On the platform was an imposing array of intellect, courage, and
noble character. First there was dear, revered Lucretia Mott, her

sharpness and certainty, and there is no denying or dodging her
conclusions. Mrs. Mott followed Mrs. Stanton, and at a later hour
spoke again. She can not speak too often for the good of this or
