CHICAGO, November SENATOR Zach
ariah Chandler, of Michigan, was found
dead in his bed at the Grand Pacific Ho-
in Wisconsin, and last night addressed
an immense audience at McCormick's
hall, in this city, and spoke with unusu-
al earneStnesS.
After the meeting, when he and Scna-
tor Logan and Hon. Jesse Spaulding
were sitting in his room, engaged in con-
versation, Senator Chandler complained
of indigestion, as he had complained of
thes same distressing feeling while enroute
to the city.
Mr.. Spaulding suggested that he re-
main over in the city until Saturday
night, but he said business affairs requir-
ed his attention at home, and the order
was given to have him called in the
morning at seven O'Clock. His friends
then babe him good night and left. That
is the last time the Senator was
seen alive This morning when the
Office boy called him there was
no response, and upon repetition silence
prevailed. The clerk effected an entrance
through the transom, and found that the
senator was dead. The body was not
quite cold, and the physicians who were
present decided that death occurred about
three hours previous to the discovery
The face looked tranquil, showing that
death was painless. The coroner will
hold an inquest. John B. Drake tele-
graphed President Hayes the sad intel
ligence about eight O'Clock.
From partial examination, DR.. Nc
Wicker, who was Immediately called, is
of hot hsZ
suit of sudden congestion of the lungs,
brought about by a cold contracted at
GAINESVILLE.
The speech of last night is pronounc-
ed by those who are familiar with him
to be far the most vigorous and ablest of
his previous efforts.
