WEEKLY S TIMES. J. A. FOUCHK, Kdltor. Entered at the postoflice at McDonough Oa., as second-class mail matter. McDonough. Ga., Nov. Is, 1892. All True. Latest news confirm the election of Cleveland and Stevenson by the enor mous majorities claimed. All the doubtful states are conceded to the Democrats, while even Ohio is claimed by them, though it will require the official count to decide this. The consolidated vote will show Cleveland’s majority to be nearly 000,- 000, the most wonderful in American history. The following brief compilation of the latest returns show the present sit uation : Cleveland’s electoral vote 300, Har rison 112, Weaver 32. Cleveland has carried the entire south, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, five electoral votes in Michigan, New Jersey, New York, 'Wisconsin, Califor nia and Ohio, give Liming a total of 300 electoral votes. Harrison has carried lowa, Maine, Massachusetts, eight electoral votes in Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington and Wyoming, giving him a total of 112 electoral votes. Weaver carried Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Nebraska, Nevada and South Dakota, a total of 32 electoral votes. The house of representatives will have 100 Democratic majority and the senate will be controlled by the Dem ocrats and the Farmers Alliance. From returns up to date the United States senate will stand forty-two Dem ocrats, forty one Republicans and five People’s party. The Democrats gain senators in New York, Wisconsin and California. The fusionists get senators from Kansas, Nebraska and Nevada. Wyoming is in doubt. It is possible it may be Third party. After the 4th of March next, the Democrats will be in full control of the government. They will have the president, the senate, and the house of representatives, while the chief justice and several of the justices of the su preme court are Democrats. Democ racy may have an absolute ma jority of the United States sen ate ; certain it is, that the Republicans will be in the minority. The present populist senators, Kyle and Peffer, are with the democrats on the tariff and oth er great issues. Those who will prob ably be chosen as a result of this elec tion will be the same. Thus the demo crats are certain to control the senate and it is probable they will have a ma jority of straight democrats. The pres ent republican majority is six. A change of three will make the body a tie with the decisive vote in the vice president. A chauge of four gives a majority of two against the republicans. The terms of eight Democratic sena tors expire March 4th, but each of the states they represent have elected Dem ocatic legislatures. The Democrats will have the senate, and can admit New Mexico and Ari zona, which will, perhaps, be one of the first acts of the new congress. The admission of these teriitories will give the Democrats four more senators, or absolute control of the body, without the aid of the People’s party senators. The enormous Democratic majority of 144 in the house has been cut down. The majority will probably now be be tween eighty and oue hundred. National Thanksgiving. The President has set apart Thurs day,'the 24th of November, as a national day of Thanksgiving. If ever our people had cause for returning thanks it is at the preseut time. The earth has produced abundautly, file price of their products have been much better than was first anticipated, and it seems that the horn of plenty has la terally poured its blessings in ample profusion over our county and state. Besides the blessings innumerated we have escaped from auy plague—no deadly breath of life destroying dis ease has spread over our section leav ing desolation in its wake, but the ruddy glow of health still lingers in the cheeks of our loved ones. No rushing, roaring flood, nor blighting drouth has been visited upon us, but every touch of Dame Nature in each suc- ceeding season has been as kindly ca ressing as a mother fondling her first born. The only shadow that has at all darkened our horizon was of a politi cal nature. At one time it seemed that that party which has ever beeu as -ag octopus on the body politic, and whose arms reached out to this broad southland to circumscribe and ciush out our Industries and to retard our progress, would, through the un thoughted action of some of our friends and brethren and those who suffered under the same misrule, by their actions, in trying to shake themselves loose from the tenacious teuacles of this political organization, but help to perpetuate it in power ; but thauks be to a just God, whose ear is so delicately tuned that the moan of even an an guished heart strikes upon it in thun der tones, as it were, demanding justice, he has hoard the cry of his people for a true government, by and for the peo ple, and has poured out to them a grand vic.ory at the ballot box. 'Thank God that you are living. Thank Him for your blessed wife and sweet little children. Return thanks that you live in a laud of churches, where you can worship according to the dictates of your own conscience. Thank Him for the election of such an upright man as Grover Cleveland to direct the grand old ship of state for the oncoming four years. Thank Him that a God-loving and God-fearing man, TVm. J. Northen, has been elected to preside as chief ex ecutive over this the Empire State of the south. Return thanks for the kind neighbors aud loving friends with whom you mingle. Yea, thauks be unto Jehovah for the multitude of mercies and blessings that have been showered upon our ungrateful heads day by day. Let every one pour forth from hearts filled with thankfulness their meed to the “Giver of everv good aud perfect gift.” Cleveland and Cotton. In addition to the feeling of confi dence and general rejoicing all over this country, the news of Mr. Clcvo land’s election caused an unprecedent ed advance of cotton in Liverpool, which advance was maintained here and now promises 9 cents for cotton again. The Republican party has always favored a strong, centralized govern ment, aud has at the same time been the party of monopolists and million aires, while the Democratic party has always been favorable to the sovereign rights of states, with only such powers to the general government as were del egated by the states—at the same time it has been the party of the people, and has stood for such laws as would be of the greatest good to the greatest number. Yet the long continuation ol the Republican party in power, and their effort to shut off the commercial intercourse of other nations by a high tariff, to the injury and damage of the laboring classes of this country, in or der to bolster aud sustain vast monop olies which had already grown rich from the hard toil of American labor, had brought about such a spirit of dis satisfaction with the great masses of our people that the public confidence was greatly weakened aud our people were ready almost to