opted:
The citizens of Detroit at meeting
without distinction OF party, on call OF
the Mayor, to express their feelings on the
sudden death of q. Chandler, their fellow
citizen who for more than nineteen years
the State in the National SEN
ate, resolve that his death has deprived
the State of the services OF a Senator who
in the discharge of his duties was vigilant
to the interests of his constituents, ready
to serve them without reference to their
political views and party ties. We adopt
the language of our Governor, who, de-
scribing him, says: ga member of the
Cabinet under the recent Administration
of President Grant, he proved himself a
public officer of keen sagacity, of lncor-
ruptible integrity and admirable ability. A
resident of Michigan during the whole
period of his manhood he has been active
In advancing the interests of the State
and promoting its growth. He was a
true and reliable friend; bold, uncom-
promising opponent, never misleading
those who acted with him or against
him, and impressing on every
the the conviction that he was
sincere and honest in his opinions, and
while the Governors who differed from
him may sometimes have felt that he
judged them harshlY, no one doubted his
integrity of motive and purpose. We be-
lieve there is not citizen OF Detroit or OF
Michigan who does not regret his death at
this period, when he had reached his
highest elevation of influence and dlstlnc-
ton.
In his personal intercourse with his
friends and associates he was very general
and frank, and universally esteemed and
liked. In his private business and in
management of public trust he was of
stern and incorruptibls integrity, and as
to honesty OF purpose and adherence OF
iobbing and fraud, his motives and con-
duct were above reproach or suspicion.
