yond the question of their honest
and efficient administration, The
people are interested only to the end
that Cleveland removes incompetent
and InharmoBious executive and adj
ministratiye agents; they are not at
all interested in the question wheth-
or ? democrat, hungry and thirsty
for chance at the public crib for
"a years, is given the place of an en-
tirely competent republican incum-
bent. If President Cleveland proves
to be statesman enough to see this
fact and stand by his uttered ceR-
yictions, he will show himself q mar
of extraordinary force of characteri
he will incur obloquy, ridicule and
the organized autagonism of large
portion of his party; but if he en-
dures to the end "the fierce light
that is sure to beat on his throne"
he will found party and be the
most popular man in America
Senator Edmunds evidently does not
believe that it is possible that any
man can stand up under such a
storm, and very likely has prediction
will prove true. But there is a pos
sibility that President Cleveland
may stand under his flag and con,
quer under it.

statisticians that the bulk of the Of

for both Democrats and Republicans

A PROCLAMATION,
nv samuel Z. Pinsres, Governor.


The custom and example of our fore
fathers, in aedicating a special day of
the year to the pious service of fasting,
humiliation and prayer to the Lord,
has been beneficent in its influences
upon the people of our State and Ma
ton, and is worthy OF perpetuation.
/ do, therefore, designate and ap-
point
FRIDAY, THE Sd pay OF APRIL NEXT,
as the day Of our Annual Fast, to be
observed and kept as such by the peo-
pie of this State.
And | recommend that on that day
ell tho people rast from unnecessary
labor and business, abstain from rec
reation and amusements, and engage
in exercises Of genitence and devotion
to God in our customary places OF
public worship, and in deeds and SER
vices of love to hlA and to our fellow
men, in our communities and hQmes.
Given under my hand and the State
seal, at Hartford, this third day of
March, in the year of our LORD one
thousand and eighty five, and of the
American Independence the one hun.

The new Counoi,.

The smoke of battle has cleared
away and the field where the recent
notable conflict between the bond and
anti-bond forces was waged, lies
broadly open to the gaze of all in
terested. The new council is plainly
aud upquiyooally anti.bond to all in
tents aud purposes, and this includes
the mayor also. II is urged by the
pro-bond men that his honor the may
or is but young convert. What OF
that? is that any reason why he

its most loyal and enthusiastic as well
as able advocates. So it will prove
with mayor Wilkes, and his future
labors in the defense of Waco from
the dangerous bonding dogma, will
show both the gcnuiness of his con-
version, and the ability of the man.
His vote and influence may always
De depended on when the battle is
joined as 1t is likely to be many times,
ere the pro-bond men understand
fully the nature of the real opposition
to the bond heresy.
In looking over the council we are
not afraid of a sudden lapse into the
bond infidelity. They are body of
men who have lived too long and felt
too much of the evils of the false iinan
cial doctrine to be very easily led off
after the ignis fatuus of debt. Their
energies will be expended in supply
ing the means necessary to pay cur
rent expenses, do work imperatiyely
demanded and pay off rs rapidly as
is consistent with those objects, the
debt already incurred. In this way
they will Ell eavor to fulfill the expec-
tations of the people who elected
them, and in this way only can they
do il.
We have no money to waste in
