In schOoIs-Other Important Reports,
ALBANY, Aug. 16.-The adverse report
Of the suffrage committee ON the PROPOSE
tion to allow the question Of woman suf-
frage to go to the people has been agreed
TO by vote Of 96 yeas to 81 nays. Tho
question is now dead.
Whom President Choate let fall the
gavel there were just q members scatter
cd around about the chamber, while the
spectators numbered Mrs. Blake, Miss
Anthony, Mrs. Greenleaf and Mrs. Almy.
The chair expressed his doubt as to the
presence of "A quorum and said gravoly
that those opposed to woman suffrage
were losing valuable time Finally tho
chair announced that there were % min
utes left for those fayoring the adverse
report. Mr. Mcclure arose, and wish 30
members in their seats began a, speech
against the extension Of the suffrage He
held that the convention had no right or
reason to present questions to the people
instead Of amendments in proper form.
While MIR. Mcclure was speaking, Mr..
Root camo in and raised the point Of no
quorum
Tho chair refused to entertain the point.
Mr. gRoot asked for roll call of tho
house MIR Dean held that Mr.. Mcclure
could not be interrupted by a call.
Tho Debato Closes.
Tho chair upheld Mr.. Dean, and Mr..
Mcclure proceeded He said that suffrage
was not u right, but u duty imposed by
the state. 1t would be unwise to make
IL duty for women to vote when the ma
iorty Of them did not want it. He thought
that the suffrage should be restricted
rather than extended He did not believe
women wanted it.
Messrs. Church, Phipps Fraser, Ar
mold, Mckinstry, Lincoln and Lauterbach
spoke In favor of suffrage for women, the
chamber IN tho meantime nlling up with
delegates and spectators.
Mr. Goodolle, chairman Of the commit
tco on suffrage, gave up 10 minutes of his
tiIne Mr.. Root was sure that women
would be degraded and their sex per-
verted by being put in politics. Suffrage
was not an inherent or natural right and
TO grant women the suffrage would DO to
destroy institutions and tho peace that
prevails Women in their sphere were SUI
perior to men and should remain superior.
