Part 1 Picture of Elizabeth Cady Stanton Mrs Stanton was the first person in the world to ask for votes for women, away back in 1848. And as the ballot has now been given to all the women of the United States, I thought this would be a good time to tell the rising generation of young people something about the home life of the individual who started the whole question of suffrage for her sex. ._‘,.4:- 94. \\‘ ELIZ.&ETH cm STANTQN y Earl Bars iﬁ Jehnstcwn , Y 3 Over one hundred years age, a little girl was born whese meme Wee destined to be keen by the gee ideas ehe set adrift.

Those merry blue eyes were one of her marked features through life. An event that made a deep impression upon her, as a child, was the birth of a sister. Before she saw the now arrival, she heard several people say, “What a pity that the baby is another girl!" There were already four girls in the family, so when tho nurse took her in to see the little stranger, Elizabeth felt a kind of compassion for the baby. She remarked, in later life, "I didn't understand then that girls were considered an inferior order of beings." In those days there were no law schools in the United States. To the most noted lawyer in any region, the young man went who desired to study law. Judge Cady’s law offices, which adjoined his house, were famous all over the land and students came from the four points of the compass to be under his tutelage. Elizabeth’s Interest in the Law. my mother, from her earliest years, was constantly in her father’s offices, deeply interested in all that was going on there particularly in hearing the students talk about the laws they were studying. There was nothing those boys enjoyed more than roading aloud to Elizabeth all the bad laws they came upon relating to women. They found much more interesting to see her fly into a rage than to pore over musty law books. They always had a new batch ready whenever she appeared. Johnstown was in the midst of a large farming district, and Elizabeth often sat on hot father’s knee as he talked to his clients, especially if they were the wives of farmers who came to tell the tender-hearted judge of how unjustly they were being treated by their husbands. The cases often concerned the farm, on which many of the women had been born, and which frequently had been left them by their fathers before they were married. In 1823, no married woman could own property, If, as a girl, she had inherited a piece of land, the moment she married John Jones it passed into his hands. Everything she possessed his; her clothes, her false teeth even! If he took them away, she couldn't masticate her food! And she had no redress. The money she earned ever the wash~tub was likewise his, and he could collect it at the end of the day from the people for whom she worked! Worse still, he didn’t have to give her any of it. And this right of a husband to collect hie wife‘e wages was the law in California till 1910; when the women won the vote in that state. The Judge was explaining all these laws to old Sarah, whose ne‘er-do-well husband had mortgaged the beautiful farm which she had inherited from her father when she was a girl, till there was very little left. Sarah always supplied the Judge's family with eggs; butter, chickens, cider, and other good things, so that little Elizabeth looked upon her as a kind of lady bountiful, when she appeared at the week~ends. My grandfather got down many books and read the laws to Sarah to show her why he could not help her; however, petting her on the back, he told her he would put her on one of the best farms he owned, stock it for her, and she could have all she made from it, and could stay there as long as she lived. But it was justice not charity that the old woman wanted. Elizabeth had not been idle during this interview; When her father finished with a book, she quietly marked each law that he had read, turned down the leaf, and put the books back on the shelves upside down, so that she would know them. She followed the weeping woman into the street and when out of sight of the office she threw her arms about her, bade her cry no more, and told her that she had marked every one of those wicked laws, and that when the men had left the offices that evening she was going back and would cut them all out of the books. "Then", she said, "your troubles will be over!" As soon as Sarah could get rid of the child, she hurried back to Judge Cady and told him what his little intended doing. So, after supper, he took Elizabeth over to his office, and there, with the child seated on his knee, before the crackling logs of a big fireplace he told my mother how laws were made by the legislators at Albany, that his library was only one of many all over the state, that even if it burned up it would make no difference, that when people wanted to get the laws changed they had to go to Albany, talk to the legislators, and get them to alter the laws, then new books would be printed and the old ones laid aside. Little did that conservative judge dream that what no woman had ever done would, in years to come, be done by that very daughter of his. He unconsciously planted the seeds of rebellion in that fertile brain; and when grown to womanhood, the mother of four sons and a daughter, she took two nurses and two babies with her, and, leaving them at the Delevan house, went up to the Capitol building and made her first speech before a legislature on tﬁa unjust laws pertaining to married women. That was in 1854. 3i=39!?!&$a!Q5§9$'DiD9Q3@'8§§I§i§ -------------------------- : Picture : : of : : Judge Cady : -------------------------- Loss of her only Brother During my mother's childhood Judge and Mrs. Cady lost their only son, a fine, manly fellow, who had just graduated, with high honors, from Union College, JUDGE DANIEL CADY. Schenectady, N. Y. It nearly broke my grandfather's heart. He was always saying to Elizabeth, when she tried to console him, "Oh, my daughter, if you had only been a boy!“ Throwing her arms about him, she said “I will try to be all my brother was." She resolved to study hard and stand at the head of her class, to learn Greek, Latin, the higher mathematics, and to ride horseback--all of which resolves she carried out. Rev. Simon Hosack. Judge Cady‘s next door neighbor was an old Scotch Presbyterian clergyman, the Rev. Simon Hosack. Elizabeth was a great pet of his. Whenever she was in trouble she ran at once to consult him, she was eleven years old at this time. One morning, as he was working in his garden before breakfast, She came running over to ask him which he liked the better, girls or boys. "Why, girls of course," he replied, “I wouldn't give you for all the boys in Christendom." “My father doesn't feel that way," said the child, "he prefers boys, he wishes I had been one, and I intend to be as nearly like one as I possibly can. I am going to learn to ride horseback and swim, and I want to study Latin and Greek. Will you give me a Greek lesson now, Doctor? I want to begin at once”. “Yes, dear child," he said throwing dawn his hoe, come into my library and we will start without delay." He entered fully into the feeling of suffering that possessed the little girl, and putting into her hands the old grammar he had used in the University of Glasgow, Scotland, he taught her the Greek article before breakfast. Elizabeth Cady was educated in the old Academy in Johnstown. The girls and boys were all in the same classes, except in the languages and higher mathematics. In these subjects my mother was the only girl among a number of boys, mast of them older than she, who were preparing for college. She was always running races with John Wells to see who should stand at the head of the class. Some- timas it’W&$ Jﬁhﬂg aamﬁéimaﬁ @lﬁZa%@€h$ She carrieé cff any cf tha prizes, buﬁ, when flushed with iriumphg she ran té her father’s affice and laid thasa traasn uras im his 1ap§ and 1o§kad up inta his face for a word of praise; his mag ram spansa was; “Chi if you had only'been a bag.” Thus it was bcrne in uyan har, at an early age; that boys saemad ta ﬁe mars hivhly valuad than girls.

But being a good deal of a philosopher, she pitched into French and music with all her might, and wrote home to her father for the extra money needed for the dancing lessons. The judge promptly wrote back that he was perfectly willing to pay out any amount of money to educate her head, but would give nothing to educate her heels! He was toe mush of a Puritan to believe in dancing. Elizabeth Cady, even as a girl, rarely let any men get the better of her in an argument. She sent off an epistle post-haste, “Thank you, dear father, but your letter shows great ignorance, dancing is done on the toes not on the heels! So please send me the money by return mail." And he did, for Daniel Cady was too just a judge not to know When he was worsted in a case! Educating a Young Man for the Ministry. In these early days girls and women were always doing things to educate young men for something that these sons of Adam were not able to accomplish by their own efforts. My mother was the leader of a club of girls in their church which had undertaken to raise funds to educate a young man for the ministry. They sewed, baked, brewed tea and coffee, held fairs and sociables to pay his way through the Auburn Theological Seminary. When he was ready to graduate, they sent him money to buy a new suit of black broadcloth, a high hat, and a cane. Then they invited him to come and preach them a serman in the presbyterian Church, the largest in the town. Everyone turned out to hear him. The front pews were reserved for the girls. When the church was full and the psychological moment had arrived, the club marched in, head by my mother, and took their seats, all dressed in spring attire, each girl on the tiptoe of expectation to hear what their youthful theolagua wnuld say. I shall never forget hearing my mother describe that scene ta an audi~ enea in Chiaagag when she was on one of her lecturing trips. After dilating on haw faithfully that club of girls had worked to aducaie liha young man, in her round, rich voiae, she askaﬁ that vast assembly; “Ana what do ycu think, my friends: he took for his text?

