WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
Recent Vote In Massachusetts, Analysed
by Their Opponents.

by Their Opponents.
Boston, Dec. 5.--The Man Suffrage as
ISOLATION he's issued the following state
ment Ito the people Of Massachusetts,
Aftor e5 years of agitation by the suffrag-
lists the question Of municipal suffrage
for women has been brought TO test.
The voters have been asked their opinion
and have given an emphatic reply.
Never before has any question submitted
10 tho people OF Massachusetts, received SO
overwhelming defeat. The vote Of the
men was: No, 1859 yes, $1,000; no
majority OF g9,976, only "a short of a round
100000.
The vote OF the women on the suffrage
question-yes, 22,20i; no. S6i-is AS sig
nifcant as that Of the men. BY the cen.
sus Of 1875 the number OF men In Massa-
chusetts qualified to register and vote 10
56l, 800. The number OF women qualified
TO register and vote on the question was mt
least 575, 600. OF these more than $50, 600
declined to vote, and less than four in .
hundred voted yes. In other words, more
than 96 per cent OF the women OF the COM
monwealth either prefer the present status
OF the suffrage or are wholly indifferent
in the matter.
In " towns not one woman voted yes.
and In l3S other towns the women voting
yes numbered Is or less. As the vast ma-
jority Of the women opposed to the suf-
frago expressed their opinion by refusing
TO vote, the women's vote, for purposes OF
tabulation, has little value.
Every county and every congressional,
councillor senatorial and representative
district In the commonwealth cast ma
jority against the proposition.
In View OF such u result it would seem
that further agitation OF the question at
present is uncalled for.

the powers have issued an ultimatum to
