TO VOTERS. Wit. One of the Leading Ladies‘ of . Nevada City Has to Say. Eprror Traxsortrr:—The Record-Union of Sacrainento is harping on that old wornout argument against woman suftrage, of expediency. England knew that she could govern the colonies better than they could govern themselves, .The argument of expediency has ever been used by the tyrant for his own selfish purpose. Expediency is the attitude assuméd by many old cranks as well as the RecordUnion, who opposed placing power in the hands of intelligent women. Illiberal voters take that stand in relation to women having a voice in their own governmeut, It is degrading women to the level of iryesponsible human being, where they were placed in the government through circumgtances once existing but which exist no A new element is needed in the government, Justice demands that it shal] be.those who are governed and the brighte:t and most liberal minded are convinced that women should have a voice in their Tonger. own government, Women have advanced might. Interpret your own world renowned DecWomen are no longer willing to stand on that high pedeslaration and apply it. tal referred to by the Rev. Anna Shaw. We want to go hand in hand with . you The cothpany we are associated with so long has grown distasteful to us—we wish to choose our own associates. 4 Young men generally are more especially against woman suffrage than the old—newly acquired power gives them great pride and it: would seem of not so much consequence if shared with their sister. Don’t be afraid, young man, that we shall return to barbarism if not measured in your bushel. There is another class of voters, the wire puller; he does not want the women to vote; he cannot reach the homes to use his inIt is the history of Wyoming politics that few women attend caucuses or conventions; but it is well understood that candidates nominated for office must be trustworthy or they will be defeated; if disreputable the woman’s vote goes against them. But why predict such disastrous consequences as’ predicted by the Sacramento Record-Union? Women will ever be wives and mothers and if it is their disposition to neglect their families, excuses are always found to do so, I challenge any reader of this article to} find better wives and mothers in this town than those who believe in woman’s suffrage. I have often wondered why we stopped taking the Record-Union after being regular subscribers for twenty years, but now believe ‘that it must have been because it did not move with the age in which we live—it is not a case of ‘‘young man” in this instance, it is second childhood. The Nevada City Dairy TRANSCRIPT 80 far as I know was the firat paper in thi, State to come out boldly to declare itsel; in favor of woman suffrage; the TRANSCRIPT, which is the pride of our town, and the San Francisco Call can be likened te our revered Senator A, A. Sargent, who advocated the cause because he believed it to be a right principle although advised it would be to his disadvantage, the same as has undoubtedly been the case with the Transcript and Call. @ The Herald has given us some favorable views on the question, and we extend thanks for the. many notices of the meetings when Miss Yates and Miss Shaw lectured in this city. We thank the papers referred to for their able support. When such men as Abraham Lincoln, John Stewart Mills, Rufus Choate, all the Governors of Wyoming, Prof. David Starr Jordan of Stanford University and Prof. Le Conte of Berkeley and ". Feom Our San Francisco Correspondent, magazine articles and from the platforia, the question has been asked, “What ‘shall we in civilization, education and enlightenment as well as men, and are not content to be governed by AN INTRRESING LETTER —— Walter Mead. “San FRANCISCO, May’ 9, ‘1896. ° Eprror:Transogiet: In editorials, .in do with our boys?” Horace Greeley, as we all know, advised that they go West. Others had different theories and advanced them with more or less force. If they take the advice of thel amented sage of Chatauqua . I would say to them: ‘Spend a few ye ars in Nevada county; breathe its free air and then, after an experience that can only be . gained:there, shyw to the world *vhat you have learned.” Ihave already written of some of the NEVADA COUNTY Boys Who have gained fame. and in some cases fortune in other places. They have solved the problem of what shall be done with them, I-have mentioned so many that it seems the list must soon be exhausted ; yet, like Banquo’s ghost, they will not down. Let me put .on my thinking-cap, and perhapsI can entertain your readers by ‘‘looking backward” and giving them the benefit of my ideas of some of the boys who formerly lived in Nevada county. When I first knew the Davis family they lived in Cherokee, It was then a thriving mining camp or village, but I will not stop to. dilete upon that, The -father, Aaron Davis; was considered quite well-to-do, while the mother was noted for her kindness of heart and -charitable instincts. Brought up in such an atmosphere, what wonder that the c':ildren were general favorites? There were four—Morris W., “Wood,” George G., and a girl whose name [ have forgotten. In time, they moved to Nevada City and lived in a house back of the Court House. ‘‘Wood” and Merris learned the ‘printer’s trade in the TrayscRIPT office, and when they gained a proficiency in the art, under the able tutelage of the senior proprietor, they sought new fields, where they thought their chances for success would be greater. The next time I saw these boys was in 1868. Morris was a conductor on a street car line, while ‘‘Wood” was working at his teade. Shortly afterward Morris became Assidtant Superintendent of the same line, under the late John A. McGlynn, In’ time he became interested in politica, He has tilled many positions in that line since he first entered the arena, the most notable one being Superintendent of the house of Correction here. He is now Manager of the Modern: Laandry in thiscity, His daughter is married ‘to ex-Senator J.J. Harrigan, Secretary of the Board of Port Wardens, “Wood” stuck. to the ‘‘case” for years, and when times became dull in that line he turned his attention to other pursuits. He has-been laborer, farmer and all-around worker. At present he is working for the “-udorgd o. byroitunaw wou uw va we ugu road to distinction in his profession, At present he is Justice of the Peace and Police Judge of Sasramento, a stepping-stone to further honors. The father and mother are still alive, pursuing the even tenor of their existence on their little ranch in Sierra Valley. Mr, Davis is 82 years of age. Another one of those bright boys from Cherokee was Billy Martin, He was fat and jolly. closely as the reporters here do to Dr. Brown. . It did not-annoy him, as I do not believe the attentions of the ‘‘sleuths” do the doctor. After moving around he finally settled in Reno, Nevada, where he’ engaged in merchandising, He was successful, When a bank was started in that thriving place ne took a leading part in its establishment, and he is today William Martin, Esq., the banker. But my informant says he is ‘‘just the same ‘Billy’ as of old.” Were it otherwise he would not be a Nevada county boy, As I passed along Front street the other day I heard a voice say, ‘‘Hello, Walter,” I turned and saw Johnnie Donnelly; and as he stood in the doorway of Moore, Hunt & Co., the firm in whose employ he is, I thought of bygone days. It is a habit I have. Perhaps it is a bad one, but I leave your readers to judge. If no one was to tell of men'and of measures that have. lived and have died, how soon would all be forgotten? The present is here, the fature is before us, but the past is ours, But let me return tomy subject. Johnnie could not have been more than four or tive years of age when first I saw him; and now gray hairs mingle with the black that covers his head. How time does fly! But he is as jolly and as happy a man as one could wish to meet. I am’ told he is one of the most popular travelers on the road. I can well believe it, as Mr. Kirkpatrick, the bead of the house of Moore, Hunt & Co., employs the most profound thinkers of the age ap-. one but the best. Johnny eays he will be prove, dear voters, don’t think there is. im Nevada City in a few days. nothing new for you to learn; investigate, And there was Joe Blum.
