THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.

In conformity with established custom and
in devout recognition of its holy character /
do hereby designate Thursday, the 29th day
OF November, inst, to be observed as II day
OF praise and thanksgiving to Almighty God
tor His gracions dealings with us us a state
and as individuals during the year now draw
ing to a close.
1t is fitting that we, to whom the lines have
fallen in pleasant places, whose heritage is
peace prosperity and liberty, should perpet-
uate this holy custom instituted by our faith
ers while dwelling under the shadow OF pesti-
lence and famine on the shores OF hostile
wilderness, enduring hardship and danger
that humanity might recover its rights.
Let us, therefore, assemble in the usual
places of public worship and ascribe unto sod
the honor due His glorious name; and in the
reunion of families and friends, and in deeds
of love and charity, give expression to the
gratitude we feel toward Him in whom we
live and have our being.
Given under my hand and the seal of the state,
in Executive Chamber at Montpelier, this
7th day OF November, in the year of our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and
eighty-eight, and OF the Independence OF
the United States the one hundred and
thirteenth.

pathies were so little with the people
and strongly with corporations and land
mOnopolists that it required a most eX-
traordinary public admonition from the
President-such as no cabinet officer
ever received in any country-to hold
him to his plainest duty in the important
land reform question.
The President of the United States is
not an autocrat. He is the head of a
popular government, and he cannot sue
ceed unless he watches and conforms
himself to the general public opinion.
He cannot know this as he ought unless
he surrounds himself with men capable of
feeling it, having such relations to their
their party and to the people as make
them safe and intelligent guides.
But what could Garland of Arkansas !;
Lamar of Mississippi; Bayard of Della
ware and the ambrosial shades, or Eudi-
colt of Boston tell Mr.. Cleveland about
the wishes of his party, the judgment of
its leaders, or the general public opinion?
Or how could he hope to strengthen his
party and bind it together with such men
as his advisers? Mr.. Garland and Mr..
Endicott were as good as dummies. They
have not even been competent clerks. If
he had whitfield a couple of effigies out of
white pine they would have been just as
useful to him. Mr.. Lamar was con-
stant clog upon Mr.. Cleveland's honest
efforts at land reform. As for Mr.. Bay
ard, he went on loftily from blunder to
blunder, from eXtradition treaty to fish
cry treaty, from Kelley to Saclville, and
at every step managed to make the adj
ministration needlessly odious to some
body.
In his stubborn retention of these men
in defiance of his party's and of general
public opinion, Mr.. Cleveland may find
another cause of his defeat.
That defeat we regret; but we are
bound to hope that Mr.. Harrison will
profit by his predecessors mistakes aud
surround himself with men who have the
confidence of their whole party and of
the general public, and who will be able
to give him intelligent advice on public
affairs, and conduct their departments in
manner which will win the public con-
tidence and regard.

BEYOND A DOUBT.

The Republicans won in the national
election, and the victory is so decisive
as to put the choice of the people beyond
a doubt. The full results are given on an
other page.
Why the Democrats failed the New
York Herald undertakes to tell in an
article published elsewhere. Its reasons
may not be very satisfactory. but are in
teresting as coming from Democratic
source.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

There were but four-not fourteen, as
we enormously stated-third-party votes
cast in New Haven at last weeks cleo
ton.
The Montreal Star gives the whole
thing away, saying: ''In England the
result of the Presidential election is re-
ceived with disappointment. The Brit
Democratic party would continue in Of
flee and that the tariff would be lowered,
thus allowing of the admission of Brit
ish-made goods. But this hope is knocked
on the head
