  • Critical Bibliography
    Critical Bibliography Primary Sources Election, Census, and Tax Records County-level general election statistics for presidential and gubernatorial elections from 1880 to 1910 were supplied in machine-readable form by the Historical Archives of the Inter-University Consortium for Political Research at Ann Arbor, Michigan. The data provided was in partially proofed form, and the