Show During the past aix weeks Denver haB been much agitated over a very violent dose of the Murphy "movement," "move-ment," but it baa not aeemed to purge the town ot much, if any, of its i licensed wickedness. Despite the ob jurgations of the earnest disciples of temperance, and the facts and figureB brought to bear by Dr. ElliB, (Denver's favorite divine), the number of those who don the "blue ribbon" has not seemed to increase in the paat week or so. The number of signers has reached, it is claimed, about 4,000,but many of these are little children, whose conversion to teetotaliam is looked upon by the an-I an-I regenerated as a needless mockery. The city has aho been exercised in unnu over mw quetiLiuu ui uuju suflrage. Lucy Stone and a number ol lesser brilliancy and age have been encouraging their Bisters in an effort to escape from thraldom through the coveted mediumsbip of the ballot box. .Their zeal and intelligence intelli-gence entitle tbem to respect, but there are many, even in Colorado, who cannot go all the sophistry to be found in the pet arguments of the strong-minded. |
