_Herald_, if there was anything particularly strong in the paper,
her associate received the credit. The public will not permit
itself to believe a woman capable of humor, though I think Mrs.
Garrison did as much to sustain the paper's reputation for wit as
even Mr. Harding. A. H. Dooley succeeded Mr. Harding as editor of
the _Saturday Herald_, and it remained under his management a
sturdy advocate of woman's enfranchisement. The _Saturday
Review_ was established by Mr. Harding in October, 1880, with
Mrs. Garrison associate editor. Upon the death of Mr. Harding,
May 8, 1881, Mr. Charles Dennis became chief editor, Mrs.
Garrison[349] remaining on the staff as his assistant.

The _Times_ was founded in June, 1881. From the first it devoted
a column to notes on women's work. From September of that year
there appeared in each Saturday issue a department devoted to the
interests of women, particularly to woman suffrage, under the
editorial management of May Wright Sewall. This department
reaeppeared in the weekly and was thus widely circulated among
country readers. The _Times_ is under the management of Colonel
W. R. Holloway. Although from the first fair in its discussions
of all reform questions, it did not avow itself to be an advocate
of woman suffrage until the week after the public entertainment
of the Equal Suffrage Society, 1881, when there appeared an
editorial nearly one column in length, setting forth its views
upon the whole subject. This editorial contained the following
paragraph:

As the question is likely to become a prominent theme of
discussion during the next few years, the _Times_ will now

them of the right, and that its free and full bestowal would
conserve the welfare of society and the good of government.

In the daily _Evening News_, Mr. J. H. Holliday, with his
editorial aids, has set himself to stem the tide of progress
which he evidently thinks will, unless a manful endeavor on his
part shall prevent it, bear all things down to ruin. The
character of his efforts may be inferred from the fo
