THANKSGIVING DAY. — The President Proclaims November 26th a Day of Genera! Thanksgiving. The president today issued the fol- ‘lowing Thanksgiving proclamation: By the president of the United States. The people of the United States should not be unmindful of the grati- tude they owe the God of nations, for His watchtul care which has. shielded them from disaster and pointed out to them the way of peace and happiness. Nor should they ever refuse to ack- nowledge with contrite hearts their proneness to turn away from God’s teachings and to follow with sinful pride after their own devices. To the end that these thoughts may be quick- ened, it is fitting that on a day especi- ally appointed we should join together in approaching the throne of grace with praise and supplication. Therefore I; Grover Cleveland, president of the United States, do hereby designate and set apart Thurs- day, the 26th day ofthe present month of November to be keptand observed as a day of thanksgiving and prayer throughout 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 a nation and our de- liverance from every threatened danger; for the peace that has dwelt in our boundaries;- for our detence against disease and pestilence during the year that has passed; for the plent- eous rewards that have tollowed the labors of our husbandry; and for all other blessing that have been youch- safed tous. And let us through the meditation of him who has taught us how to pray. implore the forgivness of our sins and a continuation of heaven- ly favor. Let us not forget on that day of thanksgiving the poor’ the needy and by deeds of charity let our offermgs of praise be made more acceptable in the name of Him. Witness my hand and the seai’of the United States which I have caused to be hereto affixed. Done at the city of Washinton, this 4th day of November, in the year of our Lord 1896, and of the independ- ence ot the United States of America the 121. . (Signed.

The Duluth Evening Herald has following to say, editorially, concern- ing Page Morris’ and we heartily e dorse the sentiments expressed therein: “The latest returns received from the western end of the district are disappointing to Mr, Towne’s friends. The vote there is much below what they had good reason to expect, and consequently there 1s little doubt that Mr, Towne has been defeated and that Tudge Morris has been elected to congress by a small, but sate majority. «It has been a long and bitter con- test, and Judge Morrismay feel proud of the victory which he has obtained, in the face of what, at the time he en- tered the field seemed certain defeat. There is no doubt that, as the Judge acknowledges, when he accepted the Republican nomination he had “but faint hope of success. The great campaign waged under the direction of the national. committee, however, had its effect, and Mr. Morris has polled a large. vote that, with less vigorous campaign, would not have been cast in his favor ‘The defection of the gold Democrats outside of Du- luth was greater than had been figured on by Mr. Towne’s friends but the chief factor in causing his defeat was the iron ranges. It was beyond pre- cedent and gave St. Louis county to Judge Morris. “But the fight has ended, and it is idle to speculate upon the reason which caused the result in tavor of the Republican candidate. That Judge Morris will prove an efficient and creditable representative ot the district in congress will be generally admitted, He has much ability anda capacity for hard work that form an_ essential combination for a congressman’ who would achieve success. He should now receive the hearty support of every citizen in the district. There will be much legislation, -to be obtained for the district in the next congress, and if Judge Morris receives strong .and earnest support at home in his efforts to secure that legislation, he will be able to achieve much more than he could possibly do in the face of fac- tious opposition here, Everyone who has at heart the interests of Du- luth and of the Sixth district generally will aid in strengthening Judge Morris’ hands when he goes to congress to work in our behalf.” Travelers, Attention!

Owing to some alleged 1rregulari- ties there is likely to be a contest over the office of clerk of court. P. H. Varley, who received the next nghest number of votes to I, D. Rassmussen, has some reason to believe that Mr. Rassmussen’s name did not appear in regular form npon the ballot, and it is further alleged that the word “Repub- lican” should not have been placed upon the ballot following the word will be entered.

Maine, 6; Maryland, 8; Massachusetts. 15; Minnesota, 93 Michigan,’ 14; North Dakota, 3; New Hampshire, 4; New Jersey, 10; New York, 36; Ohio, 23; Oregon, 4} Pennsylvania, 32; Rhode. Island, 4; South Dakota, 4; Vermont, 4; West Virginia, 6; Wisconsin, 12; Wyoming, 4; total, 269, which insures the elec- ‘tion bya majority of gz, in their elect- oral college, if every other electoral vote is lost. Iam confident that we shall secure other electoral votes as the returns indicate.”’ Chairman Jones of the Democratic national committee, has issued the! following address to the country : “The result of the presidential elec- tion is apparently no longer in doubt. It has been one of the closest contests | that the people have been called upon | to determine in recent years. We have claimed the election on our ad-} vises from states that admittedly were} in doubt, in which we knew there had | been many trauds and from which! there were evidences of tampering with the returns, It seems now to be apparent that while Mr. Bryan, after; making the most brilliant campaign in the history of our country and having carried most of the states claimed to be doubt- ful, has not carried enough to. assure his success in the electoral college. Bryan electors have been chosen from all of the states south of the Potomac and Ohio, except West Virginia, and all of those west of the Missouri, ex- cept California and Oregon. He has not obtained enough to carry the elect- oral votes. and thisnumber may be in- creased by final returns from states yet in question, He has not obtained enough to carry the electoral college. Thus this remarkable election closes with the election of William McKin- ley. The regult was brought about by every kind of coercion and intimida- tion on the part of the money power. including threats of lockouts, and dis- missals and impending starvation, by the employment of by far the largest campaign fund ever used in this coun- try, and by the subordination of the American press. The president-elect and: his party are under pledge to the American people to continue the gold standard, and by its operation to restore pros- penity to this country. As chief exec- utve, Mr. McKinley will haye the cordial support of the millions of pa- triotic Americans that have cast their votes for William Jennings Bryan. They bow to the majority, and abide by the result with none of the mutter- ings that would have come from the moneyed power had it been unsuc- cessful. ‘They are. confident the gold stand ara cannot give the promised prosper- ity but’ will gladly welcome it if it comes. They will continue the great struggle for the uplifting of humanity and the maintenance of the dignity of our country in the establishment of the American monetary system and the Democratic party, aided by its present allies, and will still uplift the bimetallic‘standard and bear it on to victory. in discussing the situation Chairman Jones said: “What defeated us was the action of large employers in telling their men they need not return to work on wednesday if McKinley was defeated. This unquestionably lost thousands of votes, for the man with a wife and little ones cannot help being moved by a prospect which threatens to deprive him of work and consequent means of sup- port. “But we have wona victory just the same, for I. do not believe any political party in this country will dare include the word gold in its platform in 1900. Whatever happens, how- ever, we shall not abandon our fight for silver, which is a just one and one buy a Beckwith Rounp Oak of us. We sell.it and it is right. W. J. & H. D.

Come in before you buy. on this question, and I firmly be lieve that Mr. McKinley will bend all his efforts toward the. securing of an: international agreement. He is friendly toward silver. There can be no doubt regarding that. His pubhc record proves that, and if he is con- fronted with a free silver bill—as I have little doubt he will be—I believe he will sign it “JI believe, moreover, that before the closing of his administration he will stand in about the same relation toward his party that President Cleveland does toward the Democratic party. The Western Republicans will unquestionably urge silver legislation upon hiin which of course, will be bitterly opposed by Eastern Republi- cans. He cannot please one without giving deadly offense to the other, and I think the result will be that he will alenmiate the Republicans of the East,” LUMBERMEN’S STATE BANK Grand Rapids, Minn. C. W.
