The Third Congressional District

DletEtEI-
The atmosphere OF the third con-
gressional district is filed with rnmors
of what is to take place in the filing
of the vacancy caused by the death of
Hon. Forrest Goodwin. Mr.. Good
win, it will be recalled, defeated Hon.
Hannibal E. Hamlin, CT Ellsworth, at
the primaries; the contest was sharp,
though good natured, and the victor
had no more loyal supporters in the
campaign which followed than Mr..
Hamlin and his friends.
Naturally, therefore, should Mr..
Hamlin announce his candidacy-as
his friends throughout the district
hope he will-he may fairly look for
the support of all who so valiantIy
supported Mr.. Goodwin in the pri-
mary contest. And 1t goes without
saying that he will have the loyal
support of Hancock and Washington
counties.
The only other republican who has
announced his candidacy is Hon. B.
F. Maher, of Augusta, ex judge of the
municipal court of that city.
Tomorrow in Bangor there is to be
a meeting OF the republican district
committee, members of the State
committee from the four counties
comprising the third district, and
other prominent republicans. And il
is understood that representatives of
the progressives will attend this
conference, the object being to unite
upon candidate who will be &C.
ceptable to both republicans and
progressiyes, and thus practically
insure democratic defeat.
Many prominent democrats are
looking for the nomination, the most
prominent being Hon. w. r. Patten-
gall, ex-attorney- general, and Hon.
s. w. Gould, whom Goodwin de-
feated.
That the tariff will be the leading
issue in the coming contest may be
taken for granted; this being so, the
fight will be less for the man than for
the principles he stands for.
Mr.. Hamlin to-day stated that he
still has the matter of becoming a
candidate under advisement.

Death of Congressman Goodwin.
The death OF Congressman Forrest
Goodwin, of the third district, causes
sorrow throughout the Stste..es 1t
marks the passing not only of a
brilliant lawyer and public man, but OF
a man close to the hearts of political
friends and opponents alike because
of his charming personality.
The third district loses represent
alive in Congress who, had death
spared him, would undoubtedly have
ranked high among the famous men
of Maine who have represented the
State in the national capital.
Forrest Goodwin had given more of
himself to his profession land to his
service of the public than his
physique could stand, and atl~ffty
years of age, at the very threshold of
larger public service, he is struck
down, and whole State mourns.
