The question of amending the con-
stitution of Nebraska so as TO bestow
the tight of suffrage upon all women
of proper age was submitted to the
people of that state 1T the last election,
and has been rejected by very large
majority. The returns are not all IN
yet, but the majority already known
reaches 10000 in total vote of about
5000, and the probability is that the
counties vet to hear from will increase
rather than diminish the size of the
negative vote. The question was sub
mitted under very favorable circum-
stances, and before the election the
suffragists were quite sanguine of sue
cess. A sort of national convention of
the ladies' favorable to that idea was
held at Omaha just prior to the cleo
ton, to give an impetus to the move
ment, III which many of the well
known advocates of womans enfran-
chisement were present. Some OF
them stumped the state for the amend
ment and the question was freely dis
cussed in the newspapers, so that it
created considerable excitement. The
result is the overwhelming defeat of
the proposition, and the men OF that
state will continue to do the voting.
This adverse action by the citizens of
Nebraska, which was supplemented on
the same day by the people of Rhode
Island, may be taken as conclusive
evidence that the proposition to confer
the ballot upon the women is not gain
ing ground in this country. The opin-
ion seems to be prevalent among con-
servative people that the right of
suffrage has already been made too
free and too cheap in this country, and
that it ought to be curtailed rather
than extended.

The verdict WAS so overwhelming and
unanimous that I'll classes are trying to
figure out what it meant. The result
gives the democrats twenty two gov

gives the republicans the United States
