lam informed that before the session
closes, which will probably be tomorrow
at noon, resolution will pass in which
the Grapd Lodge will formerly repudiate
the Third (Pfohibitlonl Party, and de.

language. A delegate told me this morn
ing that the order OF Good Templars re-
gardod itself as the only legitimate tenn,
perance organization in the State, and
welded power in itE peculiar field second
to none. The Grand secretary's report,
rendered this morning, shows an increase
OF lodges during the past year, and very
large increase in membership. The order
Ia also shown to be in q very healthy con-
diti0n in every respect.
