SAMUEL J. TILDEN.
Gov. Tllden. was born at New Leb-
anon, in the county of Columbia,
State of New York, in the year 1914.
In 1882, in his eighteenth year, young
Tilden. entered Yale college,, but soon
withdrew from it on account of ill.,
health, and in 1884 became a student
at the University of New York, where
he completed his college studies. He
studied law in the Office of Judge Ed
munds, in New York city, and in the
law school of the university. In 1887
Mr.. Tilden took an active part in the
newspaper and 0ratorical discussions
of President Van Buren's sub-treasury
project, and from that: time forward
continued to be an active worker in
the Democratic ranks, and his abilities
as a disputant were widely recognized
in his native State. In 1914, for more
effective service in the Polk campaign,
he founded newspaper called the
News, and remained at the head of its
editorial department until after the
Presidential election.
His first public service began in the
fall of l846, when he was elected to
the State legislature. While a men,
Der of that body he was elected to the
convention for the remodeling of the
constitution of the State, which was
to commence its sessions a few weeks
after the legislature adjourned. Soon
after this the young politician, dis.
gusted at the defeat of Silas Wright
for governor, determined to abandon
public affairs, in part at least, until his
fortunes could be fairly established pc.
cuniarily from the practice of his pro.
fession. This course he resolved upon
deliberately, it seems, from a consider
alton of the desirableness of a compe-
tence as foundation for a successful
political career. He remained in re.
tirement, actively working out his
chosen career, until 1869. Soon after
his Inauguration as governor Mr.. Til.
den commenced 4 war upon the canal
ring, a horde of thieves scarcely less
rapaci0us than the monster that had
been destroyed in New York city. He
succeeded in breaking up the brigand
band and arresting the progress Of its
plundering schemers. The measure of
success achieved in this direction by
his administration enabled him to die.
tate the policy and candidates of his
party last fall, and to secure full en-.
dorsement before the people.
During the war Mr.. Tilden, though
not in public life, was understood to
be war Democrat, and his affiliations
were with that section of the partv.
although in the convention of 1854 he
was a member of the committee on
resolutions which reported the fatal
platform. His friends claim, that he
opposed the peace resolution in the
committee, and advised McC Clellan Ia
repudiate it in his letter Of accept.
