m m a a r i However this custo y have originated , i t i s p t c u la rly appropriate that i t should b e p erp etua ted and fo l lowed by the House . In this era public men are subj ected to m m m so uch cri ticis , and so uch evil is attributed to m the , so many sinister motives are charged as charac

It is diffi cul t for anyon e who is no t fami liar wi th the complex life o f the great metropolis of this countr y to understand an d appreciate such a character as the late
- TI MOTHY D . SULLIVAN . Many of those living to day in m the grea t ci ty , unfa iliar wi th the condi tions prevailing
30 40 5 0 i . , , or years ago , can have li ttle understand ng of the influences that not only mad e possible b ut imp era ti v ely forced such a m a n in to domin ati on in poli ti cal m m f . a fairs New York i s a grea t cos opolitan com uni ty. to which come the poor an d the oppressed from every clime in the civilized worl d .

lower East Side , a section o f the ci ty much discussed b ut so li ttle understood by idealists who a ttemp t the
m m o f i possible in the refor a tion human nature . He was brought up in a school where strong m e n n aturally force
m a . n their way to the fron t A of grea t courage , of big heart , of winning p ersonali ty , with symp athy always ready to extend to the unfortuna te and the oppressed , he very quickly a ttra cted to himself the loyal support of m who ff any persons , indi eren t to hi s poli tical V iews , were a ttached to hi m b ecause o f th e innumerable secret kind
e ness s which were extended through hi s boun ty . It is somewha t in teresting to recall tha t the elements o f his strength and his won derful power in the poli tics in the ci ty of New York were due to the same characteristics and conditi ons that first made Tammany Hall a domin an t poli tical force in tha t ci ty . The Columbian Order o r Tammany Society was organ 1 z 78 9 . I i e d in t is a chari table and a p a trio tic socie ty . Its purpose is to inculcate deeply in the hearts of the p e o m ple the principles on which our Govern en t is founded, to cultivate the p atrio ti c spirit , and to help those who are
m th e unfortun ate o r in distress . Fro the early days in history o f the country the soci ety was no ted for the p a tri otic part i t took in the eff ort to have suitabl e buri al pro v i de d fo r the remains of the m e n known as the martyrs
who i of the prison ships , during the R evolut on ary War, were taken prisoners by the Bri tish Army and imprisoned in a numb er o f old sugar - cargo ships tha t were anchored
allab ou t in wh at is known as W Bay , the site of the pres en t n avy yard in the city o f New York . By degrees thi s

o f the communi ty and realized tha t such a society could b e instrumental and domin an t in the political aff airs of the comm unity . If I recall correctly, although he was
m n o r n o r b nei ther a grand sache a sachem , even a mem er f l o f tha t organiz ati on , by associa ti on and a fi ia tion wi th the dominant spirits in it he rep eatedly utilized his friend shi p s wi th such men so that the socie ty exerted consider able influence in poli tical affairs . i Mr . SULLIVAN lived i n accordance with this tra d tional
f th e . spirit o organiz ation The poor, the oppressed , those in distress in that great lower east - si de section of the city
f o n e m o New York knew tha t he was a friend, to who an m app eal was never a de in vain .
In tha t wonderful communi ty , wi th i ts magnificent
r efi n e businesses , its temples , i ts p alaces , its cul ture , its m ment , an d i ts wealth , the flotsam and j etsam of hu ani ty is there cared for by wise disp ensations o f offici al and m m private organiza tions , but uch Of the distress is seldo reache d excep t through the indivi dual eff ort of some on e in whom these derelicts o f human na ture have unbounded confi dence . His was a chari ty that was not op enly a n d pub licly displayed . Whil e there were innumerabl e ways in whi ch he p articip ated in the open and known char i ti es , i t was through the qui et an d secret kindn esses that he extended to the distressed an d the unfortunate , that a grea t bo dy of men an d women an d chil dren came to hi m love him and resp ect as their friend . A memb er of the Tammany Society an d a memb er o f what is known — - mm to day as Ta any Hall which , although i t comprises in i ts memb ership the offi cials of the Columb ian Order o r i l Tammany Society , is st l the term which is prop erly attrib uted to the official organiz a tion o f the D emocra tic — Party in the county of New York his power and i n fluen ce grew as his life was extended along the lines of somewha t useful endeavor .

S ULLIVAN p erhap s might n o t satisfy those who could not apprecia te the p eculi a r condi tions under which he had lived and worked . He acquired grea t political power in hi s communi ty and in

i es o f t in the great ci ty New York and retain i t . Perhaps the chief o f these characteristics is that a man must b e truthful . TIMOTHY D . S ULLIVAN was a truthful man . He m hated sha , and he avoided it . He was no ted for his f m truthfulness o state en t , and with the accomp anying and n ecessary corollary tha t his word , when once given , was

In the S tate legisla ture , during the score of years of his

He did not , as some do , preach mercy an d kindness and forgiveness and then wi thhold the helping hand from the fallen and p eni tent who might thereby regain usefulness and b e restored to

His presence always len t a distinct quali ty to any conference on poli tical and governmen tal subj ects .
