Hon. e. N. Merrill for Peters.

The heaviest blow thus far to fall
upon the third party movement came,
Wednesday afternoon, in the public
declaration of Hon Edward n. Mer-
rilI of SkoWhegan, that he Will vote
for John A. Peters. Mr. Merrilfs let
ter is given on another page and
should be read by every man who
at this time has any doubts as to his
duty in the present campaign. 1t is
the ripe conclusion of man skilled
in political warfare, keen legal mind
and a marvellous grasp of the pub
lie pulse.
Mr.. Merrill has been, and is now.
loyal to the Third party movement.
But he has no desire to mislead those
who have confidence in his judgment.
honesty and political aeumen. He
would not maintain a false hope where
defeat Is sure and means so much.
Mr.. Merrill has been watching and
waiting for days that he might make
no mistake. He saw and felt the ris-
ing of. the tide of indignation against
fhe Southern free trade imposition,
and the remarkable turning of the
popular mind toward Peters to voice
its sentiment Unwilling to wholly
trust to his own growing conviction,
Mr.. Merrill set his resources in mo-
ton to confirm or disprove the signs
of the hour. The result Is his strlk-
ing statement of conditions, the dec
laration of his purpose to vote for
Peters, and his advice to those de-
Maineis vital interests to do the same.
Mr.. Merrill adroitly points out that
the Progressive movement has served
its purpose; that the Republican par
ty has been rebuked and chastened;
that the process has resulted In tfi-
umphs for the political enemy, and
that the greatest service honest ana
really progressive members of the
Third party can give their country
and the records of their movement
existence, is to throw their weight
where it will best counteract the OPP
position to their principles.
Frankly, and leaving no room for
doubt of his full knowledge of the
situation, Mr.. Merrill states to the
public that Hon. E. Nj. Lawrence has
no following and not a shadow OF d
possibility of defeating the Demo-
cratic candidate. 1t then becomes the
duty of Progressives to turn to the
man who stands for the same great
principles of government and make
sure of his election.
Throughout the Third district are
hundreds of third party men wht

when vote for their candldat

The courage of Hon. Il. N. Merril
to warn his associates before 1t wa
too late should win for him a ne'
degree of respect and admiration
from men of all parties. 1t is sue
men as Mr.. Merrill that may be call

touched a new chord in the Third dis

Names expression to have any effect
upon the tariff bill, Col. Plummer
..s aroused strong hope that it Is NOT

and his sharp and plain presentation of

even probabilities, of an emphatic ex-
ETA pression from a Congressional district

ence upon the final schedules.
Col Plummer pointed out that the
fAg bill had not yet passed the Senate:
go that it had undergone many changes
since passing the House, and that a
conference would be necessary be-
~ tween the houses. He made use of the
frequent declaration Of the Democratic
candidate that the issue is one of en-
dorsement or rebuke of the national
administration. Col. Plummer con
firmed that statement and declared
that the election at this time of d
