II seems like poetic justice that Cleveland
and Hendricks should In 1884 carry exactly the
same States that Tilden and Hendricks carried
In 1876. The second attempt to deprive the can.
didates, who are the choice of the people, of the
fruits OF victory has failed, and 1t is not likely
that any such attempt will be repeated In the
future. Such returning boards as made this
possible In 1875 have passed out of existence,
never more to be resurrected. a.H --I

When Hayes was beaten in 1876, he &C.
knowledged it the day after the election and
remarked that he did not care for himself,
but his heart bled for the poor negro. Blaine
says "the deep regret he would feel at DEM
ecratic triumph would be altogether for his
party and the country-not for himself
His disinterestedness is truly remarkable, and
reminds us of the fox and the grapes bat he

Thanksgiving DAY.

Thursday next, November 9th, is the day
set apart by our national and State authori-
ties, as day of thanksgiving and praise
While every individual has abundant cause
for Thanksgiving, if he will but think over the
blessings he has received or the miseries he
has been spared, Democrats and Independent
Republicans will be thankful that the Presi-
dental election is over, and that Grover
Cleveland, the tried and trusted representa-
tive of an honest and purified government,
has been elected. Straight-out Republicans,
too while they may not feel like rejoicing
that the Democrats have won, may at any
rate be thankful that the election has been
decided in such a manner as to leave no
shadow of doubt as to the correctness of the
count in New York, which gave the State
to Cleveland. They may also console them
selves with the thought that if all the bless
ings of a reformed and purified government
which have been promised by the Democrats
are realized, they will share them equally
with their political opponents. Therefore,
let everybody praise God and be thankful.

AIden's Literary Revolution.

John b. Aldcn's Literary Revolution, though
not making so large ''noise'' in the world as
three or four years ago. when its remarkable
work was new TO the public, is really making
more substantial progress than ever before. A
noticeable item is the improved quality of the
books issued. Guizot's famous "History of
France" not sold, till recently, for much less
than $4,000, is put forth in eight small octave
volumes, ranking with the handsomest ever is
sued from American printing presses, including
the 426 full page original illustrations, and is
sold for 81. Rawlinson's celebrated "Seven
Great Monarches of the Ancient Eastern
World" is produced in elegant form, with all
the maps and illustrations, reduced In price
from S1S to 1915 These are but representative
of an immense list of standard works rang
ing from two cents to nearly 800, which are set
forth in descriptive catalogue of 10Opages, and
which is sent free to every applicant. 1t certain
