ainly as any of our presidents, has given added significance
to the two great political conventions of the year. Neither party
has recognized her plea, but both have innumerable adherents who
openly declare themselves in favor of her principles. She states
that this year she felt for the first time that she had a pivot on
which to hang her quadrennial plea, and that pivot was Wyoming, the
men of that equal-minded State in both conventions holding up her
hands. Miss Anthony's pathetic eyes reveal that she has attained to
loneliness--the guerdon of great spirits who struggle from any
direction toward the mountain tops of human liberty. But on the
heights such souls meet God, and one day all women shall call her

Miss Anthony and Miss Shaw then hastened to Omaha for the first national
convention of the People's party July 4. They arrived about 9 P. M.,
July 2, to find they were booked for speeches at the Unitarian church
that evening and the audience had been waiting since 7:30, so they
rushed thither, hot, dusty and tired, and made their addresses. Sunday
