the supercilious acting manager Of his

This Is the frat time the proprietors of
the D4nver fntsr-0csdR have beer On any
black list, aud on tllt occasions they are
pr 'ud of the disgrace; for ths. ''bIsck
list" was issued because the D.nyer L-
tsrOeeaH and the Denver Republican
kept Fl. A. ". Tabor our of the SIX years
term in the United States Senate. We
are proud to know that we won tbal 6ght.
We have not changed our opinion on
that subject. Tabor's election 10 the
Senate, even for the short term OF thirty
days, was foul and lssnng disgrace 10
Colorado. Every man who worked or
voted for him worked or voted Colorado
into the odium of bonanza politics Ev-
cry vote cast for him burned into tine
brow OF Colorado the brand which has
made Nevada by-1ord and q reproach
among honest men.
Every vote cas-. Jog II. i. ". Tabor
for the United States Senate was an
atrocious idolatry OF the almighty dollar
oil pagan age.
We have said so, and We say so again,
and q million "black lists" will not make
US abste one jOt ftom our deRunciation of
the accursed blackness Of that election.
Mr.. Tabor, We have heard, accuses the
Denver Inter. Ocean of having kept lis
neG wife cut OF society. We would be
proud, too, of that distinction, but We
cannot claim it, We have never said one
word against the woman. Ii she wss ia
booed in society 1t WAS the eternal fitness
Of things that caused it, not We. We
war on men, not women, and We pick men
too, Of our size or above our size. We do
not undertake by means Of money, to
ruin ,hoae who are struggling. We have
no paid henchman to help us in our war-
fare. We do not threaten TO drive any
one "to the wall. We do rot travel
the streets with bodyguard.
Personally, We still regard MIR. Tabor
as a man who deserves praise for his Ell
,erprise, and who deserves the thanks OF
Dlnver for the WEy hs has beautified the
city. We wish him every fortune that,
he may make. We wish him good health
and long life. We hope that the motto
Of the Tabor block, Dies Faus.us,
may stand IN renewed halo over every
dawn that breaks and over every evening
# his career.
