I^ESOLTJTIOIVS.
Wheeeas, We, the advocates of woman's enfranchisement, declare that we are not seeking the establishment of a new •principle in politics, but the recognition and application of one as old as the government itself, and believing that disfranchise¬ ment is degradation, we again solemnly protest against the great wrongs endured by the women of this Republic, who are gov¬ erned without their consent and taxed without representation ; Therefore,
jResolved, That our defeat the past winter in the Ohio Legislature, has stimulated us to more determined effort in the future to obtain municipal suffrage for women, and to secure the adoption of our amendment which would strike the word "male" from our State Constitution.
Resolved,    " That we advocate equal pay for equal work."
Besolved, That we continue to secure for the national enrollment, the names of men and women who believe that wo¬ men should vote on equal terms with men,
Besolved, That our Schools would be better controlled, that better Sanitary measures would be adopted in regard to school buildings, were intelligent women to be members of our School Boards.
Resolved, That we greet with delight the large class of W. C. T. U. women, the members of the Grange and the Knights of Labor, whose eyes are now opened to the necessity of the ballot as the most important lever in that reformatory and philanthropic work.
