President Cleveland Appoints No
vember 20 as the Day.


According to the national custom, the fol-
| towing proclamation has been issued:
Constant thanksgiving and gratitude
are due from the American people to
Almighty God for His goodness and mercy,
which have followed them since the
day He made them nation and vouchsafed
TO them free government With loving
kindness DE has constantly led US in the way
Of prosperity and greatness He has not
visited with swift punishment our shortcom-
ings but with gracious care He has warned
US of our dependence upon His forbearance,
and has taught that obedience to His holy
law IS the price of a continuance of His pre-
ciOus gifts.
In acknowledgement of all that God has
done for US as a nation, and TO the end that
on an appointed day the united prayers and
praise of grateful country may reach the
Throne Of Grace, /, Grover Cleveland, Presi-
dent OF the United States, do hereby desig-
nate and set apart Thursday, the 29th day of
November inst, as a day of thanksgiving
and prayer to be kept and observed through
out the land.
On that day let all our people suspend their
ordinary work and occupati Cns, and in their
accustomed place of worship, with prayer and
songs of praise render thanks to God for all
His mercies. for the abundant harvests
which have rewarded the toll OF the husband
man 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
Oh trade and traffic, Let US give thanks for
within our borders, and for our advance
ment in all that adds to national greatness
And mindful of the affective diSpensation
with which a portion of our land has been
visited, let Us, while we humble ourselves be
fore the power of God, acknowledge His
mercy in setting bounds to the deadly march
of pestilence, and let our hearts be chastened
by sympathy with our fellow countrymen
who have suffered and who mourn
And as we return thanks for all the bless
lngs 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, SO that our
tribute OF praise and gratitude may be &C
eeptable in the sight of the Lord.

ioos to Democrats, or TO lovers of decent

poses TO vote for Ben Harrison, 1t is on other

The Ticket Is Respectable but the Tariff
Ia tho Main Point

The New York ECenin0 Post says: "The
ticket nominated at Chicago after such pro-
longed agony is not Of kind to excite much
enthusiasm. but is nevertheless o very re-
spectacle one, and for this we return thanks
without reserve or stint to the Republican
convention and Republican party. 1t is an
ideal condition IN politics when the public
have reasonable assurance that whichever
party is successful the dignity of the Ma
ton will receive no harm from the character
of the occupant of the Presidential chair
When it is remembered how much has been
escaped, how narrowly one great party has
avoided candidacy which would have
again made the personal issue the absorb
ing one Of the campaign, the feeling Of
thankfuiness is dcepened.
Mr.. Harrison is fair representative of
his party-not the best one, not so good as
Gresham would have been-not so com
manding a figure as Sherman but infinitely
better than Blaine He has not the per-
sonal qualities that attract the multitude.
pcr has he accumulated the renown which
belongs 70 an extended public career; but,
on the other hand, he has made none Of the
aatagonisms which are usually inseparable
from long period of public service, and
since his = record y is comparatively brief,
his opponents will find few points of attack
and his supporters viii have little to de-
fead. Ia brief, Mr.. Harrison is not stronger
than his party, but he is not weaker than
his party. His nomination leaves the field
cpen for the freest discussion of the prin-
ciples which divide the American people.
NJ Cleveland is stronger than his party,
but not 50 much stronger that the issues
arc likely to be obscured. It wiz be the
merit OF the coming campaign that 1t win
be fought mere distinctly on principles
than any other since the drst election Of
General Grant, which determined the re-
construction OF the Southern States.

rnIiana Horl1inr-nIen.

There y q a's1spicious tinge of worked-up
enthusiasm IN those accounts which are be-
ing furnished regarding the growing salts
faction with which Harrison's candidacy is
viewed in Indiana-a kind of measured un-
Gertone, which sounds very much as
though It were the work of paid claquers,
whose clumsiness prevents them from dis
guising the artifciality of their efforts.
The fact of the matter seems to be, saws
the st. Paul Globe, that General Harrison is
not at all the sort of a man to develop en-
thusiasm, and even in his own State,
where, presumably, he is best known, there
is marked and decided disapproval of his
candidacy from body of men whose favor
le must have to carry the State-the work.
ing-men.
General Harrison is in no respect in SYM
pathy with the werkin men. All of his as
sociatiCns and traditions incline him toward
the class which the laborng men regard as
thoroughly inimical to them. No portion Of
his record can be brought in evidence to
show that he has ever sympathized with
their legitimate longings and commendable
efforts to better their condition. On the
| ether hand, notably during the labor trou-
bles OF 1873, instances are frequent where
he displayed something very much akin to
hostility TO the interests of the working peo-
pie. Because Of these facts the working
men of Indiana have weighed General Har-
rison in the balance and have found him
wanting. Through their recognized State
ergan they call upon their Republican
brethren TO withhold from him their sup
pert, with little danger Of being refused.
Therefore, as the labor vote admittedly
holds the balance of power in Indiana, and
as the authoritative declaration is made
that it win not be cast for General Harri-
son, we fail to see upon what ground our
Republican friends base their assumption
that they win carry that, to them, all-impor-
tant State.

sixteen. While at Princeton he was ap-

he was member, junior orator, and ac-

mention by one of the leading New York
dailies. Hon. Barnes Compton, now q
member of Congress from Maryland, was
at the same time junior orator appointed
by another of the literary societies.
In 1851 he graduated at Princeton, and
having studied law under Judge Pearson
for two years, was admitted to the bar in
