ed by like proclamations from the
Governors of the several states which
have Republican administrsti ons.
1t Is remarkable, but no less q fact,
that the custom of issuing and COM
plying with such proclamations is
confined almost exclusively to the
States which complied with the call
of President Lincoln, in 1851, for
troops to put down the rebellion OF
the Democracy. The people OF this
country have much to be thankful
for, and they have never had SO
much real cause for gratitude as
now, and It will be observed In q
more general manner than formerly.
The truth is that the people have
been rejoicing ever since the result
of the elections 10 November 1895
were known, and the observance now
will only be a continuance of their
expressions of thankfulness.
