.bat do you think Of the BROOKLYN protest -
"A. Henry NJ Sanders was asksd yesterday. -.
Mira sanders is the ChaIrmsn Of the commit
tee which has enlisted 80 msHy Of the fashion
able women Of New York on the side Of woman
suffrage She smiled q smile which hadn't .
trace Of bitterness or fear ~ che answered.

she said.
The same question was put TO Mfs Lille
Devereux Blake She did not tremb bic at the
recollection Of the ten objections OF the ladies'
Of Brookiyu. She preserved untuf1led serenity
IN the face oi the various beeauses with
which Mrs. Lyman Abbott and Mrs Tunis
Bergen and the other Brooklyn danes have
ssssiled her position.
"oh. 1 suppose II was to he expected there
would be some opposition" she said. "A
movement as strong IS ours is must naturally
bring out an sxpression from those who are
Of q different opinion. You know. you can't
expect sll people to think alike. OF course. I
would prefer that eur petition should 60 up TO
the Convention without . voice Of dissent l

woman suffrage in this State some very able
leaders have come to the front: but don't see
any woman In this opposition movement who
viii become q leader OF much strength. These
ladies' have views you know. but that is not
enough unless II is proved that majority OF
the women OF the State share those viewa
Even that ought not to defeat woman suf-
ffage. Il ls right and Just, and therefore ought
to come about. refore the war Il wasn't the
desire Of any great majority OF the negroes
that they should be free. The suggestion vas
unwslcoms to most OF them. Ny father was
large slaveowner. and none Of his slaves well
coined tho idea OF iresdom. But they were
made free. just the same.
I'm regard to the special privileges OF which
the Brooklyn ladies' think the franchise would
deprive us. understand that this refers to the
fact that man is required to support bis wife.
