Extractions: George Washington Plunkitt, "Honest Graft," 1905 Plunkitt of Tammany Hall was a skillful and candid Tammany sachem; his observations on politics, taken down by the reporter William L. Riordon and first published as newspaper interviews, still make rewarding reading. Plunkitt's defense of "honest graft" and his disdainful account of reformers were humorously put, but they were in fact a serious statement of the attitude of political leaders of his type. Plunkitt became a millionaire, largely through "honest graft." Everybody is talkin' these days about Tammany men growin' rich on graft, but nobody thinks of drawin' the distinction between honest graft and dishonest graft. There's all the difference in the world between the two. Yes, many of our men have grown rich in politics. I have myself. There's an honest graft, and I'm an example of how it works. I might sum up the whole thing by sayin': "I seen my opportunities and I took 'em." Just let me explain by examples.

George Washington Plunkitt's Honest Graft?
Re George Washington Plunkitt's honest graft? From Sean Thompson Time 103537 AM Remote Name 129.72.243.149 While I haven't quite reached the end of Plunkitt, I would like to add to the discussion of the questions you raised.
http://uwadmnweb.uwyo.edu/dshaffer/_hist1221/000000d7.htm

Extractions: Remote Name: While evaluating Plunkitt of Tammany Hall, I was wondering if the public eye knew of G.W.P's so called honest graft? Was it ever published in newspapers or pamphlets. Granted that many people in the city were illiterate, it could have still been passed through word of mouth. Seems if the people knew, they may see that Plunkitt is making his so called graft off of insider information only accessible to himself. Plunkitt seemed to be a swindler, coniving, egotistical freak....in my opinion, and I can't see why all the people revered him. Thanks, Scott Johnson [dshaffer/_private/hist1221_aftr.htm]

Extractions: Opposition to Lincoln Steffen From George Washington Plunkitt's book Plunkitt of Tammany Hall: Plain Talks on Very Practical Politics (1905). Plunkitt on Steffens' "The Shame of the Cities." I've been readin' a book by Lincoln Steffens on The Shame of the Cities. Steffens means well but, like all reformers, he don't know how to make distinctions. He can't see no difference between honest graft and dishonest graft and, consequent, he gets things all mixed up. There's the biggest kind of a difference between political looters and politicians who make a fortune out of politics by keepin' their eyes wide open. The looter goes in for himself alone without considerin' his organization or his city. The politician looks after his own interests, the organization's interests, and the city's interests all at the same time. See the distinction? For instance, I ain't no looter. The looter hogs it. I never hogged. I made my pile in politics, but, at the same time, I served the organization and got more big improvements for New York City than any other livin' man. And I never monkeyed with the penal code. The difference between a looter and a practical politician is the difference between the Philadelphia Republican gang and Tammany Hall. Steffens seems to think they're both about the same; but he's all wrong. The Philadelphia crowd runs up against the penal code. Tammany don't. The Philadelphians ain't satisfied with robbin' the bank of all its gold and paper money. They stay to pick up the nickels and pennies and the cop comes and nabs them. Tammany ain't no such fool. Why, I remember, about fifteen or twenty years ago, a Republican superintendent of the Philadelphia almshouse stole the zinc roof off the buildin' and sold it for junk. That was carryin' things to excess. There's a limit to

http://www.bedfordstmartins.com/usingseries/hovey/mcdonald.htm

Extractions: Edited with an Introduction by Terrence J. McDonald The rhetoric of the American Revolution warned that the exercise of power was an inducement to corruption: A successful republic required virtuous, disinterested leaders who, in their work for the public good, would not pursue personal gain. According to the republican ideal, then, the emergence of "professional politicians" could only symbolize the corruption of government. By the beginning of the twentieth century, some Americans had become convinced that such corruption was widespread and argued for political reforms that would remove the profit motive from public office. Promoters of "good government"be they genteel "Mugwumps" or a later generation of progressivesespecially advocated civil service reform at the municipal level as a means of disabling urban political machines. In their textbook, students will learn that the development of machine politics accompanied the rapid growth of American cities during the latter half of the nineteenth century. Survey texts also describe the place of political reform in the progressive agenda. By reading the most famous apologia of machine politics, Plunkitt of Tammany Hall , students will gain insight into the function of urban machines, as expressed by George Washington Plunkitt, Tammany politician and candid dispenser of practical wisdom.
