 All officials who have signed memo- rials in favor of reform have been dis- missed from office.

ELECTIONS IN STARK COUNTY.

The variation of the November vote
of Stark from year to year is notable,
and, we may say, quite unaccountable.
In 1892 the vote on President was,
Cleveland 1927, Harrison 9,23l.
In 1894, however, it was otherwise.
On secretary of state Turner, Democrat,
got 5,06l; Tayler, Republican, $3.50;
Martin, Populist, 4.O93; McCaslin, Pro.
hibitionist, 7S9.
In 1896, Campbell, for governor, had
7,49S votes in Stark; Bushnell, Republi.
can, $3.50; Coxey, Populist, 2,4Ss; Ellis,
Prohibition, 524.
In 1896 Bryan, Democrat, had II, 1,339
votes, Mckinley IL, ITO; Palmer, gold
26 and Levering, Prohibition, l29.
In 1897, Chapman, Democrat, for
governor got 9,6l3, Bushnell, 0,595.
1T will be seen that Bryan got l12
more votes in Stark county in 1896,
than Cleveland received in 1892, when
Mr.. Cleveland had a majority over Har
rison of 996.
There are other comparisons the in
telligent reader can make for himself,
which will be of interest. The foregoing
figures will do to file away for future
reference. They may come handy some
day.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

A. d. 1921.
IAnd now," said the governor, gazing abroad
on the piled up store
OF the sheaves that dotted the clearings and
covered the meadows DER,
" 'Tis meet that we render praises because of
this yield Of grain.
Tis meet that the Lord Of the harvest be
thanked for his sun and rain.
1And therefore l. william Bradford (by the
grace of God today
And the franchise Of this good people), govern.
or Of Plymouth, say
Through virtue Of vested power-ye shall

giving unto the Lord.
"He hath granted us peace and plenty and the
quiet we've sought so long.
He hath thwarted the willy savage and kept
him from doing us wrong,
And unto our feast the sachem shall be hidden,
that he may know
We worship has own Great Spirit who maketh
the harvests grow.
$50 shoulder your matchloclis, masters; there
Is hunting Of all degrees
And, fishermen, take your tackle and scour
for spoil the seas,
And maidens and danes Of Plymouth your
delicate crafts employ
To honor our first Thanksgiving and make IL
feast of Joy
1--WE fail Of the fruits and daintics so close to
our hand in Devon.
All, they are the lightest losses we suffer for
sake Of heaven
But see in our open clearings how golden the
melons lie
Enrich them with sweets and spices and give
us the pumpkin piel"
So bravely the preparations went on for the
autumn feast.
The deer and the bear were slaughtered; wild
game from the greatest to least
Was heaped in the colony cabins; brown home
brew served for wine,
And the plum and the grape OF the forest for
orange and peach and pine.
At length came the day appointed. The snow
had begun to fall,
But the clang from the meeting house belfry
rang merrily out for all,
And summoned the folk Of Plymouth, who
hastened with glad accord
To listen to Elder Brewster as he fervently
thanked the Lord.
In his seat safe Governor Bradford; men, ma
irons and maidens fair;
Miles Standish and all his soldiers, with corse-
let and sword, were there.
And sobbing and tears and gladness had each
in its turn the sway,
For the grave of the sweet Rose Standish
o'ershadowed Thanksgiving day.
And when Massasoit, the sachem, safe down
with his hundred braves
And ate Of the varied riches Of gardens and
woods and waves
And looked on the gTanaried harvest--with a
blow on his brawny chest,
He muttered, 1.-THE good Great Spirit loves his
white children bestl'
And then, as the feast was ended, with gravely
official air,
The governor drew his broadsword out from
its scabbard there,
And, smiting the trencher near him, he cried
in heroic way:
"Haill Pie of the pumpkinl dub thee prince
Of Thanksgiving dayl"

opposing retiring and holding their own
convention. This gave the state to the
Republicans; and the same or similar
cases operated in the other states.
Had we held our own in those five
states named, with the gains east and
south the Republicans would have been
in minority.
Mark Hanna stepped forward last
Saturday to claim the credit for this
victory. In an interview in the Leader
he said:
81 realized all along the importance of
these congressional elections and have
been personally supervising the elections
in the close districts, working nearly as
hard as | did in 1896, nevertheless, say
ing very little about them until now.
"The result could not be more favor
able. There will be clear majority in
the senate for the Republican party OF
10. This means that for or 10 years at
least we shall have a bar against all
vicious Democratic silver legislation.
The elections in states in the near future
means new senators from northern
states which are Republican"
He said also the tariff must be re-
adjusted since we have become heavy
exporters and the Dingley law does not
furnish the revenues needed. He favors
tax on tea and coffee.
