FREMONT, o., Jan. 1S.-Nothing more
can be secured concerning the death
bed scene of eX-President Hayes. The
Hayes family are closely guarded in
their conversation, and will not say
more concerning it. They state that
they do not wish any more notorlety
than possible and that they do not want
anything more said about the death
scene. The mansion today has been
kept very quiet, the members
only occasionally coming down town
and then remain but short time.
Birchard Hayes and family arrived Oh
the early morning train from Toledo,
while Scott came from Canton. Iele-
grams of coincidence pour in upon the
family, and from the leading and most
prominent people of the United States.
The ones most prominent are as fol
lows:
John Wanamaker. from Washington,
telegraphS: Il beg to assure you OF my
sincere sympathy. Sixteen years ac-
quaintance with your father rlpened
into affectionate regard for him."
William NJ. Evarts says: we all
send our love and sympathy. Nothing
but the great severity of the weather
prevents our coming to the funeral"
John Sherman says: Il received
with profound sorrow the announce
ment of the death of your father. His
eminent service in the most exalted
position is appreciated by all the people
of the United States. | deeply sym

GRIFFIN Fremont
The grief of all Fremont is something
touching. The deceased president was
we'll known to almost every person III
the city. The little boys and girls long
ago learned to love him, and the older
people looked upon him as a sort
of father, whose directions IL
were we'll to follow. Today
strong mems eyes wetted up Will
tears as they talked about the good
man who had departed from them.
Editor |. NJ. Keeler, of the Fremont
journal, said that Gen. Hayes was al
ways foremost in everything that
was going on. ANY kind of pu0-
lie project or meetings for pur-
poses of public improvement were sure
to have his hearty cooperation.
He was usually the presiding ofhcer
of such gatherings, and his everyday
life has been as simple and unaffected
as that of the humbleSt citizen. Editor
G. S. LambertSon, Of the Messenger,
said Gen. Hayes was one Of the most
obllging men he had ever met. lie
seemed to take especial delight in con-
terring favors where he could. HIS
magnificent library was always placed
at the disposal Of those who wished to
use it.