Elizabeth Cady was brought up in tho midst of the most oonoorvativo; sooﬁarian surroundings; How she became so liberal, along so many lines, has always been an interesting study to mo; one of iho poiont influences in the life of this wideuawako young Womn was her oogstant visiting at the home of her cousing Gorrit Smith, the aboliw tionist, at Potefboro, New York. His daughter Elizabeth anﬂ my mother formed a strong friendship that lastoé all thoir 1iVBSa Grandfothor did not altogether approve of these visits; ”5udgo Cody ad» mired his brilliant nophoo'and appreciated his sterling oharaoiorg but ovary fibre of his being rovoltod against the aovanood opinions of Gorrit Smith. However, the two families were so knitted togothor by relationship and sinooro friendship ﬁhat a rupturowas absolutely impossible, so Elizabeth Cady osoapod oonstantly from the religious austerity of her homo into the swootor3 froor at» mospher of the ?etorboro household," wvitoo my sister, Harriot Stanton Blatoh. “Tho Potooboro house was spacious, and always full of choice society", Writes my mother; "hero you met scholars, philosophers, philanthoopigts, judges; bis~ hops, artists, musicians, and statomon. \ ........ There novor'wao such an atmosphoﬁoof peace, freedom ano good cheer, nor were there over two such hosts as Cousin Nancy and Cousin Gorrit.” There were tins when anﬁi-slavery was tho all~absorbing EOpi3a Through the portals of the home at Poterboro stopped Wendell Phillips; ﬁilliam Lloyﬂ Garm rison, Horace Greeley, Frederick Douglass, and John Brown} As it was one of the stations on the “Under Ground Railway", the outnbuildings often harbored runaway slaves, resting for a day or so till Mr. Smith was able to convey thomby oar- riago, or sleigh, safely to Canaéa, Where, the moment they stopped foot on English soil, freodom.awaitod thom. My mother saw and oonvorsed with those runaway slaves and heard from.thoir own lips the tales of their tortures; Thus it was that she early became interested in the sad lot of that much abused race; Every possible phase of political and social life come up for discussion at Peterfboro, and as those who did thetalking,were the leaers of thought of that day you can readily judge of the influence all this had on the open mind of my mother. . . , , Henry Brewster Stanton It was at Peten¥boro that Elizabeth Cady first met Henry Brewster Stentonﬁ _ re a direct descendant of Elder’ﬁi1liam,BreWster, who came over in the Mayflower, Mr. Stanton‘wae then considered the most eloquent aod impassioned orator on the anti-slavery pletforme eHe was a finemlooking man, ten years ow mother‘e senior» Elizabeth Cady had a passion for oratory, who unuotal powers and earnest» mess of Mr. Stanton soon made a deep impression upon her. Carriegewloads of ladies and gentlemen drove off every morning to dttend the anti~s1avery meetings that were being hold all over Eadison Gounty. The enthuoiesm.of the people in these great gatherings, the thrilling oratory, were experiences never to be forgotten. My mother says in her autobiography,- "I became deeply interested in anti~s1avory and temperance questions; saeeoeseee I felt a new inspiration in life, and was enthused with new ideas of individual rights; for the anti-slavery platform was the best sooool the American poopie ever had in which tolemmoteepublioan prinoioles of government."

Published on the 100th Anniversary of the day that 4 ex.-Quart eat, gfaafoa submitted the first resolution in the world demanding the Elective Franchise for Women Seneca Falls, N. Y., July 19, 1848 Elizabeth Cady Stanton was born in Johnstown, New York, on No- vember l2th, 1815. Her family was wealthy, judged by contempo- rary standards, and she could have lead a life of ease and luxury, but the seed of divine discontent was A within her. The sad lot of most women penetrated her soul at an early age, and she chose, instead, a life of continual work, hardship and battle. She had to contend with op- position within the family, also. Her determination to speak in public, and her stand for the enfranchisement of her sex caused her father to disin- herit her. Yet she was never hitter , and her dignity, humour, unbounded health and energy carried her through the ocean of ridicule, frus- trations, prejudice and intolerance to the ripe age of 86 years. She was ageless, , and could en- _ thrall my English and French cous- ins and me with stories of her youth as easily as she could move a vast audience with her oratory and logic. Her lectures and writings covered the whole ﬁeld of human progress———— “Motherhood”, “Sex”, “Our Boys”, “Our Girls”, °‘Woman Suffrage”, “Dress Reform ”, “Woman, the Church and the Bible”. She was a diligent Greek scholar and a great student of the Bible. She inveighed against the degraded position accord- ed to women by the orthodox churches of her generation. She was a Unitarian, and a firm believer in the brotherhood of man and the right to political and economic equal- ity of all human beings regardless of color or sex or race. Seneca Falls was her home for 16 years from 1847. The little town seethed with activity from the day she set her foot there, and on July 19 and 20,1848, the long-discussed plans of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott to hold a Woman’s Rights Convention were realized. One hundred well-known men and women attended and signed the “Declaration of Sentiments”, but it was Mrs. Stanton who moved the reso- lution that women should be granted the elective franchise, a motion sec- onded by Frederick Douglass. A storm of protest arose, but the motion was carried by a small margin. Over the cries of ridicule and denunciation heaped on the Convention and its sponsors by pulpit and press arose the clarion voice of Wendell Phillips. ————“This is the inauguration of the most momentous reform yet launched upon the world, the first organized protest against the injus- tice that has brooded for ages over the character and destiny of half the human race”————, and Frederick Doug- lass in “Lone Star” and Horace Gree- ley in New York Tribune published the only editorials in praise of the Convention and its objectives. Often reformers of one generation _ become the conservatives of the next. , Thiswas not true of Mrs. Stanton. She wrote a letter which was read at the celebration of the 50th anniver- sary of the 1848 Convention, which ended as follows: “. . . My message today to our coadju- tors is that we have a higher duty than the demand for suffrage. We must now, at the end of fifty years of faithful ser- vice, broaden our platform and consider the next step in progress, to which the signs of the times clearly point,———name- ly, co-operation, a new principle in in- dustrial economics. We see that the right of suffrage avails nothing for the masses in competition with the wealthy classes, and worse still, with each other. “Women all over the country are working earnestly in many fragmentary reforms, each believing that her own, if achieved, would usher in a new day of peace and plenty. With woman suf- frage, temperance, social parity, rigid Sunday laws and physical culture, could any, or all, be successful, we should see changes in the condition of the masses. We need all these reforms and many more to make existence endurable. What is life today to the prisoner in his cell, to the feeble hands that keep time with machinery in all our marts of trade, to those that have no abiding place, no title to one foot of land on this green earth? Such are the fruits of competi- tion. Our next experiment is to be made on the broad principle of co-operation. At the end of fifty years, whose achieve- ments we celebrate here today, let us reason together as to the wisdom of lay- ing some new plank in our platform. “The co-operative idea will remodel codes and constitutions, creeds and cat- echisms, social customs and convention- alism, the curriculum of schools and colleges. It will give a new sense of jus- tice, liberty and equality in all the re- lations of life. Those who have eyes to see recognize the fact that the period for all the fragmentary reforms is ended. “Agitation of the broader questions of philosophical Socialism is now in order. This next step in progress has been fore- shadowed by our own seers and prophets, and is now being agitated by all the thinkers and writers of all civilized coun- tries. “The few have no right to the luxuries of life, while the many are denied its necessities. This motto is the natural out- growth of the one so familiar on our platform and our official paper, ‘Equal Rights for All’. It is impossible to have ‘equal rights for all’ under our present competitive system. ‘All men are born free, with an equal right to life, liberty and happiness’. The natural outgrowth of this sentiment is the vital principles of the Christian religion. ‘Love thy neighbor as thyself’. In broad, liberal principles, the suffrage association should be the leader of thought for wom- en, and not narrow its platform, from ‘year to year, to one idea, rejecting all relative ideas as side issues. “Progress is the victory of a new thought over old superstitions!” If she were living today, she would no doubt be a champion of civil rights and just as many unpopular causes as in 1848. She would be de- manding the full emancipation of woman and equality of rights under law, inveighing against intolerance and bigotry, imperialism and monop- oly, and championing the rights of the common man throughout the world. Until 1900, she held, the pre-emi- nent position in the feminist move- ment, not only in her own country but throughout Europe too. During the last years of her life, she was uni- versally known as “The Grand Old Woman of America”. Some of the high lights of her long life were: In 1848, was the principal organ- izer of the ﬁrst Woman’s Rights Con- vention, and moved the woman suf- frage resolution. In 1854, the ﬁrst woman to ad- dress the New York legislature from the speaker’s rostrum. She was president of New York State -Woman Suffrage Society in 1854. She helped form the ﬁrst National organization for woman’s rights—— The National Woman’s Suﬁrage As- sociation, and was its president from its inception almost continuously for 20 years (1869-1890). When later the American Woman Suffrage Association merged with the National Woman’s Suffrage Associa- tion to become the National Ameri- can Woman Suffrage Association, she was elected president. She made the principal address at the great Cooper Union mass meet- ing in 1861, calling on Lincoln to free women as well as the Negro, and enfranchise both. She ran for Congress in New York State in 1866. In 1869, when the family ﬁnances were at a low ebb and the education of the ﬁve younger children in jeop- ardy, she registered with the Lyceum hureau, and toured the country from Maine to Texas on the famous Or- pheum Circuit, earning from $100.00 to $200.00 per lecture. She did not stop this arduous work until Bob, her youngest, was graduated from Cornell University in 1881. She and Packer Pillsbury edited the periodical, “The Revolution,” from 1868 to 1871. She made the principal address when the W7oman Suffrage Amend- ment was ﬁrst introduced in Congress in 1878. She wrote her coworker, Su- san B. Anthony, who was lecturing in the West, an account of it. This amendment was identical with that ﬁnally passed in 1919 as the 19th Amendment (sometimes erroneously named the Susan B. Anthony Amend- ment). s The three ﬁrst volumes of the “His- tory of Woman Suffrage” early edi- tions, bear the legend, “Edited by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, Matilda, .1 oslyn, Gage.” She initiated the International A Woman Suffrage Committee in 1882, in England. On her 80th birthday in 1895, there was a huge celebration at the Metropolitan Opera House of New York City, with memorials and pres- ents from every state, anddmany from abroad. In the Smithsonian Institute at Washington, there stands a large goblet presented to her by the Wom- an Suffrage League on which is en- graved, “Defeated Day by Day, but unto Victory Born”. The reforms she advocated and for which she was ridiculed have largely come to pass: Higher education for women; won1an’s political enfranchisement; dress reform; short skirts; the aban- donment of corsets; the abandonment of swaddling clothes and tight ban- dages for babies; the abandonment of seclusion for women during preg- nancy; getting up soon after child- birth, and continuing one’s duties; liberal divorce laws; a single stand- ard of morals; equal guardianship; property rights, etc. But some of her demands of 1848 still remain unaccomplished, as for instance, complete emancipation of women so that they may have equal- ity of rights under the law, and the full protection of the Constitution. And with all this public activity, she bore and reared seven children, ﬁve boys and two girls. There is a letter from an admirer of hers, my grandfather, writing from Washington, January 16, 1857, to my aunt Margaret Livingston Stanton, then ﬁve years old. He said: “Tell your mother that I have seen a throng of handsome ladies, but that I had rather see her than the whole of them :————hut I intend to cut her acquaintance unless she writes me a letter.” My memories of my Queenmother, as all of us grandchildren called her, are of a delightful person to live with and play with. Backgammon, chess and checkers were our almost night- ly amusement. I have memories of men and women, colored and white, of high and low estate, seeking her counsel and advice. The mornings she spent writing endless letters and articles. During those years, 1897 to 1902, she wrote her autobiography, “Eighty Years and More”, and also “The Woman’s Bible” (her delight- ful commentaries on the women characters of the Bible and her inter- pretations) . Indefatigable to the end, the day before she died, she wrote a letter to Theodore Roosevelt urging him to include sponsoring woman sulirage in his inaugural address. A great writer, author, feminist, philosopher, orator and reformer, friend of Phillips, Douglass, Carri- son, Greeley, Whittier, the Brights and McLarens and feminists through- out the world, passed on into history the 26th day of October, 1902. The author lived with her during the last years of her life, at 26 West 61 st Street and 250 West 94th Street, New York City. Additional copies can be obtained by writing Box 436, Greenwich, Conn.

