Tut question of the etfranchie  ent of wo-
man hase already pase tia cort of moral dis-
cussion, and is now fairly ushered into the arena
of politics, where it must remain a fixed ele-
joent of debate, until party necessityashall com-
pel its succes.
With 9,000 votes in Kansas, one-third the
entire vote, every j,,htinin must see that
the friends of woman's suffrage hold the
balance of power in that State to-day. And
those 9,000 votes represent a principle deep in
the hearts of the people, for this triumph was
secured without money, without a press, with-
out a party. With those instrumentalities now
fast coming to us on all sides, the victory in
Kanmas is but the herald of greater vi, tores in
every State of the Union. tiansas already leads
the world in her legislation for woman on ques-
tions of property, education, wiages, marriage
and divorce. Her bst universities are open
alike to boys and girls. In fact woman has a
voice in the legislation of that State. She votes
on all school questiors and is eligible to the
office of trnst',. She lies a voice in temper-
ance to, no license is granted without the con-
sent of a majority of the adult citizens, male and
teniale, black and white. The consequence is,
stone school houses are voted up in every part
of the State, and run voted down. Many of
the ablest men in that Sta.e are champions
of woman's cause. Governors, judges, lawyers
and elrg) io u. Two-thirds of the p:ess and
pulpits advcate the idea, in spite of the op-
position of politicians The first Governor of
Kamsas, twice chosen to that office, Charles
Robinson, went all through the State, speaking
Cvcry day for two months in favor of woman's
suffrage. In  the organization of the State
government, he proposed    that  the  words
white fmale should not be inserted in the
Kansas constitution. All this shows that giv-
ing political rights to women is no new idea in
that State. Who that has listened with tearful
eyes to the deep experiences of those Kansas
women, through the darkest hours ol their his-
tory, does not feel that such bravery and self
denial as they have shown alke in war end
peacte, have richly earned for them the crown of
citizenship.
Opposed to this moral sentiment of the lib-
era] minds of the State, many adverse influ-
ences were brought to bear through the entire
campaign.
The action of the New York Constitutional
Conventicii ; the silence of eastern journals on
the question; the opposition of abolitionists

ence outsde as well as inside the State, all(
bined might have made our vote comparati
a small one, had not George Francis Train I
into the State two weeks before the electS
galvanized the Democrats into theirt4I
securing 9,000 votes for woman's suffrage:
claim that we are indebted to the Republi
tbr this vote; but the fact that the most
republican dastrict, Douglass County, g.a
largest vote against woman's suffrage,
Leavenworth, the Democratic district, gale
largest vote for it, flfly settles that quention
In saying that Mr. Train helped to swell
vote takes nothing from the credit due all tI
who labored faithfully for months in that St
