The Remonstrance was the offical organ of the anti-suffrage movement in Massachusetts. The idea of "remonstrances" was first developed by the Massachusetts Association Opposed to the Further Extension of Suffrage to Women (later the Women's Anti-Suffrage Association of Masschusetts) whose primary function was to obtain signatures for "remonstrances" against "the imposition of any further political duties upon women." The "remonstrances" were circulated to offset the petitions of suffragists.

Issue of The Harvard Lampoon featuring a cartoon reprinted from the XXXX, entitled, "The Woman's Rights Party will make great efforts to bring out their vote on Nov. 4th." The cartoon shows a group of men and women standing in line to vote. The tallest woman, carrying a broomstick, grabs the man in front of her by the ear. Behind her are a maid, holding a man-baby off to her side, and woman holding a man by the hair.
In 1884, a group of women organized a new political party, "The Equal Rights Party," and organized the first convention to nominate two women for office: Belva A. Lockwood for president and Marietta L. Stow, for Vice-President.
The Harvard Lampoon publication was founded in 1876 at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The humor magazine was inspired by popular publications like Puck (1871) and Punch (1841).

A policeman is standing on the left, and, in the background, election officials are standing over the ballot box for "Election District No. 13".
