m far and near. When I
gave away _The Revolution_, my husband said, "Wife, that is a
very talented paper; I should think you would preserve that." I
replied: "They will continue to come until our cause is won, and
I must make them do all the good they can." I am delighted with
the "Suffrage History." I do not think you can find material to
make the second volume as interesting. I knew of most of the
incidents as they transpired, yet they are full of interest and
significance to me now. My book is now lent where I think it will
be highly appreciated.

Mrs. R. S. Tenney, M.D., one of the most earnest and efficient women
of Lawrence, adds another testimony to the spirit of that historic
canvass:

INDEPENDENCE, KANSAS, _Nov. 23, 1881_.

DEAR MISS ANTHONY:--So you and Mrs. Stanton are about to burn at

others I might mention, will be ashamed of the position which
they occupied, and the doctrines they advocated.

Although the question of woman suffrage was submitted to the
people by a Republican Legislature, prominent Republicans refused
to recognize it as a party measure, and the consideration the
Legislature bestowed upon the intelligent wives and mothers of
the young commonwealth, was evidenced by associating them in a
bill with ex-slaves and traitors. Rev. Richard Cordley said that
"if the women had waited till the negroes were enfranchised, he
would have worked for their cause most heartily." As though women
