TUESDAY'S ELECTION. tt is hardly necessary for us to re- mind our readers of the fact that next Tuesday is election day in this State. That upon that day the oualified Toters of this county will have an opportunity to cast their ballots for the various state and county officers. borhood the contest generally has thus (it been diseussfeS. by us in our usual course as independent journalists. But, as is already well knowD, in the selection of local officers, whose inter- course and influence is directly inter- twined and mixed with all classes and shades of our fellow citizens, we have arrogated to ourselves the right to free- ly discuss the merits and demerits of individuals seeking offices of trust and responsibility. That there lias been ample trpptrrttrnity, in fact aeeessity,' \.n frfeely and independently act upon this course during the past two years. many good men of the county will agree. Of course, during this period THE SUN, by fearlessly exposing and battling against local abuses perpetra- tedr-b? ciiqses aid risg% has brought down upon it the ire and indignation Of those self-constituted would-be | These, it is our firm conviction and belief, Mr. Cushman possesses to the fulleat extent. H© ss a young man of unquestionable hadits, reared and edueated amongst y«u, and whan once installed into the office wilf devote his whole time and energy in furthering the educational welfare of the whole district, regardless of political or reli- gious opinions or prejudices. With all these necessary qualifications com- bined we therefore candidly and earnestly appeal to you to turn out on Tuesday next and rxtend to a deserv- ing and aspiring young fellvw-citizen the full benefit of your suffrages. Be early at ihe peH* -afidr-dott 1 ^ 4feare them until you are positive that all your neighbors and friends have de- immediate neigh- posited„ their ballots for Wm, G. Cushman for school commissioner in the second district. SOMETHING FOR REPUBLICANS TO POXDER OVER. THE N1W YORK TRIBUTE DECLARES MR. CUSH3CJLXS NOMINATION VALID AND JUST. The New York Tribune of last Sat- urday gave the following resume of the proceedings of the late republican county convention at Malone : \ The minutes of the last Franklin County Republican Convention, as attested by one of its secretaries, show that on the informal ballot for school commissioner, district No. 2, A. Hut- chins received 1-3 votes and William G. Cuahman 12 votes; that on the formal ballot Hut-chins received 13 and: Cushman 14 votes, thB whole number of votes cast on each ballot being 27. After the second ballot one From the Farmer, OcU 26. FOR MEMBER OF ASSEMBLY. There seems to be a feeling preva- lent among some of the very staunch- est\ Republicans in Franklin county that there is to be an attempt made in th« coming election to reduce the vote in the party in the case of the Repub. lican candidate for Member of Assem. bly, Mr. Had ley. Especially is this true in the town of Malone. The cause ©f this is too well known to require any special reference, save to say that Mr. Hadley is man enough and independent enough to have an honest and safe opinion of his own, to form ajudgment of his own and to be capable oi determining his own actions, rather than to ask what be shall do of a self-appointed aud dogmatic clique of Mean—selfish pofiticans. Any intelli- gent voter, who will, without preju- dice, study the work of Mr. Hadley while 4n Albany as a representative from Franklin in the Legislature, must confess that no man has been truer to his constituents, more faith- ful to the interests of the whole people of this county and more highly esteemed by his feilo^r legislator*. The ability and influence which such men as John I. Gilbert, John P. Badger, William D. Breiman, William T. O'Neil and S. A., Beman carried with them to the legislative halls in the past have, during the whole of Mr. Hadley's two terms, been fully and ably sustained, and if any man ever deserved well of the people, he so deserves. It is to be sincerely hoped that no Republican will coc- sent tc see him sutler at the polls next November to satisfy the personal spite or c*imit'i of any person ©r persons who wish^o4sjure him. OUR NATIONAL THANKSGIVING. I On Wednesday of last week President Cleveland issued tbe following Thanks- giving proclamation : The goodness and the mercy of God which have followed the American people during all the days of the past year claim I heir grateful recognition and humble acknowledgement. By His omnipotent power he haa protected ug from war and pestilence and from national calamity ; by Bis gracious favor the earth has yielded a generous return to the labor of the hus- bandmen, and every path ot honest toil has led to comfort and Contentment; by His loving kindness the hearts of our pecple