AMMAN! HALL.
j
SemetbiBg About tbe Oldest Democratic
Organization.
New York Star.
iLmms.ay Hal], the time-honored head¬
quarters of the Oldest social and politick
organization, in the I’aion—Abe famous
wigwam whose brarjs; 'fhie pom! * 1
history that is i: ConstftaLjtr
itself—had itab. of fire yesterday.
Little else than the • -i s of the historic
building were saved. This, however, wh'j
not prevent the wigwam from taking it*
share in the general gloriSeation over the
result cf the National Convention at SC
Louis. The fire* of Tammany will be kept
burning as of yore, it* banners flying, it*
transparencies lighted and its 60,000 follow¬
ers, energetic £- 1 enthusiastic, will work
like heroes uut • close of the polls oo
election day. t -? doably sure the rt-
eketioa ofGrov*.. velacd.
The old hall wili he speedily rebuilt, for
the Tammany treasury is rich. That treas¬
ury has supplied the sinews of war
for many a presidential campaign, sad
loyal Tammany votes have always bees de¬
pended on to swe.l Use majority by which
the Democracy, when ia fighting trim, can
sweep the Empire State. Long before the
real work of election begins the wigwam,
rehabilitated and redecorated, its great
hall draped with the banners of all the
States, will resound with the music of the
campaign, and with the eloquence of the
Democratic leaders.
Tammany Hall has seen many changes
since 17*, the year of Washington’s inan-
guration. when the famous society was
founded. At that time the Columbian Or¬
der was composed of the moderate men of
both political parties, and It was not until
the Jeffersonian era that it took an active
pari in State and national politics. Since
then it* history has been that of the country
iueif. The leading statesmen of the naiios
hive been proud to receive its honors, and
from tbe year when William Mooney be¬
came its first Grand Sachem, the list of his
successors shows the names of such men as
WtUiam Pitt Pmifh, Josiah Ogden Huffman.
DeWitt Clinton, John Trumbull, Martin
Van Buren, Lieutenant-Governor Broome,
Samuel J. Ti’.den, and hundreds of others
whose fame and statesmanship are house¬
hold words, It was the fin t of ad the pa¬
triotic organizations to celebrate Washing-
iuttton’s birthday — a fact which
he maay times afterward recalled
with pleasure. In ITtri it entertained Pres¬
ident Washington and the principal chief*
of the Carolina and Georgia Indians. When
the latter arrived in New York, the members
of the Tammany Society, arrayed in Indian
costume, went out to meet them accompa¬
nied by a military escort. The T..tnmany
braves entertained their distinguished guests
later at a banquet, at which wtie present
nearly all the notable statesmen of the day
Since that eventful occasion, the chiefs,
sachems, sagamore* and wiukioskie* of the
wigwam have never donned the w «r paint,
except metaphorically, but they have shown
J ^eir mTttta'inVhundred campaign*. While
half a score or more rival organizations
have appeared, flourished for a time and
vanished amid the matador.* of politics,
Tammany has survived. The old wigwam
has borne the brunt of many a campaign,
and won many a victory for the party
True. j t jja* met with reverses, and has had
* to face the dangers of internal opposition
and defection: but from these perils it has
emerged strontrer acd more*popular than
before. Like other political bodies, it ha*
sometimes blundered ; but it* blunders were
rather the result of individual ambitions
than of any departure from Democratic
principles, which >t ha* always kept steadi¬
ly in view. And to-day, even with their
wigwam partly in mins, the thief# of old
Tammany can point to a following such as
no other political organization eTer con¬
trolled. The «<■ ret of Tammany ? popular¬
ity with the Toting masses of New York is
it* simple Democracy, which gives every
Democrat a voi_*e in its councils.
The Star condoles with the Tsmmauy
braves on the destruction of their w:sprain:
. jj U t let them not regard the loss except a# a
' good of
omen- an in voluntary celebration
the good new? from ft. Louis. Let them
rebuild it. acd when it has again risen,
phoenix-like, a temple of Democracy, let
them keep the patriotic fires ablaze, bright¬
er and clearer than ever, so that the whole
nation may see their zeal Tor the success of
the party and the re-election of a President
whose name acd policy have been a talis¬
man to draw the people to bis support.

The City Park.
It is true that Griffin never under
takes an enterprise that she does not car
rj out. She has for a long time felt the
need of a park, bat has never determin
^ ^ OQt ^ proiect now>
and now she is ready and before many
months roll by we will see tbe dow
rough and rugged greandaofthe Sam
Bailey made into a lovely park ; provi ded,
the city council will give their consent,
and there seetjis to be no opposition
now. The plan as we understand it is
after the consent is given that a snbscrip
lion list be circulated among the citizens
and a sufficient amount of money raised
to make it a success. From the exptess
ions of the Qumeroq* •*-«i*nref tito peh
tion we fell assured' t karri >YtV '
soon and easily be raised, as many were
heard to say thai is what we have long
needed and they wert willing to donate
both labor and money for the proposed
park. Some of our best citizens, both
gentlemen and ladies, are enthusiastic
and we may safely say Griffia will soon
have a beautiful park,
