COMMODORE VANDERBILU's CASE
IMPRovINa.-NEw York, Aug. s.
Commodore Vanderbilt is making a
tough struggle against death. From
three o'clock yesterday afternoon un-
til eight o'clock last evening, he con-
tiuued to improve steadily. He con-
versed with his physicians. and also
with bis son, VIM. H Vanderbilt;
also with two of his daughtersand the
Rev Dr.. Deems The rapid manner
in which he recovered was gratifying
to all interested. His appetite became
keen about 9 O'Clock, and he express
ed desire for some eggs and beef
steak. After consultation his doctors
granted his wish. He exhibited more
vitality than at any time during this
week. It may, however. be oaly a
temporary rally to be followed by u
fnal relapse. At 9:30 his son went
home, as did also Dr.. Linsley. The
latter said he would stake HE profes-
sional reputation that the Commodore
would pass safely through the night.
At 1O:30 the Commodore was sleepin g
soundly. Among the visitors last
evening was Thuriow Weed, whe re-
mained about 10 minutes. Hundreds
of persons called and inquired as to
the condition of the invalid.
At quarter to o'clock this morn
ing Commodore Vanderbilt was sleep.
ing peacefully. His physicians, in-
cluding the chief one, DR. Linsley
remained 10 the house all night, reAev
ing each other in their watches on the
invalid. There seems to be no doubi
in the doctors minds but that their
patient has got over his last relapse
completely.

A Bad Look for Tilden.

The Brooklyn argus, the leading
democratic paper Of that city bolts the
nomination Of Mr.. T,lden and speaks
it's mind with freedom that is very
marked. Coming from his own state,
and from one of the foremost democra-
tic papers of the country, the follow
ing certainly does not speak we'll for
the so-called reformer. The Arqss
says: 3oa Hal
Where Gov. nTilden is not known
his word is credited; where he is
known, public sentiment is settled
pretty nearly one way. He has lost
confidence of reformers, and has been
broug ght forward by as bad set Of men
as ever undertook to bribe sheriff or
knock down turnkey. The great ii.
dal wave of 1874 which swept demo-
cratic governor into power in the abol-
ition state Of Massachusetts BY
change Of $1,000 votes in l02, 900, or
q change of thirty per cent, also made
Mr.. Tilden governor of New York by
$4,000 majority on total vote of 1884,
600, OF majority Of less than FIVE per
cent. His ticket lost "a 1000 of this
majority in one year. The city Of
Brooklyn, which holds one-tenth of
the vote Of the state, gave to Mr.. Til
den more than one.third Of his majori-
ty. The local ticket of his delegates
to st. Louis was defeated in this city.
the next tall. A majority Of $4,000
was wiped out, and the republicans
elected mayor, sheriff and the boards
Of alderman and supervisors. IF there
was q machine nomination for presi-
dent Of the United States it is the
present one. The texts for antagoniz-
ing Nj. Tilden will be: Personal In
sincerity to pledges of reform, incon-
sistency on the money question, an un-
satisfactory railroad record, and his
a@liation with corrupt ring men. None
OF these are very hopeful texts upon
which to bid for republican votes
which alone can elect any candidates.

PROVISION FOR PRESIDENT GRANT

is set afoot to pass bill comforting up
on President Grant ca his retirement
the Office of permanent President Of
the Smithsonian Institute, with sal
airy of $4,000 OF $]2 600 per annam
The principal object of this measure
is apparent from the reputed fact that
the President will retire from hispres-
ent Office a comparatively poor man.
The idea appears to have originated
with General Banks, who advocated it
quite warmly, and. it is said that i,
