FOR PRESIDENT— WILLIAM McKINLEY, of Obio ¥FOR VICF-PRESIDENT— GARRET A. HOBART, of New Jersey Election November 3, 1896. The crisis is over. We can count California for McKinley. San Francisco will vote for her indus- tries. Victory is ready to light on her old perch. Tom Reed will have no reason to think it is a jay town. Prosperity is coming as certainly as the 3d of November. The cry of coercion is simply the howl of the vanquish-d. Confidence 1s already here and trade 1s getung & move on. One more week of politics and then comes business with a rush. A few days more of lively politics and then we will talk of something else. Don’t forget to make ready during the coming week for the grand parade on Sat- urday. The intelligent workingman doesn’t need to see a 50-cent dollar to know how to discount it. San Francisco has been blue a long time. but before next Sunday there will be a rosy glow on it. Popocracy speaks with the voice of Bryan, but if it ever gets power it will show the hand of Altgeld. Make up your mind to-day that you will do what you can during the coming week to help elect Colonel Taylor. We can connt on Kentucky to have manhood enouzh to vote down the hood- lums who tried to hoot down Carlisle. There is one good thing that will result from the Bryan campaizn; the Solid South will divide and depart from politics. The rout of the Popocrats is a pretty good thing, It will be worth your while to get into line this week and help push it along. Some people may think Californians haven’t sense enough to vote for theirown welfaze, but none of them are willing to bet on it. There is still time for Senator Hill to follow the example of Morrison of Iilinois and flee to the mountains before the tidal ‘wave comes. After the election it will be the hardest thing in the world to find a man who will admit he ever thought California was a doubtful State. You are expected to take part in the great procession of the friends of good government. Every wide-awake citizen must foliow the music. Every indusiry in California has suf- fered oy free trade; every man who is engaged in the industries of California will vote for protection. People from all over the State had better get ready to come to San Francisco on Baturday. It is going to be the biggest day in politics Calif rnia ever saw. Bryan will be the worst beaten man that ever ran for the Presidency. Even old General Palmer would have done better if he had been given the same start. ‘We must have Republican Congressmen to vote for a Republican tariff; we wmust have Republican legislators to elect a Re- publican Senator. Don’tforget those facts in your campaign work of the week, The overthrow of .the agitators. wiil bring abouat a return to better times, and the better times will put an end to the discontent of the people, so that any new agitator who may start up will have no one to listen to hi Honest money Democrats in showing they are patriots first and partisans after- ward have made a record for themselves they may be justly proud of, and Re- publicans will not fail to give them due credit for their assistance in crushing out Bryanism. The letter purporting to have been writ- ten by Major McKinley denouncing the British and Irish soldiers of the Union is too clumsy a forgery to be dangerous, but it serves as a warning of what we may ex- pect. The Bryanites in their desperation are ready to play any kind of a trick in the closing days of the campaign. Ex-President Harrison - expressed the sentiment of the great majority of law- abiding Americans in ing, “There is no issue presented by the Chicago conven- tion more important or vital than the question it raises of prostituting the power and the duty of the National courts and the National executive. * * * Tariff and coinage will be of little moment if our constitutional government 1s overthrown," THE GRAND PARADE. The action taken at the citizens’ meet- ing yesterday makes it certain that the parade to be held on Saturday will be something more than a partisan demon- stration. It will be a manifestation of the fact that conservative Democrats as well as loyal Republicans will vote on election day for McKinley and Hobart as the champions not only of protection and prosperity, but of the maintenance of the dignity of American law and the integrity of American honor. In such a demonstration every good citizen should take part. As many as possible should join the parade. Those who cannot should decorate their business houses along the line of march with b an- ners declaring their devotion to the great cause and with the stars and stripes the emblem of National unity and inde- pendence. No citizen of San Francisco should shirk his duty on that day. Poli- tics in this contest means not only busi- ness but patriotism, and San Francisco should show by every evidence that her voice and her vote will b: on the side of honesty, prosperity and good citizenship. The march of the American people has been always onward and upward. It will take no backward step now. Great Dem- ocrats unite with great Republicans in rallying the people to a contest with Bry- anism. Supporters ot genuine Democracy find in the main issues of this campaign that the vital principles of their party hre essentially the same as the fundamental principles of Republicanism. Leaders like ex-Minister Phelps, and msany an- other stalwart Democrat, have