1t gives one faith in human prom
ises to see how persistently the
Register exerts itself i'll making and
improving opportunities of eSaltlnS

their watchfulness IKE the affairs OF
our State. and especially over the
Treasury during their term OF office,
and particularly for their efficient
management and services III behalf
Of the democratic party in this
State 1t the last general election
Territorial Enterprise.
We are glad that the Enterprise is
gratifeJ. We have no doubt but
that it will have frequent occasion
hereafter to warm itself by the same
genial fire. In return we take pleas
ure III assuring tEatpaper that it will
afford Us Il great deal of satisfaction
hereafter, as well as now, to com
mend the life and acts ofany man. be
ne Republican or Democrat, who
Las been tried, and found able and
honest in the performance Of his
private or Official duties. Since the
Enterprise has chosen to select tie
two gentlemen it has named for IL
Illustrations We Will add here that We
believe Gov. BIasdeI-ardent a Re
publican IS he was and is-was 4 far
better man than the majority OF the
clique which ruled, OF attempted to
rule, the party with which lie was
associated that his administration,
as far As he could control it. was AMI
mated by pure impulses, and guided
by good judgment and that when
the auimUsities Of the LoursLall have
given way to the calm, unbiased con
siJeration Of the future historian OF
the periodin which Gov. Blasdel was
a central figure, he Will be credited,
on the whole, with a capable and
honest administration.
OF ex-Attorney General Clarke We
will SAY, for the edifcation of the En-
terprise, that it would be far more
3reditableforthe Republican partyo +
Nevada, if it possessed a few more
men Of his ability, or a few more
men as true or as devoted to the real
interests Of the community in which
he lives. We are we'll aware that
there is but little demand for either
ability OF integrity il the corrupt
ranks Of the subsidized timeservers
whom the Enterprise represents, and
are therefore not surprised that it
should go ont Of the wa to defame
by inuendo the most honored and
trustworthy Of its own party. It
Dut serves its masters the best it
knows how. If that is but little, 50
much the worse for them.
As fer ourselves we choose to
recognize talent in person, or capa-
biIity in administration, wherever
we find it, under whatever partizan
names it may Recovered, be it Demo-
cratic or Republican. We had &C.
o4sion to sharply criticise many of
the official acts OF both Governor
IIasleI and General Clarke while
they yer occupying the Offices to
which they were eIectedby the party
which the Enterprise represents.
We, very likely, shall have occasion
frequently hereafter 10 DO the same
thing; butnelthar the memory Of the
past. nor the prospective Of the fu-

If the Enterprise can make any eapi-

time IN doing it. As it lis all in the
