He saw that he could not save the ves-

to speak: individual interest and activity
in political affairs is by no means coun-
tenanced. Oficeholders are neither dis
franchised nor forbidden to exercise
political privileges but their privilege
is not enlarged nor is their
duty to party increased to pernicious
activity by office-holding." If making po-
litical speeches is the cause of my suspen-
sion, can make no defense; but if it is in
ferred neglected my official duties by SO
doing, I am not guilty and ask full scrutiny
into the facts. I respectfully ask that this
communication be referred to the Presi-
dent with such recommendations as you
deem just. have but to add, I had no
idea that making political speeches would
be taken in violation OF the Presidents let
Ter of July 10, 1886.

STATE OF New YORK.
PROCLAMATION BY THE GOVERNOR
By the death OF a distinguished citizen
the people OF the State are again called to
mourn. Chester A. Arthur entered
into rest at his residence in New
York City early this morning. He
had always made his home within
our State and from his early manhood had
occupied within it places OF distinction.
As citizen of New York he was elected
Vice President by the whole people. Upon
the death of President Garfield he became
President by succession, and with dignity
himself, and with honor to the country, he
filled that highest office Of our Govern
ment. In all his life he bore without abuse
the name OF a gentleman. Remembering
the services and admiring the character
of President Arthur, it is fitting that we
should, by such action as may be deemed
appropriate, express our sorrow in his
death, and show respect for the high Off
cial position which he held by the choice of
his countrymen.
Done at the Capital. in the city of Al
bany, on this eighteenth day OF November,
1886. DAVID B. HILL.

EXECUTIVE MANSION, November 1S.-To
the people of the United States: 1t is my
painful duty to announce the death OF
Cheste. A. Arthur, lately President OF the
United States, which occurred after an i'll
ness OF long duration, at an early hour
Thursday morning, at his residence in the
city of New York. Arthur was called to
the chair OF the Chief Magistracy OF the
United States by a tragedy which cast it's
shadow over the entire Government. His
assumption OF the grave duties was marked
by an evident and conscientious sense OF
his responsibilities and an earnest desire to
meet them in a patriotic and benevolent
spirit. With dignity and ability he sus-
tained the important duties OF his station:
His personal worth was conspicuous and
his graciousness and patriotic fidelity will
long be cherished by his fellow country
men. In token OF respect to the memory
of the deceased it is ordered that the ex-
ecutive mansion and the several depart
ment buildings be draped in mourning for a
period OF thirty days, and that on the day
of the funeral all public business in the
departments be suspended. The secretaries
of war and the navy will cause orders to
be issued for appropriate military and
naval honors to be rendered on that day.
