PortIand, Oetober 2, IssO.

A Topeka (Kansas) correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune writes follows of the political influence
of women in that State during the recent heated
campaign: ~ overheard a man say that hereto
fore his wife had taken no interest in politics. but
this time she said to him, Now, husband you 90
down to Topeka and vote for st. john 1t does
seem that the wives and mothers are aroused, and
have good authority for the following story:
When the amendment was hanging by a slender
thread in the House, and it required one vote to
secure its passage the wife of one of the members
attained access to the floor, and going up to her
husband entreated him TO vote for prohibition
Her action was successful, and upon that woman's
appeal it may be said all of the heat and warmth
of the gubernatOrial contest rested"
The editor of the Jacksonville Times prates of
the Legitimate sphere" of women Will this
learned philosopher define their "sphere" and ex-
plain how he comes by the right to name or limit
the duties or privileges of any class? We hope
for a satisfactory reply from one who has given
the subject the years of careful consideration and
deep study necessary to enable him to positively
assert that there is 'sphere" within which
women should be kept.
We haste to correct our statement that the edi-
tor of the Pomeroy Lpdcpeade1t wants a WIFE
He admits that he is married. and says he handles
two fine girls on his knee. The question arises,
Are they his daughters do they belong to other
families? Please be explicit, Brother.

woman's wrongs, imposed upon her by father,
husband, sons and brothers, and even lovers"

no TRADING.


Yesterday the little Tammany fell
lows at the corner drug store were
busIly circulating the report that Ma
sons friends were trading Off DR..
Alexander and G. p. Burkhart for
votes for him.
This Is another arrant, barefaced
lie. Neither Dave Mason or his
friends have ever offered to trade on
any part of the ticket, aud not only
himself but every other candidate on
the Democatic ticket, Is determined
that there shall be no swapping II
they can prevent It.
There Is no necessity for dlckerlng
away votes from our ticket. We
have round two hundred and
fifty majority In the county, and can
and will elect eee,y man. So every
Democrat on or Off the ticket, can
well afford to veto STRAIGHT, from
State Senator to Congress.
No trading Is the Democratic

Mason's friends heard him, and

telegraplied over here, and Mason
procured horse and got over there
before Baum could leave town.
Mason Immediately hnnted up this
champion OF the prohibitory liquor

SAID he had misunderstood Massn;
he didn't believe Mason had ever
