Proclamation by Gov. Cony.
STATE OF MAINE,
Ereeutire Department,

Augusta July ID, 1904.
Whereas rumors are rife that the National
/ Capitol is in danger, the rebel hordes having
once more attempted the invasion of loyal
! States with the purpose equally of raising the
seige OF Richmond and the phnder and de-
struction of the property of loyal people
and, whereas, in consequence OF communica.
ton being cut off with Washington, we are
unable to concert measures OF protection or
resistance with the National authorities;
Therefore, |, Samuel Cony, Governor of the
State of Maine, call upon all good citizens,
magistrates and people within the limits and
in every locality TO nuke arrangements for the
performance of common duty, the driving
back of the rebel foe. invite every citizen
to constitute himself recruiting officer, and
request that lists may at once be obtained of
all men who are willing to enter the military
service of the country for the protection OF
the city OF Washington and defence of the
loyal States for term not exceeding 100 days.
General orders will be issued prescribing the
mode of organization of forces which may be
called upon to leave the State in this emer-
gency.
There will be paid by the State to each non
commissioned officer and private mustered
into the service of the United States, and who
shall actually leave the State, in the nature of
a bounty, a sum monthly equal to the pay OF
aprivate, in addition TO the pay and allowances
of the United States, for every months SER
vice rendered.
1nasmuch as due provision by law for the
creation of an organized, efficient and ade-
quate militia to meet emergencies like the
present has been omitted, the gravity of which
omission the perils of the present moment
demonstrate, we are compelled to rely upon
the necessarily slow process of unorganized
volunteering.
Maine has ever been ready on all the occa-
sions of this war TO meet her full share of re-
sponsibility and contribute her due proper
ton of soldiers for the common cause, and
your Chief Magistrate doubts not that her
high character for patriotic devotion will be
maintained in the present crisis, and, as the
father Of the Revolutionary day left the
plough in the furrow," that the sons in our
time will leave the grass in the swath TO repel
the invasion of our soil.
tSigned) SAMUEL CoSY,
Governor and COMMANDMENT Chief.
