received quietly by members of the

whom was personally acquainted with
the ex-president, spoke kindly of him.
1t was recalled by Democratic members
of the house that they never heard Mr..
Hayes make q political speech since hS
left the White House.
Many incidents are recalled of the
last visit of the ex-president To Wash
ington in September, during the annual
encampment of the Grand Army. Mr..
Hayes, despite his seventy years, walked
briskly in the ranks. When the re-
viewing stand was reached Mr.. Hayes
saluted and walked on, but he was
called back amid the cheers of the
crowd and given the place of honor be-

scented President Harrison on the oc-

The Ohio Republican association OF
this city held meeting yesterday after
noon and appointed Daniel Grosvenor
and Ex-Governor Hoyt as committee
to confer with Secretary Charles Foster
relative to the association attending the
funeral of ex-President Hayes on Fri
day. No decision was made.
