DEVOTION TO THE UNION.

Mr.. Tilden devoted every energy
to prevent actual hostlities between
the North and South, and when the
war began he took an immediate
and decided stand on the sidesof
the Union. His convictions as to
the relations between the Federal
and State governments were clear
and strong, and he naturally cast all
the weight of his character and in
huence against secession and rebel.

zens of New York, held in the win

ton, and urged the South to respect
the Constitution and keep the peace;
but when hostilities we're precipita-
ted he was active in the counsels of
men whose endeavor was to
restore and save the Union. With

SAMUEL J. TILDEN.
The Antecedents and Career Of the
St. Louis Nominee for the
Presidency.

The Democratic nominee for Pres
;dency Of the United States is Sam
uel j. Tilden, Of New York. MFR.
Tilden was born in Columbia coun-
ty, New York, in 1914, and is in the
sixty-third year of his age. His
family was from England, and one
of his ancestors was Mayor of Tent
erden, Kent, in 1923. In 1884 one
of the members of the family emf
grated to Massachusetts, and anoth-
err one of the Tildens aided and as
sisted in fitting out the Maylower.
Governor Tilden's grandfather, John
Tilden, settled in Columbia county
at an early day, and the family has
resided there up TO the present time.
His mother came from the family of
William Jones, Lieutenant Govern
nor of the Colony of New Haven, q
man of character, standing and
note. The father of Governor Til
den was a farmer and merchant Of
New Lebanon, of fine intelligence,
good judgement and Of great popu-
larity in his section of the State,
After being carefully educated I'M.
der the supervision of his father
young Tilden entered collegea &
eighteen years of age, hut was oblig
ed to leave in a short time, owing to
his health giving way. After a pc.
Rod of rest he resumed his studies
and in 1884 entered the University
of New York and finished his AGA
demic education and training. A
the close of this course he began tn,
study of law in the Office of JOIN
". Edmonds, in the city Of Ney
York, and soon displayed all thos'
studious and sterling traits of char
acter for which he has since becom'
so celebrated.

GoyERNoR on NEW YoRK.

So prominent had Mr.. Tilden be-
come in the work of reform that the
citizens of New York, who were in
accord with his object and methods,
maturity looked to him as their leader,
and they assured him he could be
nominated and elected Governor of
the State. He consented to the use
OF his name in this connection, was
nominated, and elected by a plurali-
ty of 1876 over John A. Dix, who,
two years before, had been elected
to the same Office by a plurality of
|a3,451. In his first message Govern
or Tilden strongly recommended re
fern in theS State administration and
a restoration of the financial policy
of the time of jackson and Van Bu-
rem. The session of the Legislature
following his Inauguration was mark
ed by several measures reformatory
of the abuses of the Tweed regime,
and also Of hardly less fragrant abu-
SEES in the management of the State
canals. Upon the latter subject the
the Governor sent a special message
to the Legislature, which produced a
profound impression throughout the
State and country. His efforts in
this behalf have been crowned with
success, and have led to the prosecu-
tion and conviction of guilty persons.
Durirg his administration Governor
Tilden has secured a reduction of the
State tax and other financial reforms.
His exercise of the veto and the par
doning power has been manly and
discreet. Mr.. Tilden is now in the
fsixty-third year4of his age. He is
five feet ten inches in height, and he
has what Psychologists call the pure
Fly nervous temperament, with its usu-
al accompaniment of spare figure,
blue eyes and fair complexion. His
hair, originally chestnut, is now par
TALLY silvered with age. At the Uti-
ca Convention resolutions were pass
ed presenting his name as a candidate
for the Presidency, and requesting
the delegates to vote as a unit.

A POLITICAL

The study of political and finan-
cial subjects early became a passion
with Mr.. Tilden, and when Presi-
dent Van Buren's independent Urea
ury scheme was attacked he defendf
ed it in such a vigorous manner as
to arrest the attention ofthinlSersip,
all parts of the Union. His articles
were signed "Crino," and displayed
a thorough grip of the subject and
great ability in presenting the facts
bearing upon his side of the ques-
ton. In the fall of 1888 Mr.. Tilden
made his first appearance as a pub
lie speaker. He mounted the plat
form in opposition to Hon. n. P.
Talmadge, who accused the Demo
Gratis of having deserted the old prin-
Iciples of the party, while he had re-
NAMED firm and consistent, and
made such a mastery defense of the
party as to completely demolish the
movement started by the friends Of
the recalcitrant Senator. When the
financial revolution of 1887 broke
upon the country, Mr.. Tilden enter
ed into a discussion of the subjects
connected with that disaster, and in
October, 1910, pronounced a speech
at New Lebanon upon this subject.
which was declared to be the ablest
ever delivered fiom his standpoint.
He repudiated the policy of imitation,
irredeemable currency and ~irrespon-
sable credits, and at the same time
scoffed at the idca that the "Mother
Bank as it was called. could in any
sense be regarded as a regulator Of
the currency" These efforts intro
duced Mr.. Tilden to the people OF
the country, and he was everywhere
recognized as zone Of tue rising
young men of the country.

