on behalf of and for the Republicans of the

Cook, recognizing in the sudden decease of
Senator Chandler, OF Michigan, the chairman
OF the notiOnal Republican convention, a great
public calamity, have adopted the following pre-
| mble and resolutions:
During public career of over thirty
years in the high counsels of the
land, his intellectual and moral courage never
quailed. His political convictions were in his
very nature patriotic to the hearts CORE With
head as clear as bis heart was pure his pub
lie life was measured merely by his views of
the public veal; wise in counsel and intrepid
| in action he was great leader and great man:
he died full of honor, and his last public utter
ances were for an honest government and an
| undivided nation therefore
| ReSolved, That we deplore the decease of Sen
| ator Chandler as great national bereavement
| and loss to the council of the nation. Senator
! Chandler has exhibited such splendid traits of
| patriotic and earnest manhood as to command
the respect and challenge the admiration of the
whole country. In his public career he pur-
| sued no end but the public good and was in
splred by no motive but an intense love of the
| whole country. He hated oppression wherever
| he found it, and counted no consequence in
denouncing the eppressor: He never bartered
| away right, and was satisfied with nothing
| short of absolute justice. He was great man
| because he true man. His opinions bore
| the final test and are now upon the statute
| books and embodied in the organic law of the
| land.
Reso1ysd, That treasuring his last patriotic
appeals, no higher honor can be paid his fame
and memory than following to the uttermost
his wise and earnest counsel.
Resolved, That we tender the family of the
great senator our most sincere sympathy in
their overshadowing affection.
| tC'SoMe0, That these resolutions and pre-
amble be engrossed and forwarded to the fam,-
~ and friends OF the deceased senator.
