III Market St.,

On Tuesday, February
10th, we will commence to
move into our new store at
Fourth and Market streets.
We ask a little patience from
our friends and customers if
during the time Of tearing
down and putting up of our
large stock, our service to
you may not be so prompt
or careful as usual. The
great rush of business which
we have passed through the
last month, has left us in
good shape to receive the
new and elegant stock
with which we shall open
our new store, and it is our
purpose to display a line OF
DRY GOODS AND CAR
PETS in quantities, assort-
ment and low prices never
before shown in our city.

The J Judgeship.

Yesterday being cabinet day al
Washington, and no appointment
having been agreed upon for Judge oi
the United States District Court Of
Delaware, several days may vet elapse
before the appointment is made. Rumor
says that the reported withdrawal OF
Judge Fisher name is only a ruse To
secure his appointment in the end. Hon.
James r. Lotiand and K. G. Fraim,
E"q., are still named for the appoint
ment. Mr.. Fraim declares that having
signed Mr.. Spruances recommendation
tor the appointment he will not be a
candidate against him while he is in
the field.
The fact that the President has moi
appointed Mr.. Spruance notwithstand.
the strong. recommendation in his
favor is generally accepted az evidence
that he will not be appointed. Quite a
number of letters recommending Mr..
Fraim for the appointment have been
sent to the President. The situation tc
say the least is decidedly muddled and
will grow more SO until the appoint
meLt is made.

The General Protest.

We have received a great number Of
letters from Republicans in regard to the
Republican nomination and to the posi-
ton Of Harper's Weekly.
The great mass Of the letters pay M the
compliment Of assuming that the Week
~ could not and would not advise its
readers to support candidacy which it
had declared to be unworthy, and they
declare almost universally the intention
of awaiting the action Of the Democratic
Convention.
There are one or two Of our friends
who ask whether reform can be expect
ell of the Democratic party. The reply
is, whether it can be expected Of party
that deliberately selects Mr.. Blaine as it's
representative. Would any man famil-
lar with the career of both think of COM
pairing Mr.. Blaine as reformer, in the
truest and most practical sense, with
Gov. Cleveland As we have often said,
the first great State movement for reform
the movement in New York-is very
largely due to the courage and sagacity
of Gov. Cleveland. If Mr.. Blaine has
shown any interest in reform except .
declaration in a speech four years ago
that their should be q fixed limited term
of office-which, while recognizing the
then rising demand for reform, was GER
tainly not reform suggestion-it is un-
-' 20
known to us. That Blaine administra-
ton should be in any just and large sense
a reform administration is an illogical
expectation.-Harper's Weekly.
