Of the most esteemed and worthy citi-
zens of Milwaukee, where he was an
old settler. He had been a successful

THE ELECTIONS.

Tuesday of last week elections were
held in the States of Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Iowa, Nebraska and Californi a.
In Penusy lvania Judges of the Su-
preme Court and other officers we're
elected. The Republicans were sue
cessful by nearly the same majority as
given for the Republican Governor
one year ago.
To Ohio the election for Governor
and State officers has been closely con
tested. Ii is now conceded that Allen,
The d democratic candidate for Governor,
IS elected over Noyese by majority of
about 500, while the balance Of the Re-
publican State Ticket is successfully a
small majority. The legislature is
demo cratic, insuring the re election of
Thurman to the United States Senate.
In Iowa the Republicans have elected
their state officers by about 20 900 ma
iority. Nebraska has been carried by
the Il epubIicans by an increased ma
Iority. In California what IL called
the "Independent" ticket has been
successful. The result in Ohio is due
to the apathy displayed by the Repub-
hcans, large percentage of them not
voting. The Democratic vote shows
no Increase over the elections of late
years. In Iowa, also, through the same
lack of interest on the part of the Re-
publicans, the regular Republican, ma
Iority is cut down one-half. We trust
the Republicans of Wisconsin will
learn lesson from the vote in Ohio
znd Iowa. With full vote the Wis.
eonsin Republicans can carry the state
for Washbura and the balance of the
ticket by a larger majority than ever
gwen before for state officers, while
through Indifference and carelessness
we might lose the state. Let Repub-
beans see to it in every precinct that
there Is the entire vote polled.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

WASHINGTON, Oct. l4.-By the
President of the United States of
America:
The approaching close of another
year brings with it the occasion for re-
newed thanksgiving and acknowledge
ment to the Almighty Ruler of the
universe of the unnumbered mercies
which Ae has bestowed upon us.
Abundant harvests have been among
the rewards of industry, with local ex
ceptions health has been among the
blessings enjoyed tranquility at home
and peace with other nations have pre-
vailed; frugal industry is regaining
its merited recognition, its merited re-
ward. Gradually, but under the pro-
violence of God surely, as we trust, the
nation is recovering from the linger-
ing results of a dreadful civil strife
for these and all other mercies vouch-
safed 1t becomes US as a people to re-
turn heartfelt and grateful acknowl
Judgements, and with our thanksgiving
we may unite prayers for the cessation
of local and temporary suffering. ]
therefore recommend that on Thurs
day, the 9th day of November next,
the people meet in their respective
places of worship to make their ac-
acknowledgements to Almighty God for
His protection, and to offer to Him
prayers for their continuance.
In witness whereof have hereunto
set my baud aad caused the seal Of the
United States to be affixed. Done at
the city of Washington this 18th day.

Mr.. Nibb's Troubles

Nibbs, OF Newspaper Row, got
back from the Springs the other day,
and we didn't know him. So i'm.
proved? We think not. Being in.
tlmately acquainted with Nlbs. We
knew it wasn't the water. At FIRST
he said it was dasbnation smash-up
on the railroad, but yesterday 1t all
came out and he had to own up.
You see, when they started back
from the springs, Mrs. Nibs said she
should die, she knew she should, un.
less they took stateroom. Nibs
affirmed that he W ouldn't encourage
such extravaganza, and went out to
see a man before the train started.
Mrs. Nibs declared to goodness she
would have a atate.room and had
her baggage moved into the forward
one, and paid tor it with money N,bs
had given her TO buy something for
the children. When Nibs came in
he qualified some more about the
virtue Of economy, and limited that
she'd bring HIM to want yet with
her staterooms and things. After q
few remarks by Mrs. Nlbs having
reference to cigars and L;n;-. as si.~y
started.
When the porter came around to
make down their berths, Mrs. Nibs
sail how nice and genteel and exclu-
siye it was and she was sure it would
kill her to ride 10 one ofthose horrid
sections, with only curtain between
her and her neighbors, it was SO
much like bundllng. They got to
Harrisburg about midnight, and Nlbs
went out to see another man. While
he was gone they changed ends with
that sleeper. Nibs is careful man,
and never dlstul bs his vito when he
comes home from the lodge. SO he
slipped into the forward state room
without making bit o: noise. Ho
was tired, and didn't take much no
tice Of tho furniture and things when
he went to bed. He went to sleep
and dreamed he was q beautiful
young lady.
Nits says be don't remember tie
particulars, but the first thing he
knew some one outside shouted bal
