contracted at GAINESVILLE. The inquest will
be held during the afternoon. Sorrow over
the sad event is universal and German flags
are at half mast upon the Pacific and other
hotels and public buildings. The Tribune
building is also in mourning. The Republic
can county centra! committee, and federal
officials, together with a portion of the con-
gressional delegation from this State, the
Union Veteran Club, and the head of the
county militia organization held informal
consultations at the Grand Pacific to tender
the services of appropriate committees wher-
ever the relatives of the deceased Senator
shall arrive from Michigan. The latter will
probably be here during the afternoon by
special train and final arrangements cannot
be made until their arrival. The speech last
night is pronounced by those who are familiar
with the Senator's campaigns as by far the
most vigorous and able Of all his previous
efforts.

National Committee, the Republican State

adopted the following preamble and resolu-
tions -
During a public career of over thirty years,
Senator Chandler has exhibited such splendid
traits of patriotic and earnest manhood as to
command the respect and challenge the adj
miration of the entire country. In his public
career he pursued no end but the public good
and was inspired by no motive but an intense
love of the whole country. He hated oppres-
sion wherever he found 1t and counted nc
consequences in d%enouncing the oppressor.
He never battered away a right in the govern
ment and was satisfied with nothing short OF
absolute justice. He was a great man because
he was a true man. His opinions bore the
final test and are now upon the statute books
and embodied in the organic law Of the land
His intellectual and moral courage never
quailed, and his convictions and friendships
were in his very nature patriotic to the heart:
core. With a head as clear as his heart wa'
pure, his public life was measured merely by
his views of the public good. Wise in coun
sci and intrepid in action, he was a grea
leader and a great man. He died full o
honors and his last public utterances were TO
all honest government and al undivided ma
ton. Therefore be it
RESOLVED, That we deplOre the decease o
Senator Chandler as a great national bereave
ment and a loss to the counsels of the Re
} publican party of the nation which will b
impossible to supply. That, treasuring hi
last patriotic appeals, no higher honor can b
paid his fame and memory than following t
= the uttermost his wise and earnest ~coursels
t That we tender to the family Of the grea
Senator our most sincere sympathy in thei
I overshadowing affection. That these resolu
:. tons and preamble be engrossed aud fol
l warded to the family and friends of the d.
:. ceased Senator.
Emblcms of mourning are now on nearl
e all the public offices and the shipping. Pre-
:, ident Hayes, through Secretary Rogers, sent
S a dispatch saying that the announcement
the Senator's death is received with a dee
sense of the great loss the country has sill
tanned.
