New YoRK, Nov. G.-Yonr special in Fridays
issue from Washington rclattYo to Tndcn's
shattered health Is not In tho least exaggerated,
to my positive knowledge. I hive seen him
every week for the lust two or three years. OF
Into have seen him almost datly. His pallld
appearance when saw him last at Ills head
quarters In Liberty street was really startling.
He has novcr been strong, and for year or two
past has suffered terribly with hcmorrhotds,
vulgarly called pies. Alr. Tlldcn has always
drank, but Of late he has frequently drank to
excess. think this il tho result Of lis inability
to drink much, however, as very little liquor
quickly Influences him dlsadvaatagcously.
