By notice elsewhere it will be seen
that the Republican caucus for the
selection of a candidate for Repre-
sentative is to be held next Saturday
evening. All Republicans and all
Others who intend to support the
nominee of the caucus are requested
to be present. Thus far but little has
been said as to who would be the
best man to send to Montpelier this
fall. The need of sending a strong
and really representative man is gen.
orally recognized. Various import
ant matters of a financial and eco
nomic character will be considered.
Public institutions and educational
interests are to receive especial at
tention, and it is therefore necessary
that we send a man of experience
and one who is capable of dealing
with these and kindred issues. We
ought not to select a man because
he belongs to a particular class, but
rather for his acknowledged ability
to deal with these important ques-
tions. The village of Hyde Park
will have some important matters in
connection with its corporation to
arrange at Montpelier, and therefore
it is desired by the people of the viii
lage that a selection be made from
this end of the town. There hasn't
been Representative from the street
since M. p. Cheney. The only names
mentioned in this locality are those
of H. M. Mcfarland and S. B. Waite.
They need no introduction, as they
are both we'll known throughout the
town; that either would make a COM
petent as well as creditable Repre-
sentative no one doubts. Gov. Pages
name has been suggested, but he
fatty says, "No."
We understand the north end of
the town is unanimous for l.. 2.
Butts, a good Republican and vet
eran soldier. He has many friends
throughout town who would like to
see him sent to Montpelier. He would
make a good Representative. Then
again, there are those who feel that
the nominee of two years ago, John
Schofeld, should be given an elec-
ton this year. He made a strong
fight then and his friends say he
would be a winner this time.
We have not space or time to emu
merate the large number of other
available Republicans who would he
a credit to the town in this position.
We simply mention these because
they are most prominent. Let there
be a large turnout at the caucus,
make the best selection possible, and
abide by the result. AS we said at
the beginning Hyde Park should be
ably represented, but unless careful
choice is made, the town with its
100 people will have no more influA
ence in shaping the legislation of the
next Assembly than the 61 persons
of Somerset, to-wit, one vote,

One Of the greatest features of the
coming Fourth Of July celebration will
be the magnificent spectacle presented
by the great military and civic parade
which is to take place at 10 o'clock in
the forenoon. 1t is already certain
that it is to be the largest parade ever
seen in Augusta, If not in the whole
State of Maine. There will be military
escort, and arrangements have already
been made whereby nearly 1900 uni
formed firemen with their bands and
drum corps will form one division in the
fine. There will also be number of
carriages containing invited guests, and
1t is hoped that the uniformed organi-
cations of this city and of Kennebec
valley will join to make this royal
pageant.
The committee, headed by Col. R. w.
Soule, has commenced putting in
effective work, and it is hoped that
every business man in Augusta will
Join Ia making the trade features of the

the tradesmen's procession was one Of
the best features. There were tally-ho
coaches and floats showing the trades
at work, exhibitions of merchandise
and numerous advertising carts with
tasteful displays.
