or had visited the
territory and witnessed the awful results or the total
failure of the experiment. We have usually paid no attention
to these false and anonymous scribblers, who took this
method to display their shallow wit at the sacrifice of
truth and decency. But recently we have received more than
the usual number of such missives, and more letters, and
from a more respectable source than before, and we take this
occasion and method to answer them all at once, and once for
always, and do it through the columns of the _Sentinel_, one
of the oldest and most widely circulated papers in the
territory, because it will be readily conceded that we would
not publish here at home, false statements and
misrepresentations upon a matter with which all our readers
are familiar, and which, if false, could be easily refuted.

We assert here, then, that woman suffrage in Wyoming has
been in every particular a complete success.

That the women of Wyoming value as highly the political
franchise, and as generally exercise it, as do the men of
the territory.

That being more helpless, more dependent and more in need of
the protection of good laws and good government than are
men, they naturally use the power put into their hands to
secure these results.

That they are controlled more by principle and less by party
ties than men, and generally cast their votes for the best
candidates and the best measures.

That while women in this territory frequently vote contrary
to their husbands, we have never heard of a case where the
family ties or domestic relations were disturbed thereby,
and we believe that among the pioneers of the West there is
more honor and manhood than to abuse a wife because she does
not think with her husband about politics or religion.

We have never seen any of the evil results growing out of
woman suffrage which we have heard predicted for it by its
opponents. On the contrary, its results have been only good,
and that continually. Our elections have come to be
conducted as quietly, orderly and civilly as our religious
meetings, or any