have been replenished with frater- nal sentiment and patriotic endeavor, and by Eis unerring guidance we have been directed in the way of national prosperity. To i he fend tb»t we may wiih one^ccord testify our gratitude f L G' Cll e may wi for all th ese blessings^ d f h ^ians and protectors of the inter- ^^^XI esta of the county, not only politically wbereupon the point wa 3 raised that - \but its—agrk-u.ltural aud domestic affairs. But to prove that we have been right loyally sustained by an appreciative public we respectfully invite a comparison of bur subscrip- tion list at the present time with that of two years ago* Wfe espoused the csuse of Hon. Floyd J. fiadley not because he was a republican, but because of a glaring aid highhanded attempt by a little \tiot of wire-pullers to coerce him in- to doing an act repugnaat to the wishes of a vast majority of his con- stituents. So manfully did he resist their selfish sordid demands that our sympathies at once became enlisted in bis favor. Mu^h as they regretted his nomination; regardless of the repeat- ed slights and insults shown, FLOYD J. HADLIY will, we feel sanguine, be re- elected next Tuesday, by fully, if not more than his usual plurality. WM. Gk CCSHMAN, the peoples' choice for School Com- missioner in this (second) -district, is another instance of the arrogance and dictatorial propensities of the coterie in Malone who have for rears parcel- ed out the offices and patronage of the county of Franklin. The whole his- tory of this case is so fresh in the memory of the voters of the district that a repetition now would be useless. Sufiiee to say Mr. Cushman received a fair square nomination in a regular- ly organized and constituted conven- tion. That he, not happening to be the man to whom this ring had pro- mised the position three years ago. was then and there eonfronted with every conceivable subterfuge and clap- trap in order to force him to relin- quish an advantaga he had so equit- ably won. Xot only at that time, but for weeks and weeks since, have these fctwcrupulous dictators carried on an uncalled for and unprecedental cru- sade against Mr. Cushman—resorting to ttee most daspicable means conceiv- able to force kim from the field ; even going so far 03 to induce well meaning men to commit the heniouB crime of perjury. But Mr. C-Eshman. disre- garding ^all their maehinatioDs and tkreais, kept on with his canvass and ia a gentlemanly and becoming mans** presented the true condition of affairs and hi3 claims to the people of the district. That he will be triumphantly elect 3d on Tuesday there remains not a shadow of doubt. Voters of the second district, with tbe selection of a school commissioner politics ought and should be altogether foreign to the question. Efficiency, competency, integrity and morality should be the all-important qualifica- tions tff a candidate seeking your suffrages for this responsible position. There is no other officer in the country ox our selection tfeat chiHr- r. BO often «ee and through him receive the first rudiments of that great essential up- on whkh depends the prosperity and Velfitte of our cosuUy—Ed toVmotion was out Cushman, having received a majority of all the votes cast on the formal bal- lot, was duly nominated.\ After thus summarising the actual proceedings of the convention the editor of the TrihuM iheiLln^&straight- ferward and indefensible manner, uttocs the following as his conclusions, which, coming from such unquestion- able authority, ought to satisfy the most vehement and straigh t-laeed adherent of the republican persuasion. The editor says : \ On the fact* thus presented Mr. Cushman having received a majority of all the votes caft teas duly nominated, and the motion f-yr a third ballot teas there/ore out of order.'\' We ask what more need be added to establish the validity of Mr. Cush- man's claims to the united support of the republican party of the second dis- trict? The Tribune's finding, being perfectly in accord with the express- ed opinion of Hon. G. Z. Erwin pub- lished by us some weeks since, ought to allay any doubts that might have been engendered by earnest republicans at or since the convention. With all the facts connected with the question plainly stated, and with the free out- spoken opinions by such unquestion- able authorities as the Tribune and es-Speaker Erwin, we fail to see bow any sincere republican can do violence to his conscience by voting for V. G. Cushman, the acknowledged regular nominee of his party; for school com- missioner in thi* distric THE TWO TICKETS. Notwithstanding there may be other ballots distributed at the polls in this county on Tuesday, we append a list of the respective candidates put in nomi- nation by the two dominant political parties, both state and county.

