The Labor enquirer., 1884-11-08
To the Tribune-RepubIican

In the News issue of Sunday there ap-
peared an article headed Bogus Coal
Miners" in reference'to which we desire
to offer through the Tribune Re publican
firm contradiction, in the name and
and on behalf of the coal miners con
vention, at present assembled in this
city. The whole statement comes from
political opponents of ]. R. Buchanan
and from the debauched brains of one
Charles Ross, whose conduct since he
has been in the city has not been cred
liable to himself or the association he
represents. His own colleagues, have
repudiated all connections with HIM,
from the fact that they are satisfied that
the two gentlemen referred to as being
frauds" ETC., are by no means guilty of
the conduct and charges laid down to
them.
We desire to assert and stand ready
to prove at any time tointerested parties
that the whole statement is fabrication
of falsehood and malicious onslaught
upon men who have worked hard and
honestly in the cause Of labor at much
inconvenience and great personal sacri-
fee. AS far as the article in question
alludes to Mr.. J. R. Buchanan, we have
this and volumes in addition to say:
Mr.. Buchanan is tlied and trusted
member of the organization to which
the miners are attached, His reputation
for ability, honesty and devotedness to
the cause of labor is not confined to Col
orado, but is national, as the important
trusts confded to his care and judgment
are of a national character. The organ
lied men Of this state and others can tes-
tify to his zeal in the cause of oppressed
iaborers-a zeal which has had no regard
for personal inconvenience or cost-and
has refused to be rewarded in any man
ner other than the quiet approval and
friendly hand-grasp of his brothers.
Instead Of miners falling in" with
]. K. Buchanan, they have gone as in
structed by the unanimous voice of their
constituency to him for counsel and as
sistance realizing his ability, acknowledg
ing the confidence placedin him by the
advanced laboring elements of the United
States, aud are proud to testify to his
honesty by showing their willingness to.
heed his advice. We,are satisfied that
this cowardly attack is made upon our
brother and champion for political rea-
sons, and while we may not agree with
him upon all political iauestions and
while we allow everyone fthe Fight to
shape his own course in politics. yet We
are confident that Mr.. Buchanan is thor
oughly honest in his political convictions
and conduct, and is conscientiously advo-
catinsa policy which he believes will re-
dound to the benefit of the working peo
pie, to whose cause We have satisfactory
evidence he has devoted his life. And
while the article in the News says that
Buchanan has done great deal of work
with his jaws and his lungs and his lips
to escape working with his hands, we
positively know and can prove to any
doubling ones that he has done as much
hard work with his hands and brains
during the past five years as any man in

NEW YORK, Sept. Gan advance in Della

Union Pacific to 81 x was sufficient to hold the
balance OF the list steady for a time, and the
market showed but little weakness until the
afternoon hours, when the buyers made severe
raid on the Changers and Northern Pacific pre-
ferred, Even the cliQue's stocks gave way on
these attacks and at . O'Clock the whole line was
weak. with considerable excitement. Pullman
was about the only firm feature. 1t sold at IL.
The Erie securities were very frail. particularly
the second mortgage bonds. There was a sale
of Michigan Central at So, the first transaction
in several days. Free selling characterized the
dealings in the closing hour. North Western
declined TO ssH and st. Paul touched 79s.
There was heavy trading in them and In Union
Pacific and Delaware Il Lackawanna. The rest
were neglected. Stocks reached about the
lowestdgures OF the day few moments before
the exchange closed The bears appeared to
have everything their own way and held full
sway right up TO the finish The declines in
North Western and ST. Paul seem to have been
assisted by rumors that the earnings
continue anything but favorable and that 10 i'm

movement of it. Reports OF financial institutions
being in trouble were aloat also, but were not
verified.
Reviewing the market A. N. Day saws: There
IS no doubt but that the large holders Of stock
who manipulate the market on the long side are
doing their best TO advance prices so that they
can get rid Of their load and have tried 10 create
sufficient short interest to enable them to squeeze
certain stocks. so FAR the bears have been too
wary to be caught. The public do not buy, first
because the revelations OF the last
six months have destroyed confidence
and, secondly, because, in spite OF large crops,
the outlook for sc export demand or the carry
ing BY the roSds at paying rates, of what has
been raised Is not encouraging. Foreign
markets for American securities no longer ex-

