Kit Warren On Thanksgiving Day.

and discharged my duty and clear ed my skirts ike a little man. A faithful, obedient, law-abiding citi- zen: I gave thanks on the 21th. ] gave lots of thanks. l was thank ful from Alpha to Omega; from be- ginning to end, from the crown of my head to the sole of my feet; thankfulthrough and through. l left the preachers, and tthe dcacons, and the women to return thanks te providence for health, and sea. sons, and crops and all the other beautiful blessing, for which l try to be thankful, evening and morn. ing. each day of my life. l resign ed the management of that depart ment 'to others more competent and better qualified to discharge its duties, and gave my sole and up- divided attention to another branch of the business,
 Oh, yes, was thankful, thankful, thankful. Imns thankful that, in descending from his exalted eyre, Blaine would be chaStencd by cX- periencing the pans and pait1* so tenderly expressed in these plain tive words of the poet:
 '.I soar aloft on engle's wings
 And light on daddy's wood pile,
 I was thankful that the great army of toadies and henchmen, and brigands, and strappers, and blath- erSkiteS are to be whirled. and tossed, and scattered like chaff in the wind. and, like roses in bloom, and like smoke in tempest, and ike dry dust before rolling char iot wheel, and like everything else that is tossablc, and scatierative. Looking to these facts, l gave thanks, and l gave them liberally, and giving didn't impoverish me; and if it had, they would have had to come anyhow, for I Icould't hold in.
 In fact, I gave all the thanks l had, and wcpt because ] had no more thanks to give. l gave thanks to the virtuous voters of this coun- try whe elected Cleyelaua and Hendricks, and to Buchard and Hatton, who manipulated the botch work of the Republican par ty. and to Conkling and Arthur and Edmunds, @ko let the cat over their tongues during the stormy sesion of the late lamented cam paigns. 1 also gave thanks to the InaepcG dent, and dahc leagues, and the labor unions, and the trade unions, and 10 the other individu. als and organizations who helped to swell and magnify the triumph. It was my treat, auk l treated the whole crowd to my taankS, and sighted nobody. TT ankfNl, the word wants elbow room. II needs rivers of inland forests of pens to give it adequate expression. l was thankful all over; tbapkfulness reigned aud ruled through the length and breadth and heigth and depth of me, and was monsrth of all it Sur\ eyed.
 Thanks rolled from my tongue, beamed in my eyes, glowed in my features, aud were vocal even inthe crack of my boots. Thanks came from me spontaneously and spoI- adically. They spilled out in show CTS, and streams. and pillows, and thunders, and 1 don't care who knows it..
 "Thankful for Cleveland, War. yes. Cleveland was my first choice and my second choice, aad my on- ly choice. He was my first love. l care so little about his his high tariff notoins, or his little low lar if notions, as l care ab00t the col or of his cuff buttons, OF the rum pie in his socks. l just want Cleve- land-Cleveland in the concrete, aud the synihesiS, and the agsre- gate-Cleyeland all about, and evcrywhere-Cleveland yesterday to-day and forever. l want Cleve. land straight, without any sweet. ening.
 l may be mistaken possibly I'm ! a trihe infatuated; but its my de- : liberate opinion that Cleveland is the very man who discovered Christopher Columbus, goboled up . the hidden treasures of science, in. | vented capillary attraction, and set the seven stars in good running
