convention
and other men and women who by their
record shall be known as firm friends to
the Temperance cause, and shall co
operate with all Temperance organiza
tions of whatever name and nature."
Mrs. Duniway moved to amend the
report by striking out that portion ad
verse to the admission of the delegates
from the Woman Suffrage Association,
aud inserting the recommendation that
that they be admitted to seats in the
Alliance, and supported her motion iu a
few well-directed remarks.
John Doc rose to a point of order;
I that no persons excepting members have
I a right to speck.
I The Chair sustained the point.
Mrs. D. continued, and again objection
i was made.
i The Chair ruled that no person but
! such as are mentioned in the report of
tne committee are members.
Mrs. Duniway excepted. .She said
that the report itself could not deter
mine the status of delegates, since that
was tne subject oi discussion.
Tho Chair I hold to my ruling with
pertinacity.
vMr. Thorntou The question is on the
amendment.
The Chair 'lite previous question
lakes precedence of the amciiilment.
A vote on the previous question was
had, resulting in its being ordered.
The Chair The question is on the
amendment.
Mrs. Duniway J. President and
Delegate: I have no words to express
my regrets for the prescriptive injustice
of tho Committee ou Credentials, whose
ruling to-day strikes at the very root of
American freedom. Tho Woman Suf
frage Association, whose credentials I
hold here, lias sent up its delegation,
among whom arc ministers, physicians
and editors persons of the highest
social and moral standing, all well
known public aud private advocates of
Temperance. The Committee urges
that wc are a political partv and on this
ground would exclude w'. I think it
would be fair and just for us to be heard
on that matter. We do not come here
as politicians, but as Temperance men
ami women, claiming an equal interest
with Churches, Sunday Schools, farm
ers' clubs, medical societies and all other
organized bodies. Tf f ho Committee be
lieve us to be a political party they err
ignorantly; if they are disposed to os
tracise us from sinstcr motives, they err
willfully. In cither case I appeal from
their decision to the Chair. The consti
tution of this Alliance expressly pro
vides for our admission. It says that It
shall be composed of members of this
Convention and other men and women
who, by their past record, shall be
known as friends of the Temperance
cause.and shall co-operate with all tem
perance organizations of whatever name
and order. Now, shall gag law be en
forced in tills body, or are we to stand
by our rights as free Temperance men
and women ?
Just here Mr. Ilopkinsou, traveling
agent of the S. F. Chronicle, loomed up
iu the rear of tho house and remarked
suavely that the question was on the
adoption of the report.
The ('hair The gentleman is mis
taken. Tho Chair has frequently stated
that it is a matter of grevious doubt in

During the pendency of this motion
the Chair decided that members who
had been sent on committee business
and had returned to tho hall while the
vote was being taken were not entitled
to a vote. Tho temper of tho house was
tested, anil tlte Presideut reversed.
The motion to adopt the original rerso
lution was amended bv T. H. Cann so
as to include "all the delegates from the
omau's feunrage Association."
The amendment was indefiuitelypost
poned.
Mr. Ford rose to a point of order: that
the effect of Indefinitely postponing the
Cann amendment was to carry the
whole matter along with it.
The Chair refused so to rule.
Mr. Wooden roared a fierce roar which
fell like lead upon the ears of the worthy
President, who peremptorily ordered the
recalcitrant Wooden to be silent. The
rebuke of the President afforded occasion
for loud applause.
Several other delegates whose mental
calibre refused to conform to the laws of
ratio and proportion met an easy death
at tne nanus oi tne wearieu uuatrnian.
The previous question on the resolu

WE KNOW IT.
Mr. Newsom, who so stoutly denied
any intention of withdrawal from the
Temperance Alliance, noth withstand
ing the attempts of the recalcitrant
Wooden to inveigle him into the camp
of secession, writes us some rich revela
tions, gleaned from a visit to the ene
my's camp, lie says: "As fast a the
trutli can leak out, every bolter is found
to have seceded from the Alliance be
cause you were voted in as Delegate at
Large !"
Well, brother N., the National disor
ganizcrs acted on precisely the same im
pulse when they seceded after Mr. Lin
coln's election. It is the old fight of
might against right, error against truth,
oppression against freedom, and in such
conflicts the right will win.
"I toll you," continues our brother,
"that the movements of these bolters
have done you more real good, and
the noble cause for which you labor, as
well as the cause of the State Temper
ance Alliance, than could have
been done by the unchallenged ndmis-
association. Here are five ladies with ,

