governor. In 1876 he accepted the
democratic nomination for president.
He was an aspirant for the nomination
in 1880, but his name was presented
too late to turn the tide in his favor.
Since that time he has lived life of
seclusion, though he lost none of his
interest in public affairs and has always
been consulted by democratic leaders
in relation to the great public questions
of the time.
Mr.. Tilden has occupied a unique
place in national politics. A large
number of democrats still profess to
believe that he was in 1876 elected to
the chief magistracy of the nation, but
was deprived of the occupancy of that
Office by fraud. Without going into a
review of the disputed election, it may
be said that upon the honest returns of
the vote in those Southern states where
the results were contested the republi-
cans undoubtedly had an actual ma
iority. There was some question about
the constitutionality of deciding the
contest by an electoral commission, but
a majority of both political parties in
congress assented to that plan as the
best and safest way out of the difficulty.
The charge that Mr.. Tilden's friends
attempted apparently without his
knowledge to buy the presidency for
him with money seems well established.
1t was, however, creditable to him that
he would not encourage any violent OPP
position to the decision of the electoral
commission. AS to Mr.. Tilden's posi-
ton in the war of the rebellion, it is
asserted on the one hand that it was an
honorable one, but on the other hand
it is as strongly asserted that he was
hostile to the government. This much
is certain: In 1860 he wrote letter to
friend, which was published, in which
he reasserted the right of secession, be-
cause the trainers of the Constitution
left the state with the power to snap
the tie of confederation" Mr.. Tilden
has been awarded great credit for his
reform work Though he was not on
friendly terms with the Tweed dynasty,
yet he was at first reluctant to make
war upon it. But he made his cam
paign for governor as reform candi-
date, and performed effective service
in exposing and furnishing the crimes
of the corrupt ring. He was usually
sound on financial questions, though he
surrendered to the inflationists in 1876;
and the views he has urged upon the
attention of congress in regard to max
ing early provision for coast defences
have been highly commended by all
parties. He was man of remarkable
abilities and excelled in political man.
agement. 1t is not too much to say
that for many years his voice was more
potent in shaping the policy of the
democratic party than that of any other
one man.

Samuel j. Tilden.

The death of Samuel j. Tilden at his
residence in Greystone CYonkers), N.
Y, last Wednesday morning, removes
the most conspicuous leader in the demo-
cratic party. Although in impaired
health for many years past, his death
was unexpected to his friends and physi-
clans. The immediate cause was fail
ure of the action of the heart, following
an acute attack of diarrhea and nausea.
No unusual symptoms had been noticed
by his attendants the previous evening,
and he passed away as quietly as a
child falls asleep.
Samuel Jones Tilden was born in
New Lebanon, Columbia county, n. Y,
February 8, 1874; entered Yale College
in 1888, but completed his course at the
University of New York and was adj
mitted to the bar. He early took an
interest in politics and was one of the
founders of the Daily Ne,os, which had
great influence in the campaign of 1874.
His first appearance in public life was
as member of the New York assembly
in 1916. In the same year he was a
member of the constitutional conven-
ton. Up to this time Mr.. Tilden had
given more attention to politics than to
law, but in 1847 he began to devote
himself to his profession, and for sew
eral years after he held high reputa.
ton as a lawyer. In 1913 he bolted
the nomination of General Cass, the
democratic candidate for president, and
supported the free-soil ticket, headed
by Mr.. Van Buren,. From 1857 to 1866
Mr.. Tilden attended to his professional
duties, to the exclusion of politics. He
was also engaged in railroad enter
prises and the iron business and &C,
quired large fortune. He was lead
ing counsel in the notorious Burdell
Cunningham case, representing the in
terests of the Burdells, and displayed
wonderful skill in exposing the claims
of Mrs. Cunningham and in practically
fixing upon her the murder of DIR
Burdell. Mr.. Tilden took active in
terest in the prosecution of the fraud
in the government of New York city II
1901. In 1872 he was member o
the assembly, and in 1874 was electe'

Record of the Session.

