Samuel j. Tilden Dead.

Samuel Jones Tilden died at $50 o'clock
Wednesday morning OF last week, at Grey
stone, his country seat, three miles from
Yonkers, N. Y. Mr. Tlden was taken ill
on Sunday, and on Monday evening he
was seized with fit of vomiting, which
caused him much distress. On Tuesday
night he began to complain of severe pains
in his lons, and it was found that gas was
accumulating in his bowels. His bowels
became very much dis ended and pressed
so severely on the diaphragm that the &C
tion of the lungs and heart was seriously
interferred with. Resort was had to stim-
uants, but the patient became unconscious
about four e'c'ock next morning and grew
rapidly weaker until his heart ceased its
pulsations entirely. The intelligence of
Mr. Tilden's death was wholly unexpect
ed, although his intimate friends have
known for several months that he was
failing in strength very rapidly. He was
| completely paralyzed on his right side,
and his teft leg and arm were almost use
less. His power Of speech practically left
him more than five years ago, and recent
ly his voice. even in a whisper, has been
getting fainter and fainter.
| Mr.. Tilden was born at New Lebanon,
Columbia county, n. Y, on the oh OF
February, 1914, and was consequently in
the 73rd year of his age Mr.. Tiiden was
a statesmen of broad and comprehensive
views and in this respect he acquired a
national reputation. and he enjoyed the
confidence aad admiration of the people
of this country in degree that has never
been surpassed by any public man. The
people of his native State loved and re,
vered him, for by the force of his hon
est principles and the power and compre-
hensveness Of his mind and statesman
ship, he rid her of the degrading rule OF a
ring of corrupt politicians.
The death of Mr.. Tilden suggests the
fact that the Democratic party has lost no
less than four Of its former candidates for
the presidency within comparatively re-
cent period, viz, Mcclellan, Seymour
Tilden and Hancock, the candidates res.

In an interview in the New York World
recently ex-senator Thurman, of Ohio, said
he was out of politics, and that "there was
not steam engines enough in the country
to draw him into Office again" But while
he is out of politics, he takes as deep an
interest as he ever did in the success of
the Democratic party and the triumph of
its principles. Being asked the opinion
of the Ohio democracy regarding Presi-
dent Cleveland and bis administration Mr.
Thurman replied: my judgment is that
Mr.. Cleveland is growing s'roager with
his patty. At first there was some COM
plant, l believe, because Mr.. Cleveland
did not turn the republicans out quite fast
enough, but he appears to have improved
in that respect. or the Democrats have be-
come less impatient. for he has been gain
ing in strength and popularity. Ia juds-
ing Mr.. Cleveland's administration one
must take into consideration the difficult
ties that bcset him at the start. 1t was
not like one Republican succeeding. an
other or a continuation of the same poll
tlcal succession. The Democratic party
had been out of power for a long time,
and Democrats were naturally little i'm
patient at any delay. Mr.. Cleveland has
demonstrated one thing, think, to the
satisfaction of everybody, and that is that
he is an honest, courageous man, and in
tends to do as nearly right as he knows
how. There is no doubt of his sincerity
and his courage. People admire courage
and they appreciate honesty. Knowing
Mr.. Cleveland to possess both, they can
overlook minor defects" Mr.. Thurman
added that he could not see anything to
prevent Mr.. Cleveland's denomination and
reelection.

building at Annapolis, which eur repre-

The reason given by the President tor

the pub ic needs of Annapolis justified the
expenditure of so much money on public