AFTKBXOOS SESSION
Mr. Dimmick moved that Mrs. Duui
wav. who. at the last Alliance, had been
nnnniiited a committee of one to urge
upon the Legislature of '72 the justice
and propriety of allowing women to
vole at all oltctions, upon all questions
involving the i-sue of Temperance, be
reriiuMed to rcirort. The motion was
enrrinl.
Mrs. Duniway being called made the
following address:
J'fCHidcnt. Gentlemen and Ladies:
You will remember that at the meeting
of the Allliance one year ago, a resoiu
tian oflered by myself, beseeching the
Legislature to pass a law enabling wom
en to vote on tiie linuor ouestlon in
their various precincts throughout the
State, was passed by an overwneiming
vote after some stormy opposition from
a few individuals, who were really more
frightened than injured; and you will
also lemeinher that I was appointed a
committee of one to urge the matter
upon the attention of the Legislature or
'72. I found the members generally
disused to treat the subject with defer
ence aud intention, -uany couicreuccs
with the iecial committees, to whom
Mr. Wooden hastened to assure the
Alliance that he did not contemplate a
permanent withdrawal. He was simply
going out of tiie building for a lew
moments.
Unluckily for the rcntleman's veracity
the Secretary here commenced reading
a long list of names of persons who
wished to withdraw, at the head of
which towered the name of J. W.
Wooden. This delegate rose to explain,
but the Alliance evidently had made up
us mind to
Welcome the coining, upoeit the partln;
suest."
That apology wanders, friendless, in the
Kingly bosom or Mr. w. to-uay.
The above is condensed from the re
port of the Otogonian and Statesman,
aud the following is from the Bulletin:
Mrs. Duniway, having been appointed
as a committee of one by the last Alli
ance, to present a bill to tne last legis
lative body, granting to women mi:
right to vote ou the temperance ques
tion, she was requested to make a
report.
She took occasion at once to thank the
Alliance for the justice shown her in ad
mitting her as a delegate from the State
at large, and would endeavor by her
actions to show them that the honor
wa3 not unfittingly bestowed. Regard
ing her mission, she said that she had
Introduced the bill in the House, in
structing Judges of Election to count
me votes or women in any question
having for its object the suppression of
the liquor tratllc. There was the usual
amount of engineering for and against
its passage. It was referred to several
committees with whom she consulted,
and in every instance was listened to
with marked respect. The bill passed
its first and second readimr and came up
on its final passage. Pending the vote,
Mr. Andrews, or Union county, made a
few remarks stating that a worthy
member of the House had presented a
bill granting to women the full right
of sulirage on all questions. That bill
had been spirited away, and he thought
that as the body had seen fit to refuse
them the right to vote on honorable is
sues, it would be an insult to the sex to
grant them the mere privilegcsof voting
on the question of the liquor traffic. O til
ers coincided witli him, and thobill was
lost by a vote of 22 to 20. Next sessions
she would try it again, and she felt con
lident of success. On the question of
politics, about which sucli a hubbub was
raised, she said that every question that
had been brought before the Aliance
had a political aspect. They were their
equals in every respect and as great
thinkers as those who at present op
losed their right of sulirage. They
were, universally, strictly temperate in
imitation, re-
resignation worthy, of
sinned business.
EVENING SESSION.
It was generally understood that the
Alliance would adjourn sine die this
evening, and a general desire prevailed
throughout the city to be in at its death.
Therefore the Opera Hotiso was deusejj
thronged at an early hour. The oppos
ition meeting did not appear to lesson
the crowd iu attendance at the Alliance.
On the contrary, it seemed to inoreasc
the interest already manifested, and the'
consequence was that every available
iii tut' iuwei unit was iiiieu, wjiutf
the gallery was well represented.
Mr. Leland as the first speaker, ad
dressed the assembled multitude for
half an hour, and on retiring introduced
Mrs. Duniway as the "Oregon self
sharpener." Mrs. Duniway thanked the gentleman
who preceded her for the handsome
compliments he had paid her sex in ac
knowledging they did possess sufficient
common sense to know right from
wrong. Fven that was more than some
men would own up to. Site then pro
ceeded to apologize for certain remarks
made during the forenoon session while
in the heat of passion ; but tier apology
was expressed in such a manner as to
lead some to believe that it was sarcasm.
She had been attacked by those who
were her seniors in age, and who used
language inulting to herself and her
sex. She could not humiliate herself
enough to think she was the only one
at fault, although she acknowledged she
might have said some things that might
better have been left unsaid. In fact,
she as much as owned up that if she had
said aught to he sorry for she was glad
of it. She again thanked the members
of the Alliance who had so nobly de
fended her, and she took the present oc
casion to sneak a good word for Rev. J.
H. D. Henderson, whoiu the discharge of
Ills duties as temporary Chairman had
overruled her in several instances. She
dhl not doubt his sincerity to do what
lie considered right, and her motion to
impeach him was made in jest. His
heart was in the right place, and such
being the case, she could easily overlook
his, in her opinions, unjust ruling3.
Regarding the needs of a Temperance
paper, the friends of Temperance were

the Chair as to whether ho voted in the
afllrmative. That geutlemau survived
the trying ordeal, and from that time
might announce a nroiect now on foot
for the secession of a number of dele
gates, and the formation of a Wooden
Alliance with Wooden officers. In
tones sweet and mournful as notes from
harps wind-swept by the waters of
Babylon, Mr. AV. remarked that as he
was about to withdraw for a few mo
ments, ho wished to say that all friends
of Temperance were invited to meet at
the t.'ood Templars' Hall to-night at"
o'clock.
Mr. D. "W. Prentice rose, and in a few
touching remarks tendered the last sad
rites of the Alliance to departing worth.
He iutitnated that what was Mr.
AVooden's loss was the Alliance's gain,
and paid a feeling tribute to mo mag
hands and see what they could do to
wards creating discord.
A motion was made to grant the
prayer of the petitioners, which pre
vailed, and the dissatisfied delegates
were no longer members of the Alliance
and the seats declared vacant.
David Xewsom, whose name was orig
inally on the list, at once asked that
it might be stricken off, as he had signed
it without knowing the exact purport
of the article. He had never desired to
withdraw from thc Alliance, and it was
not his intention to do so at this late
hour. Tho gentleman's name was
therefore stricken ofl".
