Masonic Festival.

la every nation where human progress
admits the light of Freemas0nry, the
festival of st. John the Evangelist, on
the 9th of December, is celebrated with
imposing ceremony. The fraternity
purpOsed in its festivals to worship the
Grand Architect of the Universe, hum
bly, imploring his blessings upon the
race. and entering upon the feast of
brotherly affection and universal benev-
olencs. Itwas deemed most conducive
to the benefit of the order. and the honor
and advantage of the lodges to have this
year, an installation of the officers of the
Blue Lodge and Chapter, to conclude
with banquet and ball. to be witnessed
and participated in by Masons and their
ladies. The craft numbers so many
here that their large lodge room and par
lors are filled by members and lady
friends On such an occasion. The event
on Thursday night eclipsed all that had
preceded it in the undertakings Of the
order. In the elaborate ceremony there
was observed that dignity, efficiency
and solemnity so essential.to ceremony.
In the striking, costly vestures,and i'm
plements, there was much to interest
the eye, also to improve the mind of the
thinker. The Chapter did well for its
first appearance. There is always so much
to learn in Freemasonry that there can
only be comparative excellence obtained
but it is safe to say the order here is a
credit and honor to the fraternity. The
feast was rich, elaborate, and enjoyed to
the full. The dancing was in keeping
with the dances of our city.

BLAINE VERSUS ARTHUR.
Tae Maine Statesman Reported Will
ing to Enter the Lists.

CHICAGO. Nov. 81. The Tribune has the
following special from Washington: There
have been assertions and denials without
number made in regard to President Arthur's
supposed desire to succeed himself in the
presidential chair. It is no longer a secret,
and his most intimate friends now
admit, that while he is in no sense
an applicant for the honor he will
not decline a denomination. So far no very
prominent Republican has been willing tc
step in the ring and contest the nomination
with him. Blaine has been away from the
city for some time, but has been telegraphed
for He will be here next week, when his
friends will talk the matter over with him
h. too, has stated that he is not candidate,
that his two efforts to get the nomination
were all that he wanted in that direction.
His friends now are confident that be will
allow the use of his name as against Arthur
under the circumstances.
Several Republicans, who were prominent
candidates, seem to have given up all hope
Edmunds was the first to draw out. Win
dom followed when he found he was beaten
for the senate. The boonls for Logan and
Harrison died out on their own account The
Gresham boom was never weighty enough to
demand respectable consideration. That
cleaned UP the list. Arthur and Blaine are
left, and there are many who are well up in
the political affairs of the country who re-
gard the race for the nomination as between
them The presidents New York friends are
losing no opportunity now to impress others
with the belief that he will accept the nomi-
nation if rendered him

Importance 10 the Grady issue by making
long statement OF his attitude toward

him out of the senate He wrote to Kelly in
confidence, believing him to be his friend,
and knowing that Kelly, as boss, controlled
absolutely Grady's denomination He thinks
Kelly acted in an ungentlemanly manner in

tending that it broke up the harmony pro-

short, the governor takes the ground that

him away is another His followers stick to
him because he leads them where they want
to go, and gets for them what they want
most. The governors difference with him is
one which sooner or later every honest leader
in the party is bound to have; but it has been
shown repeatedly that the leader who forces
does so at the sacrifice of his political
prospects"
