not be abriged by the United States or any
state on account OF sex was favorably re-
ported to-day by Senator Blair from the
select committee on woman's suffrage.
The report recommending the adoption Of
the resolution after reviewing the history
OF the woman suffrage movement and maxi
ing some comments upon the denial Of the
right Of suffrage TO woman as an injustice
equal to that OF negro slavery, concludes as
follows: "Unless this government shall
be made and preserved truly republican In
form by the enfranchisement OF woman,
the great reforms which her ballot would
accomplish NAV never be. The demorali.
zation and disintegretation now proceeding
In the body polite are not likely
soon TO be arrested. The corruption OF
male suffaaee Is already well nigh fatal
disease. A republican form Of government
cannot survive half slave and half free.
The ballot Is withheld from woman because
men are not willing TO part with one half
the sovereign power. There Is no other
cause for the continued perpetuati0n OF
this unnatural tyranny. Enfranchise wo.

and tragic catastrophe which has engulfed

ton, Will be reported hereafter.