The first session of the forty-ninth
congress was brought to a close Thurs
day afternoon. The closing scenes were
dull and uninteresting. The senate was
in session one hundred sixty-four days
and the house one hundred eighty-five.
1t is by no means the only congress that
has run its long session well into the
summer months. Probably the longest
session on record was that of the thirty
first congress, which spent several
weeks balloting for r. G. Winthrop of
Massachusetts, and Howell Cobb of
Georgia before the latter was elected
speaker, and did not adjourn until Sep
TENDER Both.
During the session just closed there
were introduced in the senate two thou
sand eight hundred ninety-one bills and
eighty-three joint resolutions, and in the
house ten thousand fourteen bills and
two hundred fourteen joint resolutions
The number that passed both houses
was one thousand one hundred one, of
which the President approved eight
hundred six, and one hundred eighty
one became laws without his signature.
He has vetoed one hundred thirteen
bills, mostly pension bills-four times
more than have been vetoed before
from the foundation of the govern
ment. Only one bill Ga pension billy
was passed over his veto. Not many
of the measures that became laws are
of national Importance. The house
has poor record; the senate one only
little better. 1t is a clog to legisla-
ton where the two houses are not in
the hands of one political party. 1t is
fortunate, however, that there was a
republican majority in the senate to
defeat the Objectionable measures sup
ported by the democratic majority in
the house. Among the general meas
ures of Importance, besides the appro-
priation bills, that have been enacted
into laws are the presidential sue
cession bill; the oleomargarine bill;
the Fitz John Porter bill; the bills to
provide for the study of the nature and
effects of alcoholic drinks; to remove
the charge of desertion against soldiers
who re-enlisted without having first
received discharge from the regi.
ments in which they previously served
to legalize the incorporation of ma
tional trades unions; to increase the
pensions of soldiers who lost leg OF
an arm; to increase the navy; to re.
duce the fee on money-orders fol
sums not exceeding So from eight tC
five cents; to enable national banking
associations to increase their capita
stock; to increase to S12 per month the
pensions of widows and dependen

THE Burlington Free Press has al
good deal to say in depreciation of the
newspaper war" on Mr.. Edmunds.
And yet the same Free Press, under
the same editorial management, did not i.
in AID. 1875, have an exalted opinion
of Mr.. Edmunds; it accused him of
bad faith in regard to the Burlington
post-oflice, to which the editor of the
Free Press wanted reappointment.
In the course of several articles it DEM
onstrated that Mr.. Edmunds was a
trickster. If the Free Press was right
then, it must be wrong in its present
estimate of the senator. Here is an
extract from an editorial in the Free
Press in April, 1876:
"Why, then, it may be asked, was Mr..
Benedict a candidate for a reappontment
which he was not to have-with the practi-
cal effect of preventing that majority from
putting in the field candidate who would
have been willing to do more to secure the
place? The answer was a very simple one.
1t was because Senator Edmunds, who abso-
lutely controls the appointment of post
master in his own town-as absolutely as he
does the selection of his own coachman-
gave to Mr.. Benedict his personal assurance
early expressed and repeated almost up to
the time of appointment, that he desired
Mr. Benedict to retain the office. Why Mr.
Edmunds did not do what he averred he
wanted to do we need not attempt to ex-
plain, further than to remark that the result
OF the matter furnishes one illustration of
the peculiar trait of unselfshness in the
senator's character which leads him to snub
his best friends and reward his bitterest
enemies

when essential, to prevent the spread of
pleuro-pneumonia.
Among the measures which were de-
feated, or upon which final action was
not reached, were the interstate COM
merce bill, the Mexican pension bill,
the Morrison tariff bill, the Randall
tariff bill, the Blair educational bill,
the Dakota admission bill, the bank.
ruptcy bill, the Beck railroad attorney
bill and the Edmunds office bill. The
senate resolution to abolish secret ex-
ecutive sessions was made the special
order for December 8. The New York
Sun objects to the remark, Congress
having adjourned, the people breathe
easier," as an unjust reflection upon
representative government. Neverthe-
less, il is true that the country feels a
strong sense of relief when congress
adjourns.

THE delegates to the republican con-
gressional convention which met in
Montpelier on Wednesday reflected the
will of their constituents and performed
the duty with which they were charged
by renominating by reclamation Gen.
eral William w. Grout. He may well
feel proud of the hearty support he has
received from the republicans of the
district, and it affords us pleasure to
bear testimony that the candidate is in
every respect worthy of the honor which
has been bestowed. General Grout has
been faithful, honest representative.
He acts promptly in behalf of his con-
stituents and effectively. We trust
that he will be reelected by one of the
old-time republican majorities.
