American lawyer (1873-1958), who in 1930 headed the investigation into political corruption in New York City which brought about the decline of Tammany Hall. Sulzer (1863-1941) had been elected Democratic Governor of New York in 1913 with Tammany support, but had been removed from office following an internal dispute. One page, quarto. Very good. His reply to Sulzer's letter has been delayed due to 'pressure of other matters and my absence from the City'. He thanks Sulzer for the 'recent note conveying your good wishes. I want you to know how much I appreciate what you have said and also the consistent interest which you displayed in the Fusion movement.' Signed 'Saml Seabury'. N° de réf. du vendeur 4392

Etat : Fine. New York, April 7th, 1892., 1892. Fine. - A one-and-a-half page letter consisting of Over 80 words typed on two faces of 5-7/8 inch high by 4-7/8 inch wide "Office of the Commissioner of Public Works" stationery with an integral attached leaf. Then Commissioner of Public Works, Thomas Francis Gilroy writes to New York Lieutenant Governor William F. Sheehan to recommend that Sheehan appoint Mr. M.P. Wall to the board which has "control of the New York State Exhibit, at the World's Fair in Chicago". Signed "Thos Fr. Gilroy". There is a minor tear to the top of the fold between the first page and the integral leaf. Else, near fine. The Irish immigrant Thomas Francis Gilroy (1840-1911) moved to New York City at the age of seven. Starting work at 16 in the publishing business, he went on to serve as court clerk, county clerk and Undersheriff for New York County. Active in politics, he served as a messenger for "Boss" Tweed and subsequently as confidential secretary for Tweed's successor Henry W. Genet. Gilroy was appointed Commissioner of Public Works after managing Hugh J. Grant's successful mayoral campaign and became the titular head of the Tammany Hall organization, though not its real leader. He succeeded Hugh J. Grant as mayor in 1893 but became involved in the ongoing Tammany scandal due to the 1894 Lexow Investigation into widespread corruption in the police department which was tied in to the Tammany organization.

4to. 3-1/2 pp on a folded sheet, in Douglas's ink script. Signed at the end, "S. A. Douglas." Very Good. With typed transcription. Old folds, minor wear, Very Good. When he wrote this Letter, Douglas was 33 years old, serving his first term as a U. S. Senator from Illinois. Successful in crafting the unusually complicated Compromise of 1850, Douglas was already being discussed as a future Democratic presidential candidate. Despite his youth, he had become a national political figure. Thus this invitation from members of the influential Tammany Hall Democratic Club. Douglas expresses gratitude for the invitation, a "testimonial of your respect and confidence," and "a manifestation of your approbation of my course as a member of the Democratic Party and a senator in the Congress of the United States. You do me no more than justice when you say that my public career has been marked by fidelity and devotion to the principles and measures of that great party whose triumphs are identified with the most glorious achievements in our national history." Douglas recites the bedrock political principles which he, Tammany, and all good Democrats share: "The necessity for confining the federal government clearly within the limits of its legitimate functions- for preserving the rights of the States in their original purity and vigor - for maintaining ethe supremacy of the laws - and for a strict observance of every provision of our constitution- state and national, - has never been rendered more manifest than by our recent experience." Alas, Douglas must decline the invitation: "My public duties have kept me absent from my home nearly all the time for the last two years. I leave the city for the west this afternoon & therefore will not be able to accept your kind invitation." At the end of his Letter Douglas lists the Members of the Tammany Committee: "F. B. Cutting, Isaac Townsend, S. Livingston, E. B. Hart, Charles A. Secor, Edward C. West, Henry Nichol.". N° de réf. du vendeur 41520
