The Nineteenth President of

A BRAVE UNION SOLDIER.
Commander of the Loyal Legion,
Governor of Ohio, and Reformer.

—Went From the Wblte llr.ute Back
to His Farm—Xo Change In Blaine's
Condition—Cause of Butler's Death.
FREMONT, 0., Jan. 17.—ExiPresident
Hayes died at 11 o'clock tonight, but the
information of his death was m>t known
for Borne time later, as everything was
kept exceedingly
quiet in tlja vicinity
of the liases man
sion. The fearly re
port that the condi
tion of ihtt ex-presi
dent was fin proving
and he wjts resting
easily had allayed
suspicions,?so the
sudden announce
ment by WVob Hayes
HAYEB. that his father had
died proved a shock to all. Sr. Hayes
said that the condition of his father took a
sudden change early in the evening, and
rapid dissolution followed.
Gen. Hayes' sickness had been' watched
during the day and evening by I>r. Hiliiss
and the friends of the general-ind, as is
usually the case, many conflicting rumors
were ailoat, but an interview eajly in the
evening with Rutlierford B. Iljiyes, jr.,
appeared to reduce the facts tr> a state
ment that his condition was practically
unchanged. The members of she fam
ily has spent the day quietly
at home and nothing seemed to indicate
that the death of the general was Expected.
Webb Hayes went to the bank wjUere he is
employed as usual this morning. The
family have all along been reticent con
cerning the condition of the ex-president,
and the attending physician fol
lowed the same course. Tjhe exact
seriousness of his condition therefore
could not be ascertained. As stated in
these dispatches last night, however, there
seemed to bo a great deal of anjiuty ex
pressed b}* the friends of the family as to
the true condition of the patienf. Webb
Hayes late this evening said hjs father
had passed a comfortable day, hjul rested
quietly and seemed in a mo?t cheer
ful mood. Miss Lucy Elliott; Keeler,
a relative of the Hayes family, sev
eral hours with the ex-president today.
An Associated Press correspondent to
night interviewed a personal Irie&cl of the
family, who said that the ex-pres|lent was
seized with a cold in Columbus lagst Satur
day while drivine to the Union and
asked for a stimulant. This sd revived
him that he insisted on returning home,
saying: "I would rather fdie in
Spiegl grove than live anywhere else."
After boarding the train he wHi seized
with violent pains in the which
lasted until after his return hoSne. He
was treated for angina pectoris, atfd, while
relieved of distress, his heart nev<*r recov
ered vigor, and life was suddenly termi
nated by paralysis of the heart wlrfle lying
in his room. 5
Frequently he referred to a visit'made to
his wife's grave on the preceding Sunday,
and spoke of the quiet beauty of tfce snow
covered scene. He said he almoM wished
he was lying there. "And yet," he said,
"my life is an exceptionally one."
His last words were: "I know \am go
ing to where Lucy is," spoken to his fam
ily physician with the utmost jearnest
ness. He passed quietly and painlessly
away at 10:45 in the evenrntr, surrounded
by the members of his household. 'Funeral
services will be hel l Friday, aivt Gen.
Hayes will be placed beside
wife in Lake wood. >

