The first State election plcccunng the
Presidents election in November will
be in Rhode Island and that will take
place on the first "Wednesday in April,
when a Governor and other State Off
GERS are to be elected \ few diScon-
tented Republicans met together the
other day and nominated MIR. George
Fl. CorliSs for Governor with the cXpec-
tatiOn that the Democrats would take
him up and make him their candidate
also. Tue to their expectation with
great unamimtiy the Democrats puthim
through with hllrrah. But the hlIrrah
was not so loud when Mr. Corliss
promptly and with a little show of in
diglation declined the nomination. He
had always been a Republican and az
this time, with II Presidential election
pending, he could not afford to be
made the wheel horse Of the small pack
Of tariff revenue rctormcrs, that Rhode
Island had within her borders. The
Democrats then nominated a straight
out and intend to run III" machine in the
old ruts, Of anything to beat the Re
publcans. The Republican convention
met and re-nominatcd Richard II.
BOurn, the present incumbent who was
elected last year by Il majority Of 2,lOO,
when it was an untavorablc yeiM for
Republicans, and they expect to elect
him this year by twice ihNt majority.

IT WAS believed by many last year
that the house building business had
overreached itself and that this Spring
there would be a large number Of UNI
occupied dwellings. This expectation
we are glad to say, has not been real,
led as houses for rent are about a.
scarce as they have been for a number
of years past. The only difference is
that there has been Il reduction in the
rents of about Il dollar a month on
houses chat rent for So and Sl4 per
month.
The building boom has started up as
lively as ever, and the prospect now Is
that there will be at least rs many erect
ed this year as last year All this
goes to show that Wilmington has ac'
quired such a forward impetus III I'M
provcrncnts and business that it is hard
to check.

WHEN THE GAZETTE started on its
new crusade, under young muscle and
warmer blood, it was to drive the RE-
PUBLICAN out of existence. Yesterday
the remains Of the Gazette Were sold at
Sheriff's sale, and most of the metallic
fixtures, except the Hoe press and a
cracked Bell, can now be found in the
REPUBLICAN Office. This is driving
the REPUBLICAN out witha vengeance.
