Mrs. Stanton made her first public ad-
dress. In 1866 she nominated herself
for congress in the Eighth New York

tion containing a woman suffrage pro-
vision.
Mrs. Stanton was president of the
national woman's suffrage committee
from 1856 to 1865, president of the
Woman's Loyal league in 1853 and of
the National association until 1873. She

ious laws, wrote cleverly and keenly on
many topics and was a helpful and
loved mother to her five sons and two
daughters.

her eighty-seyenth birthday. Miss
Anthony tonight said:

courageous woman, a leader of thought
and new movements. I always called
her the philosopher and statesman of
our movement. She was a most finish
