WILLIAM M. TWEED.
A hKL'I'CI! OF 'TIIID I)ID.D BOSS OlF
T.In.ILVF.
An Appropriate Sequel to a Career of
Crime--Serving tho World in Poverty,
Prison and Disgraco--A Solomn
Warning.
The death of Win. M. Tweed in
prison on the 221 instant furnishod
a text for many religious discourses
on the following day. His re,
iiia kable career and its fitting con
elusion will long be poinhted out as
'in exailple of virtue being its own
reward. Tweed suffered from a
complication of disoases, but his
death resulted immediately from
diseaso of the heart. Only a few
friends were around his bedside.
Win. Marcy T ved was born on
the 3d of April, 1823, and might
still have been called a young man.
He rose from low beginnings, his
father being a chairimaker. William
was taken into the shop, but having
dulled the tools, destroyed a few
chairs and cut his fingers, ho was
put out as errand boy in a hard
ware store. Taoro lhe turned his
attention to the alphabet, and first
learned to read. As lie grow up
his character developed itself. At
the age of twenty-six, ho was fore
man of the Amehiricus fire company,
faniiarly known as "Iig Six."
This coimptny rapidly reached the
first l)1;ce in the Now York fire
departmnent ; and Tweed took it on
a round of visits to Philadelphia,
\W'aas'iingtoi, and other placos, being
lionized and feted wherever he
wenut. Tho ire department was a
wsteppin - stone in politics, and in
1851 Tweed became alderman from
tWe Seventh ward. In 1853 he
repuesented the Democrats in Con
gress. Bnt that body being honest
in those days, he wearied of service
in it. In 1856 he was made school
conunissioner in his ward, and then
Isupervisor, in which office his
talents for plundering the publi.c
mainfested itself. This was ii(o
beginning of rings. In 1867 he be
Clime State Senator. At Albany
lie con trolled legislation, buying
Republicans whenever the Demo..
crats were in a minority.
IN THE STATE SENATE.
If there ever was a man not a
king who was awarded kingly
honors that man was Tweed, when
he was a miember of the upper
house of the State Logislature. He
lived in princely style at the Dala
van while lie was Senator, and his
princely ways of traveling to and
from the capitol was the admiration
of the "b'hoys." In the winter of
1871 the Legislature always ad
journed over from Friday afternoon
till the followving Monday evening,
and the "Boss" alwvays had a large
compilartnment to himself in one of
the WVagner cars, the only occupant
biesides himself b)eing, as a general
rule, either Claney or Corneille
CJorson, one of his pets. In 1871
the Albany trains left New York
from the~ Thirtieth street depot,
and it wvas the "ten-.thirty" train
which thle city members of the
fLegisla ture patronized. It was
'oimposed entirely of drawing room
cm s, for not one of the twenty-one
could in ths days bear the sight
of an ordinary ear. "'Thm cars,"
as one of the shining lights of the
* Lower Houiso used to say, wvas "only
good 'nouigh furi them hayrakors
from the countr'y." Twveed's comn
partmnent wvas always the best in
the linest car on the train. Tihiough
Sweeny, and even the dainty Con,
nolly, always pult in an alppearanco
at t lie dop ot, carpet-.bag in hand,
and got aboard with thme general
cr'owdl, it was not so with the
"Bo00s." When his carriage hove
in sight in Thirtieth street, near
Ninth avenue, the gates of the yar'd
of the depot were swung oipen and
the carriage was allowed to drive
in and deposit its precious freight
at the very door of the palace car
in which Twveed's compartment was
located. This answered a double
purpose. It allowed the ".Boss" to
escape the importunities of the
crowd of laborers who were always
in want, and to wvhom Tweed never
had the heart to refuse assistance
once they got hold of him, and it
made the twenty- one instruments
who did his bidding under the
name of "members from the city"
feel that they were not all bosses.
TWEED AND THE "B'N07S."
SYet Twaad was not an aveahnar.
ing chief to his logislative followers.
He always had a kind word for
everyone, and when ho took a
stroll, as he often did, through the
train he saw everybody at a glance.
It wais not "How do you do," Mr.
This or That, but "Flow are you,
Jim," "A nice day, Tom," "You're
looking like a fighting cock, Billy,"
and so on. It was always the samne
old "Boss" recognizing the fact that
though familiarity may brood con
tenpt in the ni:m who stoops to
conquer for those to whoin ho
stoops thoro are certain poople who
cani only be won by being p.ttted on
the hack and being called Tom, Jim
or Hank for friendship sake. But
it was at the Delavan that Tweed
acted the part of king with the
greatest effect. Ho had the finest
suit of rooms the house could afford
and it is said paid $500 a week for
them.
WHERE WORD WAS LAW.
There was one room that was
used as a reception room, and to
which everybody was welcome ; but
beyond the threshold of the sanctum
sanctorium, just off it, where the
"Boss" received his visitors who
lird "privato business" to transact,
no one dared to venture unless lie
was told by Clancy, who acted the
part of the sentinel on the watch
tower, that Mr. Tweed was ready
to receive him. Scarcely a day
passed during the session that the
reception room was not crowded by
applieants for favors. Republican
Senators and members of the Lower
House, some of whom, after the
"Boss' " downfall were the loudest
in their denunciations of the old
mtan, made it often their Mecca.
With cringing air and almost
bonded knee they stood, each wait.
ing his turn when the monarch of
the State government would deign
to listen to their pleadings. The
writer of this has now in his mind's
eye a Republicai Senator, then high
in the councils of his party, waiting
for an audience for fully an hour,
though he was one of the first to
call after the afternoon adjournment.
1le had been daring enough to dis
please the "Boss" in speaking too
plainly in the lobby what lie did
not dare to speak openly in the
Senate concerning a bill the "Boss"
favored. The next day a bill was
introducecl that threatened the very
life of the business by which the
Senator was made a man of means.
There was only one way out of the
difficulty-to bow low before the
throne, and when the "Boss" had
allowed an audience to every small
potato politician from every part of
the State, who called upon him that
day, the Seiator was allowed to
enter the presence. Protest and
prayer were vain, the "Boss" would
not interfere with that dreadful
bill. Day after (lay the Senator
called, till the "Boss" said lie would
"lot up" on the bill. The Senator
after that, Republican though he
was, considered silence golden when
the "Boss" wanted to have his own
wvay.
TnlE CRAsH!.
At this time New York lay at the
feet of the "Boss," and public money
flowed into his coffers. At last the
revulsion camne. Samuel J. Tildien
and other Democrats 1l(1 the attack,
and in a short time the members of
the ring, except T wood, were
fugitives. He thought himself
securo~ ; and his question, "Whlat
are you going to do about it ?" is a
matter of history. After conviction
ho escaped, but wvas recapturedl in
Spain and brought home. How he
har endldd his clays in Ludlow Street
jail every one knowvs.
