Women Suffrage. Prescription.

ED. PERRYsBURa JOURNAL Dear Sir:
With extreme regret we observe from your
editorial of March 9th, that you disap.
prove the position taken by the Toledo We
man Suffrage Association, regarding tie
withdrawal of monetary patronage from
opponents to woman's legal and political
acknowledgements. Our regret at your po-
sition regarding the question, is heightened
from the fact that your views have hitherto
been favorable to the cause of equal wo-
man rights, and that you have gerer-
ously extended your aid and influence to
the workers in reform whose object is 10
elevate women legally and politically above
the status of minors, felons and fools. We
think however, that you somewhat miscom-
prehend our action, and earnestly hope that
n little reflection OF the suhjec will convince
YOU that in the step we have taken, to aid
those financially who are ready to uiI us
onward to gain legal and political liberty
we are not unfit to exercise the right of suf-
trage. A few weeks since, petition signed
by many of our leading business men, was
sent to Washington to the Hon. Frank
Hard, urging him to employ all legal
means to aid the lawfully elected President
to assume the duties, honors and emolu-
ments of the highest official position in
the gift of the nation. Some of the friends
of tho present Presidential incumbent
called this treason and forbade their wives
to purchase goods of the merchants wi o
had signed the petition. These gentlemen
who had thus prescribed those - who
differed with them were voters, and
their fitness to exercise the right of the
ballot has never been questioned. Unlike
these gentlemen, we rs woman snlfragists,
would prescribe to none those rights OF po.
| lititicRl liberty which we are lahoring to
obtain for ourselves We do not set our
selves mp against any principle Of Repub'
lican Government. II we could vote, we
might initiate those who are now voter
and we might not. Like those who favor
Gov. Hayes for the Presidency, we disclainl
all intolerance, We wage no war against or.
thOdoI or heterodox religious views, and
while we have no desire to punish any one
opposed 10 womans loyal aud political ele
Vation, we shall, strennonsly and bravely
maintain degree OF self-resIect 40 higl
that whRt monetary patronage we have
shall not be bestowed upon those men or VIC,
men who openly prOmulgate the doctrine
of woman's infrmity, and who would limit
her sphere, legally aud politically, to thai
OF the idiot, the criminal and the minor
On the contrary, we shall aim to aid tn,
material prosperity Of those who instead o
denying woman's right to the emoluments
privileges aud blessings OF full American
citizenship, advocate II, and advance il, by
signing petitions for its contamination.

Many persons have supposed that the
decision of the Supreme Court in the
PHELPS 'ScHHoEpEs cWse virtually settled
the county seat contest. Such conclusion
gives entirely too much scope to that deci-
sion. The question Ms to the right of
County Clerk to refuse the record Of prop
erly certified township election returns has
not been submitted to that tribunal I'M.
irammeled by other questions. When SO
submitted, we are not prepared to believe
that the Court will for a moment entertain
the proposition that County Clerk may
disfranchise township at pleasure, either
with or without evidence of fraud. He is
not authorized to pass upon questions Of
that character. The law prescribes the
methods by which Irregularities Mt cleo
tions may be ascertained and punished,
and the Supreme Court will scarcely under
take to establish a new method, unknown
to the laws of the State, for condemninS
elections and Furnishing electors. Not.
withStanding recent developments may
cause some to believe that the voters OF
Perrysburg township have no rights which
the Supreme Court will protect, we are
not prepared TO entertain such view OF
the subject. Let the issue be iairly and
"qnarely made and passed upon before con.
dcmning the Court.

The TIeslo Canmtrciai attempts to justi-
sy the Acknowledgement OF n township for
the purpose OF securing partisan victory
involving quite large amount Of official
patronage. We are not disposed to believe
that our Toledo contemporary can gain any
thing in moral influence by apologixing
for an infamous crime; nor do we think
il promotes the interests of the R;publi-
can party by undertaking TO make said
party responsible for the crimes of few
members of the party. The whole argu-
nent OF the CJmmercidl is based upon the
statement that the Perrysburg election
board, in the fall of 1875, was composed
entirely of Democrats. That is moi true.
Two members OF that board were Republi-
cans We do not believe anything can be
gained, "in the long rum" by resort to
fAlsehood, or by attempts to mislead read
ers by getting mp side issues which really
have no bearing upon the points under DIS
cusSion. II the Commercial can show that
the voters of Perryrburg township we're not
'liSfranchised for the purpose OF securing
Republican majority in the State Senate
woshall be more than gratifcd to publish
the evidence. II it cannot do this, would
it not be better TO denounce the Infamous
transaction and the men who concoctcd
and carried it out, than to undertake ia
saddle the crime upon the Republican,
