ep back the coming of right and justice to
their sex, when such women as Lucy Stone and others are giving
their lives to the cause? She is no more a woman than we. Some
men say, with the one in Colorado: "Now, I'm agin suffrage. I
believe that the Almighty made one spear for wimmin and one spear
for men, and I b'l'eve that the wimmin orter keep to her'n, and
the men ort to keep to his'n;" and I agree. But who shall decide
as to "spears?" Are the men alone to say?

At the afternoon session LUCY STONE presented to the audience
Prof. R. T. BROWN, who has never failed to lift his voice in
favor of the recognition of woman's equal right to a collegiate
education, and who received the public thanks of many ladies of
this city recently, as a testimonial of their appreciation of the
step taken by him in resigning his chair in the Medical College
Faculty, because women were to be henceforth debarred entrance
thereto.

Dr. BROWN said: I have been engaged in this work for forty years.
When I began, I stood absolutely alone. I worked ten years and
made only one proselyte, and that was my wife. All mathematicians
know that if they can establish one or two points in a curve,
they can project that curve to its completion. In this way we
have established several points in our great work of suffrage,
and now we can see how to complete it. The work must go on. Truth
is immortal and will prevail. From the boasted civilization of
ancient Greece and Rome, which was nothing but an aristocracy, we
trace the gradual development of woman up to the present time.
During all that time the right of suffrage has been extended, and
now we have a male oligarchy. And we call this a republic! This
is not a popular government, as it has been called. Only one half
its citizens have a voice in its management. Now, we are trying
to make this a strictly popular government, and, to do this, the
right of suffrage must be extended to woman. The great object of
all government is the higher development of its citizens. The
government can not be an entire success until women have the same
rights as men.

Mrs. Dr. MARY F. THOMAS, of Indiana, said: In behalf of the woman
doctors of the State, I will say that Prof. Brown has stood up
for their advancement for the last twenty-five ye
