The Onio Republican association will
hold a meeting this evening to take aD-
propriate action. The Republican Senate
caucus called for tonight has been post

ex-president,
The navy department has designated
Captain Howell and Commanders Dickens

They left for Fremont tonight. The at
torney general ealled the attention Of the
Supreme Court TO the death OF the ex-
president and the court adjourned. While
the knowledge of eX-President Hayes Sc
rious illness had somewhat prepared SEN
atorS and representatives here for the sad
news Of his death, still 1t came with
shock to many who knew him intimately
and were hopeful of his ability to resist
the last attack. Senator Sherman was
perhaps more intimately associated with
ex-President Hayes than any other sena-
tor. and as member OF his cabinet was
officially associated with his administra-
ton. He was deeply moved, and after
the Senate adjourned at his motion, said:

one can know another. He was always
times failed TO say Mo- when it would
have been better for him to have done so,
because his disposition was to oblige
everyone. The south should feel pro-
foundry grateful to him, for with Infinite
courage he extended to the white men of
that section an opportunity to recognize
their states at the time when they had
been bitterly unjust to him. The death
of Hayes comes TO me like sudden blow,
but | believe he was as well prepared for
death as human nature will permit any
Of us to be.
Senator Brice spoke very feeling1y of
General Hayes, whom he knew well. 81
will at the proper time, - said he, s'pay
my tribute to the worth of Mr.. Hayes as
a man, citizen and public official. AS a
Democrat, l criticized with much hate
and great feeling the conduct and course
of affairs by which he became president,
but the kindness, fairness, warmth and
tenderness of the ex-president was such
that | was never able to feel
any sense of resentment against
him individually. can now
see his administration as president soft
ened as he was growing out OF the civil
war and which led to that perfect union
of blessings which we are now enjoying"
The death of ex-President Hayes was
received quietly by members of the
House, nearly every one OF whom were
personally acquainted with the eX-presl-
dent, and spoke kindly OF him. In
speaking of the sentiment OF the Demo
Gratis of Ohio towards Mr.. Hayes, Repre-
sentative Cultivate, Democrat, said:
seThe Democrats of Ohio always regarded
him as a conscientious man, patriotic
and devoted to the interests of his state
and country.'
Representative Dugan. Democrat, said:
-lo,. 10
Democrats never blamed him personally
for the result in 1875. He did no more
than Tilden. They both permitted their
party friends to work the mat
ter out and 1 do not think any blame is
in the minds of Democrats
towards Mr.. Hayes personally. He was
a popular man, patriot in war and patriot
in peace and loved the whole Union.''
Representative Caldwell said: s'There
is deep regret among Ohio Republicans.
Mr.. Hayes career was one of the most re-
of any public man in the coun-
try.'
Mr.. Burrows of Michigan said: EtPresi-
dent Hayes deserves and will hold an
honorable place in the history of this

The Easqing Star pays this tribute to
the x-president: ''That great man died
when Rutherford B. Hayes breathed his
last cannot be questioned. He was not
brilliant man, but one in whom there
were qualities far more desirable than
that ephemeral sphere which captures the
and moves the multitude to
applause. Underlying every
public act of the ex-president there was
solid principle, and SO far as the people
were permitted glimpses into his
home life, the same principle seems
to have controlled his private
affairs Those who pride themselves on
being practical politicians may have but
a feeble commentator for his administra-
ton as chief magistrate, but their faint
praise cannot affect his character nor is it
in the power of auy man to undo the
great good he undoubtedly accom-
plished''
They selected him governor of Ohio,
and he failed IN no duty that promised to
exalt the commonwealth that gave him
high honors in return for brainy devo-
ton. AS member OF the House of Rep
he was firm friend of all
that was honest and true. AS president
Of the United States-inaugurated after
the nations history-he set his face
against all manner of wrong and gave un-
fiinching encouragement to labors of
charity and political righteousness.
That such course should result in super
fetal unpopularity was to be expected,
but time will bring justice.
