The IHjty of the Citizen. Every

pend; on one vote the fate of a Con
gressman may rest; on one vote the
character of the next administration
may demand. Who shall take upon
himself the fearful responsibility of
risking the loss of the State or nation
by neglecting to cast Ills vote? We
call upon loyal men everywhere to
prepare in tiraeefor the performance of
the duty of citizenship on the 7th day
of November. Until the close of the
polls we must work as if on a singele
vote depended the future safety of the
nation.
The Withdrawal of Mr. Oyster.
Elsewhere, in this issue, wo an
nounce the withdrawal of D. C.
Oyster, as Republican candidate for
Assembly from this county. This
action on Mr. Oyster's part, narrows
the question of "who shall represent
us?" down to Messrs. Earley and Wim
mer. Mr. Earley, the regular Demo
cratic nominee, and Mr. Wimmer, In
dependent Democrat. Had the ques
tion been merely of men, or politics,
Mr. Oyster would not have withdrawn,
and his withdrawal was not because
defeat was certain, for iu this county
Republican candidates can generally
count on certain defeat, but, because
did he remain In the field the election
of Mr. Wimmer was more than possi
ble, and Mr Earley's defeatmore than
probable The election of Mr Wimmer,
then, was a result which Mr Oyster,
and his friends Je d red should not be,
for several reasons, among which may
be given his misrepresentation of two
thirds of the coiiuty while in the Legis
lature, by his night-mareof "My Bi'l,"
and the fact that he has no claims at all
on the people, either by long resid enc e
or public enterprise. On the other
hand we find a man whom It is useless
for us to say is the friend of every man,
woman and child from Beuezette to
Millstone, and from the centre to the
circumference of Elk county; a man
who has done as much, if not more,
for the development, improvement,
and advancement of our interests
than any man we can now think of; a
man whose generosity is only encom
passed by his means, and whose
whole life from manhood, to the verge
of old age, has been spent in our midst.
There are times when party should give
way to other questions, and this
seems to be the case now. Our local
iuterests are in Jeopardy; shall w
neglect the warning until it is too late
or will we cast aside, for the time being,
the misguiding cry of "any thing for
party," and cast our ballots for the
best interests of our people? Much as
we desired to see Mr Oyster succeed,
we could Dot overlook the facts in the
case, nor be blind to the danger we
were encountering. We wish to have
our Republican friends understand
that Mr Oyster withdrew, not from
fear of his own defeat, but from the
desire he had not to be a stumbling
block to the successful accomplishment
of an end we all devoutly desire, and
we hope they will all so consider it
We ask Republicans, throughout, the
county, therefore, to support C. R
Earley for the position to which Mr.
Oyster aspired The wish is father to
the thought when we say that C R.
Earley will be elected, next Tuesday by
a handsome niojori ty.
CUTE THANKS.
A PROCLAMATION BT THE PRESIDENT.
Washington, D. C, October 26 '76-
By the President of the United
States of America
a proclamation.
From year to year we have been ac
customed to pause in our dally pur
suits, and set apart a time to offer our
thanks to Almighty God for special
blessings He has vouchsafed to us,
with our prayers for a continuance
thereof. We have at this time equal
reason to be thankful for His con
tinued protection, and for the many
material blessings, which His bounty
has bestowed. In addition to these
favors accorded to us as individuals,
we have especial occasion to express
our hearty thanks to Almighty God
that by His providence and guidance
our Government, established a cen
ury ago, has been enabled to fulfill
the purpose of its founders in offering
an asylum to the people of every raco,
securing civil and religious liberty to
all within its borders, and meting out
to every individual alike Justice and
equality before the law. It is, more
over, especially our duty to offer our
bumble prayers to the Father of all
Mercies for a continuance of His di
vine favor to us as a nation, and as in
dividuals. By reason of all these con
siderations I, Ulysses S. Grant, Presi
dent of the United States, do recom
mend the people of the United States
to devote the 80th day of November
next to the expression ol their thanks
and prayers to Almighty God, and
laying aside their daily avocations,
and all secular occupations, to
assemble in their respective places of
worship and observe such day as a day
of thanksgiving and rest.
In witness whereof I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this
20th day of October, In the year of our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and
seventy-sit, and of the independence
of the United States of America the
one hundred and first.
By the President:
U. S. GRANT.
Hamilton Fish, Secretary of State.
A Very Creditable Record.
The record of Maj. Henry Wetter,
Republican enndidato for State Sena
tor in this district, is one of which
both he nnd his friends may well be
proud. At the beginning of the war
Major Wetter enlisted in the 87th
Regiment of Pennsylvania Reserves,
and was successively promoted or gal
lant conduct. He shared with his
regiment in the bloody battles of the
Peninsula, was wounded at Charles
City Cross Roads, June 30th, 18C2, and
was again wounded at the secoud bat
tle of Bull Run, where he lost a leg,
August 23, 1862, and was mustered
out of service in December, 1868. In
the numerous engagements he was
conspicuous for gallantry, and was
highly esteemed by his comrades. Af
ter his return home he was commis
sioned by President Lincoln as com
missioner of the draft for this, which
then constituted the 20th Congres
sional district, with headquarters at
Meadvllle, and held that position un
til the close of the war. He then en
gaged in the oil business in Venango
county. He was afterwards appointed
Register of the land office for New
Mexico. Promoted to Secretary of
the Territory and was active Governor
of the same for the period of some
months. From Santa Fe he returned
to Clarion county and again engaged
in the oil business, and now ranks as
one of the most successful and exten
sive oil operators in the Pennsylvania
oil region. His personal qualities
lender him respected by men of all
parties, and Ills executive ability and
untiring energy are the qualifications
that will most commend him for the
position for which he has been
nominated.
Possessing a practical knowledge of
the oil business, the leading Interest
of not only this county, but the entire
district, we can appeal to them to
cast a complimentary if not a solid
vote for him, one of their representa
tive men The need of a man of such
practical, comprehensive views, has
long been felt in our State Legislature
to secure such legislation as would be
best calculated to benefit the interests
of tho entire business.
An extended notice of Major Henry
Wetter, in this county, or wherever
he is known, Is unnecessary. No
gentleman in the district Is better
qualified or more deserving of the
position, and his friends, we are con
fident, will labor earnestly to secure it
for him.

