NATIONAL-AMERICAN CONVENTION OF 1890 158-174

Mrs. Stanton addresses Senate Committee; the South has not treated negro men more unjustly than the North has treated all women, women never can fully respect themselves or be respected while degraded legally and politically, Queen Victoria contrasted with American women who do not wish to vote -- Zebulon B. Vance questions Mrs. Stanton and Miss Anthony -- Committee reports in favor -- Celebration of Miss Anthony's Seventieth Birthday -- First convention of the two united associations -- Striking resolutions -- Address of Wm. Dudley Foulke; fundamental right of self-government, equal rights never conceded to women, a just man accords to every other human being the rights he claims for himself, if one woman insists upon the franchise the justice of America can not afford to deny it -- Miss Anthony demands free platform -- Chivalry of Reform -- Mrs. Wallace on A Whole Humanity; woman is teacher, character-builder, soul-life of the race, not a question of woman's rights but of human rights -- Washington _Star's_ tribute to Miss Anthony.
