Proclamation BY the Governor of New
York.
ALBANY, N. Y, July Ex-Governor
Hill has just issued the following procla-
nation:
BY THE GOVERNOR.
STATE OF NEW YORK;
EXECUTIVE CHAMBER.
ulysses S. Grant, twice President of the
rious leader of our soldiers and General on
the retired list of the army, is dead. To the
last he was true soldier, strong, in spirit,
patient in suffering, brave in death. His
warfare is ended. After the close of his OFF,
cial life, and following that notable journey
around the world, when tributes of esteem
of all nations were paid him, he chose
his home among the citizens of our State
and died upon our soil in the County of Sar-
atoga, overlooking scenes made glorious by
revolutionary memoirs. 1t is fitting that the
State which he chose as his home, should es-
pecially honor his memory. Words of grief
and tokens of sorrow by which we mark his
death, shall honor the offices which he held
and proclaim that praise which shall ever
be accorded to those who serve the Repub-
lic Therefore it is hereby directed that the
flags all public buildings of the
State be placed at half mast until
be ap pointed, all ordinary business of the
Executive Chamber and departments of tn e
State Government shall be suspended. The
people of the State are called upon to dis
play at his funeral emblems of mourning,
and 1t is requested that at that hour they
cease from business and pay respect to the
dead
Given under my hand and the privy seal of
the state of New ork capital at Albany,
this Esd day of July, eighteen hundred and
eighty five.
DAVID B. HILL,
By the Governor.