upon voters instead of upon population. In j
August. 186f>, he was renominate.l for congress
by aec.aniatioa and re-elected. He supported
the impeachment of Andrew Johnson, and won
a reputation in the house as a working legislator
rather than as an orator. In ISS7 ha was nom
inated bjr the Republican convention for gover
nor of Ohio aud was opposed by Alien G. Thur
msn. Gen. Haves was elected, but the Democrats
c *rried the state legislature and gent Thurman
to the I nited States senate. As governor he ad
vocated amendments of the election laws and
other important measures, and in 1869 he was
renominated for governor, to which office h®
was re-e ected by 7,"»» majority over G. If Pen
dleton, the Democratic nominee. In his second
inaugural address, January 10,1870, he attacked
the system, advocated judicial appoint
ments for long terms and a monthly
reduction of the national debt, as well
as recommending a commission to exammo
and report upon the management of railway
companies. At the end of his term he refused
ti'e nomination for the United States senata
offered him by a combination of anti-Sherman
Republicans aud Democratic members of the
legislature. In 1872 Gen. Haves was defeated as
Republican candidate for governor by a ma
jofcjty of 1,;jOO. He refused the position of as
sistant treasurer of the United States, offered
him by Grant, and in 1873 fcstabiished himself at
Fremont, intending to retire from public
. ®- ' Q 1875, however, he was again nom
inated for governor bv the Republican con
vention as the strongest Republican candidate
to oppose William Alien, the Democratic nomi
nee. In this campaign ho came out strongly in
favor of the resumption oi specie payment and
in the cause of secular education, the two main
issues oi the campaign. By this victory and as
an advocate of an honest monetary system no
won a position in the foremost rant of the pub
lic men of the country, and was at once
spokea of as a presidential possibility. On
March 29, 1876, Use Republican state coa
vention instructed the state delegation
t j present the name of Rutherford B. Hayes to
the national convention, and to support him ia
that body. The principal candidates before the
national convention were James G. Blaine,
Oliver i l . Morton, Benjamin H. Bristow, Roscua
Conkling and Gen. Hayes. Hayes had sixty-oil©
votes on the first ballot, 378 being necessary to a
choice, but his support slowly but steadily grew
until,on the seventh ballot, theopposition to Mr.
Blaine, who had been the leading candidate,
was concentrated upon Hayes, giving him the
nomination, which was afterward made unani
mous. In his letter of acceptance he reiterated
his views as expressed by him in previous pub
lic utterances, deprecated a division of political
parties 1 a-ed on distinctions of race or on sec
tional lines, and expressed the hope that the
people might obtain for themselves the bless
ings of an honest and capable local government.
llis persoaal position upon the acrimoni
ous dispute as to whether he or Samuel
J. Tildea, the Democratic nominee,
was _ elected to the presidency in
1876 is illustrated by a letier tiate4 Columbus,
()., November 27, 1576, written by him to John
Sherman at New Orleans, in which be says: "A
fair election would have given us about forty
electoral votes in the South—at least that many.
But we are not to allovr our friends to defeat
one outrage and fraud by another. There must
he nothing crooked on my part. Let Mr. Tiiden
have the place by violence, intimida
tion and fraud rather than under
take to prevent it by means that will
not bear the severest scrutiny." Ia the
end the question of which of them was elected
to the presidency was referred to a committee of
live senators, five judges of the supreme court
and five representatives, and their decision was
to be final unless set a«ide by a concurrent vote
of two-thirds of both houses of congress. The
commission refused to go behind the returns,
and on March 2 declared Rutherford B. Hayes
elected by a vote of eight to seven. President
Hayes was inaugurated March 5, 1877,
and api>oiatod as his cabinet William
M. Evarts, secretary of state; John
Sherman, secretary of the treasury; George W.
McCrary, secretary of war; Richard \V. Thomp
son, secretary of the navy; David M. Key,
postmaster general; Charles Devens, attorney
general; aud Carl Schurz, secretary of the in
terior At the beginning of his administration
the couutry was still suffering from the effects
of the panic of 1873. aud the feeling was bitter in
the South. In both South Carolina aud Louisiana
two sets of state officers and legislatures,
oue Republican and the other Democratic,
claimed to have been elected by a majority of
the popular vote. Federal troops which had
been stationed at each state house told in favor
of the Republicans, but Hayes, determined that
the upholding of local governments In the
Southern states by Federal troops must come
to au end, withdrew the troopg, after
adopting conciliatory tactics to preserve
peace. This gave the Democrats control
but his policy was upheld by the thinking peo
ple of the North as well as the South, who felt
that the people of a state should be left to work
out their own political salvation, though many
Republican politicians condemned his policy
because it loosened the hold-of (he Republican
party in the South. President Hayes begun his
administration by earnest effort for civil servica
reform. Competitive examinations were intro
duced tor the appointment of cierks and political
influence less regarded. The president's appoint
ments were generally approved by the pub
lic. On May 26, 1877, in a letter to the secretary
of the treasury he desired that the revenue col
lection be free from partisanship and conducted
ou a business basis. On June 27, 1577, by au ex
ecutive order he directed that no officer be per
mitted to take part in any political organization
or campaign or be assessed for political pur
poses. This was heartily approved by the gen
eral public, but fiercely reseated by professional
politicians. On March 3 congress adjourned
without passing the appropriation for the army,
and an extra session was called for October li>.
During the summer grave trouble arose from
railway strikes and the president was called
upon to call out Ftbeederal troops, which he
did in July. In his first annual message, De
comber 3, 1877, he urged the resumption of
s(>ccie payment; in regart to the restoration of
silver as a legal tender he urged that all bonds
issued since February 3, 1873, be payable
in gold or coin of equivalent value,
but all prior to that in gold oaiy; he
pointed out soiuo of the dangers of an
unlimited coinage of silver, and insisted
oa civil service reform. These recommeada
t ons were not heeded by congress, and the
house of representatives passed a bill practically
repealing the resumption act He vetoed the
"Bland bill" making silver a legal tender unless
otherwise specified in the contract, but it was
passed over his veto. During 'the same ses
sion the house, which was Democratic, ie~
so.ved to iuquire into the allegations of ira id
in making the returns of votes cast for
the presidential electors in 187 S. '1 his investi
gation amounted to nothing, lu October, IX7B,
he ha l to put a portion of the territory of N?w
Mexico under ruartiallaw owiug to the opera
tions of bands of desperadoes. In his message
of December 2, ls7s. President Hayes stated
that in lxjuisiana and South Carolina the ■
vote had been overridden. On January 1. j
1879, specie payment was resumed. On Janu- I
arv n, 1877, Chester A. Arthur, collector ol eus- !