go into any new party for a change. Certain dema gogues, willing to make any sort of political sacrifice for their own ugrandizement, undertook to make our people believe that the Demo cratic party was responsible for all these ills; and with this sort of idea, formulated platforms, resolutions and demands which were as wild aud vis ionary as anything that Mulberry Sel lus ever conceived. Thus it was with the iron hand of the Republican party on oue side and the wild schemes of tlfb Third party on the other, things went from bad to worse. Cotton went dowu because the Republican party throttled the foreign aemaud through the tariff. Money wits scarce because capitalists were afraid to put money where Third party ideas seemed to pre vail. The people saw starvation star ing them in the face, because under the iniquitous tariff law and the geueral depression brought about by the Re publican and Third parties they saw no means of escape. In common par lance, we were “Between the devil and the deep blue sea.” But “there is a destiny that shapes our ends, rough hew them as we may,” and on the Bth day of November, 1892, the truth be ing mighty did prevail, and the grand old Democratic party, the party of the people, the party that first enunciated the doctrine of “equal rights to all and special privileges to none,” took firm hold of the reins of the government of these United States, with Grover Cleveland in the saddle and both feet in the stirrups, the sunshine of pros perity immediately threw its bright rays all over this fair land of ours and reflected them oti the shores of foreign countries, till there was absolute re joieing among the people of distaut Chili. The very moment it was know n in England that the Democratic party was in power, thereby insuring larger fields for the vast products of the great cotton mills of Manchesster and Old ham the demand for the fleecy staple was increased, and the news flashed across the Atlanta cables, and the res ult was almost an immediate restoration of the old price of our chief staple and with it the promise of better times and renewed confidence and brotherly feel ing. ft'ca la Democratic party. Now in conclusion to my friends of the Third party in Henry county: Can you louger doubt P Is there now any reason for not coming back into the Democratic patty. It was the party of your fathers; it has now fufllled ! all its promises. It has brought us better times already. You were hon estly deceived by the leaders of the visionary so called People’s party, It was never the party of the people -000,000 majority shewed which was the people’s | arty. The patty led by- Weaver was the party of the deruago gues, that dtcieved the people. Let us all come together and elect the straight Democratic ticket in January for coun ty officials by an overwhelming major ity, and together we will all go to great er prosperity and better deeds. T. D. S. Contests to He Had. News is given out that Hon. Thos. E. Wats n, of the 10th congressional district w ill contest the seat of Hon. J. C. C. I Hack, and that Mr. C. F. Turner, of this district will coutest the seat of Hon. T. B. Cabdiss, Notices of these contests have been Sled with the Governor. What is proposed to be accomplished by these two con testants is hard to divine, espe cially when they were so overwhel mingly defeated at the polls. But such contest is the last resort of defeated candidates whose thirst for office is uuquenchable. I’AVfiK’S CHAPEL. Plenty rain.

Cotton is about all gathered aud sold, but still numbers of people have not paid their debts, on account of short crop and low prices. Old Guard. In Memorlam. John Silvey, son of G. B. and Sa rab Branan, aged 2 years, 8 months and 2 days, departed this life Septem ber 23d, 1892. Little John was a lov ing child. Though badly afflicted lor near a year with spinal disease, be would bear it all patiently. Many times have his little feet walked over the yard bearing the aching body ; and little did the parents aud friends think when the morning of the 23d of Sep tember opened bright, that before the sun set behind the western hills he would be freed from paiu and sorrow aud his little feet walking the streets of the New Jerusalem; but God saw fit and sent the angels to escort him home. But as the sweet voice that morning cried, that mother whose ear was al ways quick to hear his voice, knew there was something strange in it. She ran to him and took him up. She oloselo held within her arms A jewel rare— Never had one so rich and pure Engaged her care. ’Twaß her own, her precious John; God gave it to her. ’Twas hers—who else con’.d care for it So tenderly? But the dear Master comes that day Her gem to take. I cannot let it go, she caied, My heart would break. Nav, but the Master comes for it To bear above; To deck his royal diadem, Hh comes iu love. Hut, Master, it is my treasure, My jewel rare. I ll siitely guard and keep it pure, And very fair. If thou keepest my John, He said, He may be lost. The threshold of my home no thief Haa ever crossed. And where the heart’s rich treasure is The heart will be. Your John will be safe above, Gone before thee. The Master said these words And gazed with pitying look, While in the early hush of morn My John he took. Close to my her.rt that morn I held, Tears falling fast, An empty Casket—the bright gem Was safe at last. Yes, Master, thou mayest keep my John, For he is thine; Sate in the house not made with hands, ’Tis thine and mine. Farewell, little John; we miss thy dear form on earth. Just out in the little quiet graveyard it is sleeping. A few more sorrows and trials, and the battle of life will be over; then we will meet to part uo more. S. C. Cost ley. £H>« Uew ard SIOO.

Thanksgiving Proclamation. The following proclamation was is sued Friday, November 4, by President Haruisou : “The gifts of God to our people during the past year have been so abundant aud so special that a spirit of devout thanksgiving awaits not the call but only the appointment of a day when it may have common expression. He has stayed pestilence at our door ; He has given us more love for free civil institutions, in the creation of which His directing providence was so corspicuous ; He has awakened deeper reverence for law; He has widened our philanthrophy by a call to sue cor the distress in other lands, aud He has blessed our schools and is bringing forward a patriotic and God fearing generation to execute His great and benevolent designs for our country. He has given us a great increase in material wealth and a wide diffusion of contentment and comfort in the homes of our people; He has given his grace to the sorrowing ; wherefore, I, Ben jamin Harrison, l’resident of the United States, do call upon all our people to observe, as we have wont, Tuesday, the 24th day of this month of Novem ber, as a day of thanksgiving to' God for his mercies and of supplication for His continued care aud grace.’” 2, 82*, «?a.
