race. Had he been our nominee before
he announced himself as candidate for
the republican nomination, the case
would have been different.
But that matters not now. Mr.. Linton
received the second highest yote-out Of
eight candidates in the republican con.
vention, which, in itfelf was certainly a
high compliment to the judgment of the
workingmen's convention. s.
In the place made vacant by Mr.. Lin,
toms withdrawal, the county central com.
mittee have placed the name of Joel w
shackleford, a young man, with good,
clear record, who is making the race fol
the Office on his own merits, without be,
ing backed by any bonanza king or par
ticular faction of politicians. He is a
man of moral habits and general good
character, and one who is noted for his
faithful friendship.
Mr.. Shackleford received the unani.
NOUS nomination of the democratic con.
vention, and that, with the Endorsement
of the workingmen and the high esteem
in which he is held in the community
should be sufficient to elect him by q
large majority, and think it will.

THE Republican seems to be halting
between two opinions with reference to
the ticket nominated at the convention
last Saturday. In one article Sunday
morning it says, while it does not love
the ticket nominated, or think it strong
one, it will do all in its power to secure
its election. In another editorial it
charges plainly and emphatically that
Boss Chaffee is the worst enemy Of the
party in Colorado, aud pledges itself to
show that Graham has been a traitor to
the party and a bolter on numerous in
excusable occasions. Now, if the Re-
publican desires to substanti ate its claim
to honest repdblicanism and inspire the
public with the idea that it is for clean
party politics, why don't it come out Hat
footed and refuse to support the action

OUR CHOICE.

This issue of THE ENQUIRER produces
the ticket of the workingmen to be
voted for at the county election in No
vember. 1t is good one, and should
be supported by every mechanic, laborer
or other character of wage-worker and
farmer in the county.
After the conventions of the republi-
can and democratic parties designations
were handed in by several of the gentle
men who were nominated at the work
ingmen's convention. This was expected
by the convention, and provision was
made for it, by the instructions given to
to the county central committee to fill
all vacancies occurring through with
drawal and otherwise.
The committee have used their best
judgment, and the names substituted by
them, in the places of those who have
requested that they be permitted to with
draw from the canvas, are those of gen.
tlemen who, of the various candidates
in the field, seemed the most favorable
to the cause.
There may be difference of opinion
regarding the gentlemen who withdrew
from our ticket after they failed to re,
ceive the nomination of either of the
other conventions, but 1 feel satisfied
that the thinking wo1kingmen will cheer,
fully grant that it was their right, and
in most of the cases, the best thing that
could be done for their interests, and oul
own.
We now have ticket which it seems
every friend of the cause can rally to the
support of, and one which we can carry
to success, If we but do our duty.
The workingmen of this county have
great deal at stake in this election, in
asmuch as their success in electing {
favorable legislative ticket next yeal
will depend to great extent upon the
strength they show this year. Therefore
every man who honestly desires a legis
lature in 1884 favorable to the interest.
of the workingmen should throw hi
coat and work for our present county
ticket.
1t was 80 near the time of going tc
press before the ticket was fully agreed
upon, that full review of it in this ISSUE
of THE ENQUIRER is impossible. In the
next issue the matter will be more fully
treated,

FOR sHEnlEF,

The interest in county campaign un-
questionably centers upon the. Office of
Sheriff. Why this is so it would be need
less to explain. But because of that fact
the workingmen in their convention
nominated man who was acceptable in
every way to the workingmen of the
county, and combined the elements Of
strength and pure political record
"a man who was not open to the charge
of being the tool or champion of any
corrupt political faction.
Mr.. Linton was, before receiving the
workingmen's nomination, candidate
before the republicans of the county,
They saw fit to defeat him in their con-