A SUCCESSFUL LAWYER.

Upon his admission to the bar Mr..
TiIden opened an office in the city
of New York and soon gathered eli
ents and established a character in
the legal profession. At the same
time he continued to figure in State
and national politics, and in 1874, in
connection with John L. O'Suliran,
started apapsr-inN New York called
the Daily News. 1t was edited
with ability and 500 gained a lead
ing position in the political arena.
In the fall of 1915 Mr.. Tilden was
elected to the Legislature of New
York. While in that body he sup
ported the bill to call a convention
to remodel tho Constitution of the
State, and introduced some of the
most important amendments to the
old instrument. In this body, as in
all others, he advocated the broadcast
reforms and insisted upon the rights
of the people being guarded in the
most complete manner. For some.
years after this period he devoted
his time principally to his profess
sion. and was engaged in many of
the leading cases of those times.
Prominent among them was the
Pennsylvania Coal Company rs. the
Delaware and Hudson Canal Com
ipany, and the Cumberland Coal CONF
pany of Maryland VS.. its Directors,
in 1858. In the latter case he ape
piled, for the first time, to the direcs
tors of corporations the familiar
doctrine that a trustee cannot be a
purchaser of property con6ded to
him for sale, and he successfully il
Illustrated and settled the equitable
principle on which such sales to Gi-
rectors are set aside, and also the
conditions to give them validity.
These, and other cases of like char
acter, gave Mr.. Tilden great promi-
nence, and prepared him for the
part he was still to play in the his
tory of New York and thecountry.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-07-20

he often conferred, often giving adj
vice which proved of great value to
the B Republican administration.
From the beginning he saw the
magnitude of the struggle upon
which the country had entered.
The only objections ever urged
against his views were that they
pre-supposed a war Of greater mo-
ment than the Union leaders we're
willing to predict.
ASSAULT ON THE RING.
With the return of peace to the ma
tien came the most important politi-
cal labor of Nj. Tilden's life. This
was no less than an assault upon the
Democratic and Republican ring
which ruled and SO nearly ruined
New York. Assisted by Charles
[O'Conor, he made relentless war up
on this enemy Of good government,
good order and good morals, till he
had the satisfaction Of seeing that
ring broken up, its power gone and
its members scattered to the four
quarters of the globe. Tweed had
secured the passage ola charter for
the city of New York giving over the
government of a million people into
the hands of himself, Connolly, Swee-
ny and Hall for a series Of years.
The hope of the city lay in securing
a majority of the Senate and Assem-
bly, of 1872 to succeed the Legislature
which Tweed controlled. To this end
MI. Tilden directed all his efforts,
In a speech at Cooper Union he sta
ted Tweeds plan and reused the PEG
pie against the enemies of their liber-
ties. Meanwhile he Instituted an in
vestigation of the city department
and prepared a mass of information
which was subsequently the means
of bringing the ring to justice Of
Edriving them into exile. At the sue
ceeding election he was returned tt
the Legislature fiom a city distric
and devoted himself still to the ont
object of defeating the Tweed dynas
:jty.

Rockford Troubles.

A synopsis of the bill filed against H.
Osterberg, in the U. S. circuit court, at
Chicago, and alluded to in THE ARGUS of
Saturday, will be found in this issue of our
paper, copied from the Chicago Inter
Ocean.
The Gazette publishes Lorenzo Schrick
ers name as one of the s;gners to the or
ganlzation of the St. L. r. l. & c. r. R.
If Mrs. has signed the papers he has done
so since they were filed in the recorders Of
fee. His name was not on the papers
when our reporter copied them.
Mr. Osterberg left here for Chicago Sat.
urday night and his agents here say that
there is nothing in the bill filed against him
to prevent its being thrown into the waste
paper basket in about three days-in other
words that Osterberg's lawyers will demul
Miss Hooper out of court quite speedily.
"Mebby." Time will tell.
Another neat bit of gossip is flying
around the streets to-day, as coming from
Osterberg, viz When he was asked why
Capt, Robinson and Mr.. Hawley didn't
join his new company be said "Oh,
can't afford to carry Robinson any longer
The man who carries him has to fight the
Gables and can't afford to carry on other
peoples quarrels" The idea that be
dropped Robinson and Hawley is too funny
for anything. They have given him al
the standing he has here and now they've
dropped him-they utterly refused to g
into a scheme to cheat the bondholders GU
Of the road.
By the way-it is suggested that tina
private paper so carefully locked in tn
safe, is a contract between Osterberg ant
the corporators of the new company b,
which Osterberg agrees to sell the Rock
ford road to the pew company and b,
which he is to make his pile" and thel
''let the devil take the hindmost" "Afte
US comes the deluge." There's a goo,
deal Of fun ahead, and we shall try AM
keep our readers posted.
Of course Osterberg is not disturbed b

night for New York where the petitione
