In midocean to repair it. When signaled
the Umbria was thirty-five miles south

Southampton and German and French
ports.
She was $50 miles due east from Bos.

Secretary Blaine Resigns.

In lieu of a letter in regard 10
the Presidential nomination, some
what expected by the public from
Mr. Blaine, the Secretary of State
has given a new impetus to specus
lation by resigning his office. His
letter of resignation was sent to
the President yesterday about
noon, aud was promptly accepted.
This course by. Mr.. Blaine may
NEAR that he is either satisfied
that he will he nominated at Min
neapolis, or that he has made up
his mind to enter the race at all
hazards, and desires to free him
self from the suspicion of having
opposed the President while a
member of his cabinet, or he may
be carrying out a purpose, limited
at several months ago, of resigning.
The zeal manifested in behalf Of
the Secretary by his friends at
Minneapolis leaves the Inference
that he has "striped for the race"
If he does appear before the con-
vention it is vesy probable thai his
nomination will be assured on the
first ballot. No man in the Re-
publican party has SO strong a
hold upon the masses of his party
as Mr.. Blaine. In Statesmanship
he has nc equal in his party, and
his nomination would mean a Drills
liant, vigorous and aggressive cam
paign.
There will be no regret among
Democrats at Mr. Harrison's de-
feat. This exponent of force bills,
high tariffs, and champion OF the
pampered protectionists OF the
North will then pass into political
obscurity, unwept, unhonored and
unsung.-Raleigh Chronicle.
