NEW YORK, July 3l.- Elizabeth Cady
Stanton and Susan b. Anthony, Presi-
dent and Vice-President of the National
Woman's Suffrage association, issued AN
ADDRESS to the members, making some
suggestions to the workers why they
snoulu remain steadfastly with the po-
lltlcal party that for the last quarter OF a
century has most faithfully
represented the fundamental prin.
cipies of Republican sgovernment. The
address says: At the opening of the
next session, with our bills and reports
wanting their turn on the calendars ot
Doth houses, it Is to the Republicans we
must look for discussion and division on
our questions, and did they constitute
two-thirds majority, we should conf
IDENTITY hope for the passage of
resolution to submit the forty-fiith
amendment, but we have nothing to
expect from any of the other parties
now struggling into existence. AS to
me Greenback and Anti-Monopoly par
ties, with their quasi recognition
Oh woman's political equality
ana rank and file of Sc
ceding Democrats and workingmen
VINO Will constitute his supporters
Hon. B. +. Butler would be powerless to
help us. The Prohibitionists thus dis.
posed of us, TO make woman suffrage
the tail to their kite is to DEFY the laws
OF gravitation. Prohibition could not Sc
cure woman suffrage, but woman suf
rage Is only power by which prohibi-
tlon could he made possible.
Ihose demanding recognition of God in
lhe constitution, are reminded by the
ADDRESS, that the best recognition men
oI TINS nation can make of God in the
Z N
TO their mothers. The recent detection OF
some prominent friends from the Repub-
mean party, who have spoken bravely
ana eloquently for many years on our
PLATFORM, must not mislead the unwary
AS their action has in no way been infil.
enced by their interest OH the sutfraq,
| question. In fact their remarkable
somersault, as far as we can see, is moi
to illustrate any vital princi-
pies, but merely to CRAFTY
personal pique. 1t is moi
that they hate Cleveland less but Blaine
more, and that such men as Geo. VIM,
curtis, Jas. freeman Clark and Thos.
| wentworth Higgins have come down
from their high moral platform 10
swamp their votes with the Dem
ocratic party. The result OF
this last secession, were H.
proportions equal to its virtue of its pre-
tensions, would be to throw the admin.
istration of the Government into tho
hands of the Democratic party, not into
those of Cleveland who, were he pos
sessed of all the cardinal virtue,
claimed, and in addition thereto. III,
crowning excellence of adhesion
to the great principles OF
the political freedom of woman, he
should do nothing for any reform with
Congress and constituency, nineteenth
of whom are blind and bitter opponent
liberal measures. Suppose on the other
of all hand the Republican candidate.
James G. Blaine, were wantD in al
public and private virtues, Mith Con
gress and constituency, three
iourths of whom are our trends. He
could do nothing to hinder the passap,
of the amendment, but he is friendly.
His name stands recorded with thr
"ayes" on all questions affecting th,
interests of woman brought befor,
Congress Tor many years. Thus,
in MIR. Blaine We have nominee in har
mony with the Republican majority in
Congress. Hence, our hope of securing
the iniatitive: step to make suffrage fol
woman, the supreme law, tho triumph
of Republicans. For these reasons, n
we have no votes TO offer, we should
give our earnest, conscientious support
to the Republican party.
