Charles Francis "Silent Charlie" Murphy (June 20, 1858 – April 25, 1924), also known as Boss Murphy, was a U.S. political figure, Head of New York City's Tammany Hall from 1902–1924. Murphy was responsible for transforming Tammany Hall's image from one of corruption to respectability, as well as extending Tammany Hall's political influence to national level.〔
==Early life==
Murphy was the son of Irish immigrants Dennis Murphy and Mary Prendergrass.〔 He quit school at age 14 and found a job at Roaches Shipyard, and eventually as a driver for the Crosstown Blue Lines Horsecar Co. After saving $500 from the jobs that he had worked, Murphy purchased a saloon in 1878, which he named Charlie's Place.〔 Charlie's Place became a local gathering place for local workers, but did not serve women.〔 The second floor of the Saloon served as the Sylvan Social Club, composed of men, aged 15 to 20.〔Allbray〕 With this social club, Murphy formed a baseball team and with all three groups, Murphy arose as a local political figure.
