After the exposure of William M. Tweed, Kelly, by then popularly known as “Honest John,” reorganized the Tammany machine.
Kelly’s refusal to back Tilden’s candidate for governor, Lucius Robinson, and his decision to run for governor himself as an independent helped bring about the election (1879) of Alonzo Cornell.
While he was head of Tammany, Kelly was able to determine the course of New York City elections, and he himself was city comptroller from 1876 to 1880.
