dawned upon her, she added quickly, "oh,
I know where he IL. He's upstairs taking

And with the words she tripped up the

TILDEN AND FAMOUS LETTER
DIR. Miller Sent to Old Leader 20. Sc
cure Endorsement of Cleveland.

DIR. Miller sent to Old Leader to- Sc
cure T. Endorsement of Cleveland.
A most interesting bit Of political history
concerning the attitude of Samuel J. Til
den toward Grover Cleveland Is recalled by
the death of Mr.. Cleveland. Mr.. Tilden's
public endorsement of the young nominee
for the presidency was a matter very much
desired by the party leaders and which MIR.
Tilden was 10th to give. And 1t was DR..
George L. Miller Of Omaha who was finally
selected to bring about this endorsement.
Or. Miller was regarded as one Of the most
intimate friends of Tilden, and as to his
attitude toward Cleveland, it Is said that
perhaps no man knew Mr.. Tilden as vol
as did DIR. Miller.
Daniel Manning, Afterward secretary of
the treasury IN President Cleveland'a cab
met, was chairman of the national demo-
cratic committee. He and the other mem
bers Of the committee wanted Mr.. Tilden
to write a public letter backing Mr.. Cleve-
land.
1T was regarded as imperatively ncces-
sary to unite the Tilden forces in New
York and other states on Cleveland" re-
marked DIR. Miller, when asked about the
incident. "I am reluctant to speak of this
matter added the doctor, ''for fear Of
having It misunderstood. 1t would not be
right to say that Mr.. Tilden was opposed
to Mr.. Cleveland, but, you see, Mr.. TIL
den was an old man and Mr.. Cleveland a
young man and Mr.. Tilden regarded him as
rather inexperienced for a presidential
nominee.
well, 1 was going to New York and ex-
pecteu while there to see the publication
Of this letter which was expected, though
not then promised. 1t did not appear. Mr..
Manning asked me to go to see Mr.. Tilden
on the matter. l did, of course. Mr. Tilden
finally wrote the letter, but after ali 1t was
a perfunctory letter; It did not say much
II might have said. But I suppose 1t had
a good effect. The result Of the election
might indicate as much.
Mr.. Tilden, of course, came to realize
his apprehensions Of Mr.. Cleveland's youth
full ineXperience were not we'll founded
and l think 1t not too much to say that he
was as heartily glad of It as anybody.
He accorded the new president his support
when he found his judgment not correct"

SISTER OF Mr.. CLEVELAND
Mrs. Mary Hoyt is Shocked by News
Of Brothers Death.
GETS WIRE FROM MRS. CLEVELAND
Recalls His Boyhood Days and says
lie Was n Good SON and brother
and Never Gave Parents
Trouble.

Only the bare announcement Of the death
OF her distinguished brother telegraphed
by Mrs. Cleveland, reached Mrs. Mary
Cleveland Hoyt Of go Park avenue, Omaha,
Wednesday morning. Her telegram came
later than the press announcements. but
Mrs. Hoyt had not heard Of ex-President
Cleveland's death until she received the
telegram.
Overcome by the news, which came as a
shock, Mrs. Hoyt was scarcely able to dis
cuss her brothers life and she had not de-
cided whether IL would be possible for her
to 20 east to the funeral and to join other
members Of the family.
only last week / had a letter from Mrs.
Cleveland telling me that Grover was i'm
proving said Mrs. Hoyt. "Of course this
did not entirely remove my fears, because
I knew that he had been suffering for a
long time with a dangerous trouble of the
heart and kidneys. But when l received
Mrs. Cleveland's letter I felt that there
was no immediate danger of my brother
cying and consequently the news this morn
ing of his death came unexpectedly.
II can't remember anything now fall
tered Mrs. Hoyt in her struggle TO keep up
under the strain. HE was a dear brother
and was always much loved by his sisters.

always an even-tempered and good brother,
and never worried us nor his father and
mother. He worked hard, as he was left
without a father when 16 years of age.
He visited me when out west to attend
the unveiling Of the Morton monument and
has always written me letters, even when
he was very busy as president of his coun-
try. Since his children have grown up they
have written to me and Mrs. Cleveland has
written almost every week. ! believe my
brother wrote 10 all the members of the
family as often as he could and he wrote
good letters, too, never complaining of ad-
versity nor mentioning his Illness"
Mrs. Hoyt Is the mother Of r. C. Hoyt
OF Oman and has made her home in this
city for a number of years. She is appar-
entity a strong woman and after consult
ing other members Of the family and COM
municating with her sisters in the east may
go TO the funeral. leaving Omaha Thursday.
r. Cleveland Hoyt, clerk of the United
States district court for Nebraska is Mrs.
Mary Hoyt's son. Mrs. Hoyt had completed
arrangements for a trip TO Spokane, Wash,
to visit another son., Charles G. Hoyt. in
the Indian service near Yakima, intending
to leave for Spokane this afternoon. The
death OF her brother, ex-President Grover
Cleveland has caused her to abandon the
trip to Spokane.

began to tell about the last time they had
met.
Mr.. Rosewater was appointed mint com
missioner by President Cleveland in 1895,
the last year of his last administration
After exchanging a few words Mr.. Rose
water. acting for the press photographers,
lined up outside, asked Mr.. Cleveland II he
wouldn't pose for some pictures.
Now, Rosewater, you have known me
long enough to know that I'm no poser
replied the distinguished man, laughingly.
But for you and your tribe Of picture
takers I'll just pose"
And he wAlke out under the wide We
randa and with David r. Francis, Adlai f..
Stevenson, Hilary A. Herbert he stood for
q shot or two, remarking az he assumed the
correct attitude for the photographers,
"well. boys, l guess we are now up against
the gun"
Mrs. Cleveland had s~raeiously allowed the
photographers to snap her In several posi-
tons, one standing beside Paul Morton, and
when she and the ex-president started to
get into their carriage one OF the photog-
raphers stationed his camera for another
shot.
Now, now" warningly said the beautiful
woman, raising her hand a bit.
Cant we have just this one?" pleaded
one OF the photographers most yearningly,
his hat in his hapd.
Not another one, you hav had enough"
said Mrs. Cleveland.
