1.-THE workingmen are matter Of supreme
indifference TO Mr.. chafee. Times.

LET the workingmen of the county
vote as they may next Tuesday let the
result of the election be what it may,
the Tribune has certainly taken a posi-
ton towards the wageworkers of the
county from which it will take long
years to come down. The assaults made
by this subsidized, lying sheet upon the
honest and respectable workingmen of
Arapahoe county, have been of such a
contemplate and uncalled-for character
as to win the scorn of every upright citi-
zen. The course of the Tribune may
seem all right to its managers, but the
respectable workingmen would not give
countenance to such dastardly course
to elect ruler of the world or save the
soul of one of the damned creatures who
dictate the policy of the Tribune.
The Labor enquirer., 1883-11-03

THE Tribune says vote was taken on
sheriff, at the Knights of Labor ball
Wednesday evening, and that Graham
received twenty-five out of thirty-one
votes cast. This vote, if taken at all; was
taken in the 5bar-room, where Graham
and his pals put in the greater part OF
the evening. The two hundred voters
in the ball room showed a studied re-
spect for the ladies present. Messrs.
Shackelford and Wilson were received
with the greatest courtesy by both sexes
and in the jolly, good humor which per-
vaded the dancers all seemed to forget
that such thing as an election was on
the tapis.

GIVE Ir THE LIE.

{ So great has the Indignation against
Chafee's candidate grown in the past
week, that he and all his henchmen are
only on the defensive and all hope of
electing Graham on any personal or
party merit has been abandoned.
The Boss is now playing his trumps
with wild hand. He, and his repre-
sentatives have announced that the fight
from now until the polls close will be
one of money. Chaffee has more than
once said that he could buy all the votes
he wanted and by that means he felt
confident of winning the day. He has
weakened trife on the last point, and
doesn't feel 80 sure of being able to pur-
chase votes enough to elect his tool; bat
he still holds out that he can purchase
the votes of the workingmen.
Leave everything else out of the fight,
and / ask the workingmen of this county
if they intend to allow this SANDER to go
unrebuked? Why, if the laboring
classes of this citv were to take the man
who offers such an insult to their man
hood out and treat him to coat of tar
and feathers it would be far short of
what they owe him. Of course it would
not be advisable to do such thing, and
/ do not suggest it; but l do feel it a duty
to urge every wageworker in Arapahoe
county to cast his ballot on next Tuesday
in such way as to prove beyond all
chance for doubt that Boss Chaffee does
not know the honest toilers of this
county if he thinks they can be bought
as so many cattle.
f All elements of society, both in this
county and all over the state and, in
fact. all over the United States, will
eagerly seize the returns of this election
to see if it is really true that Boss Chat
fee can take up his residence in Denver
for few weeks prior to an election and
by the power of his money place in Office
any man whom he may see fit to name.
Fellow-workers, remember, it is not
the rich man, the merchant or the pro-
fessional man that Chaffee claims he can
buy. 1t is the wageworker, the man
who, in addition to being ground down
in the slough of detected poverty by the
money kings is looked upon by them as
only SO many slaves to be trafficked for
at the pleasure of their masters.
Will we submit to this because we have
been republicans? Would we submit to
it if it were a democratic move? Mol l
feel that our brave and brawny men will
trample party lines out of sight on next
Tuesday, and care only to give the lie to
the man who has boastingly claimed
them as chattels.

