would bring forth. He
tnew that the Democratic party had
once given the ballot topOor white men,
and he wanted to see what they-would /
do with this question; and when all the /
nlatforms were before him, then he pro- /
posed to vote for that which would most /
advance the cause which was so dear TO /
him. He would remind the audience Of
the time when woman first entered into
politics, and of the moral revolution she
created. 1t was in 1910. She did not
vote, but she had begun to attend pOlit-
ical meetings. The Democratic meet
ings were attended by men alone, but on
the other side the women Joined with
the men in singing "rippecanOe and
Tyler too" and the result was victory.
Upon the reassembling of the Conven-
tiOn, in the afternoon, Miss Mary \.
Eastman made an address in which she
stated that the stronghold of caste in
this country to-day is sex, and cited sew
eral instances of oppression to her sex
from the enforcement of unjust laws in
making which they had no voice.
The President stated that several OF
the speakers who were announced for
the evening were unfortunately de
tanned, among others William Lloyd
Garrison was sick. Mr.. Blackwell
offered the following, which were
adopted:
Resolrod, That we congratulate the
friends of Woman Suffrage upon the
steady progress Of the movement during
the past year, upon the widening liberty
of thought and occupation everywhere
accorded to woman, upon the cO-educa-
tion of the sexes i'm the State universities
of Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa
and Kansas, also in Cornell University
as well as in Oberlm, Antioch and other
Colleges, upon the admission of women
ras lay delegates, deaconesses, and min
listers in Christian churches, upon the
recognition of wOman's right to practice
law by the Supreme Court of the United
States, upon the establishment of Wom-
an Suffrage in Wyoming and Utah, upon
the large votes recently given in its favor
by the Legislatures of Maine, Iowa and
Massachusetts, and upon the bills intro
duced in Congress by Senator Wilson
and Representative HOar TO confer
suffrage upon woman in the Territories.
RcSoLred, That the recent action of the
Brooklyn Presbytery in denying wOm-
ans right TO preach the Gospel is in
direct conflict with the laws of God,
under which, in the beginning, woman
was endowed with joint dominion; under
which, in the Mosaic economy, Deborah
led armies and judged Israel 40 years,
and under which, in the Christian dis
pensation, 'there is neither male nor
female, but all are one in Christ Jesus"
RCsOiCCd, That permanent political
reform can never be effected without
general attendance Of citizens at the
primary meetings, so as to rescue them
from the control of rings, and that this
aft -.
plished by the joint social influence and
cooperation of men and women.
RcsOlucd, That the Cincinnati Con-
ventiOn Of so-ealled "Liberapi Republi-
cans, by refusing TO recognize a woman
as delegate from California, by adopting
platform which enfranchises the
leaders of the Rebellion, and by nOmi-
mating for President a well-known oppo-
nent Of Woman Suffrage, has failed to
establish any claim TO the support Of
Woman SufiTagists.
RcsOLrcd, That we await tue action of
the Republican and Democratic Ma
tiOnal Conventions, reminding them
that the Republican party, having con-
ferred suffrage upon the negro, is bound
for consistency to confer suffrage upon
women; and that the Democratic par
ty, having extended suffrage to poor
white men, should extend il to all citi-
zens, irrespective Of sex.
RosOlUed, That Woman Suffrage,
which means WOman's Equality, will
result in greater purity, constancy and
/ permanence in the marriage relation,
and higher standard of personal, So
cial and political morality.
After the resolutions had been read,

been an advocate of Woman Suffrage
for thirty-fye years, and was glad tC
hear the resolutions, as they presented
the cause before them in its right as
pect The champions of Woman Suf
. frage had no reason TO be discouraged
/. His position required him to read 1

t ical wire-pulling and manipulating; bu
when the people were ripe for Woman
z Suffrage every political party would b
I glad to take il up, and Woman SufTrag
= would be assured. The proper way Z
{ secure Woman Suffrage was by the dis

I chusetts or Iowa would be first to gran
