TAMMANY’S GRAND SACHEM.

Frederick Smith, Ex-Recorder, Expresses His Idea of the Office. Frederick Smyth, lately Recorder of New York City, has been chosen Grand Sachem of the Tammany society and

recently he was installed in office. In his speech of acceptance of the insignia of office, he said: “The Grand Sachem of the Tammany society is not the leader of the Democratic party. He should not be

supposed to be. The leader Is chosen by the great body of the Democratic party. I am a politician, and I believe that every man In this country who is worthy of being a citizen should be a politician. It does not necessarily follow that by being a politician one is to be a scoundrel. We do not want scoundrels in Tammany, and we will not have them.”