not hesi- tated to declare that in this contest they will not waste their votes on Palmer ana Buckner, but will vote and work for the Republican ticket. In this unity of sentiment there is an inspiration for every citizen. Since the great'leaders of the Nation are united why should not the people unite? The decora- tions along the lines of march next Satur- day ought to be so continuous from house to house as to form an unbroken display of civic patriotism. It should appear asa National holiday. It should be made well nigh unanimous. It should have it in every proof of a spontaneous outburst of popular enthusiasm. On this day of rest and leisure every cit- izen has an opportunity to think over the importance of the issues at stake and what he shall do during the coming week. To this thou ht, therefore, should he di- rect his mind. Let him consider what he can do most effectively to maintain the greatness of the Republic, to evince the patriotism of the people and to promote its welfare. Let him plan the banners ghd decorations which shall display his con- viction and let him resolve to take an ac- tive part in welcoming Tom Reed to San Francisco, and assuring the vote of Cali- fornia for McKinley and Hobart. Remember as you sow in 1896 so shall you reap in 1897 and 1898 and 1899 and 1900. My ow. earnest desire is that you may all resp a crop of peace and material progress. I believe on your votes this year depend peace, the good order of soclety and the future pros- perity ot this land.—tnrret A. Hobart. A NATIONAL LOSS, The death of ex - Speaker Crisp of Georgia 1s a loss to the whole American people. The foremost statesman of the South; he ranked among the most ¢mi- nent leaders of the Naton, Firm and in- tense in his partisan-hip, he was never- theless one of those wise leaders of parties | who know and 'practice the principle that | he serves his party best who serves his country best. His loyalty to the party to which he be- longed was most strikingly proven by his refusal of an appointment to the United States Senate, when to have accepted it would have deprived the Democratic party of bis services in the House. Mr. Crisp, like all other American statesmen, had long cherished an ambition to enter the Senate. His heaith had been weak- ened and his strength broken by his arduous service to his party, and an ac- cession to the quieter areva of the Senate would have been to him not merely the gratificativn of an ambition but a relief irom labor that might have prolonged his life. Nev ribeless, when on the death of Senator Uolquitt the appointment was offered him by the Governor oi Georgia he declined it, because the Democrais of the House of Representauves requested him to doso in order that he might continue to guide and direct them in the bard figut then being made for the passage of the Wilson tariff bill. There are abundant evidences that since the war he has been as Joyal to the Nation as to his party. A man of broad mind, wide reading and large exparience he was an influence in the House of Representa- tives that counted much for the dignity and effectiveness of that body. The only Democrat in the House who was 1n any way a match for Tom Reed, his teadership of the Democratic party raised the debates in Congress to a degree oi learning and eloquence which made them instructive to the people. We have had few men at Washington more skilled in parliamentary law, and he never needed to resort to wrangling and merely obstructive tactics in order to maintain any cause which was entrusted to him. His loss will be greatly felt by the Dem- ocrats when Congress meets again. It will then be seen how large a place he filled in Congressional life and how valu- able his services were to his party and to the Republic. In the sadness occasioned by the announcement of his death the people of the United States will overlook his faults and remember only his genius, his statesmanship and his patriotism. Georgia will have the sympathy of her sister States in this loss of her greatest leader, and the mourning of a Nation will show itself in the solemn symbols of remembrance sent to his funeral from all parts of the Union. The buttress of liberty is order. The bell-tower of order is the law. Both liberty and order are assailed by the platform of the Chicago convention. To that extent and in that regard it was distinetly a concession to ths exactions of Governor Altgeld and Senator Till- man.—Henry Watterson. THE REPUDIATION OF OCATOR. The San Francisco Ezaminer, which in the present campaign is nothing if it is not the representative of the Popocratic wing of the Democratic party, has ane nounced editorially the repudiation of Ca- tor as a candidate for Senator by the Dem- ocratic end of Popocracy. Commenting upon the statement of Judge Campbell of San Bernardino County that Mr. Cator has been indulging in rather anarchistic views, the Ezaminer an- nounced that “if Cator seriousiy expressed such sentiments as thoseattribuwed to him he is manifestly unfit for the senatorship, or any other position of trnst.” The Bry- anites’ organ-goes on to announce that *‘Mr. Cator is not the Democratic candi- date for the senatorship, and it makes no difference to the party whether be bea revolutionist or not.” This express repudiation of Mr. Cator comes a little early,it is true, but it is none the less a strict fulfiliment of proph- ecy. From