COULDN'T BUY HIM.
A Prohibitionist Editor Gives Away q
Republican Attempt to FIX"
His Paper.
Special Telegram to the Globe. I

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. 22.-Shield, the edi-
tor of the Nonitor-JouradI, the prohibition organ
Of the state, charges publicly that an attempt
was made to bride him by the Republicans soon
after the Republican State convention, and that
he was offered $4,000, $4,000 to be paid by the
central committee, $500 by r. Shield, Republican
candidate for state treasurer, and Maj. Calkins
Republican candidate for governor, for the in
iuehce of his paper during the campaign He
says he was first approached by Rhody Shield,
who told him that Hansen Reynolds had been
secured" and that the Republican party wanted
the Monitor.J0urRGl to aid in preventing the
nomination Of Prohibition ticket. Afterward
he on. Z. SHELBY met Rhody and A. c. Harris,
Calkins' law partner, by appointment in the lat
ter's office, and they endeavored to induce
him to write card to the Journal and the Times,
saying that call true prohibitionists would be
admitted to the nominating convention Harris
suggested that he put a proposition in writing
and allow 1t to be submitted to the committee.
But Shield declined and went away 81 wanted
to draw them ont for all there was in Them he
says, land learn what kind of corruptionists
they were, and feeling I had gone far enough /
told him so.
Before filing the appointment at Harrison's
office, Shield claims TO have informed Col. Ritter
and John c. Woodland about the maneuvering
that was going on. He gives the details
of the negotiations, and asserts that Candidate
Shield told him: "a presidential campaign
comes but once in four years and you
might just as well make something out of it,
Candidate Shield would not talk much to-day
BE did remark, however, that his namesake
came to see him, and let him understand that
the MoRit0r-Journai could be purchased for
$4,000; that afterward he told him he owed Jim
Bice $500, and was anxious to fix that .'before
he did anything that he was
tired of the newspaper business
there was nothing in it-and he would
not mind retiring at the end OF the year il he
could do so; that he wrote cards to
the Journal and Times, but afterward DESTROYED
them, and that ne paved the way to supporting
Calkins by denying that he was drinking man.
He limited at great deal more and talked as
though he might make it very unpleasant for
the temperance cause.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-The claim that the
Republicans will carry West Virginia is regarded
by the thoughtful and dispassionate politician as
ridiculous. Still the election statistics OF the
state show some queer changes Since its or
ganization West Virginia has cast her electoral
vote three times for the Republican presidential
candidate and twice for the Democratic. In 1864
Lincoln carried the state by AHA majority; in
1868 Grant had $3.50 majority over Seymour, in
1872 Grant had plurality OF 2,665, with 6, 900
votes for O'Conor. In 1876 Tilden's plurality
over Hayes was 1877, with 1873
votes for Cooper. In 1880 Hancock 8
plurality over Garfield WAS 11,14s, with 9,O79
votes for Weaver, (Greenbacker) making Hen
bricks majority over all 1909. In the state
election in 1882, snyder, Democratic candidate
for supreme judge, had majority over Gutherie,
Republican and Greenback candidate, of 3,211.
In the congressional election of 1882, the aggre-
gate plurality of the Democratic nominees for
congress over the Republicans was 1895, with a
Greenback vote of 5000, leaving the Democratic
nominee in a minority of ,O67 under the COM
bined Republican and Greenback vote This is
a great falling off from the congressional vote of
1878, when the Democrats had plurality Of IA
070 and majority over all of 1852