V To return to the story: 'fEé boys'were distressed, as they servsd the guests, to see the look of disapproval on Governor Seward‘s and Gerrit Smith’$ faces as their hostess and her two Quakér friends ripped out their oaths. So when ihey got their mother alone, they gathered around her and with tears in their eyes said: "Oh, mother, what will the Governor and Cousin Gerrit think, hearing you Swear like thaﬁ?” "W611", she said, "you boys all do it, and so we £hought‘we would also; don‘t you like to hear us?" “Oh, no, other,“ they replied, with the tears running dawn their cheeks. “Oh, v9ry‘We1l," she said, her arms about two cf the lads as thay leaned against her, while the third boy sat on a stool ai her feet with his head in her lap, “If you boys will stop swearing, I will alsa.” And they did.

Too Much for a Bishop 4 One day the Bishop of the Diocese of‘Western New York, the Rev. Mr, Sex, was calling on my mother; he was violently opposed to the ballot for “ladies”, ahd'eas holding forth on the disabilities of women as a bar to their having the vote. “dhy, Bishop Cox“, exclaimed mother, "I didn‘t know that women had any dise abilities; pray mention them." “Well”, he said, "surely motherhood is a disability, Mrs. Stanton." "On the contrary, Bishop", she quickly answered, "motherhood is an added glory to womn. It is something that you men cannot do, - give birth to an immortal soul: If it be a disability, why does your church, the whole world around, celebrate the Magnifioat every Sabbath morning glorifying motherhood?”' "Y~e~s,3re~s”, ow ~t&4r¢ said the Bishop, hesitatingly, "that is true, Mrs. Stanton. I neveoriﬁeeoaihy ’ if c, in that light before. But - you must admit that your skirts are a disability." “Ry, Bishop"; quickly answered my mother, "we are not born with skirts on. ‘we lay them.off whenever we choose. And I notice that when you on go into the pulpit you put on flowing robes, and so do the Judges of the Supreme Court before they take their pleoes on the bench. This is done to give added dignity to the position.” “Y¥e-s, y-e—s," reluctantly drawled the Bishop, “I never looked at it from.thet angle before. I think you may be right.” Finally, with a hearty laugh and throeihg his head book, he said: "I think there is no use in.my trying to argue'With you, dear lady; we would better discuss arti” Mos; Stanton's Powers of Conversation In a biogrephioal sketch of ow'Hwther, ritten by one of the ost o brilliant neeseeper men of her day, I find the following: “Her gift of gifts is o eonveesstion, Her throne of queeoship is not the offioiel oheir of the ﬁomee’s Eigsts Conveetion,{thougn she eleeys presides with dignity end ease), tut is rather a seat st the social board, where the oomyeny are elderly, oonservetive gentlemen, who combine to argue her down.

Mrs. Stanton always had the ooorege of her convictions, Which, with a re~ former,is half the battle. This was never better illustrated them in the following incident. She was back in her old home, Johnstown, visiting her mother. She and her sister, ﬁrs. Eaton,1sere walking toward the cemetery to visit the graves of their forebears. Now3iErs.

Before mother gave up her Lyceum Work she had a long list of lectures and spoke in:mony a town year after year. She had several addresses for women alone, on "hotherhood", "The Care of Babies", "Dress; Diet and Hygiene". Those she gave in the afternoons. She had another speech on ”Thurlow Weed, William H. Seward, and Horace Greeley”, - all of them her personal friends, ~‘Whioh‘Was ex~ tremely popular.

Are you ready to go to war and fight?” "Yes, or. Greeley," she answered quickly, "I’m willing to fight just as you fought in the late oar of the Rebellion, by sending my paid substitute."

She eloeys addressed them.ee “Gentlemen”, which gloesed the prisoners very muhh. She told them that if the proyoeition “were oerried, one of the first things the women would do would be to imgrove the prisons.’ Then she drew a word picture of an ideal prison. It was esubjeot’ she had lookeﬁ into very carefully one about which she had many edenoed ideee: no capital pﬁniehment, plenty of out~door'work, amusements, a school to help the uneduoated, good food, training in some trade, pay for their work, and money sent home to their families. She knew all about men and boys, hevimg had five soné} a husband, a brother and a father. She told those men stories, made them laugh, never referred to their sins, in closing she said, "Now, gentlemen, having heard my arguments why the women of Fichigen should be emancipated, how many of you, if you could go to the polls and cast a ballot this Fall, would voﬁe for the gmeniment?" They all stood uo, to the last man: “eh”, she leughingly said, "gentlemengi how I'wish you were all free to vote for us, and that an equal number of our enemies were here in your piaoesi“ They laughed and applauded heartily, and as they filed out each gave her a salute.

In July, 1848, history records the first movement among women for the discussion of their political, religious and social wrongs. Since then the demand for the right of suffrage has extended over many countries and has been granted, in one form or another, in the United States, in England and her colonies, in Australia, New Zealand, the Isle of Man and New South Wales. I Tax-paying women have voted by proxy in several nations of the Old World for many years. In the long history of woman's srongs there never has been so favorable a time to demand her complete emancipation in the United States as now, for we have for the first time in this Republic a President who has declared himself in favor of woman‘s political equality. When President Roosevelt was Governor of New York he recommended the enfranchisement of the women of the State in his message to the New York Legislature, and expressed the same opinion on several public occasions. Now is the opportune time for leading women to ask the President to make the same demand in his coming Message to Congress for this act of justice to thirty~six million American citizens new defrauded of their most sacred right, one that underlies all others, a voice in the laws. For, as the Fathers said long ago: “No just government can be formed without the consent of the governedg“ & In a speech made by the President at Fitchbnrg on Labor Day, he said that he was “in favor of an amendment to the Constitution of the the United States, conferring ndditionel power upon the feﬁerel government to deal with corporations." To control end restrain giant monopolies for the best interests of all the people is of vast import, but of far vaster importance is the establishment and protection of the rights end liberties of one half the people of the United States ~« the most moral half, too ~ namely, women. Surely there is no greater monopoly than that of ell men in denying to all women a voice in the laws they ere oomoelled to obeye Qotober 203 1902. Elisabeth Gndy Stanton. Note: This is a copy of the appeal written & prepared for mailing to the press by Mrs. Stanton e few days before her death. October 26, 1902.

I intend to stick to you like a burr closer than a brother. But I must to bed. Good night my pretty one. Tell Marmie all about your blues, who advised you, & if you lack any of the comforts of life.

