One of the most gratifying things about our suffrage movement is that it is almost universally endorsed by old people, those who have watched the progress of reforms in the last sixty years and who are rich in wisdom and experience. A recent illustration of this is a request received from a gentleman now past ninety-one years of age who sent for the full account of the late convention. He read all about the first convention fifty years ago in William Lloyd Garrison's paper and he has been interested in woman's equality ever since.
