1 he Promised Reform.
Sinco Democracy lost the control of
the Government it has been clamoring
for reform. 'J'he most satisfactory A?1 -

to satisfy it. Everything ill tho shape
of governmental affairs iiped reformation
ami every time Democracy is the only
party pure enough to bring it about.
The thief, when pursued by the o!li:or.s
of the law, will ol'tbutliiics diroet public
attention from his own olfirts to escape
by crying a', the top of his voice, 'stop
thirl"! stop thief ?' So, Democracy , dri
ven from its fields of plunder and close

the country, cudoavor-l to divert the
righteous puuislilnoiit wh'uli is being in

?? Vos, I did sleep with Mrs. Tilton at
different times, but I shall not tell the
world what 1 know, o: do uot know. IF
I am summoned before the courts, and
examined legally as a witness, it will bo
my duty to go; but I don't think loan
remember all the things that hive been
told me in confidence duriug all my jour
neyings. The time is co ning when a
woman will be answerableouly to hor
holf for her own deeds. It is an abom
inable mixture of deceit, and either of
tho men is ready to sacrilico Mrs. Tilton
to save himself. The fact is, if a woman
gives herself to a man, either inTmsY
riago or out of marriage, he will tramplo
her into the dirt to servo his own codi.
Women sell themselves top cheap',. Tljej
sacrifice themselves on tne'Bpot, it does
not matter wHether thef ^a?v B'aa'lrdj
brairt? Or not;-'it it; tlio creation over
ugnio. Old Adam said : "The woman
tempted rue . and I did cat." Bcccber
?ays : "The woman tempted me ana I
did not cat." In both casea

Miss Anthony is looking well. If
she were only some man's wife, mother,
or graudmothcr she would bo described
as a dignified, scrcnefneed oldor4j;la<Jy;
as she is an old maid, she is written
down a vixen. She is a jolly soul, with
a wonderful magnetio How of speech;
sbo is honest in bcr convictions, and
bus worked the most of her life like an
Irishman, "Froo gratia for nothing,
without a cent of pay." The object, of
the present meeting is to reunite the
members as no convention has been hold
since the prcsideut, Mrs. Jones, return
ed from Europe. ATiss Anthony will
make at least two of her telling speeches.
