   Also found in: Legal, Encyclopedia 0.01 sec.

Tilden, Samuel Jones (1814–1886)

US politician. A Democrat, he was governor of New York 1874–76, elected on a reform ticket. He received the Democratic presidential nomination 1876, and although he received a plurality of popular votes, the 1877 electoral college awarded the majority of electoral votes to Rutherford B Hayes.

Born in New Lebanon, New York, Tilden was educated at Yale and New York universities, and became a barrister 1841.

As chair of the New York State Democratic committee 1866–74, he campaigned against the Tammany Hall Organization and its leader, William ‘Boss’ Tweed.
