CHARLES DICKENS, the son OF his

THE candidates of the democratic
party may sometimes go down in de-
feat, but its principles can never
perish The party will rise out of
this reverse purified, strengthened,
and more potent than ever before.
We have unbounded faith in the old
party yet. We regret the loss Of the
presidency, but are by no means dis
couraged or disheartened. We are
ready to begin right now an earnest
vigorous battle to retrieve some of
our congressional districts two years
hence, and the presidency again in
1892. Our democracy isn't Of the
kind that falters at the mere loss of a
sengle battle. The country has had
nearly four years of the best, cleanest
and purest government it has ever
known, and we believe the people
will be willing enough to bring back
democratic administration to power
four years hence. No true democrat
will desert the ranks. "All's well
that ends well" and democracy and
its undying principles are bound to
triumph in this county sooner or
later. The temporary discourage
ment will soon clear away, and the
democrats will be ready for another
fight long before the republicans are
done rejoicing over their victory.

A Proclamation By the President ofMe
United States. ,5, .Dt ...
Constant thanksgivings are due
from the American people to AL
mighty God for His goodness and
mercy which have followed them
since the day He made them a nation,
and vouchsafed to them a free govern
ment with loving kindness. He has
constantly led us in the way of pros.
perity and greatness; He has not
visited with swift punishment our
short comings, but with gracious care
He has warned us of our dependence
upon His forbearance and has taught
us that obedience to His holy law is
the price of a continuance of His
precious gifts. O''
In acknowledgment of all that God
has done for us as a nation and to the
end that on an appointed day the
united prayers of a grateful country
may reach the throne of grace, /,

United States, do hereby designate

instant, as day of Thanksgiving and
prayer, to be kept and observed
throughout the land. On that day
let all our people suspend their
ordinary work and occupations, and
in their accustomed places of wor-
ship, with praper and songs of praise,
render thanks to God for all His
mercies, for the abundant harvests
which have rewarded the toll of the
huSbandmen during the year that has
passed, and for the rich rewards that
have followed the labors of our people
in their shops and their marts of trade
and traffic. Let us give thanks for
the peace and for the social order and
contentment within our borders, and
for our advancement in all that adds
to national greatness, And mindful
of the affective dispensation with
which portion Of our land has been
visited let us while we humble our
selves before the power of God,
acknowledge his mercy in setting
bounds to the deadly march Of
pestilence and be chastened by
sympathy for our fellow countrymen
who have suffered and who mourn
And as we return thanks for all the
blessings which we have received
from the hands of our Heavenly
Father, let us not forget that He has
enjoined upon us charity, and on this
day of thanksgiving let us generously
remember the poor and needy, Sc
that our tribute of praise and graft
tude may be acceptable in the sight
of the Lord.

have Congress also. With full sway
of power, they will have ample OPP
