The Wilmington correspondent % the Baltimore
Ameyican, (Rspublican, In recent letter to that
psper on the "Political Outlook in Delaware"
gossps a. follows, In relation to the approaching
State campaign and the probable nominees. The
winter OF this letter. We know, occupies position
which enables him to know whereof he speaks
and his reference, therefore, to DR.. Jumps waning
chances for the Gubernatorial nomination, on the
Republican side will be read with interest M
In the Republican party there is not that uoan-
unity OF sentiment touching the gubernatorial nc
mination which might be wished. A few weeks
ago 1t was conceded, almost universally, thai ~
Isaac Jump, OF Dover, would Ia tao 'tee OF the
convention, and Republican = ~, -! ere sell
ting down into an apparent satisfaction with the
nomination. Recently, however, notable change
il manifest, and the nomination OF Mr. Jump Ia
not any longer regarded as foregonc conclusion.
Statcians and those whose minds are well stored
with the political events of the past have been
looking backward among the musty records OF
former years, and they have revealed the fact that
a Chief Executive Of the State has not been taken
from New Castle county tor the past thirty odd
years. and naturally this revelation has excited no
little surprise aud comment. h- 81. e
Another circumstance which has had some indu-
ence In the direction of public thought i'll this
nomination is, that II DIR. Jump should be made
the candidate Of the Republican party, both the
Governor and Congressmen should they be elect
ed, will come from the section of the State,
since they reside within few miles OF each other
Mr.. Lohaud is sure OF a renomioation for Con-
gress 1t would be contrary 10 political custom II
he should not be. Every one seems disposed 10
yield him this right but, while doing SO, they are
not willing that Kent county shall monopolizc
both offices, especially since New Castle has been
SO long without u Governor, and her interests
are 80 vast in State concerns.
The reaction from DIR. Jump is favorable 10 the
chances Of Lewis Thompson, OF Mill Greek Hdr
and whose influence was SO potently felt in the
last Legislature. Perhaps it may not be amiss tt
state that the two men represent The two divisions
| of the party, otherwise known as the I" Fisher
and "anti-Fisher rings. The State Contra
Committee is organized in the interest OF DIR
Jump, and any advantage which might accrue from
this source will be cast in his favor. The canvass
OF the two rings is waxing warmer all the while
| but it is hoped that each will harmonize on th
| choice OF the convention whatever that may be.
