The Bulletin thus began a fine report:  “As a speaker she has the happy faculty of presenting her subject in a clear and convincing manner.  Her style is forcible and argumentative.  She contents herself with facts—­presenting them in plain language, resting her case upon these, unaided by sophistry and the blinding influence of oratory.”  This paper, however, was very severe upon her doctrines, declaring editorially that they were “mischievous, revolutionary and impracticable, and would result in anarchy in homes and chaos in society.”  Mrs. Duniway’s paper, the New Northwest, said:  “Miss Anthony is a stirring and 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 constitutionally
