The Democratic Leader.
TUESDAY, MARCH Is, 1884.
TILDEN,s POSITION.

As a great deal is being said in some of
the papers of the country relative to the
''old ticket" being nominated by the De-
mocracy, in its national convention
next July, the expressions of Hon
Samuel j. Tlden thereon may, in
this connection, be appropriately given.
In his recent interview with his old friend
ex-Congrcssman Slenger, that gentleman
says:
asked Mr.. Tilden whether he didn't
think he might indicate to the party the
proper man, in his ripe judgement, to
assume the place that common consent
assigned him to. He said: No, it
would be presumptious in me to attempt to
dictate to, or even to influence, the great
Democratic party in the selection of a
candidate from the many available and
eminently worthy men in the ranks. l
don't think the party would take it kindly
from me- He said, with increasing en-
phasis, I know the people sympathize
with me and are generous and kind in
their sentiments toward me, but doubt if
such a step would be INDUCED by them.
That is a question of individuals, and one
which all men are alike tenacious about.
There are very many excellent names men
toned. Mr.. Hoadly would be strong,
he said in response to the inquiry. Yes
Payne, of Ohio, is an excellent man, he
admitted; but he is four years older than

EVER since its inception, Harper's
Weekly has stood in the van of Repub-

remarks: 1T will not be forgotten hat
the result of the election is not a foregone
conclusion. The presidential election is
decided by states, and much the larger
number of states have Democratic admin
istrations. In this connection it can be
p~ertinently suggested that nothing but the
most ~egregious laundering can encom-
pass the defeat of the Democracy.

ceipts Of stock and Ruling Rates
-
CHICAGO, March 22.-The cattle mar
ket is strong, with receipts smaller and a
better feeling in all branches of the trade.
The week opened with the market dull
and heavy. The arrivals were not in
excess of the average, but they were
largely in excess Of the demand and hold
ers found it impossible to sustain values.
Exporters did not appear to want any
cattle, and the number required by the
eastern trade was less than usual. There
were many cattle chat were considered
good by theirowners which lacked fat and
style and there appeared to be a surplus
of common to fair and medium grades
There was a moderate inquiry for pony
built and heavy fat beeves and such sold
at a loss of only about live cents, but com-
mon grades were slow with quotations
lOcCGl5c lower.
There wa a reasonably active move
ment IN the market tor butchers stock
and prices were about the same as on the
closing days OF last week. The demand
was light, but the supply also was OF
moderate proportions and between the
Gamers and city butchers who were IN ialr
attendance about everything was taken at
steady rates.
stockers and feeders were exceedingly
dull The supply was large N the de-
mand very light. Few country orders
were here and under the circumstances
there did not appear to be any lima
to speculate on the part OF yard specu-
lators' The lew lots sold showed a
decline OF 5C@lO cents from last week
prices
As the week advances there was more
life IN the trade n the market assumed
a hrmer tone. This was because oil the
continued small arrivals. The demand
was but slightly more active than at the
opening OF the week but the small supply
and the prospect OF a light run Tor
the remainder OF the week gave
holders confidence, and they were never
enable to make a clearance at a shade bet
ter hgures than mad prevailed There
was some increase IN the export orders

apartment occupied by the girl, but did
not remain moro than an instant. Next
morning sho was found insensible from
gas, which had escaped from the burner in
the room. Tho physicians summoned
discovered that sho was about to become a
mother and made every effort to save her.
She died at six o'clock and tho police are
now looking for the man who accompanied
her to the hotel. The girl registered as
from Harper's Ferry, but there is no such
family in that vicinity. There is conse-
quentIy no clue to her identity. She is
about eighteen years old, very handsome,
with dark brown eyes and hair. She had
much expensive iowclry and her whole
appearance is ladyliko aud refined. The
general belief appears to DO that the
stranger who went to the hotel with the
girl must have turned on the gas before ho
left her room.

a MilliOnairos sudden Decease on heturn-

Marriage at nidnisht.
Samuel l.. Burt, one of Milwaukee's
wealthiost aud best known citizens, who
caused q social sensation six weeks ago by
marrying pretty and pennilcss Scotch
country maid, dropped dead Saturday
uight Of apoplsxy. A fcw days ago he
returned with his bride from an extended
tour, and tho young wife has now changed
her orange blossoms for weeds OF mourn
ing. There are many unusual features
about the honeymoon. Mr.. Burt was
preparing to move into palatial residence
that he had just completed at cost OF
several hundred thousand dollars.
Accompanied by his wife he went to Me-
tropolitan two days ago on matters relat-
ing to his large mining business, and his
death, without q symptom of illness or
| warning, was great shock to those near
him. Less than q year ago Mr.. Burts
| first wife died from apoplexy. His recent
marriage was no less surprising to the
wealthy widowers friends, mono Of whom
regarded Miss Thompl on, the comely
| Scotch woman who kept the mil)ionaire's
house, as possible successor to its late
mistress. The wedding was very quiet.
The pretty maid became first the wife and
then the widow Of one Of the richest men
in Wisconsin.
| She now iuherits all of her husbands
| fortune, no less than sl, ,0O0,OO as well
as the splendid unfinished residence over
looking Lake Michigan. MIR. Burt came
| to Milwaukee only six years ago from
| New Bedford Mass. He had been a
| banker and broker there for quarter of a
century, but was in poor health and
sought change of air. The private
banking house of 5. p. Burt Il Co., which
he established is still in existence, and he
continued his interest in il up TO the time
Of his death. In the business world he
was credited with great wealth and enter:
prise, and an important share in the rapid
industrial development OF the Northwest
which has taken place within the past few
years. He was a man OF high culture but
| did not devote much time to society.
