It was pleasant to see
husbands and wives enter the hall together, only they had to
separate, one turning to the right hand and the other to the
left, when no separation should have taken place.

Some women spent the day in going after their friends and
bringing them to the hall. Young ladies, after voting, went to
the homes of their acquaintances, and took care of the babies
while the mothers came out to vote. Will this fact lessen the
alarm of some men for the safety of the babies of enfranchised
women on election day? One lady of refinement and aristocratic
birth brought her little girl of ten years with her, and I assure
you it did the men good as well as us. They said they never had
so quiet and pleasant a time at the polls before, though it is
always more quiet here than in many other towns, because the sale
of ardent spirits is forbidden. John Gage--bless his dear
soul--identifies himself completely with this glorious cause, and
labors with an earnestness and uniformity of purpose that is
truly charming. His team was out all day, bringing women to vote,
half-a-dozen at a time, while his personal efforts were
unremitting and eminently successful. He and his noble wife,
Portia, seem to be, indeed, one in thought and action. Some time
ago he sent a pledge to the candidates for office in this State.
By signing it, they promise to sustain the cause of woman
suffrage by every means in their power. Nixon, candidate for the
Senate, signed it last year. House, candidate for the Assembly,
signed the pledge at the eleventh hour, and though he lost two of
our votes by the delay, yet he, too, is elected. Thus we have, at
least, three public men in New Jersey pledged to sustain the
woman suffrage cause. We think it is time to say to candidates
for office: "You tell us we have a good deal of influence, and
ask us to exert it for your election. We will do so, if you will
promise to advocate our cause. If you do not, we will oppose your
election." The result of the ballots cast by the women of
Vineland is this: For president--Grant, 164; Seymour, 4; E. Cady
Stanton, 2; Fremont, 1; and Mrs. Governor Harvey of Wisconsin, 1.
