869? Would it
not bring you more subscribers, and better assist the noble cause
of reform? Although the Garrisonians have so ungenerously attacked
me, perhaps they will do as much for you as I have. If so, tell
them, confidentially, the thousands I have devoted to the cause,
and guarantee the haters of Train that his name shall not appear in
The Revolution after January 1. I can not better show my
unselfishness than by asking you to forget my honest exertions for
equal rights and equal pay for women, and to shut me out of The
Revolution in future, in order to bring in again "the apostates."

Although Mr. Train continued to supply funds and to send an occasional
letter for a few months longer, his active connection with the paper
ceased after its first year. In the issue of May 1 it contained the
following editorial comment:

Our readers will find Mr. Train's valedictory in another column.
Feeling that he has been a source of grief to our numerous friends
and, through their constant complaints, an annoyance to us, he
magnanimously retires. He has always said that as soon as we were
safely launched on the tempestuous sea of journalism, he should
leave us "to row our own boat." Our partnership dissolves today.
Now we shall look for a harvest of new subscribers, as many have
written and said to us again and again, if you will only drop
Train, we will send you patrons by the hundred. We hope the fact
that Train has dropped _us_ will not vitiate these promises. Our
generous friend starts for California on May 7, in the first train
over the Pacific road. He takes with him the sincere thanks of
those who know what he has done in the cause of woman, and of those
who appreciate what a power The Revolution has already been in
rousing public thought to the importance of her speedy
enfranchisement.

The heading of the financial department and the column of Wall street
gossip, which had given so much offense, were removed, and the paper
became purely an advocate of the rights of humanity in general and
women in particular. Up to this time the editorial rooms had been in
the fourth story of the New York World building, and the paper was
printed on the fifth floor of another several blocks away, with no
elevator in either. Miss Anthony made the trip from one to the other
and climbed the seven flights of stairs half a dozen times a day
