The Wilmington Messenger has al
ways been a prime favorite of ours,
and it is gratifying to know that under
its new management it gives evidence
of long life and prosperity. 1t has
formally passed into the hands OF
Messrs. Jackson & Bell. the well
known job printers of Wilmington,
and with its change of ownership 1t
also changed its form. IT is now only
four pages in size, eight columns to
the page, change which we think
will cause it to enhance rather than
suffer in the estimation of its readers.
The scholarly and accomplished DR..
Kingsbury will continue to WELD his
facile pen and shape its course edito-
rally, whereat this writer is particu-

WAsHISGros, Nov. 22.-One thing is
made very clear by the gathering OF
prominent republican polite ans here.
Delegations which are headed by Fe d.
ersl ofticeholders even speak with en-
thusiasm for Blaine. Ii is \ significant
fact also that, although many have
called upon the secretary of state and
nave made it PLAIN to him, often in the
most fulsosie of terms, that he 10 the
choice of their section, NJ. Blaine has
not intimate 10 any one that ne would
not accept the nomination, or that he
is pleased with the evidences of his
popularity. The impression is gaining
ground here that Mr.. Blame would ac-
cept the presidential nomination. There
mas been an intlmatlon today that be-
fore the meeting of congress he may in
some authoritative way explain his po-
sltion. Such an explanation would be
awaited with great interest.
Harrison an Open Aspirant
1t is evident that the Harrison Office
holders are not particularly aggressive
IN the interest OF their chief. None OF
them, SO far as can be ascertained, have
been able to learn whether or not the
president has any choice as TO the loca-
tion of the national republican conven-
ton. Numerous attempts have been
made to learn what the views of the
president are upon this subject, and he
has been quoted by the advocates of
Minneapolis IS favoring that city. 1t
is not apparent. however. that he has
any organization in his interests. In
deed ne appears to be drifting, as is his
secretary of state. lie has not, how
ever, told any of the Federal Office
holders VINO are here as members of the
national convention, or as members OF
delegations who have come to actively
participate in the political discussions
of the day, that they would do well to
return TO their official places.
Blaine Is Diplomatic.
as for the Blaine talk, the delega-
tons that await on him, who talk OF
his presidential chances say that ali
that he will say to them is contained IN
some such sentences as this:
1--WE will lot talk OF that matter
now"
70 no one has he given an intim ton
that he did not intend to run or that
the suggestion of his name IN connec-
ton with tho presidency is not en-
tirely agreeable. 1t is evident that the
aggressive Blaine men consider that
the secretary of state is in the field.
And it is also evident that it is their
purpose 81 soon as the patlonal COM
mittee shall iesue the call for the con-
vention to begin to prepare the way for
the election of delegates in the interest
of Mr.. Blaine. The Harrison men
amcng the committeeman look on
with wonder, and for the most part in
silence. There does not seem to be az
aggresslvely positive man among them.
