  • Theodore Roosevelt, Henry Cabot Lodge, and the 1884 Republican National Convention by Edward Kohn, Bilkent University
    Crossing the Rubicon: Theodore Roosevelt, Henry Cabot Lodge, and the 1884 Republican National Convention by Edward Kohn, Bilkent University In 1884, a twenty-five-year-old Theodore Roosevelt attended the Republican National Convention in Chicago as a delegate-at-large from New York. There, he and his new friend, Massachusetts delegate Henry Cabot Lodge, backed George Edmunds of Vermont against their party's overwhelming choice, the "Plumed Knight," James G. Blaine. Despite their energetic efforts, which received national attention, Blaine easily secured the nomination, and both Lodge and Roosevelt eventually backed the party's choice. For Lodge biographers, the Chicago convention represented Lodge's "personal Rubicon," the "turning point" of his career, leading to "the great- est crisis of Lodge's political life."1 Roosevelt historians also see the convention as "one of the crucial events of Theodore's life," "the great and deciding moment of TR's life," leading to "the most agonizing dilemma of his political career."2 The usual story of the convention is that by backing Blaine against the wishes of other Independent Republicans, both Lodge and Roosevelt did great damage to their immediate careers by alienating their natural allies. This led to Lodge losing his race for Congress that same fall and to Roosevelt fleeing west to his Dakota ranch with his political future uncertain. Moreover, Roosevelt's decision is often depicted as the moment he became a professional politician. David McCullough writes that the convention "marked the point at which he chose—had to choose— whether to cross the line and become a party man, a professional politician," while John Morton Blum asserts that by campaigning for Blaine, "Roosevelt declared not only for Blaine but also for professionalism."3 .

  • Civil Service in New York State History and Overview
    CIVIL SERVICE IN NEW YORK STATE HISTORY AND OVERVIEW By Stephen Estes Deputy Commissioner of Personnel Revised August 11, 2008 CIVIL SERVICE IN NEW YORK STATE Stephen Estes, Deputy Commissioner of Personnel August 11, 2008 “To the victor belong the spoils.” Nowhere was that adage truer than in New York State in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The spoils system flourished from the first day of office of George Clinton, first governor of New York, in 1777 until modification of the Constitution in 1883. This type of system continued to thrive for many years without regard to which party was in power. This political patronage system was administered through Albany’s infamous Council of Appointment, which doled out thousands of state jobs to the party faithful. In 1821, a new state constitution was adopted that removed the power of appointment from the hands of the Council of Appointment and gave it solely to the governor of the state, requiring him to have approval of the state senate in order to make appointments. Unfortunately, this charter revision resulted in the rise of the “Albany Regency,” which, in its early days, was used extensively by Governors Martin Van Buren (later our 8th president) and William L. Marcy (later a U.S. senator). These politicians used the Albany Regency to control job appointments for their own political gain. It took the assassination of President James A. Garfield in 1881, to create an outrage sufficient to result in the demise of the spoils system in New York State. [President Garfield was assassinated by a disgruntled office seeker: I often wonder if this person was seeking work with the newly established United States Postal Service.] Many individuals and reform groups worked diligently for years to remove the enormous power of patronage from the hands of the governor but for the most part, their pleas to Congress fell on deaf ears.