CHILDHOOD Elizabeth Cady was one of the five eaughtere of Judge Daniel Cady and hie wife Margaret Livingeton of Johnetowh, New York, where ehe W38 born November 13, 1815. Judge Cedy out» lived three generations of lawyers, he eaten the Supreme Court bench till he was over eighty years of age: the Judges are re» tired now on reaching seventy. ‘A life sized portrait of him hangs in the Capitol at Albany. Mrs. Judge Cady was a tall, handsome, queenly woman, a daughter of Col. James Livingston, who distinguished himself under General Washington in the War of the Revolution. She was full of "go" and "vim", so that little Elizabeth inherited brains, beauty and fight from both sides. Sons one has thus described the town where she was born, .“Birthplace is secondary parentage and transmits charac- ter”. Johnstown was more famous half a century ago than since; for then, though small, it was a marked intellectual centre; and now,though large, it is an unmarked manufacturing town. Be~ fore the birth of Elizabeth Cady it was the vice ducal seat of Sir William Johnson, the famous English negotiator with the Indians. During her girlhood it see the arena for the intel~ lectual wrestlings of Kent, Thompkins, Spencer, Elisha Williams and Abraham Van Vectan, who as lawyers, were the chiefest of their time. And as a child she used to sit on her father's knee and listen to the conversation of these distinguished men. xxxx But Johnstcwn still retains one of its ancient splendors — a.glory still fresh as at the foundation of the world. Standing on its hills, one looks off upon a country of enameled meadow lands, that meg’: away southward toward the Mohawk, and northward to the base of those grand mountains ~ the Adirondacks, which are "God's monument over the grave of John Brown!" In my mother's book"§$%QIh_Y§3?S, 3? £93.": Eh? €aYS3 "Who can estimate the power of antinatal influences, or the child's surroundings in its earliest years, the effect of some passing word or sight on one, that makes no impression on another. One, yearning for broader freedom, is in a chronic condition of rebellion, the other, more easily satisfied quietly accepts the situation." Johnstown was a hilly little hamlet, its streets were bordered sith stately elms, the houses were built right on the sidewalks, after the Dutch custom, with little stoogs in front, while beautiful gardens and large piazzas were at the back and sides of the houses, Each house boasted of large garrets and cellars. Those in my grandmother‘s mansion were the favorite resorts of my mother's childhood. She says; "In the garret were barrels of hickory nuts, on a long shelf cakes of maple sugar, and all kinds of dried herbs and sweet flag; spinning wheels, a number of white cotton bags marked ggig, goings. Calico and Flannel, and filled with bundles, as well as chests containing ancient masculine and feminine attire, swords and to sabres of wartimes. Here we would crack the nuts, nibble the sharp edges of the maple sugar, chew some favorite herb, punch the bags, whirl the old spinning wheels, dress up in our ances- tors’ garments, and give dramatic entertainments; - for there eere three of us about of an age, - and take a bird's eye vies of the surrounding country, out of an enticing scuttle hole. This was forbidden ground but We frequently clinbed.up there.” One day the three little girls were all standing on /L‘ /7? 53544 7 the top rungs of the ladder with their heads at/the hole, when ‘ / one of them remarked, "By the Holy Pokers what ifﬁmother should of A come!“ Just then thébevlegs sere caught in a firm grasp and a voice said, 3By the Holy Pokers here I amt” The cellars of than ancient house were filled in winter with barrels of apples, cidar, pork, salt meats, etc., offering admirable nooks for playing hide and seek. Among the family servants were the colored men Peter and Jacob, the former tall and stately, the latter short and jolly, both played A on banjo and fiddle for the children to dance, and sere ever ready to join in games with them. The cellars were on a level with the large kitchens, of which there were two, and here the little girls and the colored brethren had royal games of hide end seek, and hlindman's buff all over those loser regions, tell Polly Bell and Cornelia Nickeloy their nurses, appeared on the scenes and put an end to their sport. Peter was the guardian angel of my mother and her younger sisters, his love for them was unbounded and fully re- turned.‘ "He was the only being visible or invisible of whom we children were not afraid", she says. He was delegated to escort them to school, take them in their walks agent the town, let them wade in the creek, or ramble in the woods, in fact do anything their hearts desired. Peter was very curdous by nature so he took them to places he sented to see, often arousing their curiosity by the tales he told them beforehand. The Court House, when trials were taking place was one of the favorite resorts of this quertette, largely due to Peter's desire to hear the leading lawyers argue end to know how e case was going. He often waited on these lawyers at Judge Cddy’s hoeeitable board, end 3. -.

He carefully exhleined the merits and demerits of the suits to hie young cherges before entering, then with one on eech knee and the third standing beside him they would eit contentedly end listen. iThue my mother early learned how lee oases were conducted. The stone jail on the hill, Wee another place these four often vieited. The Sheriff and his family lived there, and the Judge'e little girls knew the Sheriff's daughters in echool, so were tehen by them all over the jail. They made the ac- queintenoe of the prisoners and the men told them Why they were there. On their next visit the children eould eerry them nute, aphlea and cakes. One of their nurses was Scotch, she had told thee many thrilling tales of castles, prisons and dun- geons in the ohd world, so that when they saw the large iron doors of the jail, the great keys, the handcuffs and chains, the prisoners in their cells, their visits seemed to thee like excursions to castles in those far—off lends. Being eehsitive by nature this all made a deep impres- eion on my mother, and she told me how it awakened her interest in prisone and prisoners end induced her in after years to try and bring about more humane conditions for these gggg§,Q§_;§g§ An event that eade a deep impression upon ey mother eee child was the birth of a sister. It was one cold day in Jenuery when her hrawny Scotch nurse took her in to eee the little stranger, she heard eo many friends remerk, "What e pity it is that it's a girl!" that she felt a kind of compassion for the little hehy. The family then consisted of five girls end only one boy, but, she eeye, ehe "didn't uneeretend then that girle were considered an inferior order of beings.” Thue were herﬁ first doubts ooneernine women eroueed. an!‘ to know what people look like that I am reading about, ed I wee glad to find that Elizabeth Cedy, "Wee e plump little girl with very fair skin, roey oheeke, good features, dark brown curly hair, laughing blue eyes and beauti- ful teethlx . In the olden days lawyers‘ offioee adjoined their houeee, and to the most eelebreted in eny toen young men were eent from all over the State and country to study law: for there were no law schools away back in 1815. My grandfather's office always contained anywhere from ten to fifteen etudente, many of them from the best familiee of the land. And as Elizee beth, from her earliest years, took a deep interest in matters of law, the epent a great deal of her time in her father's office, often sitting on hie knees as he talked to hie olinete, eepeeieL- ly if they were Women who hed come to complain to the tender‘ hearted Judge of the unjuet Way they were being treated by their husbands and eone, when, by their herd work, they had helped to hey off the mortgagee on their femre. A In thoee early days no married women in New York could own any property, neither pereonel nor real; the elothee on her veok belonged to her husband, be false teeth, even, were hie! The wages she earned over the weehtub at the end of a day, belonged to him. The Judge eae explaining all this to old Sarah, a Scotch woman, whose hueband hed died, and left the farm to their son, ~ when it had been given to Sarah by her own father - and I whose young wife wanted to turn her out of houee and home. Sarah always supplied the Judge's family with eggs, butter, A chickens and other good things, so that Elizabeth looked upon her as a kind of lady bountiful when she appeared at the week ends. The Judge got down many booke and reed the laws to the old women to ehoe her why he couhdn’t help her, but patting her on the beck he told her, that as long ae she lived he'd look after her and see that she had a good home and oomforte. The alert little girl had quietly marked all the laws, and turned down the pages of each book and put them back on the shelves upside down eo that she would know them, then she followed Sarah out and putting her arm ebout her said, "hover mind, don't cry, I have marked all those bed laws and when my father leaves his office this efternoon I'm going to cut them all out, and then your troubles will be over.“ As econ as Sarah could get rid of the ohild she hurried back to Judge Cedy's office and told gim how hie little girl was intending to mutillete his books. So after supper he took Elizabeth over to his office and thgif seated on his knee before the ereckling logs in the hearth, he told her how laws were made by the legieleture,et Albany, that his lihrery wee only one of many all over the Stete, thet if she wanted the.lews changed she'd have to go down to Albany when she grew up and talk to the legislators and get them to change them, then new booke would“be printed and the old ones laid aside. l Little did that Conservative Judge dream that whet no woman hed ever done, would.be done by that very daughter of his in the years to come; he unconsciously planted the seede of re- bellion in the fertile brain, and when she grew to womanhood, the mother of four eons and a daughter, ehe took two nureee end three ohildren with her, and leaving them at the Deleven Houee, went up to the Capitol and made her first epeeoh hefore a legis- lature on the unjhet lewe pertaining to women. Thet wee in 1854. . During my mother's childhood Judge and Mre. Cedy lost their only eon, a fine, manly fellow who had juet graduated from Union College, Soheneotedy, with high honore. It nearly broke the Judge's heert,_end he wee oonetdntly eeying to Elizébeth, when ehe tried to ooneole him, “Chg? if you were only a boy: If you were only a boy!" ‘ Throwing her erme about his neok she eaid, "I will try to he all my hrother wee!" ' Then and there ehe says she resolved not to give eo muoh time as heretofore to play, but to etudy Latin and Greek and 1eern to ride horeebaok. Theee reeolvee ehe oerried out end they were destined to mould her ohereoter for life. Next door to the Cedy mansion lived an old Scotch clergy- man, Rev. Simon Hoeaek, between whom and Elizabeth a great friend- ehip exieted. Whenever ehe wee in any trouble ehe elweye ren right over to him to he oomforted. She often went with him on hie daily drives, he taught her to handle the lines, ee the old horee trotted along. the Rev. gentlemen reading to her eeenwhile from eohe hook or teaching her ehout the birds and floeere by the weyeide. The early influenee thet thie fihe old men exerted over thie child of eleven leeted all her life. The morning efter her gggglggga as Dr. Heeeok wee work- ing in his garden heforerhreekfeet, ehe ruehed over to eek which he liked hetter hoye or girle. "Why girls, to he sure, I wouldn't give you for all the hoys in Christendom," he replied. "Well," she seid with a sigh, "My father prefers hoys, he keeps Wishing I was one, end I intend to be as neerly like one as poseihle. I em going to study Greek and Latin, will hon give me e leeeon now, Dootor? I went to start at once." A "Yes child," he said throwing down his hoe, "Come into my study and we will hegin without delay." He entered_fully into the feelings of suffering and eorrow that poeeeesed thet eensitive little girl, end putting into her hende the old grammar that he had used intthe Uniyereity of Glasgow the Greek article was mastered hefore hreekfest. My mother attended the Academy in her netive town, the boys and girls were all together in the same eleesee. She studied eeong other things Greek, Letin end the higher eethemetioe. In these eleeeee she was the only girl among a number of hoys, ,she ea; always running intellectual races with John Welle, to see who should stend et the heed. Sometimes it was John, sometimes iour.heroine. She oerried off many of the prizes, but ehen she ran into her fether‘e office, flushed with triumph, end leid these’ treesures in his lap and looked up into hie kindly fees for a word of praise, it was always, "If you had only been a boy, if you had only been a boy: After heering this for years, she wondered why her father and others didn't think e girl as goods as a boy. The iron sank deeply into her soul, and she then and there determined to see whet she could do to lift the terrible odium that seemed to he atteehed to all girls and women. *****=k***=i¢=k>i¢* GIRLH09Dl 10 I quote whet follows from my mother's eutibiogrephy. "From the Academy the boys of my olaee went to Union College, Soheneotedy. When thoee with whom I had etudied end contended for prizes for over five years came to bid me good'bye, and I learned of the barrier thet prevented me following in their footsteps - no oirleoedmittedyhege - my vexetion and mortifi- oetion knew no bounds. I remember now how proud and hendeome the boys looked in their new elothee ee they jumeed intoethe etege.ooeoh end drove off, end how lonely I wee.ehen they were gone; I felt more keenly then ever the humiliation of the die» tinotion of eex." There was not e college for girle in the world et thet , time - 1830. Oberlin College,in Ohio, was not opened till 1833, that inetitution edmitted boye, girls and colored peoele, ’end the etudente were obliged to do a good ehere of the work ‘to Albany the" about the huildinge. In femily council it was decided to eend Mother to the Emma Willard eohool, for ginle, at Troy, dew York. Thet insti- tetion wee the most celebrated one for e member of the feminine gender in the whole United Stetee at thet date. To ehow how primitive the timee were in my mother's youth, I'll quote the following from her book, "The one remark- ehle feature of my trip to Troy wee the reilroed from Seheneoeedy f The manner 03‘-‘ eeoending a hill eould now etrike engineers ee etupid to the lest degree.

