If there be anything in politics which would degrade women, it is time for that thing to come to an end. The thing we wish chiefly to change is Government, and not woman. If there be anything in pohtics which would tend to degrade or stain the dehcaoy of the purest and best woman, it is some- thing which ought not to exist, and which the presence of woman would tend to banish.^-Senator Geo.
