The police were appealed to in vain, and the meeting finally closed in the midst of tumult and confusion.

The Tribune under the management of Greeley, and the Evening Post under that of William Cullen Bryant, condemned the rioters with the greatest severity, but the other leading dailies of New York sustained the mob spirit and made the ladies a target for ridicule and condemnation.
After leaving New York, Miss Anthony went to the Fourth National Woman's Rights Convention at Cleveland, O., which was one of the largest and most enthusiastic that had been held.

It was attended by many noted people, among them Hon.

Joshua R.Giddings, always a consistent advocate of woman's rights, and the proceedings were marked with perfect order and propriety.

Miss Anthony was continued at the head of the finance committee, as it was found that no one could raise so much money.
