Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Tammany Hall If my narrative furnishes a sad story for the leaders and chieftains of the Tammany Society and the Tam many Hall political organization, the fault is not mine, but that of a multitude of incontestible public records. It was in no partisan spirit that I began the work, and in none that I now conclude it. I have always been an independent in politics; and I have even voted, when there seemed to me ample reason for doing so, a Tammany ticket. I have tried to set down nothing in malice, nor with such exceptions as are obviously neces sary with regard to living men, to extenuate anything whatever. Those who may be tempted to consider my work partial and partisan, on account of the showing that it makes of Tammany corruption and inefficiency, will do well to read carefully the pages relating to the Whigs and to some other opponents of Tammany Hall.

CHAPTER XXXII THE SWAY OF BKIBEBY AND "HONEST GEAFT" 1903-1905 GRAFT of all kinds was rampant, as later official investigation showed, in Tammany-controlled departments, but in the public mind the question of this form of graft was vastly overshadowed by the revelations of the New York legislative committee investigating the great life insurance companies. The disclosures showed that Republican legislators as well as Democratic were bought; that enormous corruption funds had been contributed to both political parties, and that one political machine was no better than the other. Bribery expenditures, the committee reported, were classified on the various insurance companies' books as "legal expenses." The committee described the amounts as extraordinarily large. In the year 1904 alone, the Mutual Life Insurance Company thus disbursed $364, 54.95; the Equitable Life Assurance Society, $172,698.42, and the New York Life Insurance Company, $204,019.25.1 Andrew C. Fields, long engaged by the Mutual Life Insurance Company to manipulate legislation at Albany, lived there in a sumptuously furnished house jocosely styled the "House of Mirth." The expenditures were charged to " legal expenses." The Mutual thus expended more than $2,000,000 in "legal expenses" from 1898 to i Report of the Nev> York Legislative Jnsurance Committee, 1906, Vol. X, p. 16. 1904.2 And from 1895 to 1904, the total payments made by the New York Life Insurance Company to Andrew Hamilton, its chief lobbyist at Albany, amounted to $1,312,197.16, all of which sum was soberly entered as " legal expenses." s A present of nearly $50,000 was contributed in 1894 by the New York Life Insurance Company to the campaign fund of the Republican National Committee, and similar...

Excerpt: ...Peace Resolutions," which were introduced into the Assembly before the inauguration of President Lincoln, and which had the approval of Thurlow Weed, but which were sternly criticised by the ultra party leaders. In 1861 Mr. Robinson was a member of the Union convention, which met at Syracuse, composed of both Democrats and Republicans--more anxious to preserve the Union than their party lines. At the close of the war Mr. Robinson felt that the work of the Republican party was done, and his original affiliation with the Democracy brought him back into their ranks. In 1871 Governor Hoffman had appointed him a member of the State Constitutional Commission. In that convention he advocated the same principles on which he had acted when Controller. He had been the Democratic nominee for Congress in 1870, but, though defeated, he greatly reduced the former Republican majority. In 1872 he supported the Liberals. In 1875 he was again nominated by the Democrats for State Controller, which he won by a handsome plurality. Few men could have made the political changes which Mr. Robinson did and, at the same time, retain to so large an extent the respect of men of all parties. Tammany has always been noted for the care with which it looked after special classes of voters, not permitting any large body of citizens to pine uselessly for its paternal sympathy. Thus when the upper wards known as the Annexed Districts were added to the metropolis, as the Twenty-third and Twentyfourth Wards, they were at first entrusted to the oversight of Colonel E. T. Wood, but the party did not prosper greatly, and some dissatisfaction was felt. Early in the "eighties " the vote in Wood's district began to grow steadily less, while that of the County...

This book was released on 2014-03-03 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Golway’s revisionist take is a useful reminder of the unmatched ingenuity of American politics.”—Wall Street Journal History casts Tammany Hall as shorthand for the worst of urban politics: graft and patronage personified by notoriously crooked characters. In his groundbreaking work Machine Made, journalist and historian Terry Golway dismantles these stereotypes, focusing on the many benefits of machine politics for marginalized immigrants. As thousands sought refuge from Ireland’s potato famine, the very question of who would be included under the protection of American democracy was at stake. Tammany’s transactional politics were at the heart of crucial social reforms—such as child labor laws, workers’ compensation, and minimum wages— and Golway demonstrates that American political history cannot be understood without Tammany’s profound contribution. Culminating in FDR’s New Deal, Machine Made reveals how Tammany Hall “changed the role of government—for the better to millions of disenfranchised recent American arrivals” (New York Observer).
