den paid on the Sth OF August, 1904, .
sum Of 81 800 on account, and this pay:
msnt was made promptly enough, and
wa fair share oi the amount then due,
M ali OF the articles ordered had not been
sunplied, After thatit was NO easy mat:
ter 10 get money from Mr.. Tilden, but by
repeated applications, written and per.
sonal 81 900 was received from him on the
5th Of July, 1886, = further sum Of $500

nents amounting 10 S3,6 500, out Of an &C.
count amounting to s, ,SA Is, leaving q
balance Of 1924 rs then due. This bal.
auce has not been paid since. Messrs.
Potter 4 Stymus during the past eight
years have made frequent but inefectu.
al efforts 10 get their money. They
have been put of time after time on
one pretense or another. "Mr. Tilden
could not be seen," or he was "too busy
10 attend to the matter" ale was not ut
home;" "Call another time" Mr.. Tillen
is in Europe; you must wait until he
comes back" Such were the excuses
given for Withholding payment Of the
bill, and at last Messrs. Potter & Stymus,
through their counsel, Mr.. c. N. Hall, OF
No. 8 Dey street, commenced legal pro.
ceedings against Mr.. Tilden for the re-
coyery Of the balance OF their account.
Did Mr.. Tilden meet these proceedings
fairly and squarely? Did he go into
court and show, or offer TO show, that he
had u good defense on the merits? No.
He acted the part OF pettiiogging law
yer, Of Tombs shyster, and skulked be-
hind the Statute OF Limitations TO evade
his responsibility for a Just debt. here
is Samuel J. Tilden's defense TO the &C.
