A good deal of pith has been found by many in Mrs. Stanton’s remark that women are riding to suffrage on the bicycle. In a sense this is doubtless true. Bicycle and bloomer women will not be influenced very much by the nonsense about the sphere of women and the danger of their unsexing themselves. But those who imagine that there is any analogy between the right to ride bicycles and the right to coerce others by voting exhibit extreme superficiality, and the woman-suffragists may congratulate themselves on the certainty of speedy victory if their antagonists are non-plussed by such sophistical remarks as that of Mrs. Stanton.
