New YORK FRAUDS The Journal of Com
mercc, of New York, gives the following brief
history and comprehensive view OF the rise ana
progress Of the Tweed rings and corruptons
Which have recently come to their DOWNFALL
Those cOrruptlonS are not peculiar to Iammany.
They originated in fusion Republican and
Democratic City Government and the nachl
nery-thc city chartcr-which was used to con-
sumnate them was maturcd through Tweed 5
cunning and Republican deprayity
supervisor $ board of Democrats and Rcpub-
leans mixed, pledged fraternity made up Of
both parties, who could be depended on to vote
and hang together on all money questions One
after another he won them over to his interest,
and finally the seventh man yicldcd-a large
and profitable contract being his pay-and then
the ring was complete, aud the reck less plum
dering of New York commenced, Demo-
Gratis and Republicans being alike responsible
for it. The county court house was the first
great lob and so through the long list OF
shameless frauds that have been amply spread
before our readers from time to time. In them
is written the biography of the man tor the
past six or seven years and to the record
should be added the corruption that hourshed
in the last Legislature under Iweed'S almost
autocratic sway.
I'VE do not say that Tweed made the Leg
islaturc any worse than it was before he became
senator Its badness had for years been such
that even his presence could hardly affect it
niuriously. But such is the force of the man 5
character, such his talent for ring making, that
among ali the sharp and INSCRIPTIONS men at
Albany he naturally stood first, and became
the centre around which rings aud rings within
rings rcvolvcd 1t has been openly asserted
and not denied that Tweed spent million of
dollars on Republicans and Democrats to carry
through the new city charter. If this i! true.
it can only be said that the current price Of
Legislatures was much higher than it had ever
been since 1857, when the Republicans first
began to tampcr with the city government and
robbed us-not through rings, but, on small
lrr scale. through commissions"
