NEW YoRk, July Ga reporter went up
to Grsystone yesterday 10 sec Mr. Tilden.
He was shown 10 MIR. Tilden's room, on the
ground floor, in TIE rear OF the house. Mr..
Tilden rose slowly from his chair as bis
visitor approached, and without utteripg
word extended hia arm mechanically to.
ward him end ehook hands His hand
was soft, cold and clammy, and fel. like u
dead mans hand, as il there was no life
blood in 1t. He was dressed in white
linen coat, white tie and light tweed pants,
the latter sagging found his shrunken
limbs. - II

expression appeared to have left the eyes,
and the lipa were clossd with pale and
rigid expression tba! Was a atrong reminder
OF death. He seemed to take no notice OF
anybody or anything, and never opened
his lips, while his right hand and arm
hung down limp by his eide and shook as
II with the pslsy. Ills iace YVES pallid and
pinched around the region OF the mouth
and chin, and the whofe countenance wore
an expresHion ol utter vscuity.
The impression his appearance gave was
that Of man in the las. stages OF physical
decay, eustgined on hia feet by powerful :
effort Of the will sud the intellect. Tho
reporter, after rapid survey Of the situa-
ton, concluded that 1t WAS utterly hopeless
to expect an interview, and took his de.
pal.u.e, satisfied that it would be the ex-
tremo heighth OF inhumani.y to ask man
in such condition OF physical collapse to
run for President Of the United States.
But the friends Of Mr.. Tilden insis. that
while his physical state may be feebIa, hia
intellect is as bright and vigorous as ever.

that the free traders will carry their ;viewa
into the platform. Being asked the difar-
ence between tariff for revenue only" and

Mr.. Hurd spread it on the record in thi.
lorm: ,.r.. ..,
IL ono IS to bs very particular in his
speech, and care mora about dialectic than

q tariff only for revenus' meant that no
other tsxatlon other than tariff was to be
employed, while "a tariff for revenue only"
msans that tall taxation muss be for revenue
purposes, but it can be other than Custom
House. As either phrase must necessarily
exclude protective tariff, don't zee as
the thing is worth quarreling about. There

PHILADELPHIA, July 5-One Of the mos
terrible accidents that has happened in thi
city for years was the shocking death yes
terday OF Thos Bacon, young Btonemason
at Germantown. He with some compan
ions were on carousal, and after tn,
whole party had become well primcd with
liquor plans were laid to make demon

The suggestion is not known, but some ont

The proposition was received with uproar.
ious favor, and the whole party adjourned
to ono Of the railroad shanties near Q1een
street. As they were all employees Of the
road, they knew where the cartridges were
left and coon secured two OF them. j
The question Of who was to explode the
dangerous torpedo was next discussed.
"Oh, l can do that easily enough" said
Bacon. A large field belonging to the vii.
lisms estate, which is along the line OF the
new railroad, opposite Baird street, was SO.
lected as the spot for the explosion.
Nov, you fellows stand back while l
start this thing off," said Bacon making his
way to the centre OF the field. s.g E..5I.
The night WAS dark, and Bacon's figure
could hardly be discerned as he stopped
over the cartridge, which he had placed
on the ground. There was a pause OF sey-
eral minutes. Something seemed to be
wrong. Suddenly q terrific explosion rent
the air, and Bacon was thrown several feet
away from where he had been standing:
His frightened companions rushed mp.
Bacon, being intoxicated, had evidently
been unable to handle the clock spring as
steadily as If be had been sober, and there
had been q premature explosion. e.
He presented Q ehas;ly aight ss he lay
on the grasa. The right eye had been
blown completely out Of It's socket and the
left wasshattered and sighlless. The right
arm had been taken of at the elbow and
nothing but few shreds OF dash remained.
The left Was manned and bleeding, useless
even had be recovered. Both knee-caps
were gone and huge pieces Of fssh had
been torn cut Of tho thigh, leaving the
bones exposed.
His hat was still on bis head. Strange to
say, the force Of the dynamite had cut of
the rim aa clean ss II it had been done
with knite. Below the edges Of the bat,
the skull &ss crushed in. In spite of ali
this Bacon still lived. He was tende>Iy
picked up and carried over TO a houssnear
by, until the arrival Of an ambulslce from
the Germantown Hospital. Tlere Bacon
fingered until 1 o'clock yesterday after.
noon, when he died. He never recovered
consciousness, although IN uneasy twitch.
ing Of the body showed itself occasionally.

CHICAGO, July G.-The blue-white high
stiff felt hats Of the uniformed clubs were
everywhere apparent during the day.
These were the distinguishing badge Of

busy all day receiving kindred

several headquarters. Among the fret TO

clubs OF Philadelphia, the former attired
in brownish grey uniform with cutaway
coats and headed by the famous Woccacoe
band, and the latter wearing silken badges
conspicuously let.ered in gold bullion with
the namo Of their favored candidate.
Later in the day the New York county
Democratic club came in body uRdis.
,inRuishea by uniform excep. as to hats.
About o'clock the Mcdonald club Of
Indianapolis, $50 atroDg and bearing d
large banner on which was the portrait OF
the Indiana candidate, cane in and were
escorted to the Palmer House. An hour
later the Irving Hall Democracy from New
York, numbering l50 came by special
train, and the list ntimpor,ant arrivals for
the day closed al $50 by the appearance Of
the Tammany Hall delegation occupying
two special trains and numbering about
coo.
As its members marched up Lssalle
etfeet, escorted by the Cook County Dem
ocratic Club, snd Americas and Samuel J..
Randall clubs sand headed by the New
York Seventh Regiment Band, they were
largely conspicuous for linen busters and
portmanteaus.
The coming Of this famous organization
had been the theme OF much inquiry all
day, and there was an unusually large
gathering of people on the streets to see
them. ~
