e met Mrs. Stanton and Miss Anthony at one of
Alice Cary's Sunday evening receptions. As he approached, both arose
and with extended hands exclaimed most cordially, 'Good evening, Mr.
Greeley.' But his hands hung limp by his side, as he said in measured
tones: 'You two ladies are the most maneuvering politicians in the
State of New York. I saw in the manner my wife's petition was
presented, that Mr. Curtis was acting under instructions, and I saw the
reporters prick up their ears.' Turning to Mrs. Stanton, he asked, 'You
are so tenacious about your own name, why did you not inscribe my
wife's maiden name, Mary Cheney Greeley, on her petition?' 'Because,'
she replied, 'I wanted all the world to know that it was the wife of
Horace Greeley who protested against her husband's report.' 'Well,'
said he, 'I understand the animus of that whole proceeding, and I have
given positive instructions that no word of praise shall ever again be
awarded you in the Tribune, and that if your name is ever necessarily
mentioned, it shall be as Mrs. Henry B. Stanton!' And so it has been to
this day."]

[Footnote 42: Womanhood suffrage is now a progressive cause beyond fear
of cavil. It has won a fair field where once it was looked upon as an
airy nothing, and it has gained champions and converts without number.
The young State of Kansas is fitly the vanguard of this cause, and the
signs of the agitation therein hardly allow a doubt that the
citizenship of women will be ere long recognized in its laws. Fourteen
out of twenty of its newspapers are in favor of making woman a
voter.... The vitality of the Kansas movement is indisputable, and
whether defeated or successful in the present contest, it will still
hold strongly fortified ground.--New York Tribune, May 29, 1867.]
