that' the Erie does not build the new

Bezolved, That the action of this Con-
vention in refusing to admit Miss Susan

is not bona fide a working woman's asso
ciation.
After considerable debate on the reso-
Mimi the President declared Miss An
thony was entitled to the floor, as she
was a delegate to the Convention last

RALEIGH, N. C., August 17.—We have
had little rain, scarcely sufficient to
the dust. The corn crop in this vicinity ,
is suffering very much. It is thought
the yield this year will not exceed two
thirds of that of last year. There was a
very tine rain today, but it to feared it
came too late to benefit the early corn.
The weather is very warm.

THE FINALS . CIAL SITUATING.
Mr. Hoskinson stated that the books
would be prepared and the', Committee
on Finance proceed at once_ with their
work.: :
Colonel Lee wished to know what the
money was needed for. The object of the
movement simply was confined to Alle
gheny county, and he did riot see that a
large amount of money was needed. '
Mr. Kennel
_y explained. that at first it
was designed to publish a campaign
'paper, issuing :len thbusand copies -
• weekiy, but this idea had been given up,
se they•had• been assured by some per
sona connected with some of the daily
papers that communications written in a
fair 4and, temperate spirit•-would be ad
mined their columns:- But, amide
from this, .fiocuments wouhl 'have to be

vire at least 'two thousand dollarsfor

Mr. Anderson thought that one thou
sand dollars would be sufficient. The--
work he thought must be dope principal.
ly by speakers and meetings, not by
tracts or statistics of 'printed matter.
WHAT HAS BEEN XXV.MTIDED.
Mr. Kennedy said that already three
hundred•dollars bad been spent, and yet
no particailar show , bad;, been made.
Money must be had to carry On atIV work
of the'kind. ' A sawmilitonldn't be run
'On a pint of *liter.
Mr. Kirk. thought thik question of
finance was one of the. most Important
which could 1 - tie' considered, If con
tracted views were -allowed to rule at
first, they would drag the campaign all
along. ;He thought five thousand dollars
would ;not' he more 'thanaufficient to
carry On' the: work- properly. Tile old
partiaticarried on the campaign at an ex
pense varying =from nine to sixty thou
sand dollars; and if the Temperance men
wished to do anything -they must also be
liberal with the funds. Meetings must
be helde-speakers, procured u the coun
ty canvaseed, and documents, and com- -
munications publiihed, sli„, ,of which
would require money. - These must all
be 'publikhed in the 'daily newspapers,
as they were the best medium through
which the people might be reached.
This Movement, if •succesafal; would not
alone be• felt in Allegheny county, but
would extend over the, whole State. If
it was found that the banner county
had throw - a oil theahackles of party and
spoken for reform; the movement would
extend all Over the State'and the cause
would at once becomes Victorious power.
He hoped that nothing earnest, lib

would prevail.' •
