Tammany Hall

Japanese: タマニー・ホール(英語表記)Tammany Hall
Tammany Hall
A political party organization with its origins in the Tammany Society, which was founded in New York City in 1789 as a kind of charitable organization. It was named Tammany Hall after the building in which it was headquartered. After Aaron Burr used it as a Democratic Party organization in the 1800 presidential election, the term came to refer to the Democratic Party machine that controlled city politics from behind the scenes. The word Tammany comes from the name of an Indian clan chief in colonial Delaware, who was known as St. Tammany.

1789年,アメリカのニューヨーク市において一種の慈善団体として設立されたタマニー協会に起源をもつ政党機関。本部の置かれた会館にちなんでタマニー・ホールと呼ばれた。1800年の大統領選挙でアロン・バーが民主党の機関として利用してからは,市政を背後から操縦する民主党のマシーンのことを指すようになった。タマニーの語源は,植民地時代のデラウェアにおけるインディアン一族の首長の名に由来し,彼はセント・タマニーと称されていた。
