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.
