Mrs. Zerelda g. Wallace lectured before

this evening, ''Womans Suffrage" After
discussing the question from its various stand
points, she urged upon the Legislators to adopt q
resolution calling upon Congress TO adopt a six
teenth amendment to the Constitution, prohibit
ing the States from denying the right of fran
chise on account of sex. She said that IN every
State in the Union where the Legislature was
in session. this same petition was be-
ing made. and everywhere the prospect
was encouraging. Mrs. Wallace made earn
est presentation of her side of the question, and
at the close was warmly applauded. Among
other things, she predicted great perls In store
for this country il the rights of the ballot were
not accorded woman. She based this on the
sumption that politics are now rotten to the
core and have been going from bad to worse for
the past fifty years Matters political will

POLITICAL NOTES

THE New Hampshire Republicans are going
energetically to work to redeem the Second
congressional district in that State. which they
lost in 1886 by los plurality.
Col. V. A. GAsKILL, prominent and ipfiu-
entail Democrat in Rutland, VT, is so disgusted
with Clevelands hypocrisy in the matter of ths
civil service reform that he will hereafter CO.
operate with the Republican party. He ex-
presses his views in the Rutland Herald to the
extent of several columns.
PITTsBURGDispatch It is one OF the anus in e
features of politics TO find that when Mr.. George
confines himself exclusively to his free trade
hobby, the Boston Herald, which last spring
could find nothing too severe TO express it's con-
domination OF that earnest reformer, begins to
discover that he is a pretty good fellow after
all.
THE disadvantage of registry law under GER
tain circumstances is shown by Mr.. Jay Hub
bell. who explains the falling off in the Repub-
1ican vote in the Eleventh Michigan district as
follows: you see, about one.third of the
miles 20 vote. and before they do SO they must
be registered, which necessitates two trips, and
that is rather unpleasant when the snow is four
and a half feet Deep
A SIGNIFICANT bit of news is floating through
the New York State papers. 1t is that Smith
M. Weed, the willy political manipulator of the
Tilden campaign has decided to 60 on a years
tour through foreign lands. No reason is pub
licy assigned for this neglect of his party's in
terests on the eve of presidential battle. but it
is known that he has sympathy with the
free trade Democrats now top. and does not
propose to support Mr.. Cleveland second time.
He will not, however, antagouize him, and goes
abroad as the easiest way out of the difficulty.
Mr.. DICK TREvELLIcK. knight OF Labor ad-
vances the following valuable opinion through
the columns of a Detroit paper:
81 believe that had Blaine stayed in the field
there would have been a strong to put
Powderiy the ticket with him. Powderly
was not in this movement but his friends were.
You know Powderly is a strong protectionist;
that's the funny thing about him. / have never
talked with better reasoner all matters of
philosophy, religion. etc, but when you say free
trade to him it is like showing red rag to a.
bull His reason Immediately forsakes him and
he becomes absolutely wild. 1t is just so with
all Pennsyivanians. They seem to be born pro-
tectionsts."

ished Republican majority in the Eleventh
Michigan district means a growing sentiment
in free-trade, the Detroit Tribune declares
that Breen, the Democratic candidate, spent
among the voters denying that he was free
trader, and telling the people that he was a

to all men on the tariff question that your
Democratic candidate can hope to win, and
even that policy doesn't always work, as Mr..
Breen can testify.
