BIRTH OF TAMMANY
ORGANIZATION AN oFFsHooT OF
SONS OF LIBERTY.
Great Society Really Founded BY VIII
liam Mooney and Had Its Ineep-
sso= - Hatred of the
Tories.

Tamnany was founded by William
Mooney. an Irishman by descent, an
American by birth an upholsterer by
trade. and. according 10 Success, an
organizer and doubtless. an agitator
BY instinct
Mooney and most of the men asso-
ciated in the founding of Tammany
had been members of the Sons Of Lib
e-1y. With the close Of the revolution
his society was disbanded. it being
assumed that its work was done.
The suspicious OF the proletsriat
we're aroused when Alexander Ha1l'l-
ton threw his powerful influence and
protection over the hated Tories.
They found themselves powerless to
prevent 10 Office men known TO have
been Royalists.
They had no votes with which to
prevent this. and the proud patricians
smiled scornfully as they paused at
he doors Of coffee houses and tay-
ems and listened to the denunciaticn
Of these landless and therefore dis
franehised patriots.

quented by our ancestral New York
proletariat was Barden's. or the City
Tavern. This was located On Broad
way. not far from Bowling Green, and
within a stones throw Of the present
Standard Oil building.
The tavern was the forum of popu-
lar debate in those days, and if we
were permitted to examine the orig
inal drafts of many famous and pa
tTiotic documents We would likely find
them stained with ale and Jamaica
rum II was a day when the preacher
drank his today from the pulpit and
in which neither temperance nor
abstinence was esteemed as virtues.
William Maclay and Robert Morris
were the first senators from Pennsyl
vania and both attended the initial
session of congress in New York city
Senator Maclay kept a journal of its
proceedings. and his comments and
deductions are the delight of close
students of history. Under date of
May y, 1890, we find this entry:
This day exhibited grotesque
scene in the streets of New York. Be-
ing the old first of May, the Sons OF
St Tammany had a grand street
parade through the town in Indian
dress. ! delivered a talk at one of
their meeting houses and went away
20 dinner.
There seems to be some sort OF
scheme laid Of erecting some sort OF
order or society under this denomina,
ton, but II does not seem well di
gested as yet. The expense of the
dresses must have been considerable
and the money laid out on clothing
might have dressed some of their rag
ged beggars. But the weather is now
warm"
This rugged and fearless old hater
of royalty and aristocracy had partici
pated in the celebration of the first
anniversary of the founding of the
Society of Tammany.

SHARP CRY OF mo-
CAME FROM CROWD
When Mr. Bryan Referred to kea-
taCky.

At Richmond. Va. March p.
William J. Bryan. speaking under
The auspices of the General As
semb,y of Virginia. addressed an
audience Of some 5000 people ID
the city auditorium al night. The
members OF the Legislature. State
and city officials and party leaders
from all parts of the State were
/ seated on the rostrUm and immed-
lately around It. Lieut.. Gov J.
Taylor EllysOn presided and GOV.
Swanson introduced Mr.. Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan's theme was Dam
ocracy Applied On the question
OF law-nlaking he said:
There Is difference between
the individual who acts for himself
and the individual who acts for
others. The first application OF
democracy concerns the duty of
the representative. The individual
can think as he pleases and act as
he pleases. The representative
thinks for others and acts for
others. not for himself. We have
the secret ballot at the polls because
F it is nObody's business. We have
the public ballot in the Legislature
because it is everybody's business
how the representative votes.
There is such a thing a. en-
bezzlement Of power" said Mr..
Bryan. and | believe the time will
come when a man who turns a pub
lie Office to a private advantage
will be whipped from society along
with the embezzler of money. just
look at Kentucky. They elected a
Republican Senator there by the
aid Of four Democratic votes"
At this point there came assharp
cry Of NO" from the audience.
Mr.. Bryan looked in its direction.
well. I'll not debate the ques-
ton with you" he shouted. " They
were Democrats when they were
elected: or. to be more exact. the
people thought they were Demo
Gratis when they were elected.
| These four men were either elected
after the decision at the primary
or elected committed to the party.
No one would have been elected to
office if he had announced in adj
vance that he would vote for a Re-
publican. Not one would have
voted for Republican if his con-
stituents had suspected it. As in
dividuals they might have done so:
"a representatives they occupied
position Of trust and had no right
to substitute their judgment for
the judgment of those who elected
them. There was no excuse for
such betrayal of public trust. a
representative has no right to sub
stitute his judgment for that of the
people. whose voice should be su-
preme.

During our entire trip across the
Pacific we were never of an almost
even keel. It was so different from
my first ocean trip, which was across
the Atlantic. FL never forget that. I
hadn't been feeling well, and was told
that the sea voyage would make an
other man of me. Imagine making
another man Of me, when there was
hardly enough material for one!
Well, the minute the ship left the
dock I felt better. I threw out my
chest-and a lot of other things I
didn't need-and prepared to enjoy
life.
BY the time we got to Sandy Hook
the ship was having st. Vitus dance.
and most of the passengers decided
to go below to unpack. I started to
find my stateroom, and think but
ted into every one there was. I was
finally hurled into one just as the &C.
cupant, lady, was climbing into the
upper berth. She said, "Sir!" Then
the ship went the other way, and l
was never so completely sat on by a
lady in my life!
At last I found my own stateroom,
which was a locker with a couple of
shelves in it.
The ship now seemed to stand on
her nose and wag her tail in the air;
I deliberated whether I shot Id close
the port hole and go to my berth, or
close my berth and go to the port
hole. On the fourth day began to
take notice of things, and crawled out
on deck just as the ship was doing a
buck and wing. I was shot from one
end of the ship to the other, finishing
with a head-on collision with fat
mans stomach. He was mad because
