In Breaking Rings!
THE TRUE HISTORY OF THE
DOWNFALL OF THE TWEED
AND CANAL RINGS!
(CoDtioued.)
THE CANAL RING.
The Canal Riog of the State of New
York was a much oldef organization than
tne lwcea lUDg. its career was more
prolonged, and the territory it covered was
larger, though its operations were not of
such magnitude. Nevertheless, it was an
organization oioro powerful for evil in the
politics of tho State. It was a clique of
contractors, who by means of fraudulent
devices in contracts for repairs, &c, by
false measurements, estmates and audits,
plundered the canals of their immense
revenues. To secure confederates, the
Ring joined itself to both parties, nominat
ed, where it could, all canal officers, and
took care to have a cufficient proportion of
its friends in the Legislature, and also to
have the canal appropriation committees
made up of its tools. This secret combi
nation, which always avoidod publicity and
display, had an immense influence in the
politics of the State, especially in the
Democratic party, and dated back many
years in its hwtory. It was this powcrfu
organization which Mr. Tilden conceived
it to be his first duty to attack on taking
the Governor's chair. In his first annua
message to the Legislature he asked for
the passage of laws facilitating the punish
mcnt of official defaulters and peculators,
which had boen prepared by himself and
Charles O'Conor. While the public
understood that those lhad been framed
especially to enable certain suits to be
brought against the Tweed King, they did
not know that they were framed, while in
tended to cover all such cases, with
especial reference to the Canal King, which
Oov, Tilden was getting ready to expose
In his message he also outlined his
policy of adminibtrativc reform which he
has steadily adhered to since. Meanwhile
he was collecting lis proofs, and, on th
18th of March,1 1875, he addressed to th
Legislature a long and alle message
describing in detail the methods of frauds
practiced for many years upon the canal
showing the extent to which the robberies
of the King hud run the State in debt, an
asking an investigation. The disclosures
made by his message aroused a storm of
indignation throughout the State, and the
frightened King, though having great in
fluence in the Legislature, could not pre
vent an investigation. A commission was
appointed, headed by John Bigelow, which
devoted the remainder of the year to
the investigation, oud disclosed astound
ing frauds. So much if the fraud had
been accomplished through Acts of the
Legislature and awards of boards, that the
work of obtaining judicial proof was diffi
cult almost beyoud belief, but the Com
mission,, by dint of greot industry and
skill, succeeded in unearthing and proving
great thefts. The facts they obtained
were reported to Ooy. Tilden as boou as
they could be got into proper form, and
were by him at once transmitted to the
Attorney General, with instructions to
bring suits. These suits arc now pend
ing in the Courts, and if successful, will
restore large sums to the treasury of the
State. This is only a part howevor, of
the results achieved. Gov. Tilden's (lis
closures not only destroyed forever the
political influence of the Ring, but put
an immediate stop to its fraudulent pruc
ticcs, and the triumph of his llcform ticket
at the Fall election of 1875 put the canals
under the charge of honest men. The
reform in the management of the canals
is complete; the work of punibh'iDg the
thieves still goes on as fast as the Courts
can reach it.
I he result ot Oov. iildcns action was
Repairs and maintenance. . . . 2.247,297
Damages 305,796
2,553,093
Balance against the State..... $650,103
This amount, however, did not include
the interest on the canal debt, the cost of
collections and the difference between the
miscellaneous receipts and expenditures
ncluding these the loss to the State dur
ing the fiscal year of 1875, was $1,412,470.
One of the favorite devices for fraud on
the canals was that of building vertical
wall where elope wall only was required.

be Commission, beside disclosing all the
rottenness of existing canal management,
and destroying it, proved improper pay
mentstothe amount of $393,875. They
showed that the amount expended on new
work on the canals ia the six years which
their investigation covered was $8,444,-
824, of which a good share was undoubted
fraudulent. They detected, exposed
and drove from his office the Republican
Auditor of the Canal Department, who
had been carrying on a brokerage business
in the obligations he was required by law
to audit, and was "shaving" them to the
amount of hundreds of thousands of dol
ars. Now all this is changed. The
canals of New York are managed, under
Gov. Tilden's administration, with the
same strict business economy and honesty
as if they were a private enterprise in pri
vate hands. Gov. Tilden's motto has al
ways been that the government existed for
the people not the people for the govern
menu
IN IMPROVING METH
ODS OF ADMINISTRA
TION.
Lrov. Tilden builds up after tearing
d)wn. After ridding the City of New
York of tlm Tweed Ring, he saw the ne
cessity of erectine every possible barrier
to the formation of Rings in future, both
in that and other cities. He therefore
addresses a message to the Legislature in
IS75, calling their attention ro the crush
ing burden of municipal debts, the need
of restricting munioipal expenditures and
lightning the load of local taxation, an
the necessity of providing some uniform
and economical system rf gvcrnniPit for
cities of the State. This message showed
the aggregate debt of the twenty-four
cities of State to be $175,000,000; the ag
gregate ol tho city taxation,$3G.000,000;the
aggregate county and state taxation, $13
OtX),000; the aggregate of taxation, $50,
iKH),OO0. The Legislature authorized Gov
Tilden to appoint a commission, which he
composed of many of the ablest lawyers
and most distinguished specialists in the
State, without regard to party. This com
mission has now been at work for more
than a year in preparing a general char
ter for all cities in the State, which is ex
pected to put an end to many of the worst
abuses now existing in municipal govern
ments.
Gov. Tilden's exposure of the Canal
Ring blasted all the projects of the Ring
and put an end to the wasteful expendi
ture ofthe people's money. But not con
tent with this, Gov. Tilden, during the
Winter of 1876, urged upon the Legisla
ture a number ot improvements in the
canals which would greatly increase their
carrying capacity, and which could bt
made with the money the corrupt ex
pcmliture uf which on the canals his dis
closures hud prevented. Measures were at
once taken to carry these recommendations
iuto effect, and to introduce further re
forms in the canal management. So that
when Mr. Tilden retires from the Gov
crnor's chair next January he can not
only show that he has broken up the two
great political Rings of the State, but that
he has done much to repair the ravages
they have made, and more than that, wil
cave to the cities and the canals a re
formed system of government a bulwari
for the taxpayer and an impassable barrier
to the thief. Gov. Tilden is not a detec
tive politician; his reforms are complete
and statesmaulike.
