CINCrNNATI, September 15.—The Wo
- man's - Snffrage Convention met at Pike's
Hall at twelve o'clock. to-day.
On the platform were Mrs. Mary A.

Anthony, of New York, Mrs. Lucy Stone
and husband, Mr. Henry B. Blackwell,
of Boston, Mrs. De Chase, of Cleveland,
Mrs. M. Carrier Brown, and others.

A. J. Boyer and J. J. Renville, of Day.
ton Dr. Organ, of Champaign county,
Ohio, and others, are expected.
On motion of Mrs. Mary Graham, Mrs.

Mrs. Biangy, of this city, and Mrs. M.
Cold, of Sidney, as temporary Secrets.
ries.
- Rev. H. D. Moore, of the First Con
,greitational church, was called to open
the Convention with prayer, which he
' • did. ,
• Mrs. Lougley, on taking the chair, ex
;pressed her thanks for the honor con
ferred, but hesitated to accept the duties
imposed, in view of her inexperience in
such a - capacity. - She then said:
It may be proper to say a few words
explaining the object for which' you met
and the work to be done, although prior
to the late war, much was said and writ
ten on the political inequality of wcman
with man, it was not until after the abol
ition of slavery in the United States,
that any great or practical advance conlo
be made toward woman suffrage. ,It
could be but so according to
the law of progress, for until p
pie's moral vision was sufficient y
developed to see greater wrong they
could_ not comprehend less. Some
women who now advocate woman suf
frage devoted themselves to the libere.
ton of the slave as long as the necessity\
existed. As all has been doue by them
that' women can do, because all has been
done except what had to bet:me through
the ballot-box, it is proper that eh
should now work for the eleva
non of -her own sex. As- all mi
rnor interests were set aside, and
an energies concentrated on one, great
object: liberation of th 9 slave, so now
that there is nothing more foe women to
do_for them, they have determined to
unite in one great effort for woman suf
frage. Having , been taught by the expe
rience of the New York Convention that
one thing well done was better than
many attempted, the friends of the cause
in the west determined to waive all
aide interests and agreed to con
, fine themselves to that which under
lies all political rights—the right to the
Ballot." We have met, then, to form an
Ohio Woman Suffrage Association, the
object of which shall be to send docu
ments and atomisers through the cams.
try, to facilitate the formation of societies
in every neighborhood, and by all proper
means to advance the cause of woman
suffrage and thereby make our gov.
eminent in fact what it is in theory,
a - -Government of the people. For
the purpose of securing harmonious
and effective work in our Convention
some have made such sacrifices of per
sonalinteftstsin other reforms , es only
those can , make who are devoted to the
greatest good of all. Nothing but a con
viction that the good of the cause de
manded snob sacrifices could have in
duced them to consent to exclude from
-our deliberation other measures long
endeared to them, such, for instance, as
the temperance reform. I hope- the
. knowledge that such self-denial has been
practised by many who are actively en
gaged with- us will be appreciated by
you, and cause you to be equally unself
ish and cautious in any resolution you
May offer and any action you take dui.-
Ing our session. • •
While the Chair took time to consult
about the composition of the committee,
Miss Susan B. Anthony, made a few re
iiistrks. She was greeted with cheers,
and said; I. ant alwas ready to fill up
any sitoh gaps in business as the present,
although-I have rushed here from the
Cars after being delayed by broken en
gines and delayed trains. It has not
been - so bad, however ' as when
was here last, with that other
eccentric Train, when we had to
charter • a special train in order to
meet our appointment. This is a great
Work in which you are assembled, to or

corns action and .revolution.. After
twenty years •;of earnest work is this
cause, of course I am greatly encourag•
ed and rejoiced at such evidences
of progress as I see before . me to•day.
Shec l incladed by sayings it was their
custoi:i in the east at such meetings to
invite\ discussions from. any who
doubts on the question, or who openly
opposed the suffrage proposition, and she
hoped the same course would be purdued
here, for she could al waYs• speak better
under the pressure of opposition.
Mrs. Mary a Livermore was next in
troduced, who said: I think we ought to
be allowed to get our breath • after a
night's travel on the cars before being'
called upon to face an audience. hire.
Longley must think we are speaking
machines to be able to talk without a
moment's notice. She then said that if she
must talk, she wanted to say something
concerning the aspects of the cause
as viewed by outsiders. It was said
women did not ask for the right to vote.
This might be true to a certain extent;
but it was for the want of proper educa
tion and development. The women of
this country, and of all countries, were
sluggish. They. were in a dormant con
dition, and could not go ' forward
—they had no aim in life be - -
1 yond marrying, making a show,
parading the excellence- of etheir
clothing., and exciting admiration among
men. (Cheers) All theae things preven
ted our seizing hold of any opportunities
that may be open to us. and we need to
be incited to nobler duties -and higher
aspirations. Mrs. Livermore made a
fine impression, and was enthusiastically
cheered on closing.
The following committees were then
appointed: On reaolutiOnA Mrs: D. Mor
