Show IT MUST be very gratifying to Mr. Tilden to know that he is the subject of more conversation than any other man, living or dead. On the other hand, he must realize that he is now, as a natural consequence, the object of the closest scrutiny and surveillance, and this is not so pleasant.

Press is on hand to chronicle the event and a million or more paragraphers are ready to moralize upon and predict as the consequence of such events.

He should say, as the negro minstrel said in response to an enthusiastic encore, "Go it, pitch in; the more noise you make the more salary I get." |
