ANOTHER SHARP SPEECH FROM
GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN.

The following is a report from George
Francis Trains Madison, Mo-, speech on
female suffrage and on the National
Debt. He says:
"What about woman's suffrage, asked
Senator.
81 am for it."
Like Senator Wade, go for them
TApplause. 1t is the only self-hedgc
we can have on the negro's voting. [Oh,
and Kisses I believe with these dis
tinguished Senators, that a woman is a
man and brother. Loud cheers and
laughter Women are more virtuOus
than men more moral, less brutal. Be
sides, women rule their homes-why not
help save the nation? ? Applause. Give
US woman's suffrage and 1 will organize
a million of my Irish girls to vote down
Fifth avenue and vote your speaker into
the White House. Loud cheers and
some dissent.
Women should vote. Why should the
plantation boor-the unlettered, igno-
rant African, whose hair grows.up and
back into his head like the Banyan tree
leg is set in the middle of his
foot laughter who has nine cubic in
ches less brain inside his thick skull
Thisses7 who has only one hundred and
Fifty pores to the square inch of cuticle,
which accounts for US being able to smell
him forhaIf a mile laughter and Kisses
why should this half savage of the back
woods plantations make laws for Anna
Dickinson or Harriet Bccchcr Stowe ?
lcgislate for your wives, honorable Sen
ators, or mine ? Applause.
What man dare say his souls his own
at his own table? How is it with you,
Train p I am the best managed hus-
band on the continent. Laughter. I
say am ready to take the stump for
woman suffrage. TApplause 1t will
purify the polls; they will vote down
houses Of bad reputo; vote down faro
banks vote down Groggeries; shut up
rum shops, and close the gin palaces
loud applause. They willvOte for men
for Office who are willing to preach this
sermon and practice it:
Don'tdrink don'tsmoke; don't chew;
don't swear; don't gamble; don't have
but one wife don't be a David or a Sol
omon; TOhI7 don't steal jewels, like
Moses. TApplause1 7 Don't cheat Esau,
like Jacob. Love God, but don't love
Cod so much that you have no time to
love your fellow man. Sensation Love
truth, love virtue, and be happy. Loud
applause.
Women will vote, every time, for that
platform. Again, in our day, the mo-
mcnt a man can borrow enough money
to settle it on his wife, he goes in for the
Bankrupt Law. Hence, the ewoman needs
votes to protect the property that belongs
to her husbands creditors. Applause
and laughter
A SENAToR--"What about the debt?'
Mr.. TRAIN-Do you want to know ?
Well, you shall have what you probably
have never seen before-a debit and a
credit Of the war, a profit and loss ac-
count.
!. You know that we Harebad agrand |
crIiJaion of frcoo2rEs, and n'ort9aged our
farm to pay for it. ["OhTl
2. The so called wealth of the farmer
consists in having his soldier boy in the
graveyard, and a thirty-seven in his
pocket in exchange. Sensation.
But here Is the account:

men and children, that it took three
generations Of white civilization to utal-

ing. TApplauso and considerable dissent,
the Radicals getting uneasy, and endav-
}rinc to stop Trains "exposition' of ma
ioual affairs. Train talked them all
lown, made fun Of their misses, and car
led his points to the evident disgust Of
