Excerpt from The Winning of Nevada for Woman Suffrage: Including Oration of Hon. Curtis J. Hillyer, Delivered Before a Joint Session of the Nevada Legislature in 1869, an Unanswerable Argument for the Suffrage Cause
It was first decried, disparaged and ridiculed, and when finally put to a vote it. was "laid on the table." But a few days later it was resurrected through the efforts of Mr. Hillyer, and following an argument by him, delivered in the presence of the members of both houses, and which for oratory and presentation of facts has never been excelled, the resolution passed by a vote of 25 to 11. It then went to the senate and passed that body by a vote of 12 to 4. Passing through other formalities it wont to the governor and the secretary of state.
At the next session of the legislature, 1871, no trace of the bill, which had been received by the governor two years before, could be found, and as the laws of Nevada require that all constitutional amendments shall be favorably passed upon by two consecutive legislatures and that no substitute for a signed and "lost" bill can avail, the measure died with this session. Whatever became -of the signed resolution or who was responsible for "losing" it, are matters that have never been explained.
Further legislative action on suffrage remained quiescent until 1S95, though the people of the state, however, had not lost interest in the question in the intervening years. They agitated it continually and this year - 1895 - they were strong enough to get it before the legislature and compel its passage, but the following legislature, which met in 1897, two years after, defeated it by a tie vote.
