Show WvoMisn and Woman's Si'P-L'KAfiB. Si'P-L'KAfiB. Wyoming, through its representatives, repre-sentatives, declares again.-t woman's suffrage after a brief trial. Tins is sad to contemplate. Why should the masculines mas-culines of Wyoming discourage the blti.iin;.' and angular maidens of Jifiy-odd Jifiy-odd summers, and winters from leaving lh.j inhospitable shores of the Atlantic, and .-.eeking uew homes and htiibands in the fertile plain of Wyoming? Wyo-ming? Our correspondence from Cheyenne Chey-enne sa the bill to repeal the woman ! suffr:u-e ae-t has pas. ed the lower branch of the assembly, by a large majority, ma-jority, and is likely to pass the council. coun-cil. Hut will governor Campbell bign or veto it? The absolute veto power vented in the governor of a Territory precludes anything like a full and free expression of the people through their elected representatives, and renders him in a certain degree autocratic, so far as legislative enactments are concerned con-cerned ; and it may be that governor Campbell will exercise this power, and continue the right of suffrage with the ladies. Hut whatever action may be taken in the matter in Wyoming, the cxtenion of the elective franchise to women by constitutional amendment, should it be found that the late amendments amend-ments do not confer it, is only a ques tion of time. " Revolutions never go backwards," and the United States indeed it might be said the world is passing through a revolution that will assuredly work out its destiny, and women all over this country will yet enjoy en-joy the right of suffrage as a result of it. |
