GREELEY.
HE GOES FOR THE WOMAN
SUFFRAGISTS.
THE PHILOSOPHER SARCASTIC.
HIS CAUSTIC REFERENCE TO
MRS. WOODHULL.

NEW YORK, August 8. Horace Greeley
has addressed the Golden Age, defining his
views on the woman question: saying that
while he docs not deny that persistent
and Hagitious adultery Of husband or wife
affords good ground for divorce, transient
infdelity to the marriage vows, under the
influence Of passions, inaamed by wine or
other unnatural excitement, should not if
repented, be admitted as reasons for d.
vorce.
The doctrine Of remarriage in those
widowed by death should be governed BY
circumstances. In the main, where couples
are happily united, II viii bc better In
higher life II neither married q second
time. The main spring OF hi, hostility to
woman suffrage is due TO the conviction
that the marriage tic has coercing
power, and that woman suffrage is moral
1y impossible on that account. He says
he has written little of what has ap-
pesred in the Tribune editorially on this
subject during the past ten years, and con-
cludes by saying
IL believe our countrymen are indebted
to you for having discovered, perhaps I
should say invented, me as a possible,
though most improbable candidate for the
presidency Allow me, then, to thank
you for. your early and frank demonsta-
ton. can in no contingency be q can
didate on your side, for, as the woman
suffrage candidate, as you forcibly and

biiity Of my ultimately adapting my

guine dreamer to hope for my con-
version. have grown old in my opn.
ions, and lately firm. An advanced
female Of the Laura Fair type, who kill:
her psrmour, whom she claims 10 be her
rightful affinity and gives the lie in open
court to the wife she has doubly widowed,
is my pet aversion. But why should any
man be the candidate for the presidency Of
the woman suffrsgists? feel that the
candidate should be woman. She ought,
moreover, 10 be one thoroughly emanci-
pated from the absurdity, folly, narrow
ness and baleful conservatism which l am
too old to outgrow. Could you not find
one who illustrates in her own personal
history what you so felicitiously term the
"iibersl tn ought Of this enlightened age"
Let her be one who has two husbands of II
certain kind live in the same house with
them both, co-habiting with ono but bear
ing the name Of the other, to indicate her
impartiality, perhaps, and the cause and
candidate will be so fltly mated that there
will be no occasion, even under their most
liberal, progressive enlig htened regime
to sue for divorce. Could not one Of
this class be persuaded to ovcrbcar her
shrinking modesty and nominate her
