8 Tickets for the Democratic Republican General Committee

Tammany Hall, New York City, 1886-1890. An electioneering organization affiliated with Tammany and the county Democrats. It owned a club house and much like a European "party of integration" it implicated itself in the social life of its members: conducting excursions and clambakes, and involving the wives and children of members in its activities".In an effort to counter the threat posed by the United Labor party in 1886 to its position in the prevailing balance of factional politics, Tammany extended throughout the city the type of organization that had proved so successful in the Annexed District. The History of American Electoral Behavior edited by Joel H. Silbey, Allan G. Bogue. 1978..
