text_A: Parker was the Chief Judge of the New York Court of Appeals and was respected by both Democrats and Republicans in his state. On several occasions, the Republicans paid Parker the honor of running no one against him when he ran for various political positions. Parker worked actively in public for these nominations, but did nothing to suggest that he would curry favor with his conservative supporters, chiefly the sachems of Tammany Hall. Former President Grover Cleveland endorsed Parker.
text_B: Could you still reasonably say, after reading this passage, that even for a principled politician, having to be on good terms with Tammany Hall was simply a cost of admission for local politics at the time?
NO.
