WOMAN'S RIGHTS.
Susan B. Anthony Issues an
Address Urging the Wo-
men to Support Jas.
G.. Blaine.

New York, July Sl.-EliZabeth Cady
Stanton and Susan 3. Anthony, resident
and vice president Of the National Wo-
mans Suffrage association, have issued an
address to the members, making some sug-
gestions to co-workers why they should re-
main steadfast with the political party that
for the last quarter of century has most
| faithfully represented the fundamental
principles of republican government.
The address says at the opening of the
next session with our Bills and reports
waiting their turn on the calendars OF both
houses, il is to the republicans we must
look for the discussion and division on our
questions. and did they constitute a two
thirds majority We should confidently hope
for the passage of the resolution TO submit
sixteenth amendment. But We have
NOTHING TO EXPECT.
from any of the other parties now strug-
Cling intoexistence as 10 greenback and
anti monopoly parties both their quasi rec
ognitions of political equality in their
platforms and rank and file of seeding
democrats and workingmen who will con-
stitute The supporters of Hon. 3. F. Butler
would be powerless to help us. The prohi
bitionist's disposition TO make woman suf-
frage the tail to their kite is to defy
the laws of gravitation. Prohibition could
not secure woman suffrage, but womsn suf-
frage is the only power by which prohibit
bition could De made possible. Those de-
manding
THE RECOGNITION OF GOD
in the constitution are reminded by the ad-
dress, THAT the best recognition the men
of this nation can make of God in the con-
stitution is to secure exact justice TO their
mothers" The recent detection of some of
our most prominent friends from the re-
publican parry, who have spoken bravely
and elOquenily for many years on our plat
form, must not misiead the members, as
their action has been In no way influenced
by their interest In the womens' suffrage
question. In fact their remarkable somer-
sault a. far as We Can see, is not ID ilius

crafty personal pique. 1t is not that
THEY HATE CLEVELAND LESS,
but Blaine more, that such men as George
William Curtis, James Freeman Clarke
and Thomas Wentworth Higginson have
come down from their high moral platform
to swamp their votes with the democratic
party. The result OF the last session were
lis proportion, equal to its vlrtuous preten-
tensions would be TO throw the admiuistra-
ton of the government into the hands of the
democratic party, not into those of Cleve-
land, who, though he was poss- ssed of all
the cardinal virtues claimed and in addi-
ton thereto, The browning excellence of

he could do nothing for any reform with
congress and the constituency, nine tenths
of whom are blind and bitter opponents of
all liberal measures. Suppose on the other
hand the republican candidate, James g.
Blaine, were wanting in all public and
private virtues with congress and the con-
stituency, three-fourths of whom are our
friends, he could do nothing to hinder the
passage OF the amendment but he is friend
ly. His name stands
RECORDED WITH THE AYES
on all questions affecting the interests of
women brought before congress for
many years. Thus in Mr..
Blai:e We have a nominee in
harmony with the republican majority in
hence our hope of securing the
inltiatory step to make suffrage for women
the supreme law of the land lies in the
triumphant success of the republican
party. For these reasons, as we have no
votes to offer, We should give our earnest,
SUPPORT TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY,
whose chosen leader is one of the ablest |
statesmen our country can boast, and who, |
if elected, will with the noble women of |
his family circle honor the white house |
and the highest Office in the gift of the
American. people.
