their best at both tho Cincinnati aud
Baltimore Conventions to obtain some
sort Of recognition or favor at the
hands of the Democracy and the So
called Liberal Republicans, but sig
naIly failed in obtaining even a hear
ing ; their claims and appeals were
totally Ignored. "Hell knows no fury
like a woman scorned." and sadly and
rescntfully they turned away from
those In whom they had placed their
hopes, to reflect upon the real encour-
agement already given them BY the
true men Of the country. the loyal Re-
publican party the party ever ready
to give to all mankind their natural,
social, and political rights. regardless
of color sex or condition. The Ma
tioual WoIuan's Suffrage Associa-
ton has issued q circular on
this subject, being an appeal to the
women Of America, from which we
make the following extracts:
The Republican party has been the
party Of ideas, OF progress. Under Its
leadership the nation came safely
through the fiery ordeal OF, the rebel
lion ; under It slavery was destroyed ;
under 1t manhood suffrage VAS estsb-
lished. The women Of the country
have long looked to 1t in hope, and not
i'll vain ; tor to-day we are launched
BY IL into the political arena, and the
| Republican party must hereafter fight
our battles for Us. Thi, great party.
this progressive party, having taken
the Initiative step, will never 20 back
on Its record. 1t needed this new aud
vital issue to keep 1t In life, for Gin
cinnati Endorsed It's work up to this
hour ; the constitutional amendments,
tire payment OF the bonds In gold, the
civil service reform. the restoration ot
the States. II thanked the soldiers and
sailors Of the Republic, 1t proposed
lands to actual settlers. The Republi-
can party went up higher 1t rernem-
bored all citizens. The widows and
orphans Of the soldiers and sailors
were not forgotten it acknowledged
It's obligation to the loyal women OF
the Republic, and to the demands for
additional rights Of all women, what
ever their class, color, or, birth. 1t
promised respectful consideration"
It, second plank declared that "com-
plete liberty aud exact equality In the
enjoyment Of all civil, political, aud
public rights should be established and
m%ainuinvd throughout the Union by
efficient aud appropriate State and
Federal legislation" These two planks
are the complement of each other, and
are the promise Of exact aud equal JUS
lice to women. General Grant, In his
letter, expresses his desire to See 1.-THE
time when the title Of Citizen shall
carry with it all the protection. and
| privilege to the huInblest, that 1t does
to the most exalted" His course since
his elevation to the Presidency has al-
rights for women lie has officially
recognized their competency aud has
given them many Government posi-
tions. Senator Wilson Is an old mud
>taunch advocate OF woman suffrage,
aud his letter III pointed terms refers
to the recognition given women by his
party, and says, Ito her new demands
it extends the hand Of grateful recog-
milton and It conmendS her demands
tor additional rights to the calm aud
careful consideration Of the nation
While the old aud tried Republican
party In its platform and candidates
thus gives woman assurance that her
claim to equal political rights Is to be
respected. the other party In the field
gives her no promise either in Its plat
form or the letters Of It's nominees.
The Liberal Republican party is new
party ; IL has no record 1t has done no
work ; It l. wholly uutried ; It ignores
women. aud by Its silence In regard to
the equal right. Of one-half OF the
people-the most important question
now in the political horizon-it proves
itself unworthy Of It's name. unworthy
Of woman's confidence. aud unworthy
the votes Of truly liberal men. Horace
Greeley, Its chief nominee, has for
years been our most bitter, scathlng
opponent. Both BY tongue and pen
he has heaped abuse, ridlcule and mis-
representation upon u = leading
women, while the whole power Of the
Tribune has been used to crush out our
great reform. And now that he Is \
candidate for election to the highest
office in the country, he still continues
his bitter aud hostile course toward
one-half Of its citizens. He presses the
iron heel Of his despotism upon their
liberties; and, In answer to our ap.
peals, lie says he neither desires our
help nor believes Us capable Of giving
any,"
What can liberty expect from such
4 man? What can woman hope
from such a party? Women Of the
Republic. you cannot In self.respect
give your aid TO such nominees ; you
cannot In self-respect work for such a
party. It has repulsed you, pushed
you back. said to you, Ego hence"

Let lis lay aside Il party preferences.
L.et-us II and all forget many
grievances Of the past, let us forget
the many times we have been Ignored,

Let Us throw our whole influence of

In making it 4 success for the Repub-
lican party, make It a success for our
selves.
