SHARP-During the session of the
colored State Convention at Frankfort,
KY, the other day, motion to extend
the length of the session was agreed up
on. A delegate opposed to the project,
but who had not voted, objected to the
extension. He was ruled out of order,
as the vote had been taken. He then
asked and obtained general consent to
record his vote, and then voted in the
affirmative. He next quickly moved a
reconsideration Of the voteon the ground
that he had voted with the majority, as
demanded by parliamentary rules, car
ried the motion through and reversed the
decision of the Convention. Such shrewd-
ness would credit our best parliamenta-
rians.

The Suffrage Question.

Mr.. EDIToR.-In your issue of Feb.
% are several editorial notes and CON-
munications against "thrusting" the
ballot on the majority of women who do
not want it. In particular, one of the
majority" writes to the New York Trib-
une that she does not want to be drag
ged into a work " for which she thinks
herself by nature unfit. This is putting
the woman's rights" movement in an
entirely false light. There is no inten-
ton of dragging any one against her
will into the work Of politics "A small,
dissatisfied minority" does not wish to
force suffrage upon majority who "de-
test" the measure, but, on the other
hand, it is Eot right that the majority
should say to the minority: " We do
not want to vote and therefore you shall
not" The advocates of suffrage for
woman merely ask that those who wish
to vote may have the privilege. They
say: Give the ballot to every one ca
pable Of exercising it, and let those who
desire to cast it into the ballot box do
so, and those who would cast it into the
fire, cast it into the fire."
Fortunately large part of our coun.
trywomen are SO happily situated that
they little need more rights, but the
question does not concern them. 1t con-
Germs the few in positions Of misery or
degradation. Will enfranchisement bet
ter their condition? 1t is the task Of
those on both sides to answer this. To
this question, after considering the mat
ter Of abstract justice, which is an i'm
portant element in every reform, they
should direct their attention and argu-
ments.
Much ridicule among the inconsider-
ate and much disgust among those try
ing to look at the matter candidly, has
been excited against the movement by
the violence and bad taste of some of its
leaders, while, on the other hand, the
sympathies Of many good people have
been aroused in its favor by the cant Of
