not v 50 for party to discuss Its differences
in psaic. We said that. "No party can afford
70 Lave the merits Of its candidates publicly
discussed, compared and analysed as they in
evisably would be, whenever the names of II
val Gspirants are thrust upon the surface of q
political canvass in the manner suggested by
the Enterprise" The amiable author of the
strange language to come from q newspaper
whose editor 1.-THE editor of the MORNING AP-
pEAL], has "ceaselesslY opposed the Admins
tration of President Hayes because of its pol
icy of Cancellation" While we cannot under
staad this reference at this time unless it be
made with a view to invite the issue to which
itself is related, and to discussion of which
va y4inly invited the Enterprise some months
ago, we are also at loss to understand what
relevancy Hayesism or other humbuggeries
have 20 do with this matter. Hayes is not a
candidate; but his every distinctive act inn
pugning Radlcalism and humiliating the party
which elected him, has invited criticism.
Darby may with propriety talk reproyingly to
Joan, over the bread-pan; and Deborah may
read jonathan curtain lecture under the
countirpane; but these had better discuss
thar little disagreemeAts in private rather
than III public. John Smith and Aaron Jones
mag have hot dispute within the privacy of
Smiths library: but they will not come to
blows unless some one is by to listen and wit

ING ArrEAL We do not shrink from any
cnntr"vprsy or debate upon any OF the ques
tioas which, by any manner of procedure,
tan h2 made to seem related to the prelimin |
AIRY action of the party, booking to the selec
tion o. candidates upon the Republican State
ticket. All We have done is to advise the pur- |
suancr Of the most conservative courses. The |
Enrcir",se propounded plan, also it invited |
a discussion of that plan. Our opinion has
beer flied 1t is most decidedly against that
plan Here, it were we'll, it seems to US, (so
ftr ~ ourselves are concerned, the discussion
had better be confined. A candidacy or a
possible candidacy, as the case may be, is sup

same time q somewhat delicate, thing. But
Office seeking is, or should be incidental.
Professional duties and responsibilities, to
,ay nothing OF the pride OF opinion, are con-
,tant, imperative and supreme. We do not
propose to sink the editor in the inglOri0us
silence Of the Office seeker. Parties get along
nora smoothly at such times as this by their
members and spokesman agreeing, tacitly or
otherwise, to hold their differences in abey-

wiser certainly it is more wary-to maintain
