ABOUT THE SURNAME TIERNAN: From a book on Irish surnames: "The Irish word for lord is tighearna, and the Mac Thighearnains were chiefs of Tullach Donnchadha, now Tullyhunco, in County Cavan. Thirty-three of their chieftans were sufficiently important to have their obituaries recorded in the famous 'Annals of the Four Masters'. They were kinsmen of the high- ranking O'Rourkes of Breffny. Another sept of this name in County Roscommon were descended from Tiernan, the grandson of Turlough Mor O Conor (1088-1156), High King of Ireland. The name has gone through a series of modifications, including MacTiernan, Tiernan, Kiernan and Kernan. It has no connection to Tierney."

Should the Elective Franchise be Granted to Women ? William H. Berryman 11/10/1899

From time immemorial the responsibility of civil government has been excercised by man. Man is by nature combative - woman non-combative. Man has the responsibility of government because he is ready to fight for it, should occasion arise. The natural sphere of woman is in the family. Love, not force, is the source of her power. The duties of holding public office, jury service, judicial and police functions, could not be performed by woman without violating female chastity and delicacy. The suffrage is not a question of right or of justice, but of policy and expediency. It has been conceded only to those who can perform the duties of civil government. It is claimed that intemperance and the liquor traffic would be abated if the suffrage were given to woman; but nothing is more certain that that the suffrage is powerless to restrain appetite. This reformation must be the result of elevating the moral tone of individuals, and herin lies the greatest power of woman, which would be impaired, if not destroyed, by contact with men in political movements and elections. It is asserted that the possession of the suffrage would tend to elevate and refine woman; but judging by the effect of universal suffrage upon man, it would have a degrading, rather than an elevating influence. So far as the family is concerned, in the great majority of cases woman will either follow dictation or submit to coersion, by which the influence of the baser elements of society would be enlarged. The very existence of the State depends upon the propagation of the human species, and nature has devolved that function upon woman. Hence, if any advocate of female suffrage is disposed to quarrel with the arrangement which relegates woman to home duties, her dispute must be with nature - not with man. In regard to the plea that woman is entitled to vote because she is taxed, the right of voting in this State has not, for many years, been dependent upon the payment of taxes. The voting power is conferred upon male citizens, not because they own property, but because they are men. If the franchise is granted to woman, it must be to all - not alone to the intellectual and brilliant, but also to the densely ignorant, who have neither the education, the mental capacity, nor the desire to acquire political intelligence. It is no answer to say that there are a great many ignorant and degraded male voters. There is surely more to be apprehended from two ignorant and purchasable votes than from one. And then, in all the cities, there is that large class of women who are outside the law - 50,000, perhaps, in New York alone. Would their votes tend to improve municipal politics? And they would all vote - would be compelled to vote. Nothing but overwhelming public necessity could justify the imposition of political duties upon women until they, themselves, have expressed a desire to undertake these duties. There is no evidence that even a respectable minority of the women have the slightest desire for the ballot. As a peroration to this short discourse I will quote a few words taken from a speech by Abram S. Hewitt: "After carefully considering all the arguments advanced by the advocates of woman's suffrage, I am forced to the conclusion that their case has not yet been made out, and I do not think, from the organic difference between men and women, that it will ever be shown to be for the advantage of women that they should be forced to take part in political controversies. In fact, I think it would be a great misfortune to them, as well as to the human race."
