AUGUSTA, Feb. 1.-THE meeting of the
officers Of the Uniform Rank. Knights of
Pythias, which was to have been held in
Augusta, on Friday, for the purpose of or
ganizing regimental division, was post
poned for few days until it could be decid-
ed whether division of the rank would be
instituted in Biddeford, for which a petit

are five of these divisions in the State: Da-
mon, No. /, Lewiston: Belfast, No. q Au-
burn, No. 3; King, No. 4, Augusta; Bath,
No. 5. There is talk of organizing divisions
in Bangor, Watervllle, Brunswick and Hal
lowell Portland is also said to be good
field for division. All the divisions in the
State form a regimental division and three
officers from each meet and select officers for
the latter, which are as follows: Lieut.. col
onel, major, surgeon, chaplain and adjutant,
besides non-commissioned officers. Capt.
John Sabin of Lewiston and Capt. Fred 81.
Owen of Augusta, will probably be selected

ward by the Democratic president, and can
not be hidden out Of. sight in 1888. The
country is now in the enjoyment of an in
dustrial system which in a quarter
of a century has assured a larger
National growth, more rapid ac-
accumulation and broader distribution of
wealth than were ever before known to his
tory. The American people will now be
openly and formally asked to decide whether
this system shall be recklessly abandoned
and new trial be made of an old expert
ment which has uniformly led to National
embarrassment and widespread individual
distress. On the result of such an issue,
fairly presented to the popular judgment,
there is no room for doubt.
One thing only is necessary to assure sue
cess-complete harmony and cordial cooper
alton on the part of all Republicans-on the
part both of those who aspire to lead and of
those who are eager to follow. The duty is
not one merely of honorable devotion to the
party whose record and whose aims are alike
great, but it is one demanded by the instinct
of self-interest and by the still higher
promptings of patriotism.
A closer observation of the conditions of
life among the older Nations gives one a
more intense desire that the American peo-
pie shall make no mistake in choosing the
policy which inspires labor with hope and
crowns il with dignity, which gives safety to
capital and protects its increase, which Sc
cures political power to every citizen. COM
fort and culture to every home. To this
end, not less earnestly and more directly as
aIprivate citizen than as public candidate,
] shall devote myself, with the confident
belief that the Administration of the Gov
ernment will be restored to the party which
has demonstrated the purpose and the power
to WELD it for the unity and the honor of the
Republic, for the prosperity and progress of
the people.
/ am,
Very sincerely yours,

THIRD PARTY CAUCUS.
General Neal Dow Nominated for
mayor by AccIanation.

At the Third Party caucus held in Recep-
tion Hall Saturday evening, Rev. S. f. Pear
son called the meeting to order and then
read the call as published in the newspapers.
He then invoked the divine blessing, after
which he called upon the meeting to nomi-
nate chairman. One after another nomi-
nation was made until four different gen.
tlemen had been called upon to take the
chair, all of whom declined. Finally Mr..
Franklin Skillings was nominated and he
accepted the chair. Daniel p. Parker was
elected secretary.
Upon motion of Charles T. Libby it was
voted to first nominate candidate for
Mayor Mr.. Libby said that the contest
about to be entered upon would, without
doubt, be a repitition of the same old story
and Mayor Chapman would probably be the
Republican standard bearer. As the best
man, in his opinion, to run lagainst the
other nominees, he would nominate lMr.
Daniel Hamblen.
Mr.. Hamblen said: "Mr. Chapman, as
Mr.. Libby said, will probably be the Repub-
lican standard bearer. Mr.. Mccarthy will
probably be the Democratic candidate and
that party will go in with its candidate ut
terly opposed to prohibition. There is no
doubt Of it; they do not try to conceal the
TACT. Ihere are good men In the Republican
party and good men who have left it and
joined our ranks. 1t becomes the Prohibi-
tion party to nominate its strongest candi-
date to oppose those nominated by the other
parties. A Prohibitionist of Republican an
tecedents would run better than | would be-
cause l am of Democratic antecedents. |
shall, therefore, most positively decline the
nomination"
Mr.. Libby urged the nomination of Mr..
Hamblen.
Rev. S. F. Pearson said that although he
would do all in his power to make Mr. Ham
blen mayor, he believed that the party was
duty bound to nominate Mr.. Neal Dow. l
believe, said he, that the nomination of Mr..
Neal Dow viii draw distinct line between
prohibition ana non-prohibition, and move
his nomination. The motion was seconded.
Mr.. Libby made motion that the meeting
proceed to ballot for a nominee, but it was
voted down. He said: General Dow has
been in the front long time and a good

turely. think Mr.. Hamblen is the strong
