FEMALE POLITICIANS.

in the centre of her amily--as the soolhrr of do
nestle woes, the trusting confdant. the amiable
mother, and the ornament of the fireside and the
family circle. When she dcsccnds from these TO
make speeches at political meetings. to present
flags to lnilamcd politicians, to sing rowdy songs
with tavern brawicrs and to ride IN political pro-

with the Miss Yields and the Anna ROYALS. of the
day. And yet these things have come to pass in
our own good CITY, but, thank God not in the

MORE BRITISH WING ARGUMENT.

argument was endorsed:

CONSISTENCY.

We have discovered new and peculiarly bril-
liant specimen of consistency, and that is, to see
the members of our churches associaling with, and
elecllng to office, debauchces and nlucklegs, and
endcavoring to raise an excitement against among
the ladies about our morality, because we have cen
surcd the unnatural business of their meddIing with
politics, through the columns of ii paper edited by
an nidel, Secretary to Tom Paine Society, and
publisher of an lnfdcl paper
If that is not consistency, will the ladies tell us

This 10000 majority they have reduced first to 0,
900, and then 5000 but it seems that they are
not yet low enough. The New York .N6W Era,
of Saturday last states, that "By the official

Governor Dudley in August 1886, was chosen
