Austin, a young and energetic attorney of Olympia, the state capital; the points raised by Mr. Austin were, First; that the Bloomer case is a collusive one between the original plaintiff and defendants, and is a fraud upon all friends of equal suffrage in the state. Second; that the decision of the Supreme Court of Washington Territory was erroneous In two respects, to-wit; that the statute of the territory conferring suffrage was constitutional, and that women are citizens.