In those aays women and girls were always §ing.things ‘to educate young men for something, that these same eons of Aaam were not able to aooomelish by their own efforts. hother was the ,leader of a club in their church who had undertaken to reise funds toreducete a young man for the ministry. They eewed, baked, brewed and stewed things, had fairs, eooiableianﬁ what not to hay his way through the Auburn Theological Seminary. When he was reaﬁy to graduate they sent him money to buy a new suit of elect hroadcloth, a high hat aha cane. Then they Wrote and in- vited him to come and preach them a sermon in the large Presby- terian church in Johnstoen. The Whole town was there to hear him, for every one knew how hard this club of girls had worked to eﬁucate him’ the front pews were reserved for the girls. When the cheneeé-was full and the psychological eomer had arrived the club marched in and took their placee, headed by my mother, all dressed in spring attire, each girl on the tip toe of expectation to hear what thie youthful theologian woule say, whom host of them had educated over their heads. V I shall never forget hearing my eother relate this story to a large auaieuoe in Chieago when she was on one of her Lyceum lecturing trips in 1880. After dilating on how hard these girls had worked to raise the money to eduoate this specimen of the gehue homo, describing the scene in the ehurch that lovely spring morning, in her round, full, rich voice she asked that ~ % is vast assembly of men and women, “whet, my heerere, do you think he took for hie text?

She kept her temper, was full of wit, there was always a merry twinkle in her eye, and she was bleeeed with a keen eenee of humor. All my grandmother’e daughters were well trained in houeeheld duties; and nothithetanding there were many servants in the house, they were obliged to epend a certain length of They were all fine time each day attending to these duties. housekeepers before they took their matrimonial flights. **********>I<***** At this period Elizabeth Cady was a constant vieitor at the palatial home of her eouein Gerrit Smith, the great She and his only ﬁaughter, Elizabeth, were devoted friends; my mother’e numerous vieite there were one of the meet potent influences in moulding her after life. There never was before, nor eince, juet euch a place as Peterboro, nor euch a host and hoeteee as Couein Gerrit and Couein Nancy: I wish I had plenty of time and space to tell you of this Wonaerful houeehold. Gerrit Smith's father had pur-t ohesed large treats of land from the Oneida tribe of Indians end every year members of the tribe paid him friehdly vieite. The slaves, too, had all heard of Gerrit Smith, the greet Aho- ﬁig , . ;,.,,,.e.~x°k’I~"”‘ .;,..,,.g,,., , litioniet, knew him as their friend, and that hie house weegot the etetienmwe <m.,._..,...l Weeds: and 9» safe route to Canada. In oonsequenee the greet barns and out—huildings were ,frequently used as chambers for “the bleokmen from the Southern plantation and the red men from his home in the foreet." “The houee was lerge and spacious and always full of choice society xxx here you met eoholere, philoeophere, philan- thropiete, judges, bishops, artists, mueioiené and statesmen xxx There never was such an atmosphere of peeoe, of freedom and good eheer." Q A There were times when anti-slavery was the all absorb- ing topic; through these portele etepped Wendell Phillips, William Lloyd Gerrieon, Frederick Douglas and John Brown. Every poeeible phase of political and eooiel life came up for dieoueeion, and as these that did the talking were the leaders of thought of that day, you can readily judge of the influence all this had on the wide eeeke mind of Elizabeth Cedy. "Those roueing arguments‘ at heterboro made sooiel life eeem tame and profitleee elsewhere, and the youngest of us felt that oonolueione reached in that reohool of philosophy were not to be queetioned," my mother writes. It was at Peterboro that Elizabeth Cedy met Henry Brewster Stanton, a direct descendant of Elder Breweter, who oeme over in the Mayflower. He was then ooneidered, the most eloquent and impassioned oretor on the enti-slavery platform. Mr. Stanton had come to hold e series of conventions all over Madison County and made Gerrit Smith’e home hie head» 15 quarters. Miss Cady had a passion for oratory, and as Mr. Stanton was then in his prime, she see deeply impressed with his eposers. “He was a fine looking young man with a remarkable oonsersational talent: In the Conventions he ooula make his so- dienoes both laugh and cry at will; the latter Wendell Phillips said he never could do." Carriage loads of ladies and gentlemen drove off every morning to attend these meetings, not returning till late at, night. The enthusiasm of the people in these great gatherings, the thrilling oratory, were experiences never to be forgotten. My mother writes in her autobiography, "I heoame deeply interest- ed in Anti-slavery and temperance questions xxx I felt a new in— spiration in life, and was enthused with new ideas of individual .’ rights; for the Anti-slavery platform was the best school the, American people ever had in which to learn republican principles of government. As they oame out from hreakfast one morning, Mr; Stanton joined hiss Cady on the eiazza and suggested a horseback ride, as there was no convention that day. She readily agreed: the day see orisp and bright, the horses good and as they were re- ‘. turning home they stopped to admire abeautiful view, when suddenly, laying his hanﬁ on the pommel of her saddle, to her surprise, she says, "He made one of those charming revelations. of human feelings whioh brave knights have always gound eloquent words to utter, and to which fair ladies have always listened with mingled emotions of pleasure and astonishment.” V. =!t****=§=************ THEIR WEDDING 16 THEIR WEDDING The outcome of these glorious October days in JOURNEY Peterboro 1839, was a marriage ceremony in Johnetown, N. Y. may ll, 1840, henry Brewster Stanton and Elizabeth Cedy were the contracting parties. They etarteﬁ for New York City that day, and left for England on the Montreal, a sailing ‘' vessel, a few days later, to attend the World's Anti-Salvery Convention in Lonéon, to which Mr. Stenton had been eent ae a delegate. They hed a delightful trip which leeted three eeeke3 they landed in Torquay, and their journey next day; on the top of a stage coach took them through eome of the meet beautiful ecenery of England. Mother eaye; "The roads were perfect, the large, fine-looking coaohman with hie white glovee and reine, hie rosy face and lofty hearing, and the £i%§E man in red blowing hie long horn ae he rolled through the little villagee, made . the drive eeem like a journey in fairyland." Their lodging houee was the headquarters for many of the? most distinguished men and women delegates from Boston and Phila- ﬁelphia. There had.been a split in the Amerioan Anti—elavery ranks over the Egggg_ggeetion, and as the William Lloyd Garrison haanch maintained the right of the Women delegates to both epeak and vote at the Convention, my mother&e eympathiee were with the Qarrieoniane . "To me," Elizabeth Cady Stanton writes, “there was no question eo important ae the emancipation of women from the dogmas of the past, -‘hplitical, religious, eooial. It struck me ae very remarkable that abolitioniete, who felt eo keenly the eronge of the black elavee, ehould.he eo oblivioue to the equal wrongs of their own white eothere, wives and eietere." The question of admitting the women delegatee was hotly ﬁebated for an entire day; my father, Henry B. Stention, I am proud to eay made an eloquent epeech in favor of the women. 17 Every one in England had looked forward to hearing the far-famed William Lloyd Garrison speak, but he was so enraged at the whole performance thatyhe said, “I can take no part in a convention that etrikee down the meet sacred rights of all Women.” So he refused to go on the floor of the Convention at all, and eat in the gallery with_the rejected noaen delegateei The action of that Convention wee the topic of oonverea- tion on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, it etung women into thought and gave riee, eventually, to the movement for Woman’e Political Equality in England and the United States. My mother's aoquantainee with Lucretia hott, the Wonder- ful Quaker preacher, who was a liberal thinker in politics, reli~ gion and reform, onened a new world of thought to her. She nae one of the rejectef delegatee and Mrs. Stanton eat next her in the gallery. My mother was ahked on her return from Europe what she had eeen in the old world that interested her meet, her prompt reply was ”Lgoretia Mott!" hy father, among othere, was invited to epeak all over the British Ielee, of course mother accomnanied.him, and ae they were entertained in the homes of the nobility, and wealthy Qnakere in many of the cities, they had a rare opnortnnity for eee-y ing the home life of thoee daye, «They took time off from theee meetings to “do” the eighte in various p rte of Ireland, Scotland and England. They met many of the notable people of that day, Baniel O’Connell among them. He made his first appearance at the World'e Convention a few days after the Women delegates were re- T jected. He paid a beautiful tribute to Woman and eaid, if he had been preeent, he would have voted for their adnieeion. Mother eaid he was a tall, amgnifieent looking man with wonder- ful powers of eareaem and denunciation and added to this the 18 most tender pethoe, he could make hie hearers laught ehd ory at hie pleasure.

