lT is very evident, from accounts, that Mr..
Blaine is not believer in female politicians,

political body of the nineteenth century so low, or
its SOUL so thick, that speaker must needs below
like Texas OK, or beat like trip-hammer in Or
der to reach its intelligence? If this be true, po-
tical bodies need regeneration, and their sensbil-
titles quickened by the presence of women, both as
hearers and speakers. The ''magnetic" statesman
here shows questionable taste, spiced with some
thing akin to party ingratitude, when he points his
remarks by personal reference to Miss Anthony,
for of all women now before the public, Miss An
thony is certainly the most faithful follower of Re-
publican principles. Her love and faith have never
waned through all the years that her doctrines have
been steadily repudiated by that party.
Woman's chronicle. (Little Rock, Ark.) 1888-1???, 1888-11-24

The friends Of the woman's cause are steadily
increasing. In the recent election many of the
successful candidates were advocates of woman's
suffrage. Mr.. Cleveland has affirmed it as his be-
lief that woman suffrage is sure to come, while Mr.
Harrison during his term in the United States SEN
ate favored the Sixteenth Amendment. Hamilton
Wilcox, in the New York Star, declares that one
thing is settled by the late presidential canvass
women have come into practical politics, and come
to stay. Both parties have availed themselves of
their aid both have Endorsed their taking part.
The bugbear of dragging her skirts in the mire of
politics" is dead, and the one person who has
wrought this grand result is Mrs. Judith Ellen
Foster We may not share her party views, but
none who know the facts can help admiring the
courage, devotion and skill wherewith she has
toiled. 7''S
