Sir G. Grey and Women Suffrage
Sir George Grey has been on a -visit to Brighton, •which seems to have done him good. He spoke at the annual general meeting of the National Society for Women's Suffrage held in the Westminster Town Hall, Mr Leonard Courtney, M.P., presiding. Moving the adoption of the report and financial statement, Sir George Grey said, " That the gifts and powers of women were as varied as those of men, and they had as many or more means of influencing and benefiting their fellow human beings. Many of the best and most capable women had felt that they had. never had fair play — had aeyer been allowed free opportunity of •erring mankind. Women were entitled to exercise, without artificial let or hind ranee, the noble faculties with which they were endowed. It wan therefore the duty of ail women to strive for this free scope for their powers. The experiment tried in New Zealand had been successful- All Influenced by it had fallen into rank and co operated for the common good. The conduct of all the hnstiugs was admirable, and it was difficult to believe that so mighty a change had been effected with such an utter absence of f notion. If that example should be followed in this country, he was sure the feminine influence would be for good, and that every relation in life would be improved, and temperance and every good work be itiaiulaUd." The veteran's speech wat loudly cheered.
