TAmMANY's STRIPED HISTORY

The recent substantial defeat OF
Tammany in New York calls attention

days after Washington was first in

tiers. Baron Burr, according to re-
cent review Of the society's history
was its first real leader, the forerun,
ner of Tweed, Kelly, Croker and
Murphy.
From it's first advent IN politics
Tammay was on the make. Some Of
its original sachems were prosecuted
for graft. 1t was also an early and
persistent offender against the election
laws. In the early days of the he
public, when there was property
qualification for voting, Tammany car,
ried the town by having young men
in the society buy houses in groups Of
thirty-fiye to fifty owners to each
house, thus swelling its voting
strength.
In 1927 and 1882, after the property
qualification had been removed, Tam
many showed itself an adept in the
art of voting the arriving immigrants
few of whom had acquired a lega
residence. The Tammany history
charges that the city was carried fol
jackson by repeaters organized BY
Tammany.

and waxed fat It's worst was reach
