A FEMALE SUFFRAGE ORGANIZATION. -

On Friday last, after the addresses delivered by Miss Anthony and Mrs. Duniway at the Brown Church, which was attended mostly by the ladies of this city, an organization of a Female Suffrage Society was effected for Seattle. It is intended as an aid society for the furtherance of the aims of ladies desiring to indulge in the privileges incident to the use and right of the ballot, but was more immediately designed for the purpose of having some concert of action among our would-be woman voters relative to the selection of suitable ones from amongst their numbers to attend the Woman's Convention which is to come off at Olympia on Wednesday next. The Delegates chosen were Mesdames W. O. Brown, Laura Hall, S. B. Yesler, Wiggins, May and Miss L. M. Ordway, to which list were afterwards added the Hon. John Denny, the Rev. J. F. Damon, and the Rev. Daniel Bagley.
