VICE-PRESIDENT WILSON ON FEMALE SUFFRAGE.—Vice-President Wilson attended the Woman Suffrage Convention Friday, and was appealed to by Miss Anthony to say a word in behalf of the cause. She knew his heart was with them, and she hoped if he would not come on the platform he would rise in his seat and give them a word of encouragement. The Vice-President arose from his seat in the center of the hall and said:
"I wish simply to say that I am under imperative orders to make no speeches on any subject. I will add, however, that twenty years ago I came to the conclusion that my wife, my mother and my sisters were as much entitled to the right of suffrage as myself, and I have not changed my mind since."
