James Gillespie Blaine's death, al.
though it has removed from the world
n character who was prominent in
everything he undertook, caused but
little surprise. The news of it had been
so long discounted that there remained
but the line of announcement at the
head of this dispatch. 1t was a fore
gone conclusion that his battle with
death would be the final defeat of his
life. Though the facts as to his illness
have from the first been studiously con-
cealed through the official channels of
communication, he was sick man
when he returned to Washington to
settle down for the winter; death and
its bereavements added more and more
to his ailments. He has grown worse
and has continued on his journey to the
grave as fast as the days would carry
him.
Science and skill have furnished him
the weapons of defense for compara-
lively long time, but his death has fur
nished the end of the fight, He was a
doomed man from the start, and to all
intents he has been dead man for
these many days past
The news spread to the capitol and
throughout the city in a few minutes
1t was everywhere expected, but when
the announcement came the impression
was more striking than any that has
been created by similar news since the
death of a braham Lincoln.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1893-02-04

moments before death and the end was
so quiet and peaceful that only the ex-
perienced eye of the physician could
perceive that the great statesman had
joined the majority. DIR. Hyatt said
that Mr.. Blaines death was due to sheer
exhaustion. He was unwilling to make
a statement regarding the exact dis
ease of Mr.. Blaine until he had received
the consent of the family.
At 11:25, President Harrison, ac-
companied by Private Secretary Hal
ford and Lieut.. Parker, walked over TO
the Blaine mansion. The president
showed marked signs of grief. Post
master General Wanamalxer followed
the footsteps of the president.
All over the city people gathered in
knots and discussed the incidents which
have made the mans life great, and
there is not one who does not mourn.
1t is not known that Mr. Blaine had
u personal enemy at the nations capi'
tai
There was no business transacted
anywhere in Washington, Friday, o1
consequence. The departments, con.
gress and the shops stopped their bust
ness rounds. Social events were at an
end.

Blaine died at IL o'clock Friday.
He lay all night as in a stupor, but
rested as well, if not better, than on
several nights previous, At o'clock
Friday morning he was regard
ed ns slightly better. When the
physicians arrived in the morning, in
response to hasty summons, they
found Mr.. Blaine sinking rapidly and
beyond hope of recovery. The relapse
had set in only short time before
their arrival He was then speechless,
and his breathing was scarcely pcrcept-
ible. All the members of the family
had gathered quickly in the sick room
in response to the summons of the
nurses, whose experience told them
that the end was near The physicians
did every thing possible to put life into
the wasted frame but their efforts were
useless-all strength was gone. Death
was peaceful and apparently painless.

PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION.

He Directs the Public Buildings in WASH

Blaine's Fun eraI.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-The president
issued the following proclamation
Friday afternoon:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, Jan. 27.--It is my
painful duty TO announce TO the people of the
United States the death of james Gillespie
Blaine, which occurred in the city to-day, at
II o'clock.
For full generation this eminent citizen
has occupied conspicuous and influential pos
ition in the nation. His first public service
was in the legislature of his native state.
Afterward for fourteen years he was member
OF the National House of Representatives, and
was three times chosen its speaker,
In 1876 he was elected TO the senate. He re.
signed his seat in that body in 1881 to accept
the position of secretary of state with Presi.
dent Garfield. After the tragic death Of his
chief, he resigned from the cabinet, and, devot.
ing himself TO literary work. gave to the public
in his Twenty Years in Congress" " most val.
liable and enduring contribution TO our political
literature.
In March, 1889, he again became secretary of
state, and continued TO exercise this oflce until
June, 1882. His devotion to the public interests,
his marked ability and his exalted patriotism
have won for him the gratitude and affection OF
his countrymen and the admiration of the
world.
In the varied pursuits OF legislation, diplom.
acy and literature, his genius has added new
luster 10 American citizenship. AS suitable
expression Of the national appreciation OF his
great public services and of the general sorrow
caused by his death, direct that on the day
of his funeral all the departments of the
executive branch of the government at Wash.
ington be closed and that on all public build.
ings throughout tho United States the national
Hgdf lnn11 Il
period of 30 days the department Of state be
draped in mourning. BY the president,
BENJAMIN HARRISON.
JOHN +. FOSTER, Secretary of State.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1893-02-04

