was found dead on his bed last Satur-
uay morning. He had been for some
time addressing large meetings ut va
rious places in Wisconsin OH the pOlit-
zeal issues Of the day. On TIL ursday
he spoke twice at GAINESVILLE in al, ope,.
tent, addressing very large audiences.
On Friday he went to Chicago, and in
the evening addressed Il large meeting,
speaking for nearly two hours with
more than usual energy and earnest
efforts and brilliant speeches of his
life. After the meeting, he went to
his hotel, accompanied to his room by
his friend. Mr.. Jesse Spaulding, of
Chicago, who remained with him till
half past eleven o'clock, when, after
offering to stay over night with Mr..
Chandler, they shook hands and bid
each other good night, Mr.. Spaulding
arranging to have him called at seven
o'clock, giving him time to take the
Michigan Central .rain for Detroit at
nine o'clock
1t was thought by Mr.. Spaulding and
others in Chicago that this was the last
that Mr.. Chandler had been seen alive.
But it seems by statement in De-
troit paper that Mr.. Willetts called on
Mr.. Chandler after Mr.. Spauiding had
left and asked him to go with him 10y
the Lake Shore road to Detrait, but Mr..
Chandler having ordered carriage to
meet him at the Michigan Central De-
pot decided to 60 that way. Mr.. Will

after twelve O'Clock, In the afternoon
when Spaulding was with Mr. hancl9I
room he caushed and raised some, COM
planned of pain and said he had taken
cold in the tent at GAINESVILLE. About
4 o'clock he lay down saying he would
take a nap and asked to be called Il,
five. A little before five he walked
and got up saying the pain
walked him. He also complained
of pain and coughed and
raised in the evening. But it seems
he apprei,ended no danger, us he re-
piled to telegram from Detroit asking
him to address meeting there Mon
day evening, to tell them that he
would. And yet before that he had
expressed himself glad that he was
through making speeches. But some
time between II 80 and seven O'Clock
he died. He had evidently undressed
and gone to bed, had probably riser
and put his undercoat around his
shoulders and sat down on the side OF
the bed and either lay down or haC
fallen back on the bed, his legs
from the knees being off the bed
one foot touching the floo1
and the other nearly touching il
