FRUITLESS cAUCUsEs.
Republican and Democratic Aldermen Alike
Fail to Reach Definite Conclusions.

The five Republican alderman Of the new
board faithfully waited last night from half past
o'clock until 10 to hear from their five Demo
cusing in Alderman elect Schmidts Office. Isaac
King, 40 the oldest member of the board on his
side, has been all week arranging to have the
coming organization in face of the tie vote placed
on plan satisfactory to both parties King is
pr respective candidate for sheriff, hence he
wants to assume burden in this exigency as
light as possible. 1.-THE Democrats can't do
anything without our assistance, nor can we
without help from them," Republican
alderman remarked last night: "There must be
some understanding between as, or we will go it
blndly in trying to organize next Friday night. I"
This position, it seems, was accepted by the
Democrats, who, after repeated conferences
among themselves and with the Republican
members, consented to division of the Offices
something like this: The Republicans to have the
presidency of the board and one-half Of the COM
mittee chairmanships, while the Democrats took
the other half and the vice presidency.
Last night the arrangement was to be formal
~ agreed upon, after the Democrats had decided
on the committees they would prefer, their can
didate for the vice-presidency, and their prefer
enc0 as 20 VINO should De president or the BOARD.
AS to the last-named detail. one Of the Repub
leans and perhaps more, thinks the request just,
as Democratic vote or two must elect him.
Messrs. Pritchard and Prier are warm contestants
for the presidents position, and 1t seems the Re-
publcans outside of the board who do not favor
Pritchard and those who do not want Prier to
be selected have alike brought persuasions to
bear upon the Democratic aldermen.
THE present conditions Of the contest" said
Republican, suggest strongly the necessity OF
choosing somebody else. As to that man we
would like to have an expression
from the Democrats. It is possible
they can't agree either on Pritchard and Prier.
Had there been harmony in our own party on
this question, an organization could be effected
without trouble" He spoke thus, partly in ex-
PLANTATION of the supposed long consultation the
Democrats were having. The hour became late
and the Eve Republican aldermen left for their
respective homes, ignorant of what the others
had done or intended to do.
About the same hour in the evening. half past
o'clock. Aldermen-elect Schmidt and King be-
gan their waiting at the formers Office. Within
an hour the third alderman came in, and the
three talked and talked until 10 o'clock without
the presence or assistance of their confreres.
They. too became tired and separated. In the
arrangement Of division mentioned above, it is
understood that the Democrats want no impor-
tant chairmanships particularly those OF the
finance and judiciary committees 1t is time
when they ask for little responsibility.

Samuel j. Tilden Dead.

News reached this city, over the wires,
this forenoon of the death Of Samuel
Jones Tilden, at his home on the Hud-
son, GreystoDe, at $50 a. m. As no
previous intimation of MIR. Tilden's ILL.,
ness had been given through the dis
patches, the tidings Of his death came
most Unexpectedly. His health has
been reported better than usual this
summer, and his friends were even
speaking Of him as possible presiden-
tial candidate but q few days since. Mr..
Tilden was born February 9, 1914, gradu-
ated at the university Of New York, was
early admitted to the bar, and has been
in political life for nearly half century.
At 80 years of age he was in the New
FORK assembly. The same year he took
prominent part In the state oonstitu-
tional convention, and in that body did
much towards shaping the policy OF the
state on internal waterways. In 1874 he
was elected governor Of New York by
an overwhelming majority, and two
years later ran a neck-and-neck race
with Rutherford b. Hays for the presi-
dency Of the nation. No faint Of cor
ruption attaches to Mr.. Tilden's name.
and in his public life and private char
acter he has always been regarded as a
man Of honesty and inoorruptibility. His
counsels are greatly needed by his party
at this particular juncture, and In his
death the democracy Of New York and
nation have suffered an irreparable loss.