Turner Could Not Win if All the Dem-
ocrats Went to Him.
The Steering' Committee at Wanhlngtoa
City I'rges Member a to Cphold the
Cancas—Allen Likely to (iain Votes
Today and Be Victorious Tomorrow.
OI.YMPI A, Jan. 17.—[Special.]—The con
viction is strong tonight that Senator
Allen will be re-elected. The strength
shown by him today lias demoralized the
opposition, and assurances are abundant
that the Turner lorces will break
up early. To hold men together
for a long struggle, the cohesive
intluence of a hope of success is
needed, and this the supporters of Turner
are without. Most of them realize that
they are already following a lost cause,
and when they have given the judge such
evidence ol their good faith as a reasona
ble man could ask, they will he disposed
to put an end to the contest, Judge Tur
ner lacked thirty votes today of
enongh to elect. How utterly hopeless
his candidacy is is snown by the fact that
he would have to secure three more votes
than the entire Democratic strength and
hold all the support lie had tod.if in order
to win. He cannot do any of these
things. It is certain that the Democrats
intend to stand together for their
own candidate for the present, but if they
should split up Allen would secure at
least as many of their votes as Turner. As
to the Populist vote, it can be said that
Turner cannot win over more than one of
the third party men. Attempts have been
made by the Turner lieutenants to cotnpel
the little band of third party men to sur
render, but eight of them have stood in
vincible against the assault. The ninth
man, Collins of Spokane, has Turner lean
ings on account of local interests.
The Turner members of the legislature
are chafing under the rule of the aggrega
tion of political hacks that have taken
charge of the Turner campaign and resent
in vigorous language the assumption of
authority by men who have no votes and
who handicap the efforts of those who
have. The odor of political putrefaction
in the Turner "cemetery" keeps these
members out of the headquarters who are
friendly to the judge, but who do not feel
that they are called upon to follow him to
the tomb.
A good many of the supporters of Turner
do not forget the leading fact that the
main business of the legislature is to pans
needed laws, and that the people will
not look with favor upon a waste
of time over the senatorship.
They understand that their constituents
expect them to end the fight after a reas
onable trial of strength and go ahead with
the undisturbed consideration of measures
that the public welfare demands.
There are enough members of the class
referred to to bring about the election
of Mr. Allen and they will give him
their support before many ballots are
taken. These men will avert the storm of
public indignation that would arise in the
state should the contest become a pro
longed one and the legislature be driven
by the rivalries of the situation into ignor
ing its real legislative duties.
The indications are that Allen will gain
on tomorrow's ballots, and lie may secure
enough additional votes to elect, but the
opinion prevails that his election will
not occur before Thursday. He needs
but seven votes to have a majority.
Sargeant's absence does not weaken
him, as if the senator was
present and voting 112 votes? would be cast
and fifty-seven would be necessary to a
choice. When, as today, only 111 votes
are cast, littv-six are sullicient to elect, the
law only requiring a majority of those
present, providing there is a quorum. Two
members who did not sign the caucus call
or attend the caucus this morning voted
for Ailen—Senator Kinnear ami Repre
sentative Weed. Senator ilorr was chair
man of the caucus and Senator Uutter
secretary. Forty-six members were pres
ent and all voted for Allen except Senator
Forsythe, who, however, felt bound by the
action of the caucus and voted for Allen
in the senate. The fact that Senator
Allen is the regular Republican nominee
ami nominated, too, by more than a ma
jority of all the Republican members of
the legislature, gives him a powerful
prestige anil forces tnose Republicans who
opposed him into the attitude of resisting
the duly registered will of their party.
The probable result of such an attitude
as they are now taking upon their party
standing, is a matter that these men are
now considering, and this line of thought
is having its etlect upon them. Ail the ar
guments that justify party organization
are in favor of the caucus method,and those
who persist in rebelling against the
action of a caucus here, are likely to have
the precedent thev are seeking to estab
lish return to plague them in the
future. When, hereafter, one of them
secures a nomination, the same
principle they now advocate would
justify the Republicans of the district in
putting up any number of candidates.
The feeling is strong among the loyal Re
publicans that the men who oppose t:ie
cardinal principle of majority rule are
simply sharpening a knife that may be
applied to trie jugular of the Republican
party in this state.
The following di?* patch from eminent
Republican Inited States senators has
create 1 a deep impression here tonight,
and w nl undoubtedly exercise an imluem e
on Republicans WHO are standing out
against a caucus:

