Again the Banner County.

Although the official vote of the
State has not yet been tabulated, and
the exact percentage of gain cannot
be correctly ascertained, all appear.
ances indicate that Forest County has
again won Chairman Cooper's prize
banner. AS we understand it, four
banners we're offered, on the same con.
ditions as last year; that is, the coun.
ty showing the greatest relative gain
over the Blaine vote of 1884 to receive
the first, the next best the second, aud
so on. Forest county's gain over the
Blaine vote is fraction over 80 per
cent, and We very much doubt if an.
other county can show up as we'll, and
if not then we will still be the Banner
County in Pennsylvania. Allegheny
county made big gains this year, and
thinks che has won the banner, but
when the vote is once computed she
will likely have to give up her claim.
But, of course, if Forest gets the ban.
ner, Crawford will want one, too. At
all events, we claim the prize. How
is it, Chairman "COPPER"

was considerably handicapped by the
third party movement made by a few
parties some two weeks previous 10
the election, as we'll as the illness of
his wife and son, which kept him from
making a canvass. T. p. Rynder is

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.

mia.
A PROCLAMATION.
Our pastures have been clothed
with hocks: our valleys also have
been covered with corn. The hus-
bandman has gathered his crops, and
his barns are filed with plenty. La
bor has found employment and en-
joyed in fair degree its just rewards.
Our manufacturers have been reason
ably maintained, and the busy wheels
OF commerce have been fully employ.
ed. Pestilence has been a stranger to
us, and no serious epidemic has de-
vastated our borders. Surely God
hath crowned the year with His good
ness, and His paths have dropped
fatness. His bounty demands our
praise and His unmerited goodness
calls for thanksgiving.
Let us, therefore, in deyout ack-
now Judgement of His unnumbered
benefits come together in our accus-
toned places of worship and about
the hearthstones Of the family, as rec
commended by the President of the
United States, on Thursday the Goth
day of November, to render thanks
for the blessings which we have re
ceived and to invoke the continuance
of the devine favor for the time TO
come. Let the day be one of glad
ness. Let us refrain from our ordI-
nary avocations and employments
and spend the time in the religious
and social enjoyments which befit the
occasion, and which, whilst they
honor God, bring comfort and enjoy
ment to ourselves.
The people of our goodly common.
wealth are no strangers to the obser.
vance of this day. Let the exception
al plenty Of the year lead to more
universal praise and thanksgiving.
Let us also show our thankfullness
by our charity and let not the minis
trations of the day find full measure
until some act ofkindness has brought
cheer to sorrowing heart or a smile
to careworn face.
In testimony whereof have here
unto set my hand and caused the
great seal of the State to be affixed
this 10th day of November in the
year of our Lord 1888 and of the
Commonwealth the 18th.

THE Republican majority in the
next Congress will be at least FIVE, and
may be nine, which is enough for all
practical purposes, and insures the
passage of legislation that has been
held back by the Democracy because
it promised anything but benefit to
them. 1t is to be hoped that when
the next Congress meets on March 4th,
1889, there will be no fooling about
admitting, as states, certain territories
that should long since have been ad.
mitted. That is what the Republican
majority will be there for.

CABINET TALK.

A staff correspondent of the Phila.
Press sends the following from New
York:
The news despatch in to.day's Press
that Mr.. Blaine would be placed at
the head of the State Department
under General Harrison's ADMINISTERS.
tion caused good deal of talk among
politicians here. Everybody agreed
that the President. elect would be more
than likely to recognize Mr.. Blaine's
position in the party with the offer of
the foreign portfolio. The only doubt
entertained was as TO Mr.. Blaine's vii.
lingness to accept. OF this there are
still two opinions. Mr.. Blaine's
coming visit to this city may be for
the purpose of comforting with others.
Though only ten days have gone by
since General Harrison's election, two
or three important communications
have passed between the President.
elect and some Of his close friends
here bearing on Cabinet matters. One
Of these gives new turn to the spec.
ulations and probably means the Sc.
lection of j. S. Clarkson, of Iowa, for
portfolio. General Harrison desires
to honor one member of the National
Executive Committee in this way.
Chairman Quay does not want the
distinction, and Colonel Dudley would
prefer to remain in private life. These
two men, with Mr.. Clarkson, prac.
tically ran the campaign and if the
selection is to be confined to the three
active managers, the Iowa newspaper
man is undoubtedly the one. Mr..
Clarkson has heretofore declined every
public Office rendered him. This ar.
rangement will bring two men into
the Cabinet from the other side of the
Mississippi River. The Pacific Slope
confidently counts on having a repre-.
sentative and hopes that it will be the
attorney general. 1 hear that it is
one of the few things which General
Harrison limited at during the cam.
paigu and the California men claim it
as promise.
John B. Henderson, of Missouri,
has just come out as candidate for a
place in behalf of the South. He
would like to have the Postofice De.
partment. General Harrison is likely
to have representative from that
section in his Cabinet, but if Congress.
man Nathan Gof, of West Virginia,
is counted out of the governorship, as
now seems likely, he will have first
call on any portfolio that is to 20
South. He has already served at the
head of the Navy Department.
1.-TWO things are certain 10 regard
to General Harrison's Cabinet" said
a well'informed gentleman to-day, and
one who helped make the Harrison
nomination at Chicago. "The first is
that Pennsylvania will have a place,
and the other is that Lew Wallace
will be secretary of war. The Penn
sylvania man, l believe, will be- John
Wanamaker. Mr.. Blaine will be
offered the State Department beyond
a doubt and there are indications that
be will accept. The most interesting
phase to me of this Cabinet talk is the
speculation about the man whom this
state will present. l feel confident
that his name will not be Warner
Miller. 1t strikes me as more proba.
bic that Elk Senator Platt will be
chosen. Mr.. Miller is thought to have
waived all his claims to a cabinet
place when be accepted the guberna,
torial nomination"

SENATOR Quay, chairman of the
Republican National Committee, said
to an Associated Press reporter Friday
afternoon that the Republicans would
certainly have control of the House
of Representatives by a majority of
five, and that their majority might be
nine. There we're several doubtful
districts, the result in which, he said,
would determine whether their majori.
ty would be the higher or the lower
figures given. Mr.. Quay declined for
the present to give any particulars
upon which his figures we're based or
to state what districts were still re.
garded as doubtful.
