Excerpt from The Tweed Ring in New York CityBy the system of municipal government inaugurated in 1857 it will be noticed that the common council had very little power. The most in¿uential authorities were the mayor and the exe cutive boards and officers¿'fi part elected by the voters of the city, in part appointed by the central government of New York State. This was the general character of the government that New York possessed when it fell into the hands of a band of statesmen of more than average ability and of quite pheno menal dishonesty, whose career constitutes the greatest reproach that has ever been cast upon popular government.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