the earliest announcement of the fusion scheme for electing Populist Assemblymen and Democratic Senators throughout the State, which was the re- sult of an understanding between Mr. Ca- tor and Senator White, THE CALL has re- peatedly declared that the Populists were being bunkoed and that their candidate for United States Senator would be undone by the Democrats. There has been abun- dant evidence, as the campaign has pro- ceeded, that such would be the case and that wherever Republican candidates for the Legisiature were defeated by the aid of Populist votes the winner would either be a Democrat or a Populist who had been a Democrat before and was only waiting for election to office togo back into the ford. The “foolish and incendiary remarks’ of Mr. Cator have evoked a rather prema- ture announcement of the Democratic purpose. If the Populists of Calfornia have had any lingering doubts as to what that purpose is they are now removed in a most unmistakable way. Mr. Cator is not the Democratic candidate for the senator- ship. - He will not, therefore, receive the support of such Democrats as the Populist vote may succeed in electing to either branch of the Legislature. He is thus robbed of his last hope of election and ought to advise his party that the bargain between himself and Mr. White is off, and that for whatever support they may give to Democratic aspirants for the Legisla- ture they may expect nothing in return. The situation of the Populist party of California with reference to this matter is in no sense unique. It is nothing more nor less than a sample of the game of bunko which is being played at the ex- pense of the Populists all over the coun- try. When the campaign is over and our prophecy with reference to the undoing of Mr. Cator has found its full and final vin- dication he will not be alone in the reali- zation of the outrage of which he is the victim. With Mr. Watson and the other leaders of his party who, at St. Louis, were beguiled into deserting the middle of the road, Mr. Cator will be united in grief. When the period of mourning is over they will find it not at all easy to extricate the Populist party from the diten of disaster and def-at into which it has fallen through the over-anxiety of its leaders for office at any cost. While the Republicans were in power from 1861 to 1893—to muke it plainer, every time the clock struck, day or night, Sunday or weekday, when Re- publican policy prevailed, this Govern- ment grew $16,000 richer on the Na- tional ledger. Yet they tell us Kenubli-. can policy caused bankruptcy, and the only cure is free silver at the ratio of 16 to1. Don’t forget that we had the same financial system through that period that we have now.—Ex-senator Ingalls. OONSERVATIVE DEMOORATS. The capture of the Chicago convention by the radical wing of the Democratic party afforded conservative Democrats an opportunity to make maniiest to the people the quality and the nature of their’ patriotism, and most nobly have they met it. The American people can regard with no little satisfaction the atti- tudé of many a man who has long been considered a Bourben partisan, but who in this crisis has proven himself to be worthy of his American citizenship and capable of openly renouncing his party when it menaces the welfare of the Re- pubiic and its honor as a nation. In every section of the Union, Demo- crats of high and low degree have shown inthe ciearest manner that they set pa- triotism above party. North and South, East and West and each particular State has furnished examples of true Demo- crats who in this campaign have made it sure that they stand for “country first, country last and country with a stainless honor all the time.” The names of great Democratic leaders such as Clev land, Carlisle, Wilson, Whit- ney, Hill ana all that goodly company which met in convention at Indianapolis and nominated Palmer and Buckner in order that the flag of Democracy might be carried by loyal hands through the contest will long be remembered in the annals of American history, and they shall never be without honor among the people. It is not these leaders only, however, to whom honor is due. Many a man not widely known and whose name has per- haps never been published even in his local paper has in this crisis come forth to show to the world what trus American citizenship is. Every county and every village has its sterling Democrats who have refused to follow Bryan. These men not known to fame should receive from their neighbors the honor which the press cannot give them. It should be made known to them by a thousand testimonials of personal respect and esteem how much the community values their citizenship and how truly their services in the cause of good government are recognized by all who know them. These conservative Democrats whether they foliow the banner of Palmer and Buckner or whether with & more resolute determination to redeem their party from tie taint of Bryanism thay have openly announced themselves as supporters of McKinley and Hobart are men of that breed and character which constitutes the vital element of the American people. So long as men set the welfare of the country above the success of their party so long as in all the walks of life from the highest to lowest there can be found stalwart parti- sans who put into practice the principte, “He serves his party best