MIR. Tilden on the Eve OF Giving Away
His city ResIdence md library.


The New York World of yesterday pub
lished an interview with one of Mr. Tilden's
most intimate and trusted friends, wherein
he stated the Gramorcy Place palace, with its
great literary and artistic treasures was to
be donated to the city of New York by Mr.
Tilden. Tho pith of the interview is ap-
pended
Some timo ago his library began to reach
such proportions that serious encroachments
were made by it on the space of the living
rooms of his old house. He had always in
tended to leave his books to the city for q
public library. 1t occurred to him then that
he could not better employ his declining
years than in preparing fitting casket for
his literary treasures aud so make his gift %
complete one. After much consideration he
concluded that no better site for d library
could bo found than his old house, If it were
only large enough. He secured the adj dining
building, took Vaux, the architect, into his
confidence and the result is that Mr..
Tilden has handsome structure SO de-
signed that ho can continue to en-
joy his old comforts and the loved
society of his books during the remainder of
life. When he goes it will be found that the
house is admirably adapted for a library and
literary institute. He has perfected all ar
rangements. Under his will the Gramorcy
| Park house and his splendid library collec-
ton VIII be lett IN trust TO the city for pub
lie library. In this, to some degree, he fol-
lows the example of John Jacob Astor in
founding the Astor library, and of Peter
Cooper in erecting the Cooper union. The
| Tilden institution will differ, however, from
others of its kind in many particulars. This
is known, however, only to the trustees. and
do not think the timo has yet come to di-
vulRe the contents of the trust deed"
"Who are tho trustees?"
"Three of Mr.. Tilden's old and valued
| friends-Mr. Henry Watterson, of Kentucky;
Mr.. Manton Marble, and Mr.. John Bigelow,
of this city"
Can you give me some idea of the value of
Mr.. Tilden's proposed gift?"
"You can calculate it easily. He has spent
about $500,000 on the buildings; his books
and engravngs are worth nearly 100000,
comprising, as they do, the most extensive
private library in the country. The prop
erty, with its contents, is worth $1,000,000.
The amount Of the endowment must leave
you to guess, but it will be ample, assure

Since John G. Thompson has abandoned his
pursuits of the office of sergeantatarms of con-
gress II does harm to state that in recent visit
Mr.. Thompson paid to Mr. Tilden in the Gramercy
Park mansion In company with Judge McKenny,
Of Hamilton, Ohio, Mr.. Tilden said: "You have
an understanding with Randall, have you not?'
This he repeated and expressed his interest in
Randall's election. / mention the matter, OF
which became informed through an incidental
conversation, only to show that Mr.. Randall has
been handicapped and not helped by Mr.. Tilden.
Behind Randall many members, who were far from
ultra against the tariff feared that a Tilden boom
was concealed and that congress would be indus
triously worked in the formation Of the
committees, &C., to continue the Tllden
regency over tho country press and the
merely emotional party following. Att the
head of this feeling was William r, Morrlspn oI
Illinois, the true organizer ofthe Carlisle forces in
the northwest, and who was Generalissimo for NJ
@, Kerr against Randall in the spsakership ool :
test eight years ago. He aud Cox were put " the
foot Of the class for opposing Randall after tho
latter became speaker hence tho Cox movement
to keep New York from going to Randall while
the northwest goes to Carlisle. Cox probably
never understood his own moral agency in the
matter. His antipathy TO Randall was used tC
stand him up, like Perkln WaTbeck by the irish
Fenians OF the fifteenth century, for king OF Eng
land. Morrison, through his cousin, Don Nor
rlson, Of 81. Louis, had strong influence In the

WE presume the Philadelphia Press will agree

advantageous to talk about something else.-Neto
York CONNER iat Advertiser.
Our able contemporary is entirely correct.
We agree that when we can't agree it is good
thing to let tho subject of disagreement
alone. We arc persuaded, however, that
there are comparatively few matters of public
importance upon which thero can be any diff.
ference of opinion between The REPUBLICAN
and the Commercial AdvertiSer. For instance
both journals being faithful organs of ad'
vanGed republicanism, must necessarily agree
that selfish aud corrupt journalist who will
wickedly and wantonly enter into con.
spiraoy to defraud the government out of more
than half million of dollars, insults sparty
and casts unjust imputations upon the ad,
ministration, ought to be placed without the
pale of decent journalism.

IL Is n fortunate circumstance that the leading

n man so exceptionally qualified for the position
rs Mr.. Carlisle Is. II cannot be said that either
of the other two candidates is In any way his equal
in THIS respect MIR. Randall and Mr. Cox have
each earned considerable reputation as parlia-
mentarians, but II Is an acknowledged faot that
Mr.. Carlisle is the superior of either. whether on
ths ilcor or In the chair. lie is thoroughly versed
IN all the ntricacies Of parliamentary law as any
man in congress, while always cool and deliberate,
and in this particular striking contrast to Ran.
dal Cox, neither Of whom Is able to restrain the
passion of excitement Never untrue to his party,
Carlisle has that fortunate judicial quality which
makes him always fair, so that In gaining the re.
spect of his political opponents he has strength
ened his power Of control as n presiding officer.
Honoring his unquestloned ability and respecting
his unvarying fairness the republican side of the
house would be moro completely under his conf
mand than IL could possibly be under that of auy
other man the democrats could put In the chair.
II is rare good fortune therefore, that this man. so
especially equipped for the duties of speaker is so
prominently and completely Unidentified with tho
particular political issue circumstances are now
forcing to the 'front.' Ills election in itself will be
a formal and definite declaration of the party
position upon tho tariff issue, will assure the
country that the democracy mean TO follow no
course of disslmulation or hypocrisy. With Car

That Mr., Carlisle is an able statesman and

was nominally in tho union during tho war,
though Horace Greeley once remarked that
Kentucky was tho bounty-jumper of the

So was Garrett Davis. Mr. Davis was
unable generally to agree with the party of
the union as how best to serve the national

he seems to have kept up good relations with
the democratic party, which as an orgauiza-
tion always seemed to think the war should
have been fought without any other than the
confederate army. All of which is a preface

How can this infamous wrong, thus certi-
fed to by Mr. Manning himself as SUCH ever
bo vindicated and made right? 1t is
rumored now that when congress meets some
other democrat than Mr. Manning will pre-
sent his certificate and offer resolution to
have him sworn in under it. In other words
the democratic house will be asked to dis
grace itself by seating Manning on certif-
cato so fraudulent that he was ashamed to
