the elective franchise to women in that

such misgiyings are gone since my stay in

would be as good as that of man in voting,
but what would be the influence upon the
character of the voters themselves troubled
me.
The ladies are foremost in every good
cause in this city, and those whose names
have been most conspicuous IN politics are
still recognized as pure and heightened
Christian ladies.
I have not time to notice all who have
been prominent, but the names of Mrs
Eliza Boyd and Mrs. Boies are familiar to
the country at large; and to satisfy the
thousands who, like myself, have no doubt
wondered in their own minds how they
lived at home, and how they stood socially,

ladies and find them good mothers at home,
and that they bear good Christian charac-
ter among their neighbors.
1t is safe to say that the healthy tone of
society in Laramie to-day is due in a great
degree to the efforts of women.
