The letter Of Mrs. lTiIton which

THE TRIPARTITE AGREEMENT.
I now come in my narration TO
give an account Of the origin Of the
Somewhat famous tripartite agree
ment. Shortly after the foregoing
letter was written Mr.. Tilton return
ed to the city thoroughly discoura-
ged with the result Of his lecturing
tour. The Golden Ags, which had
then been established for about
twelve months, had not succeeded,
and was understood TO be losing
money. His pecuniary obligations
were pressing, and although his
claim against Bowen for the viola
ton of his two contracts had year
previously been nut under the exclu-
sive control Of Moulton with a
view Of settlement, no settlement
had as yet been effected. Mr.. Moul-
ton, who was sick, sent for me and
showed me a galley-proof Of an arti-
Gle prepared by III. Tilton in the
Golden Age land which has since
been paulishedain the Brooklyn pa
pers), in which he had copy of a
letter written by him to Mr.. Bowen,
dated Januaryjl, 1871, in which he
charged MIR. Bowen with making
scandalous accusations against my
moral character. This was the first
time that I had ever seen these char
ges, and / had never heard of them
except by mere rumor, Mr.. Bowen
never having at3fany time said a
word to me on ths subject. L was
amazed at this proposed publication.
! 1 did not then understand the real
object of giving circulation to such
SANDERS. My first impression was
that Mr.. Tilton designed, under
cover ofan attack upon me in the
name OF another to open the way
tor publications of his own. pretend :
