STILL Ar VARIESCk WITH
j, HlWRELF.
Il seems to be tho fate Of the ed
itor Of the Enterprise to ever be At
varience with himself. Having %
many plain facts at our disposal 1t
il not At al necessary for ss to re-
sort in the slightest degree to abuse
Of our opponent. AZ long as he
throws the mud We shall present
the facts.
Itis the facts that tell. In Wed
nesday's Enterprise its editor thus
explains Why the Constitutional
plank appeared in the Republican
platform.
It was not until the next morn
ing after the Committee had re-
ported the platform TO the Conven-
tor that Mr.. Foley. Of Eureka,
rose and submitted the Constitu.
tional Convention resolution. and
moved the adoption as part OF the
platform.
No one objected and they were
incorporated in the platform, which
was adopted without word OF ap-
proval, explanation or dissent so
impatient we're the delegates to set
tie down to more exciting an inter
esting work.
Now in the Enterprise report OF
the Convention printed September
9Th, 1881, written BY ito present
editor, find the following:
Mr.. Wells. Of Esmeralia warmly
endorsed the resolution FOLEY 81
something Of the kind would have
to b.. done sooner or later. to en-
able W to steer clear Of bankruptcy
which 10 now staring Us IN the
face.
After reporting the debate in
which Wells remarks are given
greater prominence than anybodys
the report written, bear in mind
by the present editor Of the Enter
prise) closes as follows:
Mr.. Foley's additional amend
ments were adopted BY . dec'ssc:
vote.
In the same issue Of the paper
the editor, editorially remarks, Of
the platform:
1T goes straight to the living
questions Of the day. 1t
brcathes the spirit Of patriotism
and chants the music Of progress,
land the APPEAL still plays second
fiddle to this music. Ed. APPEAL,
in every line. It is trumpet cal
to victory. - This plat
form (the one containg the Conssi'
tutional plank. Ed. APPEAL.) offers
til best and most solid footing fo'
those who have to take a stand
upon i. during the campaign.
t'There is neither doubt nor equiv
ccation in any i.taa.I', and its prin'
oiples are as pure as the gold and
silver which comes from ou'
mines"
When the editor Of the Enter
prise had no reason for stating any
thing but the facts he reported the
debate on the plank and ther
warmly endorsed it in an editorla
in the same issue, but two years
later, in its attempt to bolster up
weak argument it conveys the ide;
to the reader that the plank wa!
slid upon the platform as a sort o
roundabout way, and the whole
thing was bundled through with
out Opposition, explanation or dis
sent"
Now in the face of these fact!
We will not say Of the Enterprise
as it has of us, that it lied, through
either Ignorance, clownishness
stupidity or avarice," but raths
seek to cast the veil of charity ove1
the matter, and contend that thu
ludi;rous position Of the Enter
prise upon the question is merel,
the result of bad memory, or 'acl
Of facilities to keep posted upor
the political issues.
The issue that the campaign Of
1882 is not the compaign Of 1884
il not tenable in this discussion
for the mac inery O. Legis ure:
is such that a proposition to
change the organic aw through
the medium of a Constitutions
Convention could not have beer
disposed Of in q single campaign
The present Constitution allows
