finite number of terms Therefore
as soon as the Democrats obtained
control of the State it was laid down
as a maxim that no governor must
expect two terms in succession. I
Yes, we think Gov. Bloxham's adj
has been wise and CON
sentative, and we honestly believe
that his record has added much to
the reputation of the Democratic
party in Florida. Our Republican
friend thinks the Disston land sale
was an alienation of the public do
main from the poor man. He should
remember that in a short time these
same lands would have been sold
under the hammer, and even if as
much had been realized, no poor
man could have bought such an i'm
mense tract in bulk. For years the
State had been offering the public
domain for sale in small tracts, and
the annual proceeds failed to pay
interest on the debt. The DisstOn
company bought the land which
Florida was obliged to sell, and inn
mediately began the work of inter
nal improvement on a gigantic scale
To ensure the settlement of the
West, the Republican administra-
ton gave millions upon millions of
acres to railroads. This too without
necessity; as the government was
not obliged to sell, IT GAVE the land.
Besides the Disston company is sell
ing the lands at exactly the prices
previously asked by the State. Is
this robbing the poor man Is cap
ital an unmlxed evil in a new State?
We see the same purse of which our
correspondent complains opening
mines of wealth in the overlooked
lands OF the OkeechoDee sWamps
now ready for the plough. The
State must sell; was 1t wrong 70
take Disston's money?
Gov. Drew was not "unceremon'-
ouSly superseded The argument
we have given, caused his trends to
Withdraw his name, but they are
anXIousiy urging his denomination
for the coming campaign, and his
followers are powerful III our ranks.
His nomination IS one OF the pro
liabilities before the Pensacola con
Yenhon, and we shall not despair OF

Injunction Dissolved.

A telegram received from Bozeman
this morning brings the gratifying in
telligence that in the case of Llyings.
ton VS.. Bonghton & Harper the in
junction, restraining defendants from
prosecuting work st their brickyard,
was dissolved hy order of the court.
The ENTERPRISE has expressed its
opinion regarding the injunction, AMI
it is almost unnecessary to say chat
we feel pleased that it has been raised.
This leaves the question of title as
between the two parties to be fought
to an issue in the courts and allows
the work Of BRICK making to be pros
ecuted in the yard. The enforcement
Of this injunction during nearly u
month past has been great damage
to Boughton & Harper. and has been
no small detriment to the town, but
now work will be forwarded with all
possible haste. Expression of opin-
ion regarding the suit has involved
the ENTERPRISE in an incidental con-
troversy with the plaintiff, but now
that legal proceedings have resulted
as we desired, we feel sufficiently
magnanimons to state frankly that if
we have said anything that we deeply
regret, we are very sorry for it. -

STA TIE CONVENTION.

AS time elapses the wisdom of
holding separate conventions for the
selection of delegates to Chicago
and nominating Presidential elect
ors; and for the nomination of can
didates for state officers, becomes
more apparent. Undoubtedly the
committees action is acceptable to
large majority of the party. The
propriety of selecting a new central
committee by the first convention
none rise to question; by this action
the party organization will be per
fected, and active work begun i'm
mediately after the nomination of
the Presidential ticket in June.
Another important action by the
state central committee is the call
for consideration by the convention
of proposition to change the basis
of representation in future republi-
can conventions. This proposition
is TO allow counties representation
in proportion to the number of re-
publican votes cast at the last pre-
ceding general election, instead of
two delegates Tor each senatorial
and assembly district, as at present.
The proposed plan is in operation
and works satisfactorily in several
states If adopted here it will in
crease the number of delegates to
future state conventions from 2G6
to 800. Much of the increase will
he from the sparsely settled counties
of the northern part of the state,
as the proposition provides that
each county shall he entitled to at
least one delegate. At present sew
eral of the counties forming an as
sembly district, they cannot have
each a delegate.
The proposed change would not
affect any county Of this congress
sional district except Grant, which
would be entitled to nine represen
tatives instead Of eight, as now.
Under the proposed system, the
basis being one delegate for every
500 republican voters, or major
fraction of 500, with a proviso that
each county shall have one delegate
The several counties would have

The counties to which no republi-
can votes are annexed are those ere
ated by the Legislature since the last
presidential election
No doubt the republicans Of the
state will thoroughly discuss the
matter in their primaries, and that
their delegates at Madison on April
3oth, will be fully prepared to vote
upon it.
While the state central committee
recommends that district delegates
to Chicago be elected by sub-diyis
ions Of the state central convention;
it is at the option of each district to
adopt 4 different method, provided
it be within the fifteen days next
preceding the meeting Of the state
convention, as suggested in the cal
of the national committee. The
recognized committee for the I'D

If the weather permits the work
OF rebuilding the south extension of

first. Most of the plastering and
much of the wood work in the north
extension is done. 1t is expected to
be ready for occupancy by June.
But little is heard as TO prefer
ences for presidential candidates. Il
is the prevailing opinion here thai
the republican delegation from the
state will be primarily for Fairchild
but on second choice there appears
to be great diversity of sentiment
If the name of Gen. W. II. Sherman
comes before the convention it will
