of Jesus Christ, and descending dlrecsly
from the ancient Tesaplars, though modified
to suit the age. The costume adopted Is
very similar to that of q general officer of
| the United States army. The present organ
| zasion Of Knights Templar in America was
| created in 1916 by the members comprising
eight separate encampments, and according
TO very high authority, Templary In the
| United States received its first impetus from
| the Supreme Council A. and A. 5. Rite,
thirty-third degree The earliest Grand
| Encampment, that of New York, was
chartered by a Consistory of the thirty-second
degree, and they founded their constitutions
| on the independence of the United States In
| civil government, having their chief head
! and chief government in their own country,
and its jurisdiction bounded only by the civil
! Jurisdiction of such government: adopting
regulations they considered applicable and
| advisable to the requirements of the Masonic
| body in the United States. The Order is
therefore with them peculiarly Ar erican,
derived from the Kadosh. the thirtieth OF
Templar degree of the A. and a. s. Rite, in
which TIE death of the last Grand Master
De Molai the martyr, is commemorated in
the legends of the degree and black insignia
born as a symbol of mourning. 1t Is an ably
formed organization"
The Knights Templar are essentially a
Christian organization. In their emblems,
their ritual, and on their banners, they con-
stantly recall the cross and passion of the
Redeetner While on the one hand they do
not demand belief in the doctrine of the
Trinity III Unity, they inculcate 1T in many
of their services, and are, therefore, as a
class, the American Defenders of the Faith
''once delivered to the saints In every
community in which they are established
they enroll in their Asylums representative
men, and they stand to-day sui geaeris as re-
CARDS wealth and responsibility.
SECOND WARD GARFIELD AND ARTHUR
CLUB "A large and enthusiastic gathering of
Republicans of the Second Ward assembled
last evening under the auspices of the Second
Ward Garfield and Arthur Club, at
their headquarters on Fourth street. The
committee appointed for conference with
the other club instituted in the ward,
reported that they attended meeting of
the club, aud proposed that to obtain
union the two clubs consolidate and elect
new officers. This the other club refused to
do They stated that the only condition on
which they would consent to unite was that
they should have the presidency of the new
club. With this arrangement they would not
ask any other officers. MIR. Jones said
that he was perfectly willing to
resign, and did not desire to
stand in the way Of union. On motion it
was ordered that the report of the Commit
tee on Conference be received and the com
mittee discharged. j. I'll. Sullivan stated
that this club had made q fair proposition,
and he was opposed to any further confer
ence. and upon motion it was resolved that
the matter of conference be Indefinitely post
poned. The meeting OF the club was changed
co Saturday night of each week. The club
was then addressed by Senator w. A. Cheney.
He said the only way to win political fight
was to Undue the people with enthusiasm.
He then reviewed the history of the Demo
cratic nominations for the last twenty years.
and said that the only object of the Demo-
cratic party during that time was
to place Presidential candidates before
the people for the purpose of binding
them to the real designs gf the party. They
commenced with Mcclellan, with the cry
that he was the leader of the Union forces
Finding this unsuccessful, they tried a Bour-
bon, in the person Of Seymour. Again de-
feated, they attempted TO win by abandoning
their principles with the nomination OF Gree
ley The next resort was the statesman
bait, in the form of S. J. Tilden. This fail
ing, they now ask for support because they
have nominated Union General. The peo-
