, to report it with a favorable recommendation, without
amendment, for the consideration of the Senate. This is a
majority report, and the minority desire the opportunity to
present their report also, and have printed the reasons which
they give for dissenting. As this is a question of more than

the report printed for the use of the committee.

senator from Nevada [Mr. Fair], and myself.

A very brief history of the origin of this movement in the United
States and of the progress made in the cause of female suffrage
will not be out of place at this time. A World's Anti-slavery
Convention was held in London on June 12, 1840, to which
delegates from all the organized societies were invited. Several
of the American societies sent women as delegates. Their
credentials were presented, and an able and exhaustive discussion
was had by many of the leading men of America and Great Britain
upon the question of their being admitted to seats in the
