THE DISLOYALTY OF TILDRN
Whoever refuses to give aid TO his
country in its dire distress is TO that
extent dis:oyal. Mr.. William w. Cor
coran left his country when il most
needed his aid aud counsel. To that
extent he WAS disIoyaI, and however
great his virtues otherwise, nobody
woHid propose him IA a candidate for
the Presidency. 1t is presnmiDg very
much on the forgetfulness of the peo-
pie TO propose Samuel j. Tilden for
that high office.
Immediately on the close of the re-
bellion in 1865 there was published in
New York volume of some five hun
dred pages called the 1.-The Tribute
Book" Its objsct was TO make and
preserve a record OF the muniiicence of
the American people during the war
Tor the Union. In its pages are pre-
sented copies of every subscription
paper known TO have been made to
help the good cause.
The first paper Of the kind was in aid
of the Seventh Regiment OF New York,
on the 18th of April, 1861. The first
name was Moses II. Grinnell, followed
by W. N. Evarts, Hamilton Fish, Roy
al Phelps, \. V. Street, and forty
others. each 500. In this list tie
name Of Samuel J. IIlden does not dp-
fea3' althouuh many of his political
and personal friends and associates
Inscribed their names on this Role of
Honor. Bear in mind that Mr. Tilden
is estimated to be worth nearly IS, 000,-
OOJ. Had the contributions been TO
enable the regiment to go on an ex-
cursion lie would probably have been
among the fist TO sign.
On the 22d of april came the great
subscriptions 10 the "UniOn Defense
FrId." William Il. Astor led off with
s15, 600; y. i. Stewart put down S10,-
OOts Nsoihph DChhCttf Gc,OOOs
August Belmont, 81 600; Oliver Char
lich, $500; William G. Hunt, $3.50; and
four hundred Others appear in like
sums. Here again we find the political
aud personal associates of Samuel j.
Tilden, Gut his name does not appear.
On the same day there was patri-
otIc meeting of the bench and bar of
New York city in aid of the imperiled
country. Although a lawyer of emi-
hence and accustomed to participate
in pubic meetings of the bar, the name
,f iSamHst j. IJiden docs not appear.
Il subscription was started in New
York, in hlay, TO help Frank Blair raise
II regiment ia Missouri. Again we find
the HauIe of Belmont, Phelps, and
other Democrats among the contribu-
tors. Here was case commencing
Itself 10 Democrats. But tie name of
&dHtueiJ. Itideh does not Gppedr.
ST. uuei J. Tiiden, remember, was
among the miliOnGireS of New York
city Commodore Vanderbilt, a more
patriotic millionaire, gave a steam
boat, worth about $3.50, 900.
The Tribute Book" makes record
of numerous public meetings and fairs
TO raise money for the Union; but in
all the i've hundred pages of this book
tie name qf Samuel J. Tiiden does not
appear Thousands of good names do
appear. ard We hardly recall the alb
sence of another prominent citizen.
In March, 1864, the great Metropoii-
tan Fair was held in New York. The
Tribute Book contaiued twenty pages
OF names OF contributors - several
thousands. At this fair every trade
and profession was represented. A
It. Stewart, again $4,000; James Le-
nox, 81, G0G; Morris ketchum, $1,000,
and others, daily associates of Tilden,
III smaller contributions The aggre-
gate was 81. S51 275 ~, and and not
one dOIidr from Samuel j. Ittdeh!
What shall we say of Il very rich man,
who saw, every day almost, other rich
men, his neig!ijors, giving money by
the thousands to save our country, and
lac refusing to give cent His name
is Samuel J Iilden. Seventy millions
OF dollars, it is stated in this book,
were voluntarily contributed i'll the
Northern States for the Union. Many
thousands of names OF those who Ii
some way helped 10 raise this InaSnlfl-

volume. SQmael J. IyldeH'S name IS
