"Tammany Ring" refers to the infamous and corrupt political machine in New York City in the 1870’s, led by wikipedia:William_M._Tweed (1823-1878, known as "Boss" Tweed), at the head of the wikipedia:Tammany_Hall Democratic Party. The party at the time catered to Irish Catholic immigrants and first generation families, an electoral base from which it derived the source of its great power. Germans, another large immigrant group, did not generally participate in city politics.
