The Death of the Democratic
Party Tilden Did 1t.
New York Herald.

New York Herald.
Over al HE land q wall Of sorrow
has gone up for AIr. Tilden. No lat,
Ter than last Tuesday morning be
posed as the democratic Moses to
lead his party out of the Wilderness;
now lies he in the pit Of the impossi-
Die and not a swallo VITAL or a short
hair so poor as to do him reverence.
We hoped better Of him. In our
turn we admired him, The fame of
the Ring breaker went before him
all over the land. From his seat in
the governors chair at Albany he seem
ed able to vault at bound INTO the
white honse. The work Of the
electoral comm ission left him, it is
true, a private but respected citizen,
but the strength for a bound INTO the
presidency in 1880 was believed 10
lie latent in his muscles. Alas! Ga
Tuesday night this fond illusion van
ished, Instead OF the "unterriGed"
athlete, 100 proud in the CONSCIOUSNESS
of his power to utter a sulky word Of
the battle he had lost, we behold a
'lean and slippered pantaloou'' pip
ING in a doting treble of the wrongs
he had endured at the hands of those
who had overtbrown him 1t was
a sad spectacle. Maudlin tears seem
ed yelling from the eyes winch we
had pictured as glowing with the bold
gaze Of the gladiator, conscious of the
ability to roll his antagonist in the
dust when next they entered the
arena. Mr.. Tilden, we know, is an
able man. He has done services to
the state and the city which he should
be sorry to see forgotten. He has
served his party also with a degree
Of ability and faithful zeal which gives
him a high rank as a partisan politi-
clan. That he is going to spend the
remainder of his days in whining and
complaining that he did not get the
reward he thought himself entitled
to will bring upon him a contempt
greater than his worst enemy could
desire. The American people arc a
manly people; they do not like tears,
