A BIC GUN.-We preceive by the
women-abusing papers. that one Thad'
deus II. Walker appears to be the big
gun at present actively working against
the "pernicious doctrine" This Thad.
deus Il. Walker is pleasant, clever gen.
tlsmsn. o heavy land speculator in Kan
sss, whose permanent home is in the
East. He owns about half the vacant
land in half the Counties of the State,
which goes to sale every year for delin.
quent taxes. This makes him authority
on the suffrage question.
We believe there ar, some very wealthy
women in the East who are 10 favor of
female suffrage. We suggest that they
buy up the balance of the vacant land in
the State. and neglect to pay the taxes
for two or three years at a time. until
their names in the delinquent list become
marked. This will give them right to
mix in our State politics. and make them
powerful opponents of Thaddeus H.
Walker.
