White accepted the message in good

Wilmington was honored with the
presence of five congressman yesterday.
While she extended hearty welcome to
the members from Washington, Wis
consin and Mississippi, she did not for
get the two members from her W
state. Our people were glad to have
Messers. Small and Patterson with
them. We hope these gentlemen found
as much pleasure in their visit to our
city as did our people in having them
with us. Our only regret is that their
stay was so short.

Senator Tillman is not going to be
whipped out so easily on the Barnes
appointment matter. After being
turned down by the senate committee
post Offices he has taken up the
.matter on the floor of the senate and
will try to have the conduct and char
acter of the appointee investigated by
the committee on the District of Co
ilumbia. The appointment by the pres
Iident of this man and the course pur-
sued in reference to the charges made
against him by Senator Tillman have
stirred the ire Of the people of Wash
'ington. Even the organ of the ad-
m~inistration. The Evening Sar, take
sides against the president and criti-
cises his action most severely. We
have not heard the last of this case by
a great deal. Senator Tillman will
make it hot for somebody yet.

THE MESSENGER AND THE CAN.
DIDATES.

Politics are warming up all over the
state. Candidates are beginning to &C
around and show themselves. An
nouncements are being made in the
nels that this and that man will bow
to the wishes Of his numerous friends
and immediate himself on the altar OF
patriotism to the extent of allowing
his many friends TO vote for him for
some office or another. 1t is wonderful
how many friends some men have be-
fore the meeting of the nominating
conventions in comparison with the
number which show up on the day Of
the nominating convention or of the
primary. To all those people who
have made such great personal sacri-
fees at the earnest solicitation of their
friends and who seem so anxious that
The Messenger should know the fact
and express its views on the subject
we wish to say that this paper can
not help them. If, before consulting
us or even apprising us of the fact
that great pressure was being brought
to bear upon them to make such sac
rifice, they have consented to place
themselves in the hands of their
friends it is too late for us to rescue
them from the hands of those incon-
siderate friends. Had they conferred
with US before yielding and making
the fatal pledge to abide by the action
of their friends we might have saved
some Of them from useless worry and
sleepless nights, but after taking the
fatal plunge it is too late to appeal to
us for aid. All we can do in such
cases is to andvice that they try not to
be too ~grievously disappointed on the
nominating day when they find that
their friends are not as numerous as
they thought they were.
Also we wish to say right now at
the beginning of the campaign for
nominations in the democratic party
that The Messenger has no candidates.
It is not going to use what influence
it has, if any, for any one man, nor IS
it going to say one word against any
man who seeks a nomination. We
wish the people of the party to select
the men they want. It is not the
province of a newspaper to attempt to
turn public favor to or from any fit
ting man who seeks office at the hands
Of his party. We have received more
than n communication seeking the
support of this paper for a candidate
for office. We must decline to take
any part as a newspaper in any contest
for nomination to Office by a conven-
ton Of democrats. The %proprietors of
the paper and the men in their en-
ployment will, Of course, exercise their
right to support any man they choose.
but that is a personal matter with them
and something with which the paper
has nothing to do.
