Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life Sketches of Government Officers and Members of the Legislature of the State of New York for 1875 The young Democrats in the rear of the hall, comprising, perhaps, one fourth of the assembly, shouted for tilden, who found himself compelled to speak. After an able argument upon the question in controversy, he passed to the personal aspects of the Senator's speech he alluded to the Senator's statement that the Democrats had changed position, while he himself had remained consistent. Then turning to the Whigs, he asked if they found them selves now in unison with the Senator who had been opposed to them in the contest he had narrated? He earnestly appealed to them to know if they, and not the Senator, had changed. He then addressed the chairman of the meeting, a venerable citizen of near eighty, and pressed him in a tone of mingled compliment and expostulation, until in the excite ment of the occasion he declared audibly that be had not changed. Of this declaration Mr. Tilden availed himself to the utmost and applied it to the Senator in a strain of masterly sarcasm and irony. It is enough to say that this scene was electric. It thrilled the assembly. The youth of twenty-four had given the Senator a Roland for his Oliver. The effect of this speech was so powerful that when young tilden was requested to address another meeting to be held a few miles distant, the young Whigs declared, it is said, that if he did they would whip him. Elam tilden wrote an account of this meeting to silas wright, who responded in a letter highly appreciative of the talent and pluck of young samuel J. Tilden.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life Sketches of Government Officers and Members of the Legislature of the State of New York: For 1874 The publication of "Life Sketches" began in 1858, and has been continued, with an occasional hiatus, ever since. Each volume contains a condensed biographical sketch of the Governor, Lieutenant-Governor, State Officers and Members of both branches of the Legislature, and thus fills its niche and has its value in the not unimportant department of works of reference. The present editors prepared the annual for '73 and '74, and met with such encouragement and success as induced them to continue the series. The editor of Life Sketches for 1858 expressed the aim and limitation of all the volumes when he wrote, in his preface: "Beyond its usefulness as a work of reference, it is, comparatively, of but little interest to the public. The private details embodied in the sketches are designed only to give it interest as a volume for private circulation among the friends of those whose lives constitute its pages." As regards the merits of the present volume, the editors have only to say that they have taken great pains to avoid errors, either of fact or date, and to render tho sketches as complete as possible within the limits prescribed. It will be noticed that, the sketches being arranged alphabetically, the necessity of an index is removed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life Sketches of Executive Officers and Members of the Legislature of the State of New York: For 1873 The publication of Life Sketches has been suspended since 1870, and the present resumption is owing to the encouragement the editors have received from those whom the project concerns. The sketches have been prepared in the intervals of engrossing reportorial labors, and have all been written Since the commencement of the present session of the Legislature. Great care has been taken, however, to avoid errors either of fact or date, and also to render the information given as complete as possible within the limits prescribed by taste, propriety and the scope of the work. It will be seen that the sketches of the Members of the Legislature are alphabetically arranged, thus removing the necessity for an index.