We want to have plain talk with the
workingmen of Denver. We want to
impress upon them the fact that the re-
suit of the coming election in Arapahoe
county depends largely upon them.
It is among the laboring classes that
Boss Chafee expects to find sufficient
number of men who will sell their votes
to him that he may by corruptioe over
come the will of the honest voters of the
county. If he shall succeed, the work
ingmen must blame the Yenal members
of their own class fors putting political
power into the hands of a man who from
instinct and association is foe to the
honesty and dignity of labor.
Without the purchased assistance Of
bad men Chaffee cannot carry his point
AS the laboring classes outnumber ten tc
one the other elements of society, it is a
plain proposition that Chafee must 60
to the workingmen for assistance. There.
fore we say that the laborers of Denver
will, ON Tuesday next, be put to test
which will prove. them to be either men
of honest convictions, honor and indie
pendence, or poor wretches who have nc
other aim than to drag out an existence
and whose vote is not representative
of their political principle, but a market.
able commodity.
Chafee sincerely believes that they
are poor .wretches. He boasts that he
can buy them whenever he may need
them He has clearly defined policy
regarding workingrhen and he never
swerves from it. He never appeals to
their manhood nor to their principle.
Whenever he speaks of them it is to in
suit them. He cares not what his or
gans, the Tribune and the Times, say OF
them. This has been demonstrated in
this campaign. The only commerce
Chaffee will have with the workingmen
is strictly commercial; he will buy his
vote. ~ ~ .-a.. p. .g.
We believe that the workingmen Of
Denver understand his attitude toward
them. We believe that they know they
will stultify themselves if they shall vote
for this man Graham. Believing that
they haye clear comprehension of the
merits of this fight, we think they will
be true to themselves. If Chaffee should
succeed, his success would be proof
that the workingmen are the miserable
vassals he believes them to be.
But he will not succeed. We do not
believe that the meekest man will rest
under stigma like this without making
an attempt to remove it. Were the
workingmen less independent than they
are, they would be fred to indignation
by the abuse and contempt this man
Chaffee and his newspapers have heaped
upon them.
We ask the incorruptible workingmen
to use their influence with their weaker
brothers, to show them their duty and
to make plain to them the despicable
creatures they will make of themselves
if they shall listen to the voice of Chat
fees corruption agents. As we have said,
the wage-workers of Denver will be put
to the test. Let them be united, and
prove that not only in individual cases,
but as a class, our workingmen are In
corruptible. Republican. M

WHEN TELEGRAPHY WAS NEW.

How the Emperor OF Austria Looked at
the Thing and Waltzed Away.
Soon after the patents were issued to
Morse, and their adoption and use se.-
tied as q certainty, scheme was got up
to send over persons to introduce the
system in Europe. Among the diplo-
matte corps representing the empire Of
Austria in Washington, young man
named L G. Fleischman was selected,
and an outfit of instruments, wires and
batteries prepared and given to him.
In due time Fleischman turned up in
court of Ferdinand l., Emperor Of
Austria, and arranged for time when
royalty would condescend to look at the
American invention. The day was set.
Dukes, Counts, and Barons were assem-
bled. The master Of ceremonies were
to give the word when the experiments
should begin. No signal was given,
and the telegraph man began to be un-
easy. They were waiting for the EN-
peror. At last stir was noticed. room
made, and to the surprise of the opera
tor there danced into the room q slight
figure clad in laee-ftting short gray
coat. His hair stood straight up. He
wore some kind of low slippers, and
with his hands behind his back skipped
into the room humming something like
fishers hornpipe, to which he was
stepping time. This was the Emperor
of Austria. AS he approached the
stand upon which the telegraph in
strument was placed, his iiotic looks
were revealed. He skipped up to the
table, bent over until his nose nearly
touched the instrument, said: @Ah,
very fine, very fine," and turning
quickly waltzcd out without giving
Fleischman time to say one word in.
reference to the matter.
The royal gathering looked at one
another with knowing glances, and
many of them seemed quite confused.
After this mockery Of power had left,
Prince Metternich, the soldier and
statesman, who was considered to he
the shrewdest politician in Europe from
the beginning Of the present century up
to the time of his death in 1848, ap-
preached the young electrician, In COM
pany with the Archduke John, and
asked many questions as to its utility
practice. The Archduke John was at
that time "inter-mistic ruler" OF Ger
many (that is, . referee in disputes be-
tween the different German States dur
ing period when there was no EN-
peror). The Archduke John cared very
little for the claims Of royalty. They
we're nothing to him, unless coupled
with deserving. He had married the
daughter of Postmaster in Tyrol, and
brought his mountain beauty home in
the face of the protests of all his royal
relations. This experience, as may we'll
be guessed, with man so self-willed,
rather increased his natural desire to
advance real merit, and Prince Meter
Mich and himself that evening assem-
bled the general staff of the Austrian
