PAYNE CLAIMS 245 VOTES.
He Sends Word to Mckinley Regard
ing the Result

Canton, O., Nov. a p. NH c.
Payne wired Major Mckinley from Re
publican headquarters as follows, Ad
vices this morning justify US as claim
ing surely safe the following: All new
England and middle states, West Vir-
ginia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan.
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Delaware,
and Oregon, 245 electoral votes, and
there is little doubt that we have car
ried California, Kentucky, North and
South Dakota, with % electoral votes
Major Mckinley slept several hours
in the middle of the day but arriving
delegations brought him out about
noon. A drilling rain which had set
in had no terrors for the crowds. Dele
cations from Minerva and Carrolton
aggregating 1 600 marched through the
rain their white suits dripping and
yelled until the major came to the
porch and waved them greeting. They
were followed by the uniformed club Of
the 39th ward, Cleveland, who were
similarly received. No speeches were
received. A feeling Of apprehension
over the result spread through Canton
at midday based on conflicting claims
and many an anxious inquiry was made
of the officials at the Mckinley home.
The doubt was not shared there and
the fullest confidence was expressed
that success was beyond question.

Mr.. Cleveland Issues His
Thanksgiving Proclamation.
He Sets Apart November 26 as
the Day.
TO CONFESS OUR SINS.
AdmOnishes All to Admit Err
rOr, Seek Forgiven ess.
Thankful For Deliverance From
Every Threatened Danger.

Washington, Nov. 5.-The president
last night issued the following Thanks
giving proclamation;
by the President of the United States
The people Of the United States
should be ever mindful of the graft
rude they owe the God of nations for
his WatchfuI care. He has shielded
them from 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 God
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 to-
gether in approaching the throne of
grace with praise and supplcation.
Therefore, I, Grover Cleveland, pres
ident Of the United States do hereby
designate and set apart Thursday, the
Goth day of the present month of No
vember, to be kept and observed as
day of thanksgiving and prayer
throughout our land.
On that day let all our people fore
go their usual work and occupation, and
assembled in their accustomed places of
worship, let them with one accord rem
der thanks to the Ruler of the Universe
for our preservation as a nation and
our deliVerance from every threatened
danger; for the peace that has dWelt
within our boundaries; for our defense
against disease and pestilence during
the year that has passed; for the plent-
eous rewards that have followed the
labOrs of our husbandmen; and for all
the other blessings that have been
vOuchsafed to us
And let us through the meditation
of Him who has taught US how to pray.
implore the forgiveness of our sins
and cOntinuatiOn 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
sight of the Lord.
Witness my hand and the seal of
the United States which I have caused
to be hereto affixed.
Done at the city of Washin gton. this
fourth day of November in the year of
our Lord, one thousand, eight hundred
and ninety-six. and of the independence
of the United States of America the one
hundred and twenty-first.

You can buy tooth brush at most any

For over two years we have sold them,
during which time we have only had two

the matter with the brush. The owner
had placed it in water and permitted it to
soak constantly. Any brush would resent
this. That was no fault of the brush.

one time, due to heavy receipts at the
ports and the interior towns, but the loss

bought here. A Liverpool cable said that
Neill would issue a circular advising pur-
