"Clara Bewick Colby established the Woman's Tribune in Beatrice, Nebraska, in 1883. The suffragist newspaper survived twenty-six years and would later include Washington, D.C., and Portland, Oregon, as place of publication" [Lomicky, 'Frontier Feminism and the Woman's Tribune: The Journalism of Clara Bewick Colby,' online Questia.].
This issue contains a letter from Susan Anthony, recounting her efforts to persuade Benjamin Harrison, the Republicans' presidential candidate, to support "woman's enfranchisement," and urging her allies to "make themselves a power, irresistible in numbers and strength, moral, intellectual and financial... Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty' for women as well as men." Additionally, as a representative of the National Woman Suffrage Association, Anthony signs a column explaining the struggle to obtain a Woman Suffrage plank in the Republican platform. Much other information on the nationwide progress of the campaign for woman suffrage and women's rights is printed.
