HELP THE CAUSE,

AS the Peoples party and its list Of
candidates are composed principally oi
men of small financial means, and as ii
is necessary to have some money to
make proper campaign in this state, |
urgently call upon every sympathizer
of the cause who can afford it to send a
donation of 81, or more, to Mr.%J. R.
Buchanan, editor of THE ENQUIRER ,&nd
chairman of the state central comnittee,
at S6S Larimer street, Denver.
This may not be the custom of polit-
cal parties, but as we have repudiatsd
them and all their unwholesome
methods, and as this plsn is thoroughly
honest and upright, i hope those who
feel an interest in the struggle now going
on between: the, people and their de-
spoilers will respond promptly to this
call. -

MA Il NO MISTAKE.

The readers of THE ENQUIRER and the
public generally are familiar with the
fact that there was some trouble at the
opening of the county convention of the
Peoples party, in Lincoln hall, on Tues
day evening but, owing to determina-
ton of the daily press Of this city to
misrepresent everything in connection
with the Peoples movement, there may
be some who do not know the true his
tory of the affair. Reporters from each
of the morning papers were present
during the entire session of the conven-
ton, and, had those papsrs desired to be
lust and honest with their readers, their
reports would have been just the oppo-
site of what they we're on Wednesday
morning.
About two months age the independ-
ent voters of this city began to take steps
towards organizing clubs in the various
wards, to be known as. Butler clubs, The
lists were opened and the names were
rapidly enrolled, and soon there was a
combined mershit in this city of up
wards of 1000. The example set by
Denver was followed all over the state,
and a state convention was called, on
"Wednesday, September IL. This state
convention vas held, nearly every county
in the state being represented, and full
ticket for state officers, presidential cleo
tors and congress vas nominated.
Organization continued with a wonder
fal rapidity, land, thank God, it hastaken
new force during the past two days. and
the sharks and whippers-in of the old
parties began to tremble in their shoes.
These creatures who are boils on our po-
litical system, and a disgrace to Ameri-
can civilization, began TO spread their
snares to entrap the honest men who
had declared themselves disguised with
the ringstering thieves. They attempted
to purchase the prominent men in the
movement q can prove thisl, and failing
there, they began TO purchase and organ

About sixty million copies of THE SUN

If every buyer of copy of THE SUN dur

THE sun is, and will continue to be, a

A O0LORED REPUBLICAN EDITOR
ON THE NEW SITUATION.

From the Huntsville (Ala.) Gazette, Re-
publican Organ of the Colored voters of
that Stated
There can be no more slavery in this
country. The majority of southern
people themselves, we believe, would
not sustain it by a vote. Slavery is a
relic ofthe past. The further we adj
vance from it the deeper it is buried by
the strides of progress, Christianity
and e%nlightment the world of to-day is
making.
Let us all consider it buried and
turn our attention to the new duties
and trusts of the new state of affairs.
Presidents may come and 20, parties
continue to be up and down, but life
and its duties remain with us, and each
individual is president in his little cir
Gle. You will find sunshine and
shadow. smiles and frowns in your
path, whoever is president. Follow
the path of duty, live honestly and
economically and the reward that
comes to all good citizens will come to
the black man, ven if a democrat sits
in the presidential chair.
1t argues well for the democratic
party and the southern people that
they openly assure the world that they
repel the idea of wanting slavery or
of abridgmg the colored mans civil
rights. 1t shows progression. Let
that party deserve the good will of the
negro both by its profession and it's
deeds. This done, our country, espec-
tally the south, will be a great and fit
ting example of the power of Chris
tan civilization in cementing friend
ship Of mankind and securing peace
and great prosperity to a country and
its Christian inhabitants,

SOME FEW THINGS FOR SOME GER
TAIN GENTLEMEN TO CONSIDER.

From the Saline County Dsmocrat.I
One startling fact developed by the
late election in this state is the unpre-
cedented growth of the prohibition
idea, or rather the sentiment in favor
of submitting an amendment prohibit
ing the sale of intoxicating liquors.
In the late race for governor there
were three candidates in the field, and
two of them-Brooks and Ford-were
running OH platforms plainly and une-
%quivocaIly favoring the submission of a
prohibitory amendment, while their
opponent - Gen. Marmaduke - was
known to be opposed both to prohibi-
ter was not mentioned in the state
platform out of Difference to a large
number of democrats who, individu-
ally, favor submission.
D-~.l-. op1
Ford came out squarely in favor Of
submission, and every man who voted
for either of them voted in favor of
submitting a prohibitory amendment,
! and nearly one-half of the voters of the
state so voted.
Again, it is a we'll known fact that
there are many democrats who favor
prohibition, but who voted for Gener-
al Marmaduke because they had con-
tidence in the man and because he was
their party nominee.
When the considerable submission
vote which General Marmaduke re.
ceived is added to the real submission
idea becomes patent to. all.
Another fact taught by the election
returns is that the German voters of
the state are largely in favor of sub
mission.
This is shown conclusively from the
tact that the submission vote, as re-
corded for Ford and Brooks, was larg-
est i'll those localities where the Ger
man voters are most numerous, as for
instance in the counties of Cole, Gas
conade, Franklin and st. Charles and
the cities of st. Louis, Kansas City and
st. Joseph.
This revulsion of sentiment on the
part of the German voters is as start
ling as it was unexpected, and may
result in making submission a great
deal stronger in the coming general as
sembly than it was in the last.
The German vote is a large and in
fuential element in Missouri politics
and heretofore it has been solid against
prohibition. Hence it's sommersault
on this question will have the effect of
giving prohibition the biggest kind of
a boom.
1t is o than probable, too, that
this action of the Germans of Missouri
will have it's effect upon their brethren
throughout the country and nerve the
prohibitionists to renewed exertions in
Ohio and other states.
The sturdy, phlegmatic German and
the fiery, %fanatical puritan will make
a hard combination to defeat, and the
democracy may yet have its hands full
before the prohibition question is set
tied.

