Thanksgiving Day.

The following is President HarriSOn'S proc
lamation appointing Thursday, November 24th
as Thanksgiving day.
''The gifts of God to our people during the
past year have been so abundant and so spec
ial that spirit of deyout thanksgiving awaits
not the call only, but the appointment of the
day when it may have common expression.
He has stayed the pestilence at our door.
He has given us more love for free civil insti-
buttons, in the creation of which His directing
providence was so conspicuous; He has ava
kened deeper reverence for the law; He has
widened our philanthropy by call to succor
distress in other lands; He has blessed our
schools and is bringing forward patriotic
and God fearing generation to execute His
great and benevolent designs for our country;
He has given us great increase in the material
wealth and wide diffusion of contentment and
comfort in the homes Of our people; He has
given His grace to the sorrowing.
"Wherefere I, Benjamin Harrison, Presi-
dent of the United States, do call upon all
our people to observe, as we have been wont.
Thursday, the twenty-fourth day of this
month of November, as the day of thanks
giving to God for His mercies, and supplica-
ton for His continued care and grace.
Sin testimony whereof, l have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed. Done at the city of
Washington, this fourth day of November,
one thousand eight hundred and ninety-two
and of the Independence of the United States
the one hundred and seventeenth.

leg, having parted company with his right
arm in an accident several years before the
war.
During the last campaign he was stumping
Mississippi and stopped over night at hotel

the governor. and in few moments typical

Laying it upon the table he gave the limb a
long and careful examination, but was sud-

reclining soldier and then started for the

It required innumerable threats, explana-

bed, but finally a large portion of the COVER

bursting into the Office shouted. "Oh Massa

FRIDAY MORNING. NOV. II, 1892.
THE GREAT VICTORY.

The grandest of achievements which will
go down in history portraying the progress
of our country. will be the political revo-
luton which restores Grover Cleveland to
the Presidency of the United States. Calm
" and quietly the millions OF voters con-
sidered ard reviewed thesituation i'll which
the country had been placed under the Re-
publican rule of Mr. Harrison, which was
rapidly transferring our destiny from that
of generally rising prosperity to which it
had attained under the administration OF
Mr.. Cleveland from 1855 to 1889, to the de-
plOrable condition which naturally destroys
all the characteristics Of free government.
The reflections arising under the surround
ings of this day teaches lessons Oh
supreme value. How grand and glorious
are those eternal principles of Democracy,
which again are elevated to their rightful
position, as the years of American liberty
and free government are moving along.
And how grandly does the heart of every
true American beat in union with that OF
our great chief. under whose firm teachings
we have planted the banners of govern
ment by the people and for the people, up
on the citadal Of the Republic.
In this time of rejoicing in our victory,
we cease not to remember the associate on
the National Democratic ticket. that noble
citizen of Illinois whose name was the syno-
nym of success. The great State which he
honors has turned from he supposed adhe-
renee to the Republican dynasty, to lofty
elevation in the Democratic column.
Turning to our own Virginia, though he
set on every hand with complications; in
vain have the factions sought to throw her
from her moorings. Increased majorities
where the battle waged the fiercest greet our
State committee, and the brave and indie
fatigable Chairman, MI. Gordon, and his
associates in council, and our untiring
electors and canvassers.
Of the canvass made by our Congression-
al candidates, no work could have been better
executed, and coming down to our own in
yincible Harry Tucker, see how supremely
his own town and his own county lead the
way, as others of the Tenth district move
up the figures Of his majorities, in recogni-
ton Of able and faithful services rendered
on all the lines Of duty and patriotism, as
he knows so well how to perform the OBJ
legations of the representative.
Rejoice then freemen everywhere, for
oppressive tyrany under the guise of pre-
tended liberty and equality for the people
sinks into it's own selishness for the few it
was designed to make our masters. Infa-
NOUS tariff laws and the plotted ruin of
Southern civilization; must stand back, for
our brethren of the North, the East and
the West have stepped boldly forward and
arrested the dagger aimed at our hearts.
Let us all take fresh courage, remembering
that ''eternal vigiIence is the price of lib
