ames Blake, Lozier, Meredith, and Jones
were unanimously appointed.
Miss Authouy--Money is the soul of
any organization. We could not propa-
gate our principles if we had none Of it.
Mrs. DIR. Lozier-I move that we in.
clude in our petitions men as we'll as wo-
men. Men can get on better with women,
and Uice versa.
The motion was carried mem. con.
Mrs. Wilbour-The reason why only
women was put, was because they only
needed the suffrage. Hear, hear
Mrs. DR.. Jones--Msy i ask the advan-
tages Of the addition of men to women :
All men vote.
Mrs. DIR. Lozier-The cause of women
will surely progress under the fostering
care of men.
Mrs. DR.. Jones-Excuse me. misun-
derstood you; / thought you asserted that
it was men and women who desired the
suffrage. Q3 &
Miss Authony-If we could obtain the
names of gentlemen who are widely
known on our petition we might induce
their wives to join u.s.
Mrs. DR.. JonOs-Yes; that would do
very we'll.
Miss Anthouy-All those fellows 10
Office know that we are going to vote, and
they will soon see it too. Much laugh
ter. positively declare that this ia the
last time will have anything to do with
petition. [Laughter.] will take an
oath. sq
Mrs. DR.. Jones--Thats not proper.
Mrs. Vosburgh-It would be very im-
polite. in my opinion, not to get names
of prominent men who sympsthize with
our cause.
Mrs. DR.. Lozier--I admire the spirit of
Mrs. Vosburgh's reuiarks. | like that
sort oSthing.
Mrs. DR.. Jones-There are 2,l00 rea-
sons why we should vote if the men would
only consider them. We ought to put as
many revolutions before the people as
possible. Great laughter, the face of
Mrs. Jones bearing q puzzled expression,
which increased the merriment. We
ought to hold conventions in all the
States. L perceive that papers noticed
the Saengerfest in Baltimore, and even
noticed the lager beer, but no notice was
taken of our organization.
Mrs. DR.. Lozier-My father has just
returned from Minnesota, and he says
that we shall have the suffrage there in
two years. The Legislature is very en-
lightened one, and the people are very
intelligent, as may be seen from the view
they take of our organization.
Mrs. Blake-I see that the movement
in England is progressing. | read the
Telegraph this morning, and / see they
have had a very enthusiastic meeting,
though no women spoke, but men, such
as Mill, Houghton, Stansfeld, Fawcett,
and others.
Miss Anthony-It is an accomplished
fact in England.
Mrs. Blake-Yes; l know it is.
Miss Anthony = Won't Mrs. Blake
pencil down all the names on piece OF
paper2 | see Mr.. Huberg desires to
speak.
DR.. Huberg desired to read some infor-
nation in relation to the Women's Con-
vention at Berlin, Prussia, but he be-
lieved Miss Anthony could read it much
better than he could.
Mrs. DR.. Lozier proposed and Mr..
Blake seconded, that Mrs. Rose and Mr..
Stafford be appointed delegates to the
Berlin Convention.
Mr.. Phelps-Itis moved and seconded
well, really.
Mrs. DIR. Lozier-You seem to forget
the substance of the resolution.
3 The rssSlution was adopted.
Mr.. Blake--I move that the afternoon
meetings be continued till September,
and then some action be taken in the
matter of the evening meetings.
Miss Anthouy-Lsdies ought to at
tend the afternoon meetings,a as they have
time to go home and superintend the din
ner. don't want the World to say that
the same persons attend here every meet
ing. We always see half dozen new
faces. tr-
After some further discussion the meet
ing adjourned.