GEN. sHERMAN's POSITION.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. 90, 1884.
THE E,,,rop If TIE Posi- DISPATCH,

ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. 29, 3
To THE EDITOR of THE POsT-DIsPATCH:
Being "a lifelong republican, l am
naturally much panied at the position
our old General appears to be in, as,
indeed, are all his friends. The pa
pers report that in a public speech
made some time ago Gen. Sherman as
serted that he had see letters written
by Jefferson Davis showing that Davis
was a conspirator against American lib
critics; that his object was not merely
to establish another republic-to make
two republics instead of one, as IS
usually thought, but to make himself
dictator. Gen. Sherman said:
jeff Davis was a conspirator, whose
aim was to use the confederacy as a
fulcrum with which he could operate
against other sections of the country,
looking to a radical dictatorship. l
have seen letters that few others have
seen. / have seer a letter from Jeffer-
son Davis to 3 man whose name l can
not mention, because he is a United
| States senator. l know Davis writ
ing, and saw his signature, and in that
letter he said he would turn Lees army
against any state that might attempt to
secede from the southern confed-
eracy"
Jeff Davis publicly denounces that
as false, and boldly says:
"IfGen. Sherman has access to any
letters of mine which will sustain his
accusation let him produce them or
wear the brand OF a base slanderer.
Now, the way General Sherman
treats this is what makes his old friends
feel bad. He says:
81 do not propose to get into a fight
| with Jeff Davis" And then he quar-
rels with the newspapers for reporting
his speech. He says: "This whole
trouble has grown out of the newspa-
pers: no reporter should have been
present when l made that speech. l
consider the reporting of that speech as
| a breach Of HONOR
Now, this sort of talk is very injuri-
GUS to Gen. Sherman. 1t licenses his
enemies to sneer at him. "What," say
| they, s'are we to think of a nan who
will, in a public speech, SANDER anoth-
er man, and then quarrel with repor-
ters for publishing his speech?"
For these reasons the friends of Gen.
| Sherman urge him to come out at once
with the United States Senator's name
who has Jeff Davis letter. We want
that letter; we want that senator's
name. What right has that senator
to keep such a letter a secret? What
right has a rebel like Jeff Davis to such
extreme delicacy at this late hour of
the day? Some people think it was a
small matter that jeff Davis wanted to
split this country into two great re-
publics, buttoensiave,the southern states
and make himself their dictator,
will dethrone him at once and forever
from the affections of his followers in
the south. We want that letter SO bad
that it caused US much modification
and pain when General Sherman talked
as if he could not, Or would not stand
by his statement. Respectfully,
OID REPUBLICAN,.

THE SCHEME TO DEFEAT GEORGE
G.. VEST FOR THE SENATE
WILL MISERABLY FAIL.
from the Springfield Leader.

From the Springfield Leauer.l
The anti Bourbon, Greenback and
Radical elements are preparing for a
grand assault upon Senator Vest,
hoping by a fusion of forces to seat
a Straight out Republican or a sore
head democrat. AS might be ex-
pected, this scheme is a child of St.
Louis, the outgrowth of political
ringsters and treebooters. and like
all other dark moves originating
from that source, must be defeated
by the rural Democracy. The scheme
ers of St. Louis are known and the
ewes of the country Democracy are
upon them and not one successful
move will they be allowed to make
which does not accord with the
ideas and wishes of the party at
large.
George G. Vest has served our peo-
Pile long and successfully, he has de-
tended our people against the same
INSCRIPTIONS element that now
seeks his overthrow, and we feel
safe in asserting that the next gen
eral assembly, composed as it will be
of true and tried democrats, will see
that Senator Vest is his W success
or. Democratic legislators know
their duty and the wishes of their
constituents, therefore it is useless to
appeal to them as Democrats. We
only desire to keep before our read
ers the fact that the old clan who
some years ago grew fat while al
most b%ankrupting the state are en-
deavoring by stealth and the aid of sore
head democrats to push themselves
to the front.
Let us be watchfnl; let us show the
great leaders who have stood up for
The right and battled in u defense
that we are not %ungrateful. If there
is one single democratic Legislator
who will go to Jefferson City and
join hands with the fusion element
he deserves political death. Let us
stand by the principles of our party.
Let us stand by our tried and faith
full leaders. Let us elect Senator Vest
and show the so-called anti Bourbon
element that we have no sympathy
with halt breeds and that we are de-
termined to put only Democrats on
guard.
