TILTON, Theodore, journalist, born in New York city, 2 October, 1835. He was graduated at the College of the city of New York in 18,55, was employed for a year on the New York "Observer," and then became an editor of the "Independent," continuing on the staff from 1856 till 1871, the latter part of the time as editor-in-chief. He edited also, about six months of the last year, the Brooklyn " Union." He then established the " Golden Age," an independent political and literary weekly, but retired from it at the end of two years. In 1874 he charged Henry Ward Beecher with criminal intimacy with his wife (see BEECHER), and the ease, tried by Plymouth church and the public courts, attracted wide attention. Mr. Triton has written many political and reformatory articles, which have been reprinted in pamphlets. He has gained much reputation as an orator, being a constant and eloquent speaker in behalf of woman's rights, and, before the civil war, in opposition to slavery. For twenty years he was a lyceum lecturer, speaking in nearly every northern state and territory. He went abroad in 1883, and has since remained there. Among his works are "',"he Sexton's Tale, and other Poems" (New York, 1867); "Sancta Sanctorum, or Proof-Sheets from an Editor's Table" (1869) ; "Tempest Tossed," a romance (1873; republished in 1883);" Thou and I," poems (1880) : and "Suabian Stories," ballads (1882).
