M’Kinley’s State Mourning

Governor Nash Issues Proclamation Asking All People to Join in Tribute to His Memory.

     Columbus, O., Sept. 14, 3 a. m.—The news of the President’s relapse and the later bulletins indicating approaching dissolution caused profound grief in Ohio’s capital, and there was practically a suspension of business at the Statehouse.
     Governor Nash returned from Cleveland in the afternoon, and the executive office was filled with State officers and prominent public men until long past midnight. When the news of the President’s death arrived Governor Nash issued a proclamation.
     Poignant grief was written in the face of the many personal friends of the President gathered there. Great crowds of people thronged the streets in the early part of the night, and many wild rumors were afloat. There was no disorder, however, and the crowd dispersed before midnight.
