the setting sun, when you should have gone
with the riaing orb" was the remark made
by Samuel j. Tilden to prominent Demo-
cratic politician Of The West, who, by reason
of belated trains, was unable TO reach
Washington, and so went to Yonkers yester-
day to pay his respects to the sage OF Grey
stone. Well" continued Mr. Tilden, who
was in high spirits you have come to me

from Washington that the lnau-ySaEon IS

the land2
The day was beautiful. The sun shone
warmly on the granite walls. Toe windows

hillside acres, the deep valley of the Hudson
and the broad waters OF the river. AS they

In giving me the substance OF further CON
