fill our public places. IF the movement
is to be turned to the personal uses OF
any man or set of men, then | say let
there be no future movements. But it is
in the power of the workingmen to so
conduct their political movements that
nothing but what is good will come out
of them, and it is to be hoped that they
will take the interest necessary to keep
them pure, ,undefiled by traitors, and able
to accomplish the great good of which it
is capable.
One year from this fall an election OF
members of the state legislature occurs,
and there are new laws and reyisions OF
old ones required by the working classes.
To obtain this legislation, Legislators
whom we can trust must be elected. To
secure the election of such men we must
present a solid front in opposition to the
scheming politician. To do this we will
have to perfect our organization 50 auspi'
ciously begun last spring. @ q

One gret drawback heretofore to the
circuIationuf The ENQUIRER has been
failure OF the part of the publisher to
secure a god solicitor. Several men
have beentried, but after a few days
they have troved failures There will
be no futile trouble or annoyance on
that head ! In the person of Mr.. Dudley
Ashton thee has been secured an agent

perience il the newspaper business, has

1t will be we'll for the public to I'm,
derstand that postal telegraphy, as ad-
vocated by those who desire to see an
end put to the telegraph monopoly, does
not mean the service of the Postal Tele-
graph company now completing its sys-
tenn. The Postal Telegraph company is
a concern controlling patent claimed
to be of extraordinary value for swift
service, by which whole letters may be
sent over the wires at the cost of ordi-
nary ten word dispatches 1t is wholly
a private concern and has nothing to do
with the postal service of the govern
ment. 10 A
Postal telegraphy in its true sense
means the control of the telegraph ser
vice by the goveroment as branch of
the postefice department. In England

THERE seems to be trouble brewing in
the ranks of the office seekers. It,ap-
pears that John Daley, present county
treasurer. upon receiving the nomination
of his party two years ago promised
that, as this term would complete his
sixth year In the Office, be would in 1883
stand aside and give Frank Church a
show. Frank had a great deal OF
strength in the convention of 1881, and
to throw it to Daley the promise was
made. 1t now appears that Mr.. Daley
is not disposed to give up the fat Office,
which he. is beginning to consider his
private property, and he now positively
denies that he eyermade such a promise.
And SO there is trouble in the republican
camp. This is really too bad. These
men should understand things better,
and not give it away to the public that
they are in the habit of disposing of
the Offices according to their own sweet
will. The people may be awakened this
fall, if these eruptions continue, and
presume to assert that they have little
something to say concerning who shall
be the county officers and who shall not.

It into their heads that men shall be

As the.tlme Tor the county pIihai p
draws near, the saiiaaaargs for ~: |
rious offices begin to "bob up Sc
reneIy." There are not more than half
of those who will be candidates publicly
known as yet. As isusual, in this alti-
tude, the democrats are slow in coming
to the front; buttbat they will fail to
come to the scratch with a man for
every office is hardly presumable.
The contest thisfall will be particularly
warm and interesting. The people have
found out since the last election what
nice, fat positions Arapahoe county Of
fees are, and there will probably be can
didates whose only recommendation will
DE that knowledge. Fabulous figures
are placed as the opportunities of two
orthree of the offices, and it almost
