From a Lady Voter.
GLENN's FERRY, Nov. II.

EDITOR BULLETIN:-I am one O.
the numerous and supremely dis
gusted female Democratic voters O.
Elmore county, and | ask you tc
give me space in your columns tc
relieve to small extent my pent.
up feelings relative to the rnmanly
ungallant and treacherous acts OF
men who call themselves Demo
Gratis, yet they sneakingly worked
against one of our most esteemed
ard deserving candidates.
The results all over the county
OF the election last Tuesday are sat
lstactory and a source of pleasure
to the reform forces of this place,
with one exception alone-that of
the vote for school superintendent.
AS the Bryan Club of this place
pledged its members efforts to
make the Ferry the banner silver
town of Gilmore county, and on
election day rolled up such un-
heard of majorities for our candi-
dates, much indignation is felt here
at the way our fellow-twonslady
was KNITTED" las you men call it)
and scratched" in SO many other
precincts-the work of men who
with their trucking followers ought
to be in the goldbug ranks. In a
county like this, which give almost
200 majority for Bryan and Captain
Hunt, why should we lose even one,
and that one thoroughly fit, proper
and competent for the office. Her
lligibility-legally, morally and
In every other respect-has been
and is unquestioned. Do the men
who did such vile work wish to
drive every self-respecting female
voter in Gilmore county out of the
Democratic party? Most assuredly
it looks so, and possibly it will be
SO at the next election, unless the
honorable men of the party rise in
their might and kick the traitors
out and into the Republican party,
where their work is SO highly ap-
pr eciated
We claim to have as good mate
terial in our little city for any office
in the gift OF either Gilmore county
or the State Of Idaho, as can be
found anywhere in the world be-
yond the boundaries of our precinct.
Two years ago we sent one of our
people to the county seat into an
important Office, and his reelection
speaks louder than all we can say
of him. This time, notwithstand-
ing that we carried the rest of the
county ticket through by the vot g
We cast for it, it is singing blow
- as to have the lady candidate
lroul cur town side-tracked for the
enemy.
The silver men and women here,
particularly the women, feel that
there has been treachery of the
basest nature, and that Miss Nichols
has been betrayed by so-called dem
ocrats, false to the democracy and
true to no party. There is a here
after, and certain politicians will
find to their cost in the sweet by
and-by that Glenn's Ferry will have
remembered Miss Nichols.
The election passed off with the
usual excitement and warm inter
est peculiar to this place.
In your last issue you made spe-
eial mention of King, Boyle and
Gorby. We ladies were not idle.
We never were during the campaign.
Miss Anna Boyle, our secretary,
Mrs. John OMAHA, Mrs. Owen
Boyle, Mrs. John Latty, Mrs. Irving
Mccain, Mrs. I. A. Heron, the la
dies executive committee of our
club, like the heroes of Sparta, were
in the thickest of the conflict, ably
seconded by every lady in the club,
and they never rested until the
polls were closed. OF such are the
true silver voters of Glenn's Ferry.
Yours in sorrow, MIRANDY.
