ing proclamation on the death of Cen.
Harrison:
ITO the People of Indiana: Gen.
benjamin Harrison. ex-president of the
United States, and who has for many
Years past unostentatiously enjoyed the
Lndisputed honor of being Indianas s
most distinguished citizen, died at his
home in Indianapolis at 4:45 o'clock
On Wednesday afternoon, March 13, 1901.
He met the final and inevitable sum-
mons as he had met every emergency in
Els eventful life-with rare courage and
with unfaltering faith.
AS a lawyer he received generous
recognition as one in the forefront of his
profession, as soldier in the war for
the preservation of the union he
achieved enduring fame, as president
os the United States he maintained in
full measure the dignity and time
IGNORED traditions of that Office; as a
courage, keen sense of justice and noble,
Christian life. All of his Undertakings
We're characterized by earnestness of
purpose and reverent regard for princi-
Pie. He met every responsibility with
firm determination and performed every
Cuty conscientiously. He relied upon his
own strength and his own conception of
right in the discharge of his obligations
to the state, to the nation and man
kind. thereby marking his career with
conspicuous individuality.
The greater part of his life was given
TO pubic service aud III every service
Re was called to fill he gave abundant
llroof of his ability and integrity.
In the death of Cen Harrison every
citizen of Indiana will readily realize
that the state has lost its most dlstin-
guished citizen-one who has left the
impress of his surprising genius upon
the pages of history. and whose name
will forever be associated with the fore
most statesmen and patriots OF the
eventful age in which he lived.
Therefore, as mark of respect to
the man whose worlds work is done I
direct that all public business be srs-
pended on the day the mortal remains
OF Gen. Harrison are lying in state; that
the flags of all buildinges be placed at
half mast during the customary period
OF mourning and that such other hon-
.crs be paid the distinguished dead as
lefits the occasion.
