Letters of coincidence We're received

My Dear Mrs. Dingley: I have called sever
al times during Mr.. Dingley's illness and
again this morning on hearing of his death
to show the profound interest. which, in
common With others, l have felt in his be-
half. I know that no words relieve
your sorrow but 1 take the liberty TO ex-
press my sympathy and also apprecia-
ton Of his long. brilliant and useful career.
AS a resident Of the district he so ably rep
resented, and almost a neighbor, l know
that among his constituents the news OF his
death will be especially deplored. There was
no better man in the public service. If l
can be OF any service l trust you will COM
mand me, and believe me, sincerely yours,
John D. Long.

14-Dear Madame: While your family weeps
a nation mourns. The legendary ingratitude
of a republic is refuted The personal and
public services of Nelson Dingley are appre-
ciated, gratefully acknowledged, and will
not be forgotten History will faithfully
preserve the record of his talent and zeal
and mis- devotion to the public good. l can't
forbear to put in evidence my estimation Of
his services. Ny relations with him were
largely personal. Because OF this was
able to appreciate his great grasp OF public
affairs. His accurate Judgment in all ques-
tons OF currency and finance covered him
with conceded authority, while the purity
Of his personal character and the upright
ness Of his motives won the confidence and
has this day fallen. Your personal bereave-
ment and the grief Of his children may be
assuaged, If any abatement can be found in
the fact that your loss is also our loss; that
many thousands of whom you can never
know stand in reverent but tender synpa-
thy with your affection. Sincerely yours,
Lyman j. Gage.
The Shoreham, Jan. Any Dear Mrs.
Dingley: I wish to say how much we have
felt the death of your husband For him I
have learned to feel a sincere regard Our
few months of association the joint high
commission had taught me to appreciate his
worth as a man as well as a statesman. His
surviving colleagues on the commission will
doubtlessiy unite in some tribute of regard
and respect for him, but l thought I would
like to express to you and your daughter nv
own personal sympathy in this your great
affliction, and 1 know If my wife was here
she would like to join her sympathy with
me. Believe me to be yours faithfully,
L. H. Davies
House of Representatives Washington, Jan.
4.-Dear Mrs. Dingley: No death has oc-
CURED in years which has caused such sin
cere and profound sorrow as that of Mr.
Dingley. No member of the house of repre-
sentatives has SO thoroughly impressed him
self upon the country as a conscientious and
able statesman DlQRlay
tered the Forty-seventh congress together
and his entire career has been model for
the people of our country to follow. We
have many excellent men in congress- but
l fear it will be long time before our coun-
try can boast of a man who has al the ex-
cellent qualities of your lamented husband
Ny family and myself express to you our
deepest sympathy. With regards, truly your
friend, Joseph Wheeler.
