The line of division between them
was this: The former wished to
concentrate on the passage of con.

was In favor Of obtaining the suf.

pushed along both lines of endeavor.
Mrs. Stanton was president until
1892. Miss Anthony served until
1900, resignlng at the age of eighty.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait was its

Mrs. Gait was then again chosen.

The National association made ar
