No Fraud.
louisville Courier-Journal)

The state of Kentucky has never yet
cast her electoral vote as the result of
fraud. and we trust that the officials
charged with the final counting Of the
vote will see to it that this fair record
shall not now be broken.
Kentucky can afford to vote for Mckin-
ley. as choice between Mckinley and
Bryan; she can even afford to vote for
Bryan; but she cannot afford to tarnish
her good name by registering fraudu-
lent result. -.
Let strict justice be done. it matters
not whom it may help or hurt. No
party can profit in this state by crooked
methods, and the fact that the Republi-
cans are in power should make them de-
termned to see that the count shall be
above suspicion.
We believe that Mckinley has carried
Kentucky by 10000 plurality. Whatever
the true result shall be found. let it be
fearlessly declared, whether that, result
be that the state has gone for Mckinley
or for Bryan. If fraud has been perpe-
rated let not those guilty of it profit by
it. Let the fraudulent returns be thrown
out. whether in favor of Bryan or,Mc-
Kinley. and let the honest vote or the
state be announced, without any con-
siderafon for the gudgeons whoe betson
the result. If they don't lose their money
on this election they will lose 1t on some
thing else.

A Thanksgiving With Much to Be Thankful 70,

Thanksgiving day, 1896. is indeed one
with much to be thankful for. OF the
occasion in a general sense, it may be
well to say that so long as the day re-
tains as one of it's chief characteristics
the spirit of family reunion there will
be slight cause for worry lest the OBJ
servance of it shall deteriorate
to an alarming extent. Along with the
joy of feasting and good cheer there
will come thoughts awakened by the
reuniting of families, and to those not
days when they were, that will in no
inconsiderable measure hallow the oc-
casion and incline the mind to re-
Election upon the bounties and bless
ings we have and away from the un-
pleasant things we would be rid of, and
arouse in the heart of the very great
majority a sense of real gratitude.
Throughout the length and breadth
of this land this should be an especially
memorable Thanksgiving by reason of
the abundant cause for thankiulness.
Our ce9ps have been unusually bounti-
full. so much SO that profits to the pro-
duceEs h4se been lessened, it is true,
but in every household where the men,
bers thereof have been able to SOW and
reap there is the blessed assurance that
hunger is debarred for one long cold
| winter at least. knowledge of the
famine and restitution hanging like a
pail over some countries will help us

tnde Of the blessings Of abundance in

made in the open. There are some dis
eases that are like pickpockets. They
are sneaks. II men only knew it, these
sneaking diseases are more to be dreaded
than small -pox or yellow fever. The
sneaking disease begins with some slight
disorder of the digestion and sluggish ac-
ton of the bowels. The blood becomes
disordered and the body receives insuffi-
Gent or improper nutriment. Emacia-
ton follows and the sufferer is troubled
with nervous prostration, brain fag, and
debility, and very likely falls victim to
that dread destroyer. consumption. All
this happens before the sufferer fairly
realizes that he is in danger.
These sneaking diseases that undermine
mans constitution, and rob him of his
health are conquered by DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. It puts
strength into every fiber Of the BODY and
replaces the lethargy of sickness with the
buoyancy Of health. 1t is the best blood
maker and flesh builder known to science.

may be well to allude. The era of hard
times is nearing a close. Confidence

hostile classes in this country has given
place to that which is more sensible
and now that no one sees any political
advantage to be gained otherwise it is
universally admitted that the East and
the North in a country like ours can
not receive benefit without the West
and South sharing in it. The number
of those who think the interests of the
employer and the employee necessarily
clash is strikingly less than a short
time ago. common impulse to make
the most of the prosperity that in the
nature of things cannot be much longer

settled feeling is in the place where I'M

has our nation commanded such wide

have been subjected to ordeals more
severe than that from which we recent

nation demonstrated that the COM

ton and subjected to the influences of
reason and common sense which are
given such free rein in this land. may
be trusted and must be respected and