who serves his country best,” so long wili the American Republic be safe from any danger of civil disturbances resulting from party strife, The action of these Democrats, there- fore, may well be regarded as a matter upon which the people of the country can congratulate themselves. It is another evidence to confirm the faith that g government of the people by ihe people and for the people shall not perish from the face of the earth. The Episcopal church has never en- couraged her clergy to be personal partisans, yet I would be & dumb guar- dian of my people should I hesitate to say that any member of the Episcopal church who supports the Chicago plat- form will do so in the teeth of the moral teachings of his church. I have never been a party man and do not declare for any personal preference in this elec- tion, but I do declare for patriotism, mutusal charity and confidence between the rich and poor, anti-séctionalism and honest money.—Bishop Williams of Michigan. THE PEOPLE OF MARS. Considerable prominence has been given by the public press to matters pertaining to the ruddy planet Mars. The informa- tion furnished by astronomers regarding the melting snows, the formation of the |icecaps. the changing seasons and the atmosphere of the planet has been eagerly sought for and widely published. The ex- pianation of those mysterious markings known as the ‘‘canals” has been striven for with feverish interest. Eight out of ten people who have given any thought to the matter believe that Mars 1s inhabited. Some bave gone so far as 10 urge, in sober spirit; the construction upon our earth of a gigantic system of powerful lights with which to signal our Martian neighbors. ‘We are agreed that Mars is habitable, and, thereiore, inhabited. But wWith what kind of people? Are they prototypes of the human? ‘The question cannot be 1intelligently considered unless we divesi ourselves of 1deas and measures of judgment that are applicable to the earth. We must place ourselves in position to comprehend ihe fact that the differest forms of creation are exhibited in an infinite diversity. Upon our earth there is not a species but what has changed from age to age, Go into the library of the Academy of “Sciences and see upon the walls the pictures of the creatures of prehistoric ages. Beasts and fishes, birds and reptiles, trees and plants, all are totally different from what are now upon the globe. What has caused the change? New conditions. The horse, the ox, the food fish, the oak tree, the apple and the peach, the prairie chicken and the sparrow could not have existed under the conditions that characterized the pal@zoic age. The physic condition of the surroundings determine the character of life. % ‘We would be justly accased of rank ar- rogance were we to assert that the forces of nsture acted only upon our little ball of earth. They do act, but in a far greater, grander scale throughout the immeasur- able universe; and inasmuch usour inves- tigations teach us that earth conditions do not extend beyond-earth limits, it follows that the forms of life outside of terrestrial boundas are different from those obtaining here. The inhabitants of other spheres may, for all we know, be creatures of fantastic form, judged by ourideasof fitness. They may be winged; they may be limbless, eyeless, stomachless; they may be plant- like; they may possess less than the five senses which mark the human, and they may possess a number of senses of which we have no possible conception. The character of the elements inherent in the sphere shapes the particular form of life that peoples it. A globe where electricity is exhibited i a different form than is maniiested upon our own would have in- habitants possessing an ‘‘electrical sense,” The denizens of the planets belongiug to the solar system of Gamma, in the con- stellation of Andromeda, possess a color sense, of which we .know nothing. Their worlds, lighted by three suns—one blue, one green and one orange—enjoy a lifé of color indescribable in splendor. The tem- perature of other spheres than our own differs irom our conception of balminess. Some are intensely coldy others are in- tensely hot. Some are lighted by blood- red suns. Yet on all is life, carefully adapted to each place of abode. It would be iolly tor us to say that, be- cause this star is hot or that one cold it is uninhabited. We shonid simply pro- claim our worse than ignorance—our big- olry—by so doing, for we have only to glance backward and view the forms of life upon our earth during its past geologi- cal epochs to see that life has existed here under conditions which would render the present life impossible. ‘We would nardly recognize the Martian if we saw one. We may, in fact, be to- day entertaining distinguished visitors from our planetary nei hbor unawares. CALIFORNIAN> Ix NEW YORK NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 24.—At the St. Cloud, J. Whipple; Murray Hill, L.

