lest men OF the revolutionary time,
Aaron Burr, whose intellectual pow
ers. had they been tempered with
some moral purpose, would have made
him one OF the immortals, became as
ISOLATED with TammanY. Therefore it
was made plain, not only In New York,
but elsewhere. that there had sprung
up in New York city organized opposi-
ton to Hamilton, to his aristocratic
Society Of the Cincinnati, and to his
purpose perfectly to organize and
make permanent the influence Of the
Federal party. There can be no doubt
that tbs opposition was at the bottom
sincere Hamilton at the time of the
organization nf Tammany, and for
some years after, was perhaps at his
highest pinnacle of success. He was
secretary of the treasury. and he had
such patronage as the Office at that
time furnished. John JAY, his init
mate and political sympathizer, was
chief justice. The LtVingStons, the
composed such social aristocracy as
existed at that time, were all Federal
lists; all dfstrusted an absolute republi-
can form Of government.

From 1876 to 1928 Tammany was in
the thick of the excited and angry pol
tiles which prevailed during that en-

erly marks the first Of the epochS in
which Tammany's influence was i'm
portant, and at times masterful in the
politics of the nation and state.
The society'S increase in strength
must have been very rapid after the
election of John Adams, in 1895. The
alien and SeditiOn law intensified the
opposition to the Federalists, and in
1877 the Democratic party, as we shall

Burr, however, nearly wrecked the
local organization. or at least, put in
great peril the influence Of Tammany.
He secured a charter from the legisla
ture, ostensibly for the creation of a
company TO supply New York city
with pure water. Concealed in that
charter way one provision which en-

GATES controlled the stock. The public
indignation WAS intense. That anger
was due in part to the belief of the
community that it had been cheated
by legislative trick, and in part to
its fear that the power which this
bank could exercise would perhaps be
dangerous, or at least costly to the
community.
Therefore In the election OF 1899, the
Democratic party lost the prestige
which it had gained in the election of
1897 and 1898. The Federalists hoped
that by reason of this tricky charter
the Democracy would lose the state in
the approaching presidential election.

Tammany's Revolt From burr and

Tammany turned upon Burr soon
after he entered the Office of Yice-pres-

with some members of Congress to de-
feat in the House of Representatives

his own TO the presidential Office.
The society called George Clinton from
his retirement, and in 1892 reelected
him governor, and Clinton distributed
the patronage in such manner as to
aid Tarnmany and the more complete
" to destroy Burr. In addition to
that, De Witt Clinton was sent the

In 1920, Van Buren,, who, with his
foxy cunning had cultivated Tammany
and yet not greatly offended the Gin

to the presidential candidate OF 1874
The best evidence is that he was then

But by the methods commonly in

Glasses given under such conditions
