BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
A PROCLAMATION.
_To the People of the United States_:
Garret Augustus Hobart, Vice-President of the United States, died at his
home in Paterson, New Jersey, at 8:30 o'clock this morning. In him the
Nation has lost one of its most illustrious citizens and one of its most
faithful servants. His participation in the business life, and the
law-making body of his native State was marked by unswerving fidelity
and by a high order of talents and attainments; and his too brief career
as Vice-President of the United States and President of the Senate
exhibited the loftiest qualities of upright and sagacious statesmanship.
