vigorous worker, a profound and logical speaker, has
a truly wonderful influence over her audiences and produces conviction
wherever she goes.... She has a peculiarly happy manner of using the
right word in the right place, never hesitates in her language, and is
evidently as brimful of argument at the close of her lectures as at
their beginning. She has awakened the dormant feelings of duty and true
womanhood in many a woman's heart in Portland, and scores of ladies in
our community who never before gave the question a moment's
consideration are now eager for the ballot."

From Portland Miss Anthony wrote to The Revolution:

There is something lovely in this Oregon climate beyond any I have
yet known on either side the Rocky mountains. It is neither too hot
nor too cold, but a delightful medium which I enjoy as I sit this
second September Sunday in my room at the St. Charles Hotel, with
its windows opening upon the broad and beautiful Willamette. I am
surprised at the size of this city, and the evidences of business
and solid wealth all about....

John Chinaman too is here, cooking, washing and ironing, quiet and
meek-looking as in San Francisco. The Republicans of this coast,
like the Democrats, talk and resolve against him for political
effect, merely to cater to the ignorant voters of their party. They
say he can not be naturalized on account of some stipulation in the
old treaty with China, when they know or ought to know that the
Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments have as effectually blotted the
word "white" out of all United States treaties and naturalization
laws, as out of all the State and Territorial constitutions and
statutes. Their pretence that the Chinaman may not become a citizen
of the United States, precisely the same as an African, German or
Irishman, is matched only by their denial of citizenship to the
women of the entire nation. Under the old regime it was the negro
with whom we had to make common cause in our demand for the
practical recognition of our right to representation. In snatching
the black man from our side, the Republicans, out of pure sympathy
doubtless, lest we should be without any "male" compeer in our
degradation, leave the innocent Chinaman to comfort and console us.
Are we not most unreasonable in our dissatisfaction with the
company our fathers and brothers constitution
