THE SHOPPING F1oppER AGAIN.

AkShAh haNO W. SNSS
and Imposed upon. Mr.. Daggett, the
former sensible and talented editor Of
the Enterprise, was evidently once
more in the editorial chair last week,
consequently the editorial tone Of the
paper was moro elevated, sound and
sensible during that short period. We
appreciatively rejoiced, for the De-
mocracy were correspondingly des-
pondent, and the friends Of Jones be-
gan to have better hopes Of the future.
But 10! here this morning theC c. o. G.
reappears. The chief organ grinder
was vicious, and as usual, when he I'M
dertakes to help out his conjugal part
ner, Jones, he stopped over and over
did the thing. He used to do just that
way when he was in the Sharon inter-
est, until Sharon In self-defense bought
him off-or sold him out, which
amounts to the same thing. Ever
since the C. o. G.. married Jones, no
has been unable to see anything but
Jones. therefore could perceive no
possibility Of a Republican I.cglsla-
ture cver voting for anybody but
Jones for United States Senator. Jones
Is not the only Republican can
didate, aud Jones Is not absolutely
sure of election. We make this state
ment as n matter Of information to the
C. o. G.-,he chief organ grinder. AS
to his little joke about u "scanty
mess Of weak and muddy brains,"
were we mean enough to retort In
kind or to follow what Is said In the
Bible about answering a fool accord
Ing to his folly" we should express
our regret that it was not the veal sea-
son that we might buy and send him
an improved set Of brains, with "head
and pluck" Accomplishments; but no,
our Inherent magnaniInity still impels
US to treat him as an equal.
The rampant C. o. G.. takes excep-
tious to sundry speculative questions
which we advanced In yesterdays
News, relative to Jones' future course,
and calls us "impudent." The
course of all political aspirants Is
the legitimate property Of the party
they propose to be elected BY, and we
represent the majority Of the Republi-
can party, when we demand that Mr..
Jones come out before the party. as his
peers have already done, and define his
position and intentions, and We are
gratiied to perceive that In accordance
with that demand, Nj. Jones announ-
ccs his Intention to respond next Sat-
urday evening. 1t is high time that he
did so. As a square, sensible man,and
talented speaker, he must know that
something besides wire-pulling Is re-
quired of him. The time IS short, and
he must speak, aud not let the Demo-
cratic party, taking advantage Of his
silence, have things all their own way.
We simply call upon him to do his
part, or withdraw from the contest.
That's what's the matter.
As to the abuse the Enterprise sees
tit to beStow in the same article upon
our able Republican ally, the Carson
.tppeaL. We say nothing; the Appeal is
fully able to take care Of itself; but
this we will say aud openly declare,
that the Enterprise has done and still
is doing more harm to the Republican
party and more square benefit to the
Democracy during the present CAM
paicn than the COMPOUNDED concern Is
worth. Let the G. o. G. continue in
the editorial chair three weeks longer,
and he will Insure the election o. the ell
tire Democratic ticket in Storey county
and the defeat Of Jones. Did It ever
occur to Jones that the G. o. G. Is
really in the pay of the Democratic
party, and does he consider it a signif-
icant circumstance that of late the
Enterprise has been deliberately coll
sidering the possibilities Of his defeat =?
Jones should bear we'll In mind Its
former obsequious fealty to Sharon, Its
sudden "lop," and the boiling pro-
clivities so boldly declared BY its ed
itor and proprietor In a Republican
convention two years ago.
As to the concluding threats con-
tained In the Enterprise article OF this
morning, We merely snap our royal
fingers In defiance, and dare It to the
execution. 1t can subSidize US with
no promise Of reward nor frighteu us
with threats Of ostraclsm or retalla-
ton /; you just try it on If you dare,
you or your friends, and depend upon
it. you will never see or hear the last
of it. The worst be vours.
