no doubt will give their support in

SAMUEL ]. TILDEN DEAD.
HE SLEEPS HIS LAST
LONG SLEEP.
Full of HOnOrs and of Years.
"A Quiet Ending Ofa
Well Spent Life.

Samuel J. Tilden, President elect
in 1876, died at his home at Grey
stone, n. Y, at S:45 a. M, August
1, 1886, in the 73 year of his age.
His record for honesty and high
regard for the welfare of State and
Nation come prominently into view
when we contemplate his acts
while Governor of New York.
At that time the famous ring of
political sharpers over whom
reigned VIM. Tweed, were ruling
the finances of the City of New
York, and filling their pockets at
the expense of the taxpayers.
Mr.. Tilden in his capacity of Gov
ernor waged IL relentless war
against Tweed and his gang until
the organization was utterly broken
up and it's leaders punished. He
also attacked the canal ring and
other dishonest organizations, and
by all means in his power endeav-
ored to purify the government of
the State of New York in its every
department and was in an eminent
degree successful.
Political friend and foe, with him,
were judged by the same law, and
made to answer for their misdeeds.
His excellent record as Governor,
made him the candidate of the
Democratic party for President in
1876.
That Mr.. Tilden was elected
President, and through Democratic
stupidity, indirectly, and Republi-
can rascality, directly, was defraud-
ed out of the Office, there is now no
question among the intelligent and
candid men of any party.
The long weeks of excitement
and days of dread which followed
that memorable election and pre-
ceded inauguration day were passed
by him in quiet, silent submission,
and nothing emenated from him to
stir the already agitated political
waters.
The treason of enemies, and the
blunders of friends could not change
his love of country to hate, nor dis
appointed hopes impair his will or
slant his intellect. He was silent
under wrongs, and like IL philo-
sophie statesman and patriot ac-
cepted fate without murmur. He
was called old and decrepid, but
vigorous men, as Garfield, Han
cock, Grant, Hendricks, Seymore
and Mcclellan preceded him to the
silent shore, while he remained a
beacon light to his country, and a
reproach to politicians who feared
him, as thoroughly as the masses
loved and revered him.
His party will miss his wise
counsel, and his country his faith
full advice.
The sage of Greystone is dead!
His country may well bow her
head in sorrow, for the grandest
patriot of whom her history shall
speak has gone from us forever.
His funeral will take place from
Greystone, to-day. The remains
will be buried at New Lebanon, n.
