which supported female suffrage in the
late campOign, calling on them to support

frags as the platform. Il argued ably 10
favor of such move. telling them that
the four or Gvs thousand female suffrage
voters in Kansas could sweep the State at
the next election. We have no doubt
bat that euch 4 movement. or any other
lbat would tend to cause Discussions in
the Republican ra6ke, would suit the
Journal immensely. The organ Of Geo.

party most assursdly will be if sll kinds
Of notions and Issues ere to enter the next
campaign, must fall, aud hence it's anxiety
to have the female suffrage 6ght cOntiu-
usd. But We are glad TO see that the
more able and sensible papers Of the fe-
male suffrage persuasion, such as The
Burlington Patriot. White Cloud Chief,
and Topeka Record. are coming out
promptly against such . movement g.

doa't believe you care = shilling about
female suffrage any further than you can
subservs your party With it We are glad
to see that the Journals proposition 20
'swsep the State with Democratic votes
falls still born.
Neither can We see any use 10 the fee
be attempts being made here and there
to resuscitate the ''lost cause" We haYe
just had AZ exciting campaign on the
question. Every county and every
school district we're most thoroughly can
vasssd. Il has been stated that $50, 900
was spent to cary the proposition. New
sr was such 3 campaign made before.
What was the result? Out OF some
thirty five thousand votes in the Safe,
female suffrage re ceived little rising OF
six thousand. Two thousand Of these,
At least, we're cast by Democrats, aud
certainly no one will claim ths; they are
honestly in faver of the measure. or
HcOurse every mao in favor Off voted, and
the whole natural strength of the cause
may be put down at FIVE thousand votes,
or about one in seven. So soon after
such so ovsrw bsIming defeat, and in the
face of such an effort as Was made 10 cary
the measure, We should think it matter
of policy for them not to attempt to force
the measure upon the public again, at
this time. when the people are sgits ted
about questions of much more impor-
lance. We hope our next Legislature
will not be induced to submit tbs
qU' stioD again next year in any shape.
Pooh PAPER-Ws can assure our pat

which The News is printed now is 3

We are not to blame in the premises. We

using. We shall use il up and Shsn see
if We cant better the mStter. MeGn-