They spent sixteen years of their married life in that little town and thenetheir remaining children were born, two sons and two daughters. Just as Mother was ready to leave Boston her sister Mrs. Eaton, her husband and two children arrived from Europe, as Mr. Eaton had to hurry on to New York on business, and my father had to remain in Boston to close up his affairs, the two ladies with five children, a nurse and seventeen trunks started for A Johnstown. They had failed to tell their parents the exact » time and date of their arrival, so took them by surprise when they appeared at midnight? In consequence the whole household was aroused to dispose of them, Mother calmly remarked in her book, “But now in safe harbor, ‘Mid familiar scenes our slumbers were indeed refreshing. How rapidly one throws off all care and anxe iety under the parental roof." W Grandfather gave Mother an old fashioned house in Seneca Falls, also a farm not far from thevillage. Her elder sister, Mrs. Bayard, had lived in that town several years before. And as Mother had visited her several times, she was already well acquainted with many people in the town and vicinity. So after a few days of rest in Johnstown, she started alone for her new home, quite happy with the responsibility of re- pairing a hgﬁtgazgfputting all things in order. p The house had been closed for several years, so needed much done to it, the grounds, comprising five acres, were overgrown with weeds. Grand» father gave her a goodly sized check at parting and said with a smile,” You believe in Womanis capacity to do and dare, now go ahead and put your place in order.” 35 She says; “lifter a minute survey of the premises and due consultation with several sons of §_g_a__:_g_y, .9 set carpenters, ~ painters, paperhangers and gardeners to work, builifafiine new kitchen, wood house and several porches: in one month I tooki possession." Her three little sons and their nurse were left at her Mother’s, so that she was able to give all her time to the work in hand and show the executive ability she posseesed.i In Seneca Falls my Mother found life comparatively solitary, as her house was on the edge of the village, and the change from Boston nae depressing. There all her immediate friends were reformers; and among the chiefest of that day. There she had a house with all the modern improvements, well —trained servants, near and delightful neighbors. Here the servants were inferior.__ She had an increasing number of. children and he::Zusbeady:¥::quently obliged to be away from home on business. She sums it all up so graphically in the following words, "To keep a house and grounds in order, purchase every article for daily use. Keep the wardrobes of half a doseh human beings in proper trim, take children to dentists, shoemakere, day and dancing schools, to find teachers for home study, alto- gether ma e sufficient work to keep one brain busy, as well as all the hoods-I could press into service. Then, too, the novelty of housekeeping had passed away, and much that was once attractive in domestic life was irksome. iI had so many cares that the company I needed for intellectual stimulus was a trial rather than a pleasure.“ A Before this her life had glided by with comparative case, but now the real struggle of existence was upon her. Her duties were too numerous,and ”none,“she says,"sufficiently ex- 36 hilarating to bring interplay my higher faculties, hence I suf- fered from mental hunger. I now fully understood the practical difficulties most women had to contend with in the isolated house- hold, and the impossibility of womanis best development if in contact the chief part of her life; with servants and children.” Near her house was an Irish settlement from which came constant complaintsthat her boys were throwing stones at their pigs, cons End roofs. This involved diplomatic relations b it £ If a?‘;:§:‘_ 5 §.~rv.; \«~- 4 my .~ s s ““ the ssh‘ of affairs, Mrs. Stanton was so successful that she soon became an umpire for all the troubles of the neighborhood. She loaned the men and women papersand books, invited the children into her grounds gave them fruit, toys and picture books. If a man came home drunk and was pounding his wife and children she was sent for at once.‘ Hurrying to the scene she would take Pat by the collar, seat him in a chair, talk to him and make him promise to behave, and he did. She ministered to the women in the pangs of maternity, taught them how to care for themselves and their babies, with her box of homoeopathic medicines she went among them when they were ill; she was looked upon by all as theéguardian angel. “Alas: alas! who can measure the mountains of sorrow and suffering," she says, ” endured in unwelcome motherhood in the abodes of poverty, where terror stricken women and children are thel victims of strong men frenzied with passion and intoxicating drink?“ Emerson says, g healty discontent is the fir3t-Bt¢* in ro sees, nrs. Stanton says, “The general discontent 1 felt with womanis portion as wife, mother, housekeeper, physician and spiritual guide, the wearied; anxious look of the majority of women n impressed me with a strong feeling that some active measures should be taken to remedy the wrongs of society in general, and women in particular; My experience at the World‘s Antiuslavery convention in Londcn, all I had read of the legal status of woman, and the oppression I saw everywhere, ssept across my soul intensified now by my many personal experiences. It seemed as if all the elemental had conspired to impel me to some onward step. I could not see what to do, or where to begin,~ my only thought waste public pro—_ ,test and discussion.” In this perturbed state of mind she received an in- vvitation to go up to Waterloo, the next town, and spend the day at the Hunts, to see Lucretia Mott, who was there on a visit. They had invited quite a party of their quaker friends to meet Mrs. Mott and'Mrs. Stanton, all earnest, thoughtful, married women. my Mother was so full of her spirit of discontent, and she poured it out with such vehemence and eloquence, that she stirred herself and all her hearers, she says, ” to do and dare anythingi”‘ They then and there decided to hold a ”Woman‘s Rights Convention.” They wrote the gg;;_that afternoon and had it print-, ed the next day in the Seneca County Courier, July 14, 1848. The. Call was given without signatures, it was merely an announcement of the meetings for July 19, 20. lThe chief movers were Lucretia Mott of Philadelphia, Elizabeth Cady Stanton of Seneca Falls, Mary Ann Mcclintock and Jane Hunt of Waterloo, and Martha 0. Wright of Auborn. The last mentioned person was the sister of Mrs. Mott and the grandmother of Thomas Mott Osborne, the present Warden of Sing Sing prison whou,you see comes naturally by his reform proclivities. All the women were happily married persons, with good husbands and families of children. 28 The convention was held in the Weéﬂleyan Church, Seneca Falls. It was a great success, the pla s has crowded,both men and women spoke. James Mott, Lucretiais husband, presided, a relisious earnestness di 1 :if££$§ﬁ;%€ﬁhe_ rsceesiass- My Mother sayst“ These were the hasty, iniative steps of the most momentous reform that has yet been launched in this sorld,- the first organized protest against the injustice shichhas brooded for ages over the character and destiny of one ‘gal; 3*.‘ 12-V half th§:;§;e.” W My Mother fails to relate in her Autobiography one incident that I think most significant ~ and which I have heard her relate many times. It shows how far ahead she was of her times, and how she saw into the future. she asked Frederick Donglas what it was that he saw that his people the black slaves ~ needed to put them on the right plane, ” Why the ballot,” he promptly replied. "And I see that that is exactly what we women need,” said Mrs. Stanton. <4? 5 _ Then she explained to him that sheﬂinipaéoi-to draw7K_e tap a resolution to that effect, which she would read, and that she wanted him to instantly jump to his feet and speak for her re~ solution, then she would do likewise. She told him that in the econferenoes before the Convention when she had said that Mssballot in the hands of'w men was the Key note to the situation) Mrs. Mott had exphainad,"Oh, Lizzie,if thee makes that demand thee will make us ridiculous. We must go slowly.” And my father who usnally stood firmly by her in all she did and said, and also spoke and worked for the Cause of woman was so amazed at her daring, when 29 when she confided to him what she intended doing, and was so disgusted whenshe would not follow his advice ~ that he left town and would not attend the convention!‘ But she felt she was right, and Douglas agreed with her and said he would help her out. Then, too, she remembered the advice Daniel Olconnell had given her years before “Claim the uttermost, then you'll get something.” Of course the rest were furious at her for springing her resolution on the convention, it created not debate but the brilliant defense of her position made by Douglas, and her own eloquence and logic carried the day. So that Mrs. Stanton's de- mand from the first was those three little words Votes for Women! Taking the Declaration of ngghte and Resolyutigns of those earnest men and women as their text, “it seemed as if every man who could wield a pen in 1848 prepared a homily on Qgggjswgghere." And the Sghere of Woman is still one of man's favorite topics in 1915! The ball was set rolling and has been in motion ever since, sixty-seven years! They were denouncsd_ by the entire press of the Nation. _ The same year of the Convention - 1848, the Married Womanis Property Bill, which had given rise to much discussion In? s s in New York, had passed the legislative and become arias. Mrs. Stanton and several other women had spoken before committees of the legislative, years before, demanding eqnal property rights for women. this bill was before the legislature from Governor Seward, you‘ll remember, recommended it. petitions for .it had been circulated for many years by women; and many men, lead- ers of the Dutch Aristocracy, also circulated petitions. These 30 long headed men wished their life-long accumulations to pass into the careful hands of their daughters and grandechildren, rather than into those of their dissipated sons~in-law. The bill had been ably prepared and championed by some of New York State’s best Judges, at different times, and the men were grateful for all the help the women gave them. Hence the demands of those in that first convention were not entirely new to the reading and thinking prople of New York,~ the first state to take any action in the laws concerning the property of married women. Mrs. Stanton remarks,”As New W York was the first state to put the word_gg;g_intc the Constitution in 1778, it was fitting that she should be the first in more liberal legislation for women." The effect of the convention on my Mother was most beneficial, its discussions had4g;gared her mind as to the} rise; stage to be taken for the enfranchisement of women, it gave her the opportunity to express herself freely on the subject that had lain nearest her heart all her life: she was then thirty-three years old. She was invited to speak in many nearby places, these new duties and interests gave her a broader out-look on life, her”petty domestic annoyances gradually took a subordinate place.” She wrote articles fcrthe press, sent letters to conventions, and friends trying to awake them to action. The ministers of Seneca Falls preached sermons on Womanis Sphere, the ladies took notes and answered them in the town paper. The women in order to answer these attackes, were obliged to study canon and civil laws, con? ID AMELIA WILLARD. SUSAﬁ B.