Mr. Loud is a He went to sea when thirteen years old, and tinally settled in California. In 1862 he enlisted in the California Cavalry Bat- talion, and served until the close of the war, most of "the time with the Army of the Potomac, after which he returned to California. He was a member of the Legislature in 1884, and was elected to the Fifiy-second, Fifty-third and Fifty-fourth Congresses. Mr. Loud is not one of the taikers of Congress, and' has spoken only when the in- terests of his City, State and country demanded it. to him silently, industriously, efficiently. He has don~ the work intrusted To his personal efforts was iargely due the followingadvantages to the City and State: The new Postffice building, resurvey of the bay of San Francisco, removal of dangerous rocks from the pathway of incoming and outgoing vessels, the establishment of a lightship at the entrance of the harbor of San Francisco, a life-saving station at the North Heads, the postal-car system for this City and improvement of Alviso and Redwood waterways. Mr. Loud was unani- mously renominated at the last Republicau Congressional Convention of the Fifth Dastrict to serve in the Filty-fif:h Congress. SUFFRAGE A RIGHT. While the advocates of woman suffrage be- lieve that it would purily politics and prove a benefit to the State yet tney base their claim primarily upon the inherent right of every citizen in a republic to a voice in the overn- ment. Upon the recognition of that ciaim democracy itseif must stand or fall, The man Wwho insists that the suffrage shall be the priv- ilege of & single sex may just as logically in- sist that itsnall be the privilege of a single class. We have not yet made the experiment of areal democracy or of a universal suffrage and until this has been done there is no foun- dation for declaring either a success or a iailure. The franchise is simply the mode of partici- pa ing 1n the common government and repre- sents the interests of cach individual. Tuere is no way in whnich he may represent himself in public affairs except by marking his opin- 1018 0n & ballot and having it counted. We have uo such things as proxy or virtual rep- Tesentation in this Government. if we had it could be delegated oniy by consent of the per- sons represented, and women have never given this consent. On the contrary they have protested sgainst itin constantly increasing numbers since the Government was instituted, and the largest petiiion ever presented to the United States Congress was that of women asking tobe protecied in the right to repie- sent themselves, as guaranteed by the consui- tution. “‘Ail men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rightt Among these are life, liberty and the pursuis of bappiness. To secure these governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.” Thus“tesas the De:claration o1 Independ- ence, and there wiil pe no question that the Governmeut controls the life, the property, the destinies of its people. { upon the eternal principie that every indi- vidpal is entitled to the greatest liberty that shall not Interfere with the rights of others. When woman asks for such a share in the Government as shall enable her to represent and protect her own interests she is ssking only for the liberty From(sz'd her by the con- stitution, which wili not interfere with any otner human being, and this is her inalien- able right. If you deny to any woman ihe right of seli-protection and seif-government you have deprived her of personal liberty and violated the Deciaration of Independence. The Supreme Court of the United States has decided that woman is a citizen, 8o that is no a disputable question. Now we must what constitutes a citizen, Webster says: ‘In the United States a person, native or naturalized, who has the privilege of exer- cising the elective franch;se.” Worcester ‘An_inhabitant of arepublic who en- joys the rights of & ireeman and bas & right vote for pubiic officers.” Bouvier's Law Dic- tionary says: *‘One who, under the constitu- tion and laws of tne United States, has a right to vote for representatives in Congress and other public officers.” How are we to reconcile the decision of the Supreme Court with these definitions? Can there be any question that suffrage is an at- tribute of citizenship under the Federal con- stitution? Why does toue foreign-born man be- come natura ized except that he may have the right of suffrage? He can have every other right or privilege which this country affords; but, until he takes out his naturalization pers, he cannot become a citizen, and yeg, this uew title gives him no more advantages ex- cept the right to vote, showing conclusively that citizenship carries with it the right to suffrage. That there can be no doubt as to the qualifi- cations of citizenship, the iourteenth amend- ment to the U.ited States constitution says: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiciion thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State whereof they reside.” And then this: “‘No State shall muke or enforce any law which shall lbrld%: the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States.” But in order that there may be no possible misunderstand- ing, the fifteenth admendment is added, which says: “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on agcount of race, color or previous condition of servitude.” Now this amendment does not confer any- thing. It unequivocally admits the exist.ng right of citize..s 1o vote and declares that they shall be protected in it. It forbids in the most solemn language any interference with this right, which is recognized as being of the highest value. There 1s nothing in either of these amendments, or in the coustitution, which coufers suffrage upon the negro. They simply acknowledge the right which inheres in a velvet collar. It