“One may think as he pleases here, and so long as he observes the ordinary rules of decent living he will retain his place in society. Christian, Jew, Turk, Heathen, all mingle together in pleasant social intercourse, careless of each other’s opinions, and taking each other for just what the individual man is worth. And so it is in politics. The most decided political antagonists may be in private life intimate friends. New York cares nothing for individual opinions. It welcomes every man, and uses him as best it can.”
—New York By Gaslight, 1882
