What Gov. Holman Says About the
Riot.
His Reasons for Issuing His Proclamation.
NEW YORK, July 1e.-GovernOr Hoffman said
yesterday: 90 became thoroughly satisfied that
1t was necessary, not only for the present. but
for the future, that whatever lawless element
there was in the city of New York should be
made TO understand at once and finally that
there was force enough in the city, military and
civil 10 assert the power of the authorities and
OF the law, and TO preserve peace and order and
TO protect the lives and property OF the people;
and determined, therefore, to issue Drocla-
nation at once, The procession and assemblage
for any lawful purposes should be protected 10
the fullest extent of the law, as far the civil
and military power at command would be sufi-
cient. There is no safety for citizen, whether
rich or poor, foreign or native born, Protestant
or Catholic, or for his wife and children, except
In the maintenance of the law at all times; aud
tne people, whatever may be their nationality
religion, or sympathies, viii be sure it is their
common interest TO sustain the authorities in
preserving order at all hazards This is
not the question of to-day's procession
but it is question which applies TO ali
future gatherings. Men who choose to
gather for any purpose-persOnal, religious,
rights OF persons or the property of others having
the right 10 do so, and they must not be inter
fered WITH and under all circumstances, and at
all hazards, they must and shall be protected by
the civil ami military authority. In the asser-
ton and maintenance of this principle, men of
all parties and of all creeds have an equal inter
est. The attempt TO make the issue to-day one
of religion or politics Is wicked, mischieyous and
malicious, and every good citizen. whatever his
creedOr politics. is bound TO sustain the authori-
ues IN their determination to preserve order and
vindicate the law"

the corner OF 9th street some shots fired at
them from the window of a frame house on the
