They're about all that's left of the League.
Now take the reform movement of 1894.

A lot of good politicians joined in that--the Republicans, the State Democrats, the Stecklerites and the O'Brienites, and they gave us a lickin', but the real reform part of the affair, the Committee of Seventy that started the thing goin', what's become of those reformers?
What's become of Charles Stewart Smith?
Where's Bangs?
Do you ever hear of Cornell, the iron man, in politics now?
Could a search party find R.W.

G.Welling?
Have you seen the name of Fulton McMahon or McMahon Fulton--I ain't sure which--in the papers lately?
Or Preble Tucker?
Or--but it's no use to go through the list of the reformers who said they sounded in the death knell of Tammany in 1894.

They're gone for good, and Tammany's pretty well, thank you.

They did the talkin' and posin', and the politicians in the movement got all the plums.
