to withdraw in favor of Mr. Watson.
The notorious ''scab" John D. NcGilvray
is one of the opposing candidates in this
ward, and to insure his defeat the work
ingmen Should support HaIlam and
Watson McGiIvray has not the respect
and confidence Of the best element OF
the party which he disgraces by being
Unidentified with it, and if the working
men Of the Seventh ward will do their
duty by themselves they will give him
such a defeat this time thathe will prob
ably be contented to leave our city Coy
enment alone in the hands of honest
and respectable men.
In the Eighth ward two representatives
from the ranks of the workingmen
themselves have been placed in the field
for aldermen. Mr. @. 4. Ceander and j.
II. Brooks are both we'll known in the
Eighth ward and have the respect and
confidence of their fellow workers. Mr..
Ceander is an Old resident of Denver.
He is a tailor by trade, and has always
maintained the respect and confidence
of his brother w0rkmen and employers
by his honesty and industrious, frugal
habits. Mr. Brooks, while not 50 old q
resident as his colleague, has many
friends and admirers in the Eighth ward
and is a strong tavorIte for the council.
Both gentlemen are able and, if elected,
will make useful members Of the city
council, in which body their practical
knowledge will be of great service.
The Ninth is wholly a workingman's
ward, and none hut thorough and prao-
tical workingmen should represent it in
the city council The nominees of the
Ninth are both men Of superior knowl-
edge Of the character required to make
good and useful aldermen. Richard
Watson is an expert stone cutter and
would be of great service to the govern
ment Of city in which such a great
amount Of building IS done Mr.. t. P
NcPM1omy has a weIl-balanced head
and is cool and reasonable, just such ma,
terial as is necessary to make a useful
AMI trustworthy member Of the city
council. Both Of these gentlemen stand
high in the ranksof Denver's wagework,
ers and were hespoe@r by large nr3abers
Of friends 70 become candidates. Let
the workingmen of the ninth send to
represent it for the first time in the coun-
+ oil men who will do them credit and in
whom all ran have rontidence-McPhil,
omy and Watson.

The Tailors Win the Conspiracy Suit
Brought Against
Them.

Last Monday in Justice Duffy'S court three
members of the TaiIOTS' Protective society of
this city, were arraigned on warrants sworn
out by the ''scab'' tailoring firm of Frank &
Putnam. The cOmplainantS affirmed that
the taiOrs had mlawfuIIy conspired to de-
prive them Of competent WOrkmen, draw off
patronage from them, and otherwise injure
their business.
The circumstances upon which this nOnsen-
Sical attempt to injure three honest working
men was based are familiar to our readers.
The result of the suit is what everyone who
was familiar with the facts in the case and
the law expected. After hearing the alleged
evidence Of the prosecution, the case was
dismissed, without the defense presenting a
word of evidence, the court holding that the
prosecution had no grounds for their cause.
So the first attempt to do injury to trades
mOnist5 in Colorado has been defeated, and
it is well; for, be it understood the men who
belong to labor unions in this state know
their rights and are determined to have them,
and if any starvation, cheap-labOr, unprinci-
pied outfit think they can frighten us with
warrants, complaints, and cOnstables, Ietthem
keep on trying.

RALLY NO. I.
A Large Gathering at ArmOry
Hall, in Spite Of Indictment
Weather.
Stirring Addresses by Several Can
didates, and General Expires
sion Of Confidence.

Although the weather was very inclement
Thursday evening, rain beginning to fall
about7 o'clock and continuing all evening,
Armory hall was comfortably filed by s
o'clock Mr.. j. B. Lennon, chairman Of the
campaign committee called the meeting to
order and introduced John W. Mullahey, the
woIkingmen's candidate for police Judge.
Mr.. MuIIahey was proud to have received
the nomination of the workingmen, and if
elected would endeavor to always show his
appreciation of the honor thus conferred on
him, and should so conduct the business Of
the Office as to reflect credit upon his friends
who had first placed him in the field.
Judge Frank TiIford followed Mr.. MuI-
lahey, and for nearly half an hour held the
audience as only he can. His address was
logical, statistical and eloquent, and the
frequent bursts of applause showed that no
man can inspire the workingmen of Denver
with as great confidence as Frank TiIford,
whose honesty, friendship and untiring eff
forts in their behalf has won him first place
in the hearts of his fellow citizens.
MIR. S. A. Shepperd. candidate for mayor
was the next speaker. Mr.. Shepperd was
gIau Of this opportunity to formally accept
the nomination given him by the working
men of Denver, and felt deeply gratihed for
this mark of respect and esteem. He would
stand solidIy upon the workingmens plat
form, and with their help could land the
banner of reform in the city hall on the third
of April.
j. R. Buchanan, of THE ENQUIRER made
a few remarks upon the necessity of standing
firmly out for our rights at this time, when
an opportunity was offered to accomplish
great good.
Richard Watson, candidate for alderman
in the Ninth, was next called for and in his
open, candid style, this gentleman declared
the rights of the wageworkers to sit in the
council chambers of this Or any other city,
and called upon those present to do their
duty at this time.
Mr.. W. H. Mccarthy, nominee for alder
man in the Fifth ward, was called upon, and
addressed the assemblage for few miputes,
calling attention to the necessity for united
action on the part Of the ~Orkingmen of the
city, and assured them, that if his friends in
the Fifth ward would do their duty hewould
be elected by alhice majority over the ring
oandjdates.
The chairman called attention to the meet
Ing to be held At the same place on Monday
night. and invited all to be present with their
friends, and the meeting adjourned.

New York, July 10, 1883.

Another Democratic candidate
for the Presidency looms up in Ex-
Senator Wallace of Pennsylvania
"On what does he base his claim?"
one asked of leading Republican
of that State. ''I'm sure I don't
know, except on the ground that
he has rebuilt his fortune, which
was in pretty bad state when he
left the Senate and is now worth
about three millions. OF course if
thrift is an essential quality for a
candidate he may get the nomina-
tion, but I think Wallace is too
dead as a politician to make much
of a stir.
The successful working of the
Scott liquor law in Ohio is aiding
the Republican campaign in that
State considerably. The Democrats
on the contrary are making but
poor progress. There is too much
dissatisfaction among their ranks,
and too much personal ill.feeling
among the leaders. Yet they are
spending great deal of money in
that cause.
There are unfortunate dissen.
sions among Iowa Republicans
which may cost them the Supreme
Judgeship. Ex-Governor Kirk:
wood has openly announced that
he cannot support the nominee
because he thinks Judge Day should
have been nominated. AS Mr..
Kirkwood has a large following
and is a man of considerable char.
acter he. may just prove strong
enough to defeat his party.
Democratic leaders throughout
the country are gradually coming
to the conclusion that the tariff

chances for the Speakership may
be almost regarded as certainty.
