Henry A. Farsons, Jr., - Editor THURSDAY, NOV. 4, 1880. Entered at the Post-office at Ridgway, Pa., as second class vail matter. After Election. The election Is over and Garfield Is elected Just as everybody expected he would be. The State of Indiana still holds to the Republican record made In October, while the State of New York goes for Garfield by a large ma jority. The Republicans lose the States of California, Oregon, Nevada, and Colorado, which together with 138 electoral votes In the solid south and 9 in New Jersey gives them 162 electoral votes all told, while Garfield has 207 or 22 more than Is necessary for a choice. Since the elections held in Indiana and Ohio no one has doubted the ultimate success of the Republican eau3e. The business men had aroused themselves throughout the country and putting their shoulders to the wheel helped in a great measure to urge on the fast rising wave of public sentiment. The Democrats vainly en deavored to sweep back the tide, but they might as well have attempted to sweep back the waves of old ocean with a wisp broom. The Morey letter, the fertile imagination of a disordered brain, was distributed by the million as a last resort to bolster up a losing cause. The 329 dodge changed many votes to the Republican side. The "Solid South" scare and the good times were two other causes that made it impossible for the Democrats to win. The State of New York, it seems, however, was lost to the Demo crats by a local fight for Mayor in the city of New York, and as with this State Hancock would have had elec tors to spare it is seen by what small threads the sword of political success sometimes hangs. We will not com ment on what would be the state of affairs under Democratic rule, but this much we will say: Let well enough alone, the country is prosper ous at present and there is no use trying to upset things by having a new party go into power. The House of Representatives is in doubt ana may be about evenly divided between the Republicans and Democrats, leav ing the Greenbackers holding the balance of power. Thanksgiving Proclamation. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26th, FIXED AS THE DAY. Washington, Nov. 1st, 1880. The following was issued yesterday. By the President of United States of America. A Proclamation. At no period in their history since the United States became a nation has this people had so abundant and so universal reasons for joy and grati tude at the favor of Almighty God, or been subject to so profound an obliga tion to give thank for His loving kindness, and humbly to implore His continued care and protection. Health, wealth and prosperity thro ughout all our borders; peace, honor and friendship with all the world; firm and faithful adherence by the great body of our population to the principals of liberty and justice.which have made our greatness as a Nation, and the wise institutions and strong frame of government, and society, which will perpetuate it for all these let the thanks of a happy and con tented peopie, as witn one voice, as cend in devout homage to the Giver of all Good. I therefore recommend that on Thursday the 25th day of November next, the people meet in their respec tive places of worship to make their acknowledgments to Almighty God for His bounties and to offer to him prayers for their continuance. In witness thereof I have hereunto Bet niy hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington this first day of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and eighty, and of the inde pendence of the Uuited States the one hundred and fifth. (Signed) R. B. Hayes. By the President, Wm. M. Everts, Secretary of State "Don't know half their Value" "They cured me of Ague, Bilious ness and Kidney Complaint, as recom mended. I had a half bottle left which I used for my two little girls, who the doctors and neighbors said could not be cured. I would have lost both of them one night if I had not given them Hop Bitters. They did them so much good I continued their use until they were cured. That is why I say you do not know half the value or nop fitters, ana uo not re commend them high enough." B Rochester, N. Y. See other column. American Rural Home. Henry Holtenburg bad black hair and a- ruddy complexion when he married Miss Schwarz, at Nashville, a year ago. She supposed he was about forty, though he made no statement on that point. The honeymoon was scarcely over before his hair become gray, his eheeks lost their color, and he showed at least sixty years. The fact was that be had discontinued the use of dye and rouge. The angry wife wanted to sue for divorce, but the lawer told her that the grounds were not sufficient. The worst she could do was to desert him. which she lost do time in doing,-. 