Anthony. She was teaching schoo at Canajoharrie, a little village in the Valley L a/“..¢yyo.JL of the t-hawk, she had been both §g§aed,and startled by “The On going home to Rochester‘ for her vacation, she found that her Quaker parents had attended the meeting held in that City when Mrs. Stanton spoke, and found her demands quite groper and reasonable. Miss Anthony was already 5 interested in anti~s1avery, and temperance and had spoken at meetw 32 ings; but the new gospel of Woman?si§;gg3g& as it was called Wyears, found a ﬁr response in her mind. /3 ’§reat women did not meet till 1851, almost from the day of their meeting, till the hour of my mother‘s deatn,~ a period of over half a century ’2%§Z}e was never a break in their friendship.3i§$:€ab1y oné of the most beautiful and intimate friendships ever existing between two women. Miss Anthony came to Seneca Falls to attend an entiwslevery Vmeeting gotten up by my father and William Lloyd Garrison. She was walking with Mrs. Amelia Bloomer and they met Mrs. Stanton and Mr. Garrison on a street corner. Miss Anthony often visited my mother after that to talk over the situation, and she incidentally assisted her in the " management of her fast growing family, for it was in Seneca Falls that We four youngest children firstsaw the light. We called her “Susan”, and ran to her with our tears and troubles, if we couldnit find our mother. Mrs. Stanton never knew what mischief. she would find had been done during her absence on errands in the village. «Her second son, Henry; then nine years old was quite an inventor and on one occasion as she was walking home by the river road, ehe was greeted with shouts from a boat full of boys on the water, “Oh! Mother, it works, it Works perfectly!" i “What works?“ she called outgi "My life preserver,“ the boy answered. And to her horror there was her fourth son, then a little over a year old, with the life preserver under his arms, splashing around in the river as blue as indigo: the baby, accustomed to a cold bath every morning in a large tub seemed to be enjoying it also, in spite of his color. K 1 $7 I 1 I ". 33 The youthful inventor was firmly shown the error of his ways in the privacy of his room, and forbidden ever again to take the baby outside the grounds. Shortly after the foregoing perform— ence Mother was returning from church with a friend, when suddenly he ssid,“Look up on the chimney, Mrs. Stantoni” And thanjshe beheld the same baby seated in the chimney topy withthe inventor standing beside him. She quietly slip ped up-steirs,out on the roof and rescued her fourth son Theodore,¥ who is a journalist, and lives in Paris, France, and is now serving every afternoon as an Orderly in the Anerioan Hospital during this awful war. Qn remonstreting with Henry over this breax-neck performance, he doe fended his action thus,"Mother, you told me not to take the baby out of our grounds,noe that chimney is in our yard.“ On another occasion the three older boys locked Theodore in the smoke house. He roared so lustily thet Mother heard him_ and let him out, then she spanked the other boys and shut them up in the garret, and taking her abused boy in her lap? was trying to console him hy telling what she had done with his naughty brothers, loosed them up so tight that they ooulenit get at him till she chose to let them out. _The child just then exclaimed, “Why, mother, then they all go running eoroﬁﬁy the lewnt“ They had reached out the window, caught hold the lightening rod, swung themselves around the corner of the large chimney and gone down the rod hand over hand. The youngest of them, Gerrit, had slid down and taken all the skin or: tne§ inside of his hsneg, and was sobbing bitterly to himself., So he had to be tr§%%§% with first aid to the injured. tlt was in the midst of such exhilarating scenes that Miss Anthony and I,“ my mother remarks, "wrote addresses for temperance, 34 anti-slevery, women*s rights and educational conventions..... We made it a matter of conscience to accept every invitation to speak on every question, in order to maintain Womenls Right to do so.... To this end we took turns on the domestic watch towers directing iamusements, settling disputes, protecting the week against the strong, trying to secure equal rights to all in the home as well J’ as in the nation.“ gr . .. «$7; 4-, L ' § Sag xi :4 Mother said whenever she saw thet stately Qisierégirl coming across her law, with her little black beg, she knew it was stnffed full of facts as to what this or that Reverend gentleman had said, or the statistics of women robbed of their nroperty, or shut out frgg some college, or the reports of some disgraceful triel,~“>r i enough to turn any womenls thoughts from stockings and péddings 3 " A Then these two would get out their pens and paper and write articles for the press in different parts of the Country, or petition the legislature, Write letters to their anti-slavery friends to remember the white women as well as the black slave. They never met without forging some kind of a thunder-bolt and sending it forth. 0f their relationship my mother seys,“In thought and sympathy we were one, and in the division of labor we exactly com- plemented each other. In writing we did setter work together than either could alone. While Miss Anthony is slow and analytical in comw position, I an rapid and synthetic. I am the better writer, she the better critic... Together we have made arguments that have stood un- shaken through the storms of long years, ergments that have never been answered.“ ahoeeer Therefnesv+<* one feeling of jealousy between thesithey ‘t indulged freely in criticism of one another when in private, each 35 hotly defending their opinions, but there was never a break of even an hour, mother says, in their friendship. Like a true husband and wife they had the feeling that they must have no differences oft opinion in public. Thus united at an early day these two unusual women began to survey the state and nation as the future field of their labors. They read critically the proceedings of Uongress, or Uonrerences and general assemblies, and found that in all aiine, the existence of women was ignored. night after night oerore an old-fashioned tire place these two plotted and planned the coming agitation. Soon the state was aflame with disturbances at temperance and teachers‘ con- ventions, and the newspapers heralded the news that women delegates had appeared and demanded admission; their rights were valiantly lfought for by the liberal men on one side and the clergymen and4é;4W*£9{;- professors on the other. They were rejected with terrible anathemaS.s The battles were fought in the chief cities all over the country, till the bigotry of man was Well exposed. "Every right achieved to enter a college, to study a profession, to labor in a new industry, or to advocate a reform measure was contended for inch by inch.‘ l The Women ofto~day will never know what to ﬁe early piou neers suffered and endured to give them all the advantages theye accept new as a matter of course. ‘ \\ Just at this time, Ocotber 18523 I appeared on the scenes; There sere four boys and mother being very fond of children, longed for a girl. She was an unusually strong, healthy individual . She didn‘t know what nerves out of tune were, and when she found herself again in an interesting condition, she determined to see if a per-« fectly normal woman oouldnlt have a baby without one pain or ache. 36 Her physician at this time, was a progressive, young homeopathist. They discussed the subject in all its bearings, and laid down laws for her to live by as retards dressy diet etc.. . , ooe__w,e'% /Ag%;;L%Qw£;&s¢u¢fQ+ou£%§»4ué79;7ewv“w4 Q She wore the much talked of glgggggmggggg at this times and/“2 - m _-e so was free from the turmoil ofnettiooe;sE)\She often spoke of how easy it was to go up stairs with a baby on one arm and a candle in ethe other hands and have no skirts to hold up. She lived out doors with her children, drove out daily, sangandglayed on pisno and guitar, read elevating books, and kept herself in as happy and sunny a state as possible{ At last the day of the great event Verrived. She called her housekeeper and told her to send for the ‘ dootor and nurse. But as neither got there, and she was well versed in whet had to be done on such an ocoasion,~ having taken a course in obstetrics, and assisted at several cases of childvbirthiw she did it all herself? She said I appeared with just one exertion. She tied the naval cord, out it, and delivered herself of her after- birth, putting it in e bowl or water, so that the doctor, when he oame, should see that it was all there. She sashed the faces eyes and mouth of her twelve pound daughter, rubbed her all over with oil and wrapped her in a clean cloth and laid her down to sleep. A baby is tired when it is born and should not be annoyed with the process of washing and dressing at once. Then Mrs. Stanton got up, bathed and dressed herself and went down to breakfast with her little boysi Father had been called away on business, so was not on hsnd for the great event. hy advent had taken place at 6 o'olook. she had sung to her sons the night before, accompanying herself on the guitar, and iblﬁ//éagw? told them, es she helpedAthem to bed,ihat probably a little stranger would be in their midst by the next day, that if it were a little 37 sister, they'd have to kneel and kiss her big toe every morning, but. if it were enother brother they need not do so. After breakfast she hung a white flag out of her window as a sign to some friends living on the other bank of the river. that it was a deughter. Had it been another boy the fleg was to have been red? iBy nine o’clock the lsdies appeared on the scenes. They were all listening intently to her recital of the transaction when in walked the doctor. He looked hurriedly around to see if mother were among them; then hearing a cry from the next room, with a puzzled look on his face he hurried in, examined me very carefully, then returned and looking at this bevy of femininity, inquired, "Which of you ladies is the mother of that fine girl?“ He was delighted at the result of their combined efforts, he gave my mother a careful examination to see that all was right, and said the baby was as perfect a child as he ever saw. Mother was never in bed an lextra hour either before or sfter my birtht Before eleven o‘c1ook she had written several letters announcing the arrival of her first daughter. She had dinner nxhhher boys, took a nap, and in the glorious October sunshine walked out to en arbor in the yard and gathered some grapes. The next day she drove three miles to Waterloo‘ to call on a friend and bring her down to see her daughter. This lady was a Quaker and a Spiritualist and when she heard the wonderful tslei she laid her hand on mother*s arm and asked tremhlingly? Lizzie, is thee in the flesh, or is this thy Spirit?“ Being assured that she was yin the flesh she beggedfher to hurry and get on her wraps and go down with her to see her lovely little daughter, as she must go back to nurse her. My mother always attributed a great deal of her perfect health to her wonderful powers of sleep, which she inherited from 38 her father. When Judge Csdy_hsd an important lsw suit to try, he‘d say to his sifeg" Now, I have ten minutes to spare, my door, before starting for Court. I*ll lie down and sleep here on the sofa, end when the time is up, sake me.” So heid assume the horizontal; right in the midst of things, throw a handkerchief over his eyes to keep the light out, and almost instantly was off in he lend of nod. When he was awakened ten minutes later, he srose as fresh es a newly blown daisy. If ever my mother were worried about anything, as s icnild even, she would go to her room, lie down anu tshe a nap. She didn’t know what nerves were. She wouloﬂsit down in the midst of her children in their play room and nééh-s fine speech;'nas sble to so concentrate her mind on her work that their noisy play neter disturbed her. She said she was like a clock that had to be wound up ehen the machinery ran down. Suioenly she would be so overcome with sleep thst she couldn‘t keep her eyes pen for snother minuts. So she*d lie down on the couch and say," how, children, you son take my shoes and stockings offend put them on again, do anything you like with me, as long as you don’t quarrel. I shall sleep right on, the feeling of your little hands is very soothing, but the minute you begin to squabble, youiil wake me right up.“ so this wonderful women could work by the hour and tske her naps even in the midst of her children, hence, why she was able to accomplish so much literary work while raising a large family of boys and girls,- for there were seven of us! A A strong, healthy mother is one of the finest works of the Creator, and when she adds brains, education, executive ability and accomplishes great things both inside and outside her house; she is to me e wonder! When I was about ten years old we moved to New York city, and when I was sixteen I came. back to Seneca Falls end made a long visit at the home of one of mother‘s dearest friends. There I heard ‘ come each week and give the lessons; ene established a gymnasium for the of end learned to appreciate ell that mother did in the years spent in that little town. Whet a wonderful housekeeper she was, every» thing inside end out of house in perfect order,~ she could peint,peper§ cook, sew, fill any niche suddenly left vecent. At night she told us children the most wonderful stories, played games with us, sang and nleyed for us, and helped put us to bed. She had a large bump of order, an artistic eye, was always well dressed herself, hed e way of bugging on her glgtheg_thet was individ- ual: the clothes of each child were laid cerefully on a chair to sir every night. She leid a clean suit of washable blue or brown materiel on eeoh boy*s oheir, with clean, sell darned stocking on the rounds of the chair, and the shoes, freshly blocked, stood side by side underneath. 1 She was the prime mover in e dancing school for the children end young people of the town, had one of the best teachers of the state ,5 .n.u«...~.x-..,.\.v.u:u-r.«--.o.~...........n....«—.......—’’ new youths or the village. I can remember various kinds of swings that we had in our yard under the trees, bars between trees, and all sorts of apperetus up in the barn for rainy days. They had e billiard table for the older boys, where they could bring their friends to pley, inn 5 steed of going to some undesirable plece on the village to learn the 3 A E% gems.

