ProeIamatioa OF Gov. Kiaheaa.


The following proclamation has been
received at this Office:
1t has become my painful duty to an.
nouuce to the people OF this common
wealth the death Of the Chief Executive
Of the nation. james Abram Garfield.
twentieth President Of the United States
OF America. died at Elheron. New Jer-
sey. at l0:35 p. NJ, Sept. l8. 1881.
A great calamity has fallen upon us.
For the second time in the history OF
the Republic its citizens stand sshast
at the murder Of their chosen ruler.
Assassination has again stricken from
the pedestal to which the suffrages OF
the American people had uplifted him,
our foremost citizen.
The nation is humbied; its flags bend
low; mourning overspreads the Shole
land. The world looks on in profound
sorrow and wondering pity. The peer
Of any in the line of illustrious men
who have adorned the Chief Magistracy
Of the Republic lies dead-foully SLAIN
without shadow Of reason. There is
little left to do but mourn. Let US
sbase ourselves before the throne of the
Omuipotent and mingle our tears with
those Of the mother. the wife and chill
dren Of our dead President. Let the
sympathy of a nation envelop and up
beur them in this dread bereavement.
On Monday, the Goth day OF Septem.
Der, 1851, the funeral obsequies of the
late President will be concluded. On
that day l call upon the people OF the
State of Nevada to abstain from all
secular employments and unite with the
several religious. civil and military
organizations Of their respective locali.
ties in appropriate funeral ceremonies,
as tribute to the name and memory OF
the illustrious dead. Let US moreover
pray earnestly for the peace and safety
of our country and its government.
III testimony whereof have hereuntc
set my hand and caused the great SCI
OF the State to be affixed.