329 329 The tirnnd Triumph. Philadelphia Press. General James A. Garfield has been elected President by an overwhelm ing majority. The victory Is com plete.declsive and magnificent. When the Whigs were engaged in the great log-cabin campaign of 1840 Mar tin Van Buren said it would be either a farce or a tornado, and the crafty politician was buried beneath the storm. This resplendent triumph. like that, Is a sweeping tornado. It is a majestic, popular and patriotic upraising, like the mighty and irre sistible surges of public feeling during the war. It is indeed, the old war glow rekindkled and all ablaze once more, under the insolent threat and the grave danger of a Solid South. The clear head, and the true heart, and the strong right arm of the pat rlotic hosts saved the Nation then, and they have saved it again. Never were the lines more sharply drawn never was the triumph more emphatic and crushing. It Is Justice against oppression; equal rights against proscription; an honest ballot against systematic fraud; honest money against false dollars; protection against free trade; peace and pros perity against doubt, uncertainty and danger; the principles of Lincoln and Seward against thoseof Lee and Jack son; in a word, the National Cause against the Lost Cause. Nay more, on the one side it was the worst ends aimed at by the worst means. The Democratic managers flung all pre tense of principles to the winds. They trampled upon their own platform, stultifed their own declarations, ant and belied their own pledges. Tlies threw aside all show of fair discussion and entered upon a shameful crusade of slander, defamation and crime. And this glorious result is the verdict of the people not merely upon tin odious Democratic cause but upon tin scandalous Democratic method fraud, falsehood, forgery and ;i pretense. The triumph is grand .or its in, mediate effects it is grander still In. cause it shows that the heart of tlii people is sound and trusty. The loy. masses have risen in their majesty, and by their sturdy fidelity have res cued the imperiled interests of the nation. They have declared that u Solid South shall not rule the Repub lic it fought to destroy. They have proclaimed that the cause which was lost on the field shall not be regained in the forum. They have given notice that no ruthless hands shall strike down the protective principle which has built up our splendid industries. They have thundered out that they will not have a change which would beclould and endanger their present brilliant prosperity. And they have reaffirmed their continued confidence in the Republican party and in the cause it represents. The Republican party can review the canvass and hail the victory with unmixed pride. It was true to principle. It was brave, honest and manly. It was courteous and just to Hancock. It fought the battle on high grounds. The people have planted its banner more firmly than ever on the ramparts of govern mens; the sweep of their condemna tion has stranded the shipwrecked Democracy on the rocks; and who can tell its dismal and demoralized fu ture. The great victory which we cele brate to-day will carry joy from Maine to California. It means peace and prosperity. It means a splendid career of business and industrial ac tivity. It means the ascendency of the grand, free, progressive civiliza tion of the North over the reactionary spirit of the South. It means a long lease of power to a faithful, prudent, honest Republican party. And it means the overthrow perhaps the complete dissolution of the Demo cratic party, which has tried every device to defraud and to deceive the people, and which, loaded with its of fensive record and its wicked purpose has now been buried beneath a crush ing weight of popular reprobation. We have beaten the incendiaries of the South and the tricksters of the North. It remains now to be true to the great cause intrusted to our keep ing, and the Republican party will enter upon as grand a mission and as lofty a career as even the lustrous his tory of lis post. 329 Elk Couuty Court Proclamation.

Taylor, the answer is very easy. I used Hop Bitters in tine; kept my family well and saved the do, tor bills. Three dollars' worth of it kept us able to work all the time. I'll war rant it has cost you and the neighbors one to two hundred dollars apiece to keep sick the same time.'' "Deacon, I'll use your medicine hereafter." NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

It is a most agreeable dressing, which is at once harmless and effectual, for pre serving the hair. It restores, with the gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray, light, and red hair, to a rich brown, or deep black, as may be desired. By its use thin hair is thickened, and baldness often though not always cured. It checks falling of the hair immediately, and causes a new growth in all cases where the glands are not decayed; while to brashy, weak, or otherwise diseased hair, it imparts vitaUty and strength, and renders it pliable. The Vioon cleanses the scalp, cures anf prevents the formation of dandruff; and, by its cooling, stimulating, and soothing properties, it heals most if not all of the humors and diseases peculiar to the sculp, keeping it cool, clean, and soft, under which conditions diseases of the scalp and hair are impossible. As a Dressing for Ladies' Hair, The Vioon is incomparable. It is color less, contains neither oil nor dye, and will not soil white cambric. It imparts an agreeable and lasting perfume, and as an article for the toilet it is economical and unsurpassed in its excellence. PREPARED BT Dr. J. C.
