iversal suffrage. These ladies stand at the head of a
paper which has adopted as its motto Educated Suffrage. I put
myself on this platform as an enemy of educated suffrage, as an
enemy of white suffrage, as an enemy of man suffrage, as an enemy
of every kind of suffrage except universal suffrage. _The
Revolution_ lately had an article headed "That Infamous Fifteenth
Amendment." It is true it was not written by our President, yet
it comes from a person whom she has over and over again publicly

choose to put officers here that ridicule the negro, and
pronounce the Amendment infamous, why I must retire; I can not
work with you. You can not have my support, and you must not use
my name. I can not shoulder the responsibility of electing
officers who publicly repudiate the principles of the society.

HENRY B. BLACKWELL said: In regard to the criticisms on our
officers, I will agree that many unwise things have been written
in _The Revolution_ by a gentleman who furnished part of the
means by which that paper has been carried on. But that gentleman
has withdrawn, and you, who know the real opinions of Miss
Anthony and Mrs. Stanton on the question of negro suffrage, do
not believe that they mean to create antagonism between the negro
and the woman question. If they did disbeliev
