Washington, Nov. 1.-The Pres
ident 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 gratitude 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 ac-
knowledge with contrite hearts
their prOneness to turn away from
Gods teachings and to follow with
sinful pride after their own de-
vices. To the end that these
thoughts may be quickened, it is
fitting that on day specially APP
pointed we should join together in
approaching the throne of grace
with praise and supplication.
Therefore, |, Grover Cleveland,
President Of the United States, do
hereby designate and set apart
Thursday, the Goth day of the
present month of November, to be
kept and observed as day of
thanksgiving and prayer through
out our land. On that day let all
our people forego their usual work
and occupation and, assembled in
their accustomed places of worship,
let them with one accord render
thanks to the Ruler of the Universe
for our preservation as nation
and dcliverance from every threat
ened danger; for the peace that
has dwelt within our boundaries ;
for our defence against disease and
pestilence during the year that has
passed; for the plenteous rewards
that have followed the labor of our
husbandmen; and for all the other
blessings that have been youch.
safed to us.
And let us, through the mediation
of Him who has taught us how to
pray, implore the forgiveness Of
our sins and continuation oil
heavenly favor.
Let us not forget on this day Of
thanksgiving the poor and needy
and by deeds Of charity let our of
ferings of praise be made more ac
ceptable in the light of the Lord
Witness my hand and the seal o
the United States, which l have
caused to be hereto affixed.
Done at the city of Washington
this 4th day of November, in th'
year of our Lord one Thousand
eight hundred and ninety-six ant

States of America the one hundred

TnE newspapers are crowded
with mention of important indus
tries all over the country that have
resumed operation since the cleo
ton. Everything now promises
good times. Gold is to be had at
nearly all the banks in exchange
for other currency. and, singularly
enough, there is scarcely anybody
that wants il. Large sums IF gold
have been deposited in the banks
all over the country, private hold
ers no longer fearing that gold
will go to IL premium. The Treas
ury gold reserve is rapidly increas-
ing and the Government appears
TO be not AT all eager for the in
crease. These facts refute the
ante-election charge that the i'm
ports of gold were for political
effect. There seems now no likeli-
hood of another raid on the Treas
ury gold and no necessity of an.
other bond issue as long as there is
no threat of a change to the silver
Is to | standard. Still, if the Re
publican party is wise it will pro-
vide for the retirement of the green
backs and Treasury notes redeem
able on demand. With no necessi-
ty for redemption there will be no
need of the $IOO,OO0,OOO gold re-
serve and no reason for future
bond sales on that account.

THE total vote on the free turn
pike question was 2,l77, with ma
jorIty of 405 in favor of free turn
pixies. Had the subject been agi.
tated more the vote and majority
would have been much larger. We
have been satisfied for a long time
that the people wanted turnpikes
free of toll. We have believed. and
still are firm in the conviction, that
il il IA mistaken policy and believe
that experience will show that the
burden will only be increased and
shifted To the shoulders of the al
ready complaining tax payers. 1t
has been stated recently in some of
the newspapers that the total tax
rate of the Ohio counties bordering
on the Ohio river were 50 t. 81
Free turnpikes are partially re-
spOnsible for such enormous taxa
tion. still, our people want no toll
collected at the toll gates. and their
will il supreme. We trust all will
| patiently wait until the county ac-
quires the roads by due purchase
and just payment.

Men .UCkN cast IA total vote of
81 .i..J In the Presidential election
y 1858. Clevehnd's piuraIit, over
Harrison was 1850. In 1892 there
were $50. S26 votes east, and lrNe.
lands plurality over Harrison was
40.020. There were 23.50O Popu-
list votes cast, and 6,424 Prohibi-
zion. In 1895 there were 35I.057
votes cast. and Bradley's plurality
over Hardin was S,9l2. There were
1871 Populist votes cast. In 1896
there were about 425. 900 votes east,
and McKinley's plurality over
Bryan is about 4i4.
The Democratic sound money de-
lection undoubtedly beat Hardin,
although a large majority of the
sound-money Democrats supported
him. This year in the fusion
nearly the total Populist vote was
cast for Bryan. In addition Bryan
received several thousand Rrpubll-
can silverite votes. Still the Dem
ocratic 10000 plurality of 1892
was more than overcome, showing
that silverism and fusion have cost
the Kentucky Democratic party its
plurality and supremacy in the
