For some time after | had finished
my ieCita. Mr. Tilden piled me with
many questions. seeking particularly
to know OF the personnel Of the con-

for long time looked very thought
fully into the fire At last he put
his lips close to my ear.

me the hidden purpose that is in Sen

who had retired from the presidency
in Marcn, was then on his triumphal
tour of the world, and until Mr.. Tilden
mentioned lis name there had been
nothing said about him. But when,
months later, it first became evident
to the players in presidential politics
that Senator Conkling and his follow

third term nomination for Grant.

Samuel J. Tilden's Prophecy of the
intention of Conkling and the
StaIWarts to Nominate Grant
for Third Term.

| know that many persons who knew
Samuel ]. Tilden we'll were accus-
toned to look upon him as one of the
most sagacious and cold blOoded poll
ticians that the country ever had pro-
ducd But because of confidence
that he reposed in me shortly after his
return from Europe in the early au-
tumn of 1877, l have always looked
upon Mr.. Tilden as a great politician
who followed in great measure the
lead of his intuitions.
Immediately after the electoral COM
mission had decided in favor of Ruth
erford B. Hayes for president, Mr.,
Tilden set sail for Europe, where he
spent the summer. On the afternoon
of his return home / called upon him,
bearing an important message from
Mr.. Charles A. Dana, editor OF the
New York Sun and an intimate friend.
After ne had given me a very cour-
teous but dignified greeting, the gov
ernor asked a servant to draw two
chairs in front of the open fireplace,
in which a camel coal fire was burn
ing, for the day was little chilly.
Seating himself, Mr.. Tilden removed
his slippers and stretched out his
feet toward the fire. | noticed that
he wore old-fashioned, home-knitted
wooden stockings made of gray yarn.
He drew my chair close to his. and
then, in almost whispered tones. and
putting his lips close to my ear-al-
though / saw no one within hearing
began TO question me after having &C
knowledged the message which
brought from Mr.. Dana.
Il have been away since early April
nearly siv months" he said. Il

dental way what events of interest
have happened in the country since
that time You have been here, and
YOU can inform me on some things. Is
there anything of interest at Washing

EVERYBODY SURE OF ELECTION

All the candidates are sure fortune

the voters know one-half of them are
mistaken. 1t is not easy to predict
which ones. There is disaffection in
the democratic party and in the repub-
fican party. and between the change Of
votes and the errors liable to be made
in marking the ticket, no man can pre-
dict what will happen, although the
republicans have faith that Goodwin is
to win.

Appearances indicate that there will
be at least one landslide in Connecti-
cut tomorrow landslide which will
give the socialists an increase of 100
per cent over any previous election

There are no other landslides in sight,
and veteran observers are confident
that most of the socialist gain will be
in consequence of democratic loss

THE AN ERftAN WORKMAN'S Ex
TRAVAGANCE.

The Democratic candidate for gov
er1lor has fixed opinions as to what
the American workman should do. Fol-
lowing is a quotation from a lecture
of Judge Baldwin's delivered at Hart
ford, March s. 1902, as reported by the
press of that city:
"A single man earning $3.50 day
should lay by quarter a. day and
should not get married until he had
800 saved up There was a general
tendency to spend more money than
necessary: all were spending too much
money. If you go down Main street
you viii frd many merchants spend
ing much more money than they can
afford; there are q great many such
in New Haven. Lace curtains are too
frequent in wo -kingmen's houses. l
have travelled abroad considerably and
saw no other country where they spent
so much on the table or ate so much
as in the United states. Nobody

meals day. There is intemperance
in eating as well as in drinking. The
American workinsman eats twice as
much meat as the average European.
The English. French. German and Ital-
ian people DO not eat nearly as much
meat as the American, who should eat
more fruit"
