[edit]"In the vituperative pamphlet war of the contested election, the phlegmatic Tilden was preposterously called "a liar, a traitor, a hypocrite, a briber, a conspirator, a thief, a counterfeiter, a defrauder, a perjurer, a robber, a swindler, a railroad wrecker," a drunkard, a syphilitic, a criminal, and a disgrace— but not a sodomite. Still he confided to a friend that he had never slept with a woman in his life." This seems to have come mostly from http://www.historyhouse.com/uts/tilden_hayes/ . If there is something to be asserted about Tilden's sexuality, shouldn't it just be asserted? What's the point of saying what he was not accused of? And then that "still" suggest never having slept with a woman somehow implies being a "sodomite"? 18:47, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Sorry, that comment was from me, and it was a lot more peevish than it should have been. I'm editing the article. PRiis 20:04, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Tilden went to NYU Law, not Yale. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.165.2.79 (talk) 05:01, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
So, was he gay or just asexual? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.164.224.208 (talk) 22:02, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
His former residence at Greystone is now Untermeyer Park (or atleast part of it) in Yonkers. The park is named after a later owner. On one of the gates in the park he's listed as an owner. Withe respect to his sexuality, maybe he religious. Was he a devout Christian? Perhaps he chose to remain celibate.69.119.207.171 (talk) 08:58, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
Tilden Lane (etc.) in Maryland
[edit]Wondering whether Tilden Lane, and (perhaps by extension) Tilden Middle School and Tilden Woods Park were named after Samuel J. Tilden. The road is not named in 1865, but surely is by 1934. I'd appreciate any feedback. Marty Mangold (talk) 19:58, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
Following up - Montgomery History's specialist looked into the origin of the name Tilden and came up empty. Marty Mangold (talk) 21:57, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
