proposition of striking the words "white
male" from the Constitution had been submitted to the people, and
the result of the campaign was one third the vote of the State in
favor of both propositions. Of Miss Brown, now preaching in New
England, we can not forbear saying we have few in our ranks more
earnest, honest, or devoted. A clear, incisive intellect, a true
heart and firm purpose mark her every day life. She is
unobtrusive and gentle, but always ready at the call of duty. On
this campaign they were joined by a new worker, George Francis
Train, whether for good or ill it will be for history to decide.
Certain it is, that a new impulse was given to the cause, and
_The Revolution_ established, with Susan B. Anthony as

work in the establishment of the Woman's Bureau, by Mrs.
Elizabeth B. Phelps. Its discontinuance was due to the same cause
which has thwarted so many plans of women. There were not a
