THE PRESIDENCY.


All the mems newspapers Of the Ma
tion, whether big, little, old or young,
are interested at present in President
making. Each one speaks with the au-
thority Of irrevocable fiat in favor OF its
own would-be bright particular star, and
in advocacy Of its own or its party's pc
culiar proclivities. Some Of the Repub-
lican papers are for Grant, but SEEM
ingly more are for Blaine. The Demo-
cratic organs are also about equally d.
vided in their choice OF candidates, some
preferring Tilden and others hurrahiug
for Field.
This Presidential fight is not the
"women's funeral" and they can afford
to look on in quiet wonder while these
two powerful contestants are wrangling
over the partisan bones Of politics. And
yet, they realize that there is an i'm
portant significance in the different
Rational ideas Of these leading parties
that tie wise woman has no disposition
TO overlook. The Republican party rep
reseuts-or ought to-the idea Of the
rights Of the many the Democratic the
idea Of the rights Of g class. The one is
-,alion al, the other sectional yet both
have fallen short Of practically carrying
out The wishes Of the most enlightened
Of their constituents. Their leaders are
controlled in the meshes Of petty yet
tvraunical power that moulds their ac-
tions 10 suit its own narrow vision.

Of h. own judgment in the administra-
ton Of Federal affairs, he would doubt
less make an efficient President for the
class now in power, not forgettingto use
his personal influence to enlarge the
rights and opportunities Of the subju-
gated sex. But the trouble is that there
alwsy exists a power behind the throne
that is greater than the throne itself,
and that power is not the people, as
many claim, but a designing, merce-
nary and narrow-minded few, who get
the inside track by dogged impudence,
and keep it by sheer persisteney. Such
men can no more clearly see the high
neral ground upon which a President
should stand, or comprehend the unself-
ish motives from which he should act,
than they can see or comprehend the
fact that the Nation would get on much

There are in Massachusetts, $1,000
more women than men. Out OF the en-
tire number Of 79l, 900, more than $4,000
have some occupation 10y which they
support themselves, entirely or in part.
Among that number are those engaged
in all kinds OF manufactures and ma

making, types aud hardware goods, as
well as in more delicate employment.
They overflow into printing establish

LETTER AND ANSWER,

The following letter, from Matilda
Joslyn Gage, Chairman Of the Execu-
tive Committee OF the National Woman
Suffrage Association, explains itself:
SYRACUSE, New York. April :, 1880.
MY DEAR Mrs. DUNIwAY :-Wiu you come
as delegate 20 the nominating Conventions,
and attend the Indianapolis Convention and
the Chicago mass meeting Can you not
make your way across the country lccturing
as you did before . This IS a very important
year in our reform, and we need your aid, and
that Of an wide-awake, energetic women.
Miss Anthony thinks that with a light admis-
sion fee al the mass meeting we viii bring I'm
enough % help pay the fare OF delegates. Can
you not come Please Iei me know no once.
This meeting is % be held June "a, the day OF
the Republican Convention, and we hope 20
make IL as telling a demonstration as was the
National meeting in Washington City recently.
I hope you viii give the call Tor the mass
meeting place In your paper until 70 comes
of, and call editorial attention 20 It, urging
every Woman suGsagist 20 send a postal card
asking for the ballot We wish % produce
effect upon the nominating Conventions.
Please notify me AZ once and give me asssur-
ance Of your presence. Truly yours,
MATILDA JosLFS GAGE,
Chm Ex. Com. y. W. S. 4.
We are very sorry that circumstances
compel US to answer no to the above
fattering invitation. It will require q
greater outlay to meet the travelling ex-
penses Of one delegate from the Pacific
Northwest than for twenty from any
part OF the States east Of the Rocky
Mountains. We have not the time nor
strength TO work our way across the
continent this year. The work in the
home field requires all the financial as
sistance we can bestow upon it, and we
know that the friends OF the cause in
the East cannot afford to render US aid
in any way adequate TO our ratio Of ex-
penses. Our outlay would be hundreds
to their tens, and really we cannot af-
ford it. We hope, however, 10 be rep
resented in the Chicago Convention aud
mass meeting by an Oregon lady.

What the Old Statesman Has to Say-The Nom
nations Meet His Hearty Approval.
utica, N. Y, Special in Enquirer of Saturday.
All good Democrats are well pleased
with the nomination of Hancock and
English at Cincinnati, General James
McQlade and the men of the Fifth and
Second Army Corps organized a Pioneer
Hancock Club within five minutes after
the nomination was announced, and are
wearing the shamrock badge tonight.
Your correspondent found Governor
Seymour resting, after the heat of the
the day, at Senator Conkling's home,
where he is spending a few days in the
absence of his wife. When asked how
the nomination Of Hancock at CinCin-
natl pleased him, he said:
Governor SEYMOUR consider the
nomination a good one, made in a good
way and in a good spirit, While many
we're opposed to placing military men in
the Presidential chair, in the case OF
General Hancock they will all feel that,
by the respect which he has ever shown
to the law in the performance of his du.
ties, he has illustrated the force of the
maxim which is found in 80 many of the
original constitutions of the old States
that the military should always be sub.
ordinated 10 the civil authorities. 1t ia

chance to show that she would cordially

hatred Of their own country now, and
who were constantly using language that
showed a desire to rekindle the animos.
tiles between the North and South, but
who were careful to stay at home during
the war. General Hancock, by compar.
ison, brings to the public mind the truth
that no man wants to fight now except
those who did not when they had g
chance"
Reporter-Is there any thing to be

Governor Seymour-No. On the con,
trary, there are many reasons why the

THE following is what the wife Of an
army officer says Of Gen. Hancock; "If
the country only knew General Han
cocks private life as do his intimate
friends-if the people only knew how
good a citizen, husband and father he is
they would give him an overwhelm-
ing majority. He is a noble, whole
souled mar in private life, and that is
the place to know a man as he really is,
He has been faithful in all the trying
and perplexing positions which he has
held. But he has never been wanting
in manhood, ability or executive capa-
city. He is a true citizen-one of ma
ture's noblemen-an honor to his friends
to his profession and to his country. He
will not only have the solid Democratic
vote, but Republicans will vote for him.
and he will make a President that every
citizen may be proud of. There is not a
ran, woman or child who knows Gen
eral Hancock well but will bear me out
when say he is a typical and repre-
sentative man of the age-with a beau
tiful face, an intellectual head, the frame
of an old knight and a bearing that
stamps him a hero-ah hero born to COM
mand, His conduct and wise course in
regard to the political questions which
were agitating the country at the time
he was in command at New Orleans won
the gratitude of the Southern people and
the respect of the North"
