Letter to the editor of the New York times by author identified only as "A.P.P." The author accuses New York suffragists are misrepresenting the number of signatures gathered on petitions in favor of women's suffrage. He or she also argues that suffragists do not represent the will of the people as they so often argue because there are far more women opposed to suffrage in the state than there are women in favor of suffrage.
The letter was reprinted by the Albany Anti-Suffrage Association, more formally referred to as the Women's Anti-Suffrage Association of the Third Judicial District of the State of New York.

The twenty-sixth New York Woman Suffrage Association's annual convention was held in Ithaca, New York, from November 12-14, 1894. Earlier in 1894, New York State held its Constitutional Convention to revise the State constitution, which included a proposed amendment aimed at striking the word "male," and granting the right to vote. The suffragists were denied representation, and female delegates were not allowed.
The NYWSA, with the help of Susan B. Anthony, and the Women's Christian Temperance Union, collected roughly 600,000 signatures in favor of giving women the vote, but the petitions failed to persuade the delegates.