you out so that you can laugh at the
antics of the Storm King, and defy his
wintery blast. Go at once and be
made comfortable.
In less than two weeks tiie Cen
tennial Exposition will be closed. It
has been decided, however, to con
tinue to admit visitors after Novem
ber 10th at the regular rates, though
this will not Interfere with parties
desirous of taking away their goods at
once. Another reason for continuing
the admission fee after the Exhibition
has formally closed Is the fact that,
without some such concession, the
management would be overwhelmed
with applications for passes from
thousands who have made purchases,
and other thousands who desire to buy
or transact other business with tho ex
hibitors. Besides this, the same force
of guards, firemen, gate keepers, fcc,
will be necessary to protect property
and keep the grounds ill order, while
without somo revenue from admis
sions, the expenses would continue at
their present figures, with nothing to
balance them.

Newspapers at the Centennial.
The Special Correspondent of the Loudon
Times says it would be difficult to find an
apter illustration of the big way in which
the Americans do things than that furnished
by the "Centennial Newspaper Building,"
in the Exhibition grounds. Here you ruuy
see any one, or, if you like, all of tne 8,1-
newspapers publiohed regularly in the
United States, and see them, one and all,
for nothing! You are not only permitted
as a favor to see them, but invited, nay,
presssed, to confer the favor of entering,
the building and calling for what paper
you like. It is aboHt as cool and agreea
ble a place quite apart from its literary
attractions as a visitor to the Exhibition
could wish to bs offered a chair in, He
may at first wonder how, among 8,000
papers among (hem such mighty sheets as
the New York Herald, he is to get at the
small, loved print of his home, thousands
of miles away, it may be, over the Kooky
Mountains. But the management is so
simple that by consulting the catalogue, or
even without the aid of the catalogue, any
one oan at once fiod whatever paper he
wants. Tbcy are pigeon-holed on shelves
in the alphab etioal order of their States or
Territories aud their towns, the names of
which are olearly labelled on the shelves.
The proprietors of the Centennial News
paper Building are advertising agents, the
largest in all America Messrs. O. P.
Howell & Co., of New York. Their enter,
prise will cost altogether about $20,000 or
$10,000. including the building and the the
penses of "running" it for six months
The 8,000 and odd American newspapers
are declared, by the same authority, to ex
ceed 'the combined issues of all the other
nations of the esrth."