is the ideal coat for women who drive, having a style ot its own superior to any other shape for this purpose. . Melton, covert, ladies’ cloth, and 1in fact any plain cloth is used for these coats, while the mixed tweeds and disgonals also are often with a shirt to maich, Velvet coats made after this model are very nygl.h.mmy may be 'n;l:u 0] ‘lxn front an: @ chamois undervest, to disp] immings o! white lace. ; Vorefor A. A. Sanderson for Superior Jud ge®. him as a citizen, and guarantee that he shall be protected in it. If suffrageisan inherént right 1n the negro, or in any citizen, it is in- herent in woman. In his dissertation upon_the principles of good government Thomas Paine said: “The right of voting for representatives is the pri- mary right by which other rights are pro- tected. To take away this right is to reduce man to & state of slavery, for siavery consists in being subject to the wiil of snother, and he that has not a vote in the election of repre- seniatives is s0 in this case. The proposal, therefore, to disfranchise any class of men is as criminal as to {uogou to take away their property.” Both o ese were done in the case of woman. Her property rights have been partly restored to her, but she still pleads for the right of franchise. Benjamin Franklin said: “They who have no voice nor vote in the election of representa- tives do not enjoy liberty, but are wbsolutely ed to those who have votes and to their representatives.” - ames Madison saxd: “Under every view of the subject it seems indispenssble that the mass of the citizens should not be withouta ';l‘ll!:h they ‘:n to the magistrates who are & And egain: *Let itbe remembered, finally, that it has ever been the }nlda and the boast of America that the rights lor which sne contended were the righis of human_nature.”” What were those rights? The rights of individual representation, the equal rights of all the people to a voice in the Government. deus Stevens of Pennsylvania said: ¢ have made up my mind that the elective fran. cbise is one of the inalienable rights meant to be secured by the Declaration of Independ- ence.” Charles Sumper said: “There isnota doubt that women have the constitutional right to vote.” Senator Morton said: “Women bave the same natural rights that men have, . t is founded | and as the means under our form of govern- ment for the protection of the natural rights of men is the right to vote, women should have the same right and power accorded to them. The whole theory of natural rights is mere trash unless you siall give women the gOWEr to protect them. The Declarativn of In- ependence says that governments are insti- tuted for that purpose, and that they must de- pend ‘upon the consent of the governed; and as women are one-haif of the governed they have a right to give one-half of the consent. 1 maintain that women have a God-given right te take part in the adminisiratiok of that government which controls their earthly destinies and interests.” Seventy-five years ago, in defining the privi- leges and immunities of a ciiizen, Associate Justice Washington said: “They inciude dll such privileges as are fundamental in their nature, and among them is the right to exer- cise the elective franchise and hold office.” Nowhere iu the past or present do we find the suffrage referred 1o as & jrivilege. Beginning with the Declaration of Independence and running through our history like & thread of gold, we find the 1dea ot individual rights. The fundamental principle of our Government is the right oi self-representation. Butin those early days the position of woman everywhere was subordinate, in the home, the church, in society. The demands of the household were infinitely more exacting than now; women were uneducated; the tyranny of custom and tradition pressed hard upon them; they had been taught, through ali the ages, to look uvon man as the representative of divine authority. Even then, however, = Abigail Adams, Mercy Otis and others of the advanced women of theday made a demand for recogni- tion, but they were few and wide.y scattered, the times were critical, and the government was left entirely to men. With every succeediug generation the need of representation and the sense of injustice at being deprived of it has grown stronger. | Women have become the: equals of men in education; they bave won their place in the business worid; they are recognized as & fuc- tor in public life and they reaiize the impor- tance of a representation in the Government. In asking this, they ask oniy what they be- iieve to be their rightfui inheritance. They do not beg for the conferring of a fayvor, but for the restoration of their rights, of which they were unjustly deprived when the word “male’ was - put into the constitution of the State. They do not regard the suffrage as a concession, but they wow.d quote the stron, words of Senator Gratz Brown, who sald: ** do not hold my freedom by any such tenure. On the contrary, I believe that whenaver you establish that doctrine, whenever y.u erysiai- lize that ides in the public mind of this coun- try you ring the death kneil of American lib- erties.” The women of California ask only that the men will perform the just and righteous act of striking the word “malc” from the suffrage clause dnd restoring to them their inherent and inalienable rights under the constiiution of the United States. 1DA A.
