Hiatt—for many years and its existence, save to a few, has been unknown. It is fragmentary in form. It is possibly the close of a journal which had been kept for years before. Its first sentence in the original is an incomplete one, showing that there was an antecedent portion. The picture of the times is so graphic than the Indiana Historical Society publishes it, on account of its historical value. Mr. Owen was 22 years old at the time of its composition.

  • Daniel D. Pratt: Senator and Commissioner
    Daniel D. Pratt: Senator and Commissioner Joseph E. Holliday* The election of Daniel D. Pratt, of Logansport, to the United States Senate in January, 1869, to succeed Thomas A. Hendricks had come after a bitter internal struggle within the ranks of the Republican members of the Indiana General Assembly. The struggle was precipitated by James Hughes, of Bloomington, who hoped to win the honor, but it also uncovered a personal feud between Lieutenant Governor Will E. Cumback, an early favorite for the seat, and Governor Conrad Baker. Personal rivalries threatened party harmony, and after several caucuses were unable to reach an agreement, Pratt was presented as a compromise candidate. He had been his party’s nominee for a Senate seat in 1863, but the Republicans were then the minority party in the legislature. With a majority in 1869, however, the Republicans were able to carry his election. Pratt’s reputation in the state was not based upon office-holding ; he had held no important state office, and his only legislative experience before he went to Washington in 1869 was service in two terms of the general assembly. It was his character, his leadership in the legal profession in northern Indiana, and his loyal service as a campaigner that earned for him the esteem of many in his party. Daniel D. Pratt‘s experience in the United States Senate began with the inauguration of Ulysses S. Grant in March, 1869. Presiding over the Senate was Schuyler Colfax, another Hoosier, who had just been inaugurated vice-president of the United States. During the administration of President Andrew Johnson, the government had been subjected to severe stress and strain between the legislative and executive branches.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

    Indiana Law Review Volume 52 2019 Number 1 SYMPOSIUM HOOSIER BRIDESMAIDS MARGO M. LAMBERT* A. CHRISTOPHER BRYANT** Indiana proudly proclaims itself the “Crossroads of America.”1 While some northeast-corridor cynics might deride the boast as a paraphrase for flyover country, there is no denying the political significance of the Hoosier State’s geographical and cultural centrality. As one of Indiana’s most celebrated historians has observed, “[b]y the beginning of the twentieth century Indiana was often cited as the most typical of American states, perhaps because Hoosiers in this age of transition generally resisted radical change and were able usually to balance moderate change with due attention to the continuities of life and culture.”2 Throughout the Gilded Age, elections in the state were so closely fought that the winning party rarely claimed more than slimmest majority.3 At the time, Indiana tended to favor Republicans over Democrats, but the races were close with Democrats claiming their share of victories.4 During these years, voter turnout remained high in presidential elections, with Indiana ranging from the eightieth to the ninetieth percentiles, no doubt a product of the closeness of the contests. Such voter turnout substantially exceeded that typical of surrounding states.5 Hoosiers liked to politick. The state’s high voter participation may also have been, in some part, attributable to its relaxed voting laws for adult males during the nineteenth * Associate Professor of History, University of Cincinnati Blue Ash College. ** Rufus King Professor of Constitutional Law, University of Cincinnati College of Law. The authors, proud Hoosiers by birth and Buckeyes by professional opportunity, thank first and foremost Brad Boswell for entrusting us with the opportunity to open the March 29, 2018 Symposium.

  • My First State Convention by ELIJAHA
    My First State Convention By ELIJAHA. GLADDEN A half-century ago (1884) six men who had been selected at a Scott County mass convention as delegates to the Demo- cratic state convention started for Indianapolis from Scotts- burg. They were Jefferson Gladden, Chas. W. Cruson, David M. Hughbanks, Harry Jewett, Mark Storen and Elijah A. Gladden. Of these all have passed away except Elijah A. Gladden, the writer of this reminiscence. On the train, we fell in with Jonas Howard, the nominee for Congress from the old third congressional district, S. M. Stockslager, Col. Tom Hanlon, John Benz and many other active Democrats. At Columbus we fell in with Green Smith, Lincoln Dixon, George Cooper and others. On arrival at Indi- anapolis, we were impressed at the size of the railway station, or rather its lack of size, it being no larger than the Scotts- burg depot. We went north on Illinois Street to Market Street and then east to the Circle which was a small park at that time, the monument being erected several years later. We went to the English Hotel where all six of us were assigned to a commodius room. After dinner we went out to see the city. The court house was the only large building to be found. The state house was built to the third story. The Fletcher building and the magnificent union station were both fairy dreams. We went about town on street cars drawn by mules, the mule cars not being supplanted by electric cars until 1893. We spent a pleasant night at the hotel.

  • Careers of Six Hoosier Candidates of 1860 by H
    Careers of Six Hoosier Candidates of 1860 By H. S. K. BARTHOLOMEW In the election of 1860, there were six candidates for state offices, three on each ticket, who were destined later to figure conspicuously in national affairs and several of them in state affairs as well. Three of these were to fill the gov- ernor’s chair, five to serve in the United States Senate, one to become president of the United States, and one to be speak- er of the national House of Representatives. The three Re- publicans all of whom were elected in that memorable year, were Henry S. Lane, Oliver P. Morton and Benjamin Harri. son; the three Democrats were Thomas A. Hendricks, David Turpie and Michael C. Kerr. Henry S. Lane and Thomas A. Hendricks were the opposing candidates for governor, and Oliver P. Morton and David Turpie for lieutenant-governor. Benjamin Harrison and Michael C. Kerr ran against each other for reporter of the supreme court. Lane was elected governor succeeding Abram A. Hnm- mond, who was serving out the unexpired term of Ashbel P. Willard, the latter having died in office four months before the end of his term. A few days after Lane was inaugurated, he was elected to the United States Senate and resigned the governorship. Morton, who had been elected lieutenant-gov- ernor, succeeded him and served the full term of four years excepting the few days that had been served by Lane. He is always known in history as Indiana’s war governor. In 1864 he was elected to the governorship and served a little over two years of that term, when he resigned to go to the Senate as the successor of Lane.

  • Crown Hill's Origin and Development.Pub
    CROWN HILL’S ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT Beauty of the Cemetery Due to Unselfish Spirit and Wise Management. NATURE’S CHARMS PRESERVED Consistent Course by Which Effects of Serenity, Peace and Seclusion Have Been Maintained. “The cemetery is an open space among the ruins, covered in winter with violets and daisies. It might make one in love with death to think that one should be buried in so sweet a place.” So wrote the English poet Shelley concerning the Protestant cemetery in Rome, in which by a strange coincidence, he himself was finally laid to rest. The same thought would apply in some degree to Crown Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis. Not that it is “an open space among ruins,” like the little cemetery at Rome, for though it is surrounded by all the marks of modern progress. The atmosphere of sacred seclusion that pervades the inclosure seems to say to the waves of worldly activity that surround its borders, “Thus far shalt thou come but no farther.” The living who pass its portals fine themselves at once in an atmosphere entirely distinct from that they left behind, and the dead who find their final resting place amid its quiet borders must feel grateful, if the dead experience human emotions, that their mortal remains have been buried in so sweet a place. Crown Hill cemetery is a product of evolution, and is typical of the growth of Indianapolis through various stages from a frontier settlement to a straggling village, a capital in the woods, a sleepy country town, a prosperous railroad center, a robust community feeling its strength and demanding recognition, to a metropolitan city of national fame.
