THANKSGIVING.

STATE OF KANSAS, EXECUTIVE De
PARTMENT, TOPEKA, KAN, Nov. 10.
lSSS.-During the year now drawing to
a close the people of Kansas have been
abundantly blessed. Pestilence has
not invaded our borders; throughout
the greater part of the state the har-
vests have been bountiful; our institu-
lions of learning have fiourished; our
industries have been busy and prosper
GUS; generous provisions have been
made for the care of the unfortunate
and afflicted. l do therefore designate
Thursday, November 20, as a day of
public thanksgiving, and do request
that the people assemble on that day in
their usual places of worship to ac-
knowledge the kindness and bounty of
God. And do suggest that while re-
turning thanks for the blessings show
cred upon them, the prosperous people
of the state should generously remem-
Der those who are destitute and thus
make the day an occasion of general
thanksgiving.
In testimony whereof, l, John a,
Martin, governor of the state Kansas.
have hereunto set the great seal of the
state. Done at the city of Topeka, in
the year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and Lightweight. and of the
Independence of the United States the
one hundred and thirteenth year.
BY the Governor. JOIN Il. MARTIN.
K, j. ALLEN, Secretary of State.

Secretary of State.

The official count of the vote i'm Mis-
souri, makes Cleveland's plurality D.
j32 and his majority 1925. On the
state ticket Francis has a plurality of
10, 23l, but the number of votes which
he received is 5,l04 less than those re-
ceived by all the other candidates in
the field. In 1884 Governor Marina
dukes plurality was 1926 and his
majority was $40. The Prohibition and
Union Labor vote this year on governor
aggregates 1925, as against n third
party vote in 1854 of 1925. President
Cleveland's plurality i'm the state in
1884 was S0,92G, which shows a falling
off this year Of 1914. The total vote in
the state in 1854 was al ,07O as against
SO ,0S9 this yeaf, making gain of 49,
Ol0 votes.

Senator Voorhees, says that the cause
of the defeat was because the time was
too short tor thorough discussion of
the tariff question. lie says the work
ingmen of the cities who have better
facilities than the farmers to educate
themselves upon the economic questions
understood the issue and stood by the
Democrats; and as the losses sustained
were IN the agricultural states, he
thinks It Is apparent that the educating
campaign was not Insugurated in time
to reach the class that would receive the
most benefit from lower taxation-thc
farming class. lie says that the party
though defeated, is stronger, the issue
is stronger. and The people are stronger
of faith in the issue Of tariff reform
than at any time before the election
and the educating campaign OF 1892 is
nov open, not to close till reform has
heen accomplished.

Watterson invites them. lie prints

stare Mr.. Harrison in the face, just as
it now stares Mr.. Cleveland. 1t must
be got rid of, either by reduced taxation
or by extravagant appropriations. The
smallness of the Republican majority
forbids that the latter policy should be
adopted. 1t will not be safe to inaugu-
rate a system of national prohigacy in
order to empty the treasury. AS little
will it be safe to repeal the whisky tax
i'm order to maintain imposts on the
necessaries of life. The masses have
got an inkling for the first time that the
tariff is a tax on consumption, and,
therefore, an undue and unjust burden
upon labor. They are not likely to for
get anything that they have learned in
this campaign of education

The Republicans must have had a
mint of money to use during the late
campaign. 1t is now said that the
manufacturers of the east contributed

to put the Republicans in power. They
are clearing five hundred millions of
dollars annually by reason of being pro-
tected. The Democrats had no money
to spend, or at least they did not spend
any. Every niggardly federal appointee
took refuge behind the civil service law
aud declined to put up, and there was
no Dudley in the party to make those
who danced pay the fiddler.

1t appears to be the opinion of those
best posted that the recent Republican
victory will have the effect Of making
more vicious and worthless the bad
class Of negroes in the south-the ele-
meBt that hangs around the cities and
makes politics support them. il is safe
to look for riots and bloodshed in the
south. The negro politician thinks that
now the world is his and in this belief
he will be encouraged by the designing
Republican carpet-baggers who will
flock to the south for Office AID gho can
not list except by the encouragement
and support on ..he negroes.

We will double the st. John vote OF four
years ago. If It had not been for the
tariff issue, which cut us both ways,
carrying over to the Democrats the free

Leans the protection Prohibitions, we
would have polled 100000 votes in the

OF the party are very bright. The organ
