ming very high over tho heated issues raised by
the Jackson administration and Mr.. Tilden, who
already displayed considerable ability and was
n born Democrat, had taken an interest I'm polit-
ical affairs, his writings receiving much public
attention. Being of a somewhat studious nature
he adopted the legal profession, and entered the
law office of Mr. John w. Edmunds of New
York CITY, although continuing TO take an active
interest in political affairs. His first appear

Opinions of Public Men on the Probable
Effect of Mr.. Tilden's Death.

Senator Kenna-I don't think Mr.. Tilden's
death will cause any sort Of disturbance in poll
tics. He had retired from the political arena so
far rs it rested with him to do. Naturally his
advice was sought.
Senator Beck-He was big man. but his
death will not cause any trouble in the party.
No man in the party is essential to this world.
Samuel j. Randall-It is sad news. All our
old chieftains are dripping of. Tis a great
loss
Fitz-John Porter-The loss will fall very
heavily on the Democracy. Mr.. Tilden was re-
garded as u mentor by many OF the leaders Of
the party, and they will now be at great loss
where TO go for advice. / doubt II they can
over replace him.
Senator Murphy, of New York-It seems to
me that the Democratic party is rapidly going
to pieces. All OF its shining lights are being
taken away by the hand Of death. Mr. Tilden
was man whom the Democratic party can
never replace.
Senator Plunkett, OF Now York-Samuel J.
Tildens loss will be felt for many day after
he is laid to rest, and there will never be found
man to take up the party's cause where he
laid IL down.
Judge J. l.. Chapman, of Detroit-Mr Til
den's death entails n great loss on the country.
He was sage-an adviser, not OF his party only
but of the nation.

tom.
Ignorance and intemperance are the chic
causes which prevent us from improving.
Intemparance is the great vice of the paint
