Gov. Pierce's Proclamation.

The following is the proclamation Of
Gov. Pierce of Dakota:
To the people Of Dakota: In recognition
of the universal sorrow at the death Of Gen.
Grant, recommend that the day set apart
for the funeral be observed throughout the
territory by ceasing from ordinary business
pursuits and that the people unite in testi-
flying their respect for the departed soldier,
the foremost citizen of his time. Such lives
are rare. 1'ew men are permitted TO render
such service, TO gain so much renown, to
merit such distinction. In his victories the
people rejolced, in his uisfOrtunes they sor-
rowed. in his death they mourn. Looking
back on a career Of unexampled success on
a record of surprising brilliancy, his great
est triumph came at the close of his years,
when a nation, forgetting its past differ
euces. bowed in sorrow around his bedside
and united in a gracious tribute 10 bis honor
and his name. Unconquerable in war,
magnanimous in victory, simple and unos-
tentatious in peace, he came close to the
hearts Of the people, and to the people is
committed fitting observance Of that day
when he shall be laid to rest with Washing
ton and Lincoln, enshrined like them in q
nations gratitude and nations love.
