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.
