The following is the text of the
two proclamations issued by Presi-
dent Cleveland
1, Grover Cleveland, President of
the United States, do hereby admon-
ism all good citizens and all persons
who NAV be or may come within
the city and State aforesaid (Illinois)
against aiding, countenancing, en-
cOuraging, or taking part in such IN
Lawful distractions, combinations and
assemblaCes; and l do hereby warn
all persons engaged in or in any way
connected with such unlawful obstrue-
tons, combinations and assemblages,
10 disperse and retire peacefully to
their respective abOdes on or before l.
O'Clock noon on the ninth day of July.
Those who disregard this warning,
and persist in taking part with riot
Gus mob in fOrcibly resisting and OBJ
strueting the execution of the laws of
the United States, or interfering with
the functions of the Government, or
destroying and attempting to destroy
the property belonging TO the United
States, or under its protection, cannot
be regarded otherwise than as public
enemies.
The troops employed against such
riOtoUs mob will act with all mOdera-
ton and fOrbearance consistent with
the accomplishment Of the desired
end but the necessities that confront
them will not, with certainty, permit
discrimination between guilty parti-
cipants and those who are mingled
with them from curiosity and without
criminal intent. The only safe course,
therefore, for those who are not ac-
tually unlawfully participating is to
abide st their homes, or at least not TO
be found in the neighbOrhOod Of riot
Gus assemblages.
While there viii be no hesitation or
vaciIlation In the decisive treatment
Of the guilty, this warning is espe-
eially intended to protect and save the
innocent.
In testimony whereof l hereunto set
my hand and cause the seal of the
United States TO be hereto affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this
eighth day of July, in the year of Our
Lord 1874, and of the independence of
the United States Of America, 1lSth.
GROVER CLEVELAND.
By the President,
W. Q. GRESHAM, Secretary.
