MISREPRESENTATION.

We call the special attention Of the
citizens of Lafayette and vicinity, as
well as Of the public at large, to the Off
cial document hereby annexed.
It will be remembered that the mans
rights Representative from Yamhill de-
clared in the last Suffrage Convention
held IN that county, that resolution
was introduced to allow Indians and
women and Chinamen and everything
else to vote;" that he voted against it;
and that it only received about fourteen
alternatives. Following is that resolu-
tiOn in relation to citizens, whom Brad
shaw interprets to mean in this eonuec-
tion "Indians, women, Cinnamon, and
every other thing" We compile from
the verbatim report, as published in the
Portland Daily Bulletin, of October II /:

resolution, and two opposed. Hence.
the friends of freedom had counted the
vote q to 33.

Representative, Bradshaw, misrepre-
sented the women who paid taxes to
give office to man who brutally denies
them representation, and then accuses
ladies Of lying when they dare to expose
his abominable perfidy.