Our friend "TOil" meets "Sloth" on the
street They both bow and shake hands.
The face Of 'Sloth" is pale and languid,
like the face of one who has Just passed
through severe illness. His clothing
seems to have been shaken on him, and
he tremjle les with an exceeding nervous
ness. A dull haze is in his eyes. On
the other hand our honest friend "TOil"
looks strong, robust and healthy-lOOks
as if he could easily crunch between his
hands the Iank form of "Sloth." His
eye has the glow, the glance of the
eagle. His step is light good humor
kindIes his face and sell-reliance is
stamped there. Remarking all these
favorable signs, and envying "Toil' his
good fortune, "SIoth" says, in very
weak, piping voice, which might be
likened to that of a sicKly child -
Mon cher ami, you're looking very well;
Your cheeks are rOsey and your eye is clear.
Where have you been? Pd like to hear you
tell;
I've missed your face for many a buried
year.
I'd like to travel where your feet have
strayed,
SO bloom might fill my Sunken eye and
cheek;
The land you've trod for invaldS was made;
Mon cher ami, you'll favor me and speak. !"

And treads the deck in friendship with the
Then holding his HAVANA in cOmplacent
pride,
He shot glance upon the friend he knew,
And bending down, as if smile to hide,
Replied in words dispaSsiOnate and true:
"You say my cheeks are rOsey, and my eye
Healthful and clear as summer day;
But thine, mon cher, is Shrivelled up and dry,
As if some curse was with ring them away
An idle heart, not knowing blest ambition,
Will pine away amid conflicting thought
Nor lift hand to reach high position,
For which most men in every age have
fought.
''Mon frere, inaction brings our bodies to
decay;
Our hands must toll to keep the blood a.

JUST THIN OACE.

In the last Issue of the "Old Reliable"
Rocky Mountain Herald, THE ENQUIRER
is treated to some editorial(?) notices for
which the bill has not yet been pre-
sented Although much prefer to do
my own advertising, or prepare whatgoes
into other papers, l will net refuse to
pay the Heralds bill-and I'll stand a
little advance on the patent-medicine
rate it charges for its valuable space.
The editor of the Herald, who is $50
he would make us believe) military
man of some note himself, thinks a re-
cent editorial in THE ENQUIRER was a
"low and uncalled-for attack on General
Sherman" He-Brigadier General
Rocky Mountain Herald-says General
Sherman is entitled to all the honors
which are now being showered upon
him by the country" He also says
something about me sweeping my~6wnn
doorxaslET4 .slT Cream s5aa;w which purely original
expression he does not explain the pecu-
liar application of in this case.
Now, W. T. Sherman has received pay
a hundred times over for all the service
he ever did this country, and as for his
great bravery, l emphatically deny that
he, or any other high priced commander
displayed any great amount of that arti
Gle during the. "unpleasantness." lhave
a father, who is now hobbling around on
lame leg, who was a private in the
army of the union, and if his claims on
his country rested on such tlimsy ground
as do those of some of the great gener-
ais" l would disown him.
The brilliant "oldtime journalist" Of
the Herald remarks further:
"If THE LABOR ENQUIRER is not run to
make money and delude the working
men, it should put its subscription down
to ST per year." and "If the editor of
THE LABoE ENQUIRER io so opposed to
having homage paid person, why is it
he always gets on committees or goes to
the conventions as delegate" 2"
For unadulterated idiocy, I'll pit the
above against anything on record.
The reason why the subscription price
of this paper is not reduced to 81, is
that the paper is all set up at home, paid
for at union rates, is not halftilled with
the foul advertisements Of specialists, y
and more particularly because TBE EN-
QUIRER is the advocate Of fair pay for
fair work
In reply to the last astounding query,
would say that the editor of THE EN-
QUIRER, nor his many friends and CO.
workers in this community do not con-
slider the duties placed on him as hon.
age But instead, it is hard, and some
times unrewarded labor, for which there
are usually few applicants, though appre-
citation of the duty we'll performed may
te unbounded. Can the dough-head of
the Herald see the truth?
In conclusion if the editor of this pa
per wanted to make money and nothing
else, he would print paper a shade bet
ter than the "Old Reliable" and sell
paid up life subscriptions for forty cents.
And if he was after local temporary
popularity, he would toady to men with
money, stand on the corners and affirm
the nobility of the capitalist and the alb
surditles of the workers, and ever be
ready to steal into chair in the proXim-
ity of Senator Tabor, even if he did
block up the aisle and inconvenience
half the people in the hall.