To fully understand this dispat h it
must be known that the senators wiio-e
names are signed above are a committee
appointed by the Republicans of the
senate to lo k alter the Western
senatorships. The next senate will
probably have a Derncratic majority
of one or two, but many of the
democrats will Uiiiouuw ur new met!,

want to have straight-out Republicans

Mr. Thompson has convinced himself that

THE FIRST BALLOT.
Incidents of the l)sy in Honse and Sen.
ate— The Nominating Speeches.
OITMPIA, Jan. 17.—[Special.]—The result
of today's balloting for United States sen
ator justified the predictions of Senator
Allen's friends. He had forty-nine votes
in both houses, all the senators and repre
sentatives l»eing present and voting, ex
cept Senator Sargeant, who was compelled
to iro to Buckley on account of the de
struction of bis property in that town's
recent lire. Senator Allen lacked seven
votes of securing a majority of the 111
votes cast. There was no choice in either
house, as Allen wu|i two short of a major
ity in the senate and six below the re.
quired number in the house. Under the
Federal law relating to senatorial elec
tions, but one ballot can be taken on the
first day, but tomorrow, when both houses
will meet at noon in joint session, ballot
ing may be continued until a choice is
made, or the convention wishes to dis
solve.
The honse met at 10 o'clock, but it at
tended to business only in a listlt ss way.
Interest was absorbed in the approaching
senatorial roll call, and alter the reading
and reference of tifteen more bills a recess
was taken until 11:4f>. During the time
that the house was in session Judge Tur
ner sat in a chair in the lobby watching
the routine proceedings and waiting fur
tho fateful roll cail. Later he visited the
senate chamber, and was present in the
upper house while the ballot was taken
tiiat showed him that he had but nine
votes there out of thirty-three.
During the house recess visitors crowded
into the hall, ami when the representatives
w» re calle I to order again the limited
space tor spectators was packed. Speaker
Arrasmith inquired if there were any prop*
ositiuiis to he offered, that being trie order
which the house h.id reached, but there
was no response, 'ihe house had ex
hausted its propositions, and the in
vitation did not extend to proposi
tions lroin the lobby. The speaker,
after causing the law governing elec
tions of senators to be rea I, suggested that
no time lor taking the lirst day's ballot
had been lixed, apparently; and inquired
if any member knew whet tier or not it was
obligatory to wait until 1~ o'clock. A de
bate on the question, participated in by
Hush, Ludden an.l Tucker, lasted until
almost l-\ when Mulkey offered a resolu
tion that aroused curiosity, as it was sup
posed to have some beanng on the coming
tight. It proved to be only a provision for
ttie payment <>t a claim for ?_'<> lor work uu
the capitol building, and was quickly put
out of the way by adoption.
Then Speaker Arrastnith, at 12:01, de
clared that nominations were in order for
senator. btierman of \V hat< om made a
fervi 1 delimit on of Judge Turner's thar-
U't-'r and a sketch of hi career. His mention
of the name of iirant was applauded, an<l
the lloor under the Spokane delegation
was stamped upon when lie concluded.
