PRESIDENT CLEVELAND TAKES
THE OPPORTUNITY TO
ISSUE IT.
ON THE 18TH Day OF NOVEMBER
All Good People Are Urged to Thank the
Ruler of the Universe for the MANY
Blessings Bestowed Upon Us
by Providence.

Washington, Nov. 4.-The president
today issued the following THANKSGIVING
proclamation:
by the President of the United
States-The people of the United States
should never be unmindful of the graft.
tude they owe the God of nations for his
watchful care which has shielded them
from dire disaster and pointed out to
them the way Of peace and happiness.
Nor should they ever refuse to acknowl-
edge with contrite hearts their proneness
to turn away from Gods teachings and
to follow with sinful pride after their
own devices To the end that these
thoughts may be quickened. it is fitting
that on a day especially appointed we
should join together in approaching the
throne of grace with praise and suppli-
cation. Therefore |, Grover Cleveland,
president of the United States, do here
by designate and set apart Thursday,
the 10Th day of the present month of
November, to be kept and observed as Il
day Of thanksgiving and prayer through
out our land.
"On that day let all our people forego
their usual work and occupation and as
semble in their accustomed places of wor-
ship, let them with one accord render
thanks to the Ruler of the universe for
our preservation as a nation and our de-
liverance from every threatened danger
of the peace that has dwelt within our
boundaries, for our defense against dis
ease and pestilence during the year that
has passed, for the plenteous rewards
that have followed the labors Of our hus-
bandmen, and for all the other blessings
that have been vouchsafed to us. And
let us, through the mediation of Him
who has taught us how to pray, implore
the forgiveness of our sins and a contin-
uation Of heavenly favor.
Let us not forget on this day of
thanksgiving the poor and needy, and by
deeds of charity let our offerings of
praise be made more acceptable in the
light of the Lord.
witness my hand and the seal of the
United States, which l have caused to
be here affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this
Nth day of November, in the year of our
lord, one thousand, eight hundred and
pinety-six and of the independence of the
United States of America the one hun
jred and twenty-frst.

NEWS CONFIRMED.

New York, Nov. 4.-The report that
the Fort Worth and Denver system re.
ceivership is to be at once terminated
is confirmed and the information given
to bondholders that it is proposed to
make an immediate adjustment in ac-
cOrdance with the reorganization plan
with the holders of overdue coupons.
The committee asked for the termina-
ton of the receivership through the Mer-
camille Trust company, which states to
the court that it is instructed by the
bondholders to waive the claims on ac-
count of interest overdue and dismiss
its suit with the consent of the court.

a message sent to President Cleveland

the patriots of the country, rejoice at
the triumphant vindication accorded you.

LANHAM'S VICTORY SWEEPING

Fort Worth, Tex, Nov. 4.(SDecial.)-
1t will not be possible to get the full vote
of Tarrant county prior to tomorrow. as
the district county precincts are not in

cluded. 1t is conceded that Lanham's
victory in the Eighth district is sweep
ing. His friends claim, and with show
of reason. that his majority over Jcn-
kins will exceed 2500. Smith. national
democrat. has possibly polled 1900 votes
in this district. 1t can be safely said
that Tarrant has given all democratic
nominees approximately $500 majority.