His mind has almost been blank for
weeks past, his lucid moments having
been but few and at times far between
but his physical frame has withstood
the ravages of wasting disease until
now
Dating from the cradle to the tomb,
Mr.. Blaines sixty-three years have been
active ones. All the trials and tribula-
tions that have fallen to the lot of a
public man have been his and have
earned for him the peaceful ending of a
career which closed when life's candle
made its last flicker Friday.
Mr., Blaine on his death bed, was sur
rounded, just as he has been almost in
cessantly for weeks, by those who were
nearest and dearest to him. In fact, it
was only his family and those very
closely associated with them that have
been permitted to see or even hear from
him during the last days of his life.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1893-02-04

WAsHINGToN,. Jan. 2S.-Mr. Blaine'a
body will be inferred in Oak Hill cem-
etery, beautiful resting place of the
dead, situated on the slopes of Rock
creek banks in Georgetown. AL
though Mr. Blaine's name and fame are
inseparably connected with the state of
Maine, but one of his family lies under
its soil. His eldest son and daughter,
Walker Blaine and Mrs. Coppinger, are
inferred in Oak Hill, in a lot that the
dead man himself selected and pur-
chased three years ago.
When the body of Walker Blaine lay
in the house awaiting interment Mr..
Blaine, accompanied by a friend,
walked over to Oak Hill and selected
the lot in which his well beloved son
was placed, and which soon afterward
received the body of Mrs Coppinger.
1t lies in the eastern part of the ceme-
terry, half way down the terrace of the
western bank of the creek. The view
from the plot is to the northeast, and
within its range lie Sheridan circle and
Kalaroma heights, the home of John
Howard Payne, in one of the most at
tractive portions of Washington.
No stone yet marks the graves of the
children of the deceased eX-secretary.
The body of Emmons Blaine lies in one
of the Chicago cemeteries, so that aside
from the national character of the de-
ceased which makes the national capi-
tai the most fitting resting place for his
remains, it, more than any other, can
be called the family burying place.
A public funeral was suggested, but
the wishes of the family prevailed, and
the ceremonies will be of a private
nature. They will be held at the Pres
byterian Church of the Covenant, where
Mr. Blaine was a pew holder, on Nom
day morning. DR.. Hamlin, who of
fciated at the funeral of Mrs. Harrison
and her father, will conduct the SER
vices.
The physicians have officially made
public the cause of the death as Bright's
disease, aggravated by tubercular
disease of the lungs and followed by
heart failure.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1893-02-04
In Heaven With His Isoys.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2s. "A pathetic in
cident of Mr.. Blaine's last moments is
told by a prominent Maine represen,
tative, who was at the house just after
the end came. He says that while
Mr.. Blaine was sinking, but before he
had entirely lost consciousness, Mrs
Blaine bent over the dying man and
said to him: "Do you remember Walker
and Emmons? Do you know that you
are going where they are?" Mr.. Blaine
did not open his eyes, but the index
finger of his outstretched hand slowly
and feebly raised itself to point upward.
This was the last indication given by
the dying man Of any knowledge OF
earthly things.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1893-02-04

DIR. Johnston was summoned to the
bedside OF Mr.. Blaine early Friday
morning, but his presence was not
known to those outside until about
ll:1O, when in company with DR.. Hyatt
he left the house. Both physicians were
unusually pale, and when accosted ty
tho reporter for the latest news tho sig
nificant look in their faces answered
the question.
HE is dead" said Dr. Johnston, land
he passed away peacefully"
The doctors did not give the exact
time Of death, but it was observed that
about 1O:45 the windows in the room OF
the sick chamber were slightly raised.
Later it was learned that death came
at IL o'clock.
Mr. Blaine was conscious until few
