Proving once again that the pen is mightier than the sword. Boss Tweed’s life of greed and power was depicted in a series of larger than life political cartoons in Harper’s Weekly drawn by the famous illustrator of Saint Nicolas, Thomas Nast. Nast also created the Republican elephant and the Democratic donkey. On seeing these drawings Tweed said, “Stop them damned pictures. I don’t care so much what the papers say about me. My constituents don’t know how to read but they can’t help seeing them damned pictures!” William Marcy Tweed or as he was called Boss Tweed, was the leader of Tammany Hall, (the Democratic Party Political Machine). Tweed’s corrupt political organization operating out of Tammany Hall, 145-47 East 14th Street controlled the city for years, rigging elections, falsifying payrolls, bribing public officials, and taking enormous payoffs from private contractors using strong-armed tactics. Tweed was arrested in 1871 and his bail was set at $8 million dollars. He was convicted of forgery and lar- ceny and sentenced to twelve years in jail but only spent one year in jail. December 4, 1875 Boss Tweed Escapes Boss Tweed, in jail for a second time for his corrup- tion, was awaiting trial when he made a sensational escape from jail.

  • William Tweed - Boss of Tammany Hall
    William Tweed - Boss of Tammany Hall This clip - from a Ric Burns documentary about New York City - provides information about Tammany Hall and its nineteenth-century leader, Boss Tweed. William March Tweed was a big man. Standing more than 6 feet, and weighing nearly 300 pounds, he was formidable to see. Although he helped the City with significant projects, benefitting its residents, Tweed was not a man to cross. Used to getting his way, Tweed frequently bent the law in his own favor. He was accused of stealing from the public coffers (or at least diverting funds to himself and his friends). As major projects to benefit the City were planned - such as Central Park and the Brooklyn Bridge - it helped to know where sewers (for example) would be positioned. Tweed knew, and with that knowledge he bought the specific land which the City would need. It was just one way he used to increase his personal bank accounts. Then there was the court house - a seemingly never-ending project - which cost more than Britain’s Houses of Parliament. By 1870, people were wondering where Tweed was getting all his money (and why it was taking so long to build the courthouse). It wasn't just Tweed who helped himself to riches. Other members of Tammany Hall did the same thing. According to Digital History, at the University of Houston: George Washington Plunkitt of Tammany Hall, New York's Democratic political machine, distinguished between "honest" and "dishonest" graft. Dishonest graft involved payoffs for protecting gambling and prostitution. Honest graft might involve buying up land scheduled for purchase by government.
