>             On Thursday evening I delivered an address before the Political Equality Club, in Geological Hall, to an audience that filled the room.  Mrs. Howell, the president, was away, and Mrs. Chapin again presided.  Mrs. Caroline Gilkey Rogers, of Lansingburg, acted as secretary.
>             Mr. Veeder, the leading photographer in Albany, has arranged a card which is significant of the set of popular feeling.  In the centre is a view of the new capitol.  Around this are arranged photographs of forty members of the present Assembly, with the words “N. Y. State Legislators in 1885.”  Beneath these are portraits of six ladies, Mrs. Gage, Mrs. Howell, Mrs. Rogers, Mrs. Chapin, Miss Stoneman, and myself.  Below these is inscribed, “and those who ought to be in 1886.”  These cards, they tell me, are having a large sale.
>             The woman suffrage bill, which appeared in your issue of Dec. 18, entitled “An act to enfranchise the women citizens of the State,” was, I may be permitted to say (as there seems to be some confusion about it) drawn by myself.  It meets with very general approval, and will be presented on one of the first days of the session.             L. D. B.
