reaching thousands, to pay our travelling expenses. It takes $50
each for bare railroad tickets. We are advertised to speak every
day--Sundays not excepted--from September 2, one week from today,
to November 6. What an awful undertaking it looks to me, for I know
Kansas possibilities in fare, lodging and travelling. I never was
so nearly driven to desperation--so much waiting to be done, and
not a penny but in hope and trust. Oh, if somebody else could go
and I stay here, I could raise the money; but there is no one and I

work done according to our best ability.

Miss Anthony and Mrs. Stanton left New York August 28, 1867. It was
necessary then to change cars several times to reach Atchison, their
first appointment, and the trains being late they missed connections

from the Constitution of Kansas, and for arranging a canvass of the
State in opposition to this amendment." A newspaper account said:

On motion of Judge G. W. Smith, Messrs. T. C. Sears, Rev. S. E.
McBurney and C. V. Eskridge were appointed a committee on
resolutions, and reported the following, which were unanimously
adopted:

_Resolved_, That we recognize the doctrine of manhood suffrage as a
principle of the Republican party, supported by reason, experience
and justice.

_Resolved_, That we are unqualifiedly opposed to the dogma of
"Female Suffrage," and while we do not recognize it as a party
question, the attempt of certain persons within the State, and from
