THE TERRITORIAL ENTERPRISES
As RECONSTRUCTED.

The new management of the Enter
prise put the harness on very quietly.
There is a business notice and well set
Republican editorial, short and to the
point-enoush to make it known to the
public that she is on the even keel OF
Republicsnism again - only this-and
the paper glides hight along with Its
regular ..Psn and Scissors" Just as if
nothing had happened. We should have
liked to see hearty word or two over
Brother joe, but that's matter OF
taste merely. We rejoice to see the En-
'er,priS. on the main track once more. 1t

not negative-an exponent of established
principles. rather than the promoter Of

assertions of its neishbors that 1t Is to

organ of no one. 1t will recognize the

unity of the party can be best advanced
by permitting opposing candidates with

consistent with the landmarks of the OF
ganization.
This Is good. sound talk. 1t means
we hope and believe, that it will sustain
and be governed by party discipline, in
all events and under all circumstances
recognizing no enemies after the prima-
ries but the political opponents of the
Republican organization. and demand
ing support for the whole ticket as put
forth by the conventions of the party.
The political article referred to is pun
gent and pithy. We infer that the ru-
NOR which places Mr.. Dasgett at the
head of the editorial department of the
paper is well founded The following is
quite good enough to be from his always
pointed and effective pen:
