Over the Successful Transfer of the Gov
ernment Into Democratic Hands.
Special to the Globe
New YORK, March 6-''You have come to
the setting sun when You should have gone
with the rising orb, " was the remark made
by Samuel J. Tilden to prominent Demo-
cratic politician of the West, who by reason
OF beated trains was unable to reach Wash
ington and so went to Yonkers to pay his re-
spects to the sage Of Greystone.
"Wel,' continued Mr. Tilden, who was in
high spirits, 'you have come to me at a
time when l am gratiied beyond measure
10 see you. have just received a dis patch
from Washington that the Inauguration is
complete. This land of our forefathers that
the Lord gave US for
A DEMOCRATIC HERITAGE
has been restored to the people as I have
never doubted it would be. 1t this not cause
for qualification for all the people of the
landn'
The day was beautiful. The sun shone
warmly in the granite walls. The windows
were open and Mr.. Tilden and guests passed
out on the veranda overlooking his hillside
acres, the deep valley of the Hudson and
broad waters of the river. AS they sat there
Mr.. Tilden said, among other things:
1t is to be regarded as a beginning of the
nalcyon days for the country when North
and South and East and West are once more
blended in common interests by the common
government. We shall have restoration of
the better days of the Republic because the
people desire and demand it, We shall have
It pcaceably because the will Of the people is
strong. have sometimes thought that it
WAS the great higher power that prevented
the change from coming sooner. 1t was
necessary that the people should be educated
into readiness to
ACCEPT THE CHANGE.
There might have been serious times other
wise but the known extravaganza and cor
ruption in nearly every branch of the na-
toual government has been so fragrant that
the people are ready to sustain any move
meut that looks to the reform of the public ser
sice."
The name Of Mr.. Cleveland was mentioned
and Mr.. Tildeu said: ale stand at once in
:he proudest and most perilous position. He
mas one great possession that will enable
hin to overcome all obstacles and danger-a
nigh minded singlcness of purpose and de-
votion to the trust he has accepted. With
his com parativc youth, absence from distrac-
ion by family cares, love OF hard work and
the determination 10 succeed, there is
. BRIGHT PROSPECT
Of n successful aud pure administration. The
task before him is immense. The depart
ments are full Of corruption, but he will be
equal to It. He will be equal to it you may
be- sure"
In giving the substance Of a further con-
vcrsation Mr.. Tildens guest said: "Mr. TIL
den believes that the Democratic party has
come into power 10 stay. The great business
interests OF the country are already support
lug 1t and will advocate its continuance in
power SO long as it is conservative and
fair. The banking interests of the country
have already lcaped to the support Of Mr.
Cleveland in his silver policy. Mr.. Tilden
believes the South will receive the attention
OF eastern capital and become scene of ac-
live development of its material resources, by
which the ;wo sections will be welded together
as never before and that the West as the
grest gransry OF both the East aud South will
become likewise so prosperous that the COM
mon bond VIII be firmly knit think he
rather hopes that some slight foreign complt-
cation may arise that VIII give the country
common enemy snd possibly enable her to
snatch Cuba from Spain.