They were both wonderful story tellers, and never seemed to tire telling us teles before we went to 40 .hed. Our parents did ell they could to make our childhood heppy; mother wee very clever in inventing weye to get around eome diffi- culty. The eervant-question was rampant in thoee deye ee nowﬁ end ee ehe entertained dietinguiehcd people frequently and didnt went her older hoye at table and deeired her meele well eerved; ehe hed her eone ell trained to wait on teble.

At onetime she was much troubled et the way her young eone were swearing, and teking council with eweet little Lucretia Mott? who was her gueet juet then, ee well as Miee A Anthony, Mre. Mott euggeeted they all swear at the teole and ece if they couldn‘t eheme them out of it. So when they gathered around the board, Mre.

Thie was kept up for three meele,‘ but on the fourth eome distinguished gueete were preeent who had been let into the eecret — etill the oethe of the three noteblo lediee flew about the teble.t The boys were dietreeeed, as they eerved the gueete and noticed the looks of horror on their feceeg end when they got their mother alone, they gathered ebout her and eeid with tears in their eyes," Mother, whet will Governor Seeerd and Wendell Phillipe think of your eweering like that?" “Well,” ehe eeid,”you boye ell eweer, end so I thought I would too. Don't you like to hear he?“ W "No, mother,“ they all responded in chorus, with tears in their voicee. 41 “Very Well," she said, with an arm sbout each son, as he ilesned against her shoulder, while the third set on a little stool, with his head in her lap,”if you will all stop, I will also.” And they did. First speech In l854 mother prepared her first speech to be before the - A i Legislature. given before the legislsture of New York State. I have often heard her tell of that experience. She had spoken before anti-slavery, temperance and women suffrage conventions,‘but never before such an august assemblage as the Legislature of her native Stste. On her way to Albany she stopped over at Johnstown with. her youngest children and nurse, to have a short visit with her parents, but they did not know the object of her trip. She had spent a long time preparing her speech and when it was finished read it aloud to her husband and he pronounced it excellent; so that she felt quite contented in her mind. As she sat reading late one sfternoon her father came in and laying the glbsny Evening Journal in her lap he pointed to an item in the paper and asked her if it was true. It read something like this} "Mrs. Elizabeth Csd Stanton, daughter of the distinguished jurist, Judge Daniel Csdyé will address the Legislature at nlbsny," giving the day and date. "Yes, it is true," she replied in a calm tone of voice, while internally she was in s turmoil. "Have you ever spoken before such an assemblage of men?“ the Judge asked. “No,” she answered. “Then how do you krnw you can?" he said. 42 "I have prepared my speech, committed it to memory and it has been pronounced good, and I have been rehearsing it every day up in the garret since I came hereg“ replied the young woman. “Well, after tea this evening, I want you to come ever to my office and read it to me," he said as he walked out of the room. Mother eaid she never dreaded anything more in her life, an audience of one, and that one of all others whose approbation ‘she most desired, and who condemned the whole movement and wee deeply grieved at the active part she took in it. I However, she appeared at the hour named, and the , before the same large fireplace, where she had sat on his knee as a child and he had told her how laws were made, and how to get them changed, with all the determination she poeeeesed, she set out to Win over her unsympathetic audience. She had a wonderfully sweet, persuasive voice and threw all the pathos she could into it. She had arranged her speech under three heads, the i”?? laws as they affected ieomen in irlhood. as wivesr as widowe. Her word pictures were ac I I forceful, clear and pathetic that glancing up, she saw the teare filling her fatheris eyes. "I cannot express the exaltaticn I felt,“ she saysg"thinking that now he would see with my eyes, the injuetice women euffered under the laws he understood so well." Feeling that she had touched hie heart, ehe went on with new confidence and when she finiehed ehe saw that she had thoroughly magnetized him. “With beating heart," she writes, "I waited for him to break the silence. He was evidently deeply pondering over all he had heard, and did not speak for some time. I believedy I had opened to him a new world of thought." ‘He had listened, to the_complaints of women for years in that very room, but from the lips of his own daughter 43 they came with a new meaning. Turning to her at last, he eaid, “Surely you have had a happy,comfortable life, with all your Wante g E § 2% up, who has had no bitter personal experiences; feel so keenly the § wronge of her eex?* Where did you learn this leeeon?“ "I learned it here,” ehe replied,”in your office, as a child; listening to , ., .45. I eh ‘in the complaints women made to you. They who have sympathy and imag~§ ination to make the eorroee of othere their own, can readily learn 1 all the hard leeeone of life from the experience of othere.” '2 He told her ehe had maie her pointe clear and etronge but 3% that he could find her more cruel laws than ehe had quoted. Be A euggeeted improvemente here and there. It was after one oiclock in the morning before they kieeed each other good~night. She eaye,~ .“How he felt on the question, Iedo not know, as he nevergeaid anything in favor of or against it.” He always gladly gave her all the help he could looking up laws and was deeiroue that all she gave in public ehould be well-prepared. She went to Albany the next day and made a greet_eucceee of her epeech. The Aeeemhly room was filled to over~flowing, all the elite of Albany were there, as both ehe and her family were well known in the Bapital. There nae great curiosity felt, as most of the people had never heard a woman speak in public. Judge Page jo1ned her after the hearing was over and patting her on the back, eaid3“That wee a fine epeech, you did your father credit. Didnlt he have a finger in that pie?" And when ehe told him yeeﬁ he eaidy "I thought I recognized hie touch here andthere. You tell him that I eay, he ehould be proud of having euch a daughter!“

How strange is not that these very minds that reject Christ & his miracles & all the mysteries of the Bible because they are opposed to reason & the truth as we see it in other revelations of God's laws, should be deluded by this miserable piece of humbug. I believe this is all done by some human means. There's nothing more wonderful about this than the preformances of the necronancer. My Seneca women wish to know when they get their land. Ask Charley if we sent our list. I wrote mine out last fall if he has not got it I will make another I 4 Margaret Pryor, Wate2mlo0 Seline Birdsell, Waterloo Harriet Roberts, Seneca Falls rhe names of the other two I have forgotten but I will find out a send them again. will you mention these to Charley, or Cousin Gerrit whoever attends to this securing of bank billsyamongst the ranks of humandty or if the bid must be made out in a business manner I will add mine to Henry's. When you write to aunt Bell give ny love to her. When you come hither we will go up & see her.

Good night to thee angel we have thee alone May loyal celestials welcome thee home A May eherie spirits enter, And kneel round thy bed So thou tell us tomorrow All all they have said And tell us moreover if in that whole train There comes one more noble than Gerrit of fees. General John Coohrane A void is in our feast tonight Where‘s Gen.John the brave He's gone to point the northern light To the anxious shipwreck slave When he comes back we'll deck his bros with leurels ever green. The figurehead on the old ship of State Shall be Gen. John Coehrane. (Verses written for her guests by Elizabeth Cedy Stanton)
