Mr.. Lewis. who Is York county

He was merely one Of the assistant

rejoicing upon all the years of his sue

And il would have come to him on
the day that the cable carried the news
that his son William Il. Tilden. Jr.,

The elder Tilden was devoted to his
boys. When the present champion was

was interesting himself quietly but
efficiently in independent Republican
politics in the later 00s, any refer
ence to anybody else's children brought
invariably from him a modest burst Of
praise for his own sons.
In the Wanamaker fights against the.

whom were Rudolph Blankenburg, Ma

Thomas Dolan, who waged a war Of
