To the author of the sub-pages. Please create an account for yourself so we can talk to you properly.

See User talk:160.39.129.27. The main problem with your sub-pages is the titles. For example consider 4 Later Years in isolation in the context of all Wikipedia articles - it is totally meaningless. I have moved two of the subpages to better (imho) titles. I suggest you move the others. -- RHaworth 05:04, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Leader needs work

The leader (paragraphs before the first section) needs work I think. I moved (and augmented) the material on Stewart's proposed appointment as U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, but, except for the first paragraph, much of what remains reads more like a parallel biography rather than an overview and would be better integrated into the main biography which actually seems to lack some of the details.

Tweed Ring

Is there a citation/reference for Henry Hilton (Stewart's lawyer & close friend) being associated with the Tweed ring? I believe Hilton fought Tweed. DEddy (talk) 02:25, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Judge Henry Hilton (1824 -1899) needs a Wikipedia article: Hilton, who managed to dissipate in two decades one of America's top ten fortunes of all time, enjoyed the position of President of the Department of Parks, 1870-72, under the "Tweed Charter". This was a political appointment. Hilton was an outstanding figure in anti-Semitism too. --Wetman (talk) 07:00, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

1872 Logo?

Since his executor, Judge Hilton, was instructed to destroy many (all?) of the store records, there is remarkably little direct documentary evidence remaining from the store. How/where did you find that wonderful logo? DEddy (talk) 15:50, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
