CHICAGO, Aug, 6-The death of Hon
Samuel J. Tilden was surprise to the PEG.
pie of this city. but the general sentiment
was of sorrow at the loss of the great lea lcr
OF the Democracy
While l greatly admire Tll.lon," said
Mayor Harrison, Il do not think that his
death will affect affairs of the nation nor
even PARTY affairs so far as they are con.
nected with what is generally termed a
political campaign. Mr. Tilden has been
identified with tine Democratic party during
n long life, it is true but then think he
never shaped its poiitics-or political q, ton,
rather--except in New York
Melville W. Fuller and w. c. Goudv ex,
pressed similar views. The weight of opin
ion was that Mr. Tilden's death would not
affect the prospects or policy of the De mo.
cratic party.