L G'rover Cleveland, president «f the United States, do hereby designate and set apart Thursday, the 24th day of Nov- ember next, as a day of Thanksgiving and prayer, to be obfcerted by all the people oi the land. On that day let all secular work and employment be suspended, and let our people assemble in their accustomed places of worship Hud with prajer and songs of praise give thanks to our heavenly father for ail that he has done for »s, while we humbly implore the forgiveness of our gins and a continuance of His mercy. Let families and kindred be reunited on that day, and let their hearts., filled with kindly cheer and affectionate reminiscence, be turned in thankfulness to the source o all their pleasures and the jiiver of al; that makes tue d«y glad and joyous. And in j he midst, of cmr. worship And happiness let us remember the poor ? the ipedy and ihe unfortunate; and bv our :i(is of clarify and ready benevolence, let us increase the number of those who, with grateful hearts, shall join in our thauks- When the Republican party seeks out and places in nomination a man of the high personal character and business capacity, possessed by its pre.-ent candidate for the Assemblv, to heartily support him. Mr. Haaley is a farmer and properly represents the farm interests sf this distinctively agricultural district. Surely the farmers ought to support him regard- less of political bias. We believe they wi 11 do so and feel sure that no Re- publican, whatever his trade or pro- fession, trill hesitate to give him a willing Support, unless he is one of the few who seek i-eveng« for a paltry personal grievance such as we liave above mentiened. Republicans of Franklin county, watchius: this can- vass can see where the s*-eailed organ of the Eepoblican party places itself? It has failed to p-1 the party ticket at the head of its columns in order that the sum of six dollars might riot be lost to the proprietors of that paper for the space w'uich the ticket would occupy—so they say—but the loyal Republicans look upon the absence of the ticket from the columns of the PaUodium as proof that the Palladium peeple have a strong desire to show to the world their dislike towards an able and honest man, whose personal con- duct they cannot influence or control. The just and wholesome rebuke for such conduct as we have just pointed out will be given Vo these men on the 8th of ^Tovembar, next, when Mr. Hadley will be *re-«lected to the Assembly by the willing votes of his fellow citizens. HOW THINGS GO ON IN IRELAND. A Dublin despatch of Oct. 2nd says placards were posted at Woodford, caunty Galway, that morning summon, ing an indignation meeting under the auspices off the British home union. Sir Wilfred Blunt, formerly a con- servative, niw a home ruler, was an. nounced to preside^sapportcd by Row- land and other English members of Parfiment. The mating wag proclaim- ed. Pteioforccmants ot police and troops arrived and and thousands of town. A pLaffrwm taraded the streets ersons flocked into enrected in a field and when the speakers ibouftted Magistrate Byrne forbade Blunt to hold the meeting. Blunt defied 1 the magistrates and several policemen seized Blunt, who violently resisted, and threw him from the platform. Blunt return- ed and was again thrown off; pale and breathless he shouted: \ Are you snch—cowards you dare not arrest me;'' Blunt was seized and marched off, hiR wife following. The police charged the crowd and injured maoy. Three cheers for Blnnt were given, but the crowd was kept back by fusileers. Blunt wasjretiined in custody and conveyed to Lougheajail. Two meetings were afterward held oa the outskirts of the town »md the arrest of Blaot was de- nounced. THE national republican committee have been called to meet at Washington on December 8th to fix the date and place of the nexl National Republican Convention. Speaking of tho probable place of holding the next convention chairman Jones said that applications wouM preba&y be received from New York, Saratoga, Philadel phi*,Baltimore, Chicago, St. Leub, and in fact from all of the large cities of the country. Chicago's claims were good fcecamse of tbe ccoJral location. C. G.
