Ex- President B. B. Hayes Dead.

FREMONT, o., Jan. 17.-Ex Presi-
dent HAYES died suddenly tonight
at eleven o'clock. The Elk President
rested quite well to-day, and the
members of the family were very
hopeful: but tonight there was a
change, and short time after this
the end came. 1t was well known
to the family and ply sicians that
the maladv-neuralgia of the heart
might prove fatal at any moment,
but hopes were entertained for the
best until almost the very last.
The death of ex- President Ruther-
ford B. Hayes removes strong and
eresting parsonage whose name
will be indissolubly connected with
the history of his country. Long
after the mere legislative and eco
nomic incidents OF his administration
shall have lost their Significance, the
great test to which his election and
subsequent induction In Office sub
jected the Constitution of the United
States, will still be full of meaning.
as an evidence for the stability of
the government and the patriotism
of the American people. In any
other country than our own the par
tisan bitterness that is stirred up
would almost certainly have result
ed in civil strife. Here, however,
it gave a sublime illustration of the
confidence of the people in their in
situations, though the strong feeling
then aroused has not yet sufficiently
dice out to permit his political enc
mics to appreciate and admit the
sterling qualities of the man. Moth
ngcould illustrate this more forcibly
than his manly, accomplishing ST.
lence during all the years when in
vective and ridiclle we're constantly
heaped upon him for doing his duty
firmly and fully as the standard
bearer of the Republican party.
His administration will be remem
bered fer number of important
legislative enactments. Perhaps the
most noteworthy achievement of
them all is the act for the resumP-
ton of specie payment, which marks
an important epoch in the monetary
history of the country. He will al
SO be known to posterity as the first
presidential candidate to announce
opposition as matter of principle
to second term.
His interest in his country and in
his fellow men by 70 means ended
with his retirement from active poll
teal life. On the contrary, he de-
voted himself with vigor and self
sacrificing devotion to the uplifting
of the hnmblest and most needy of
his people, and along lines which
bring neither reward nor grateful
recognition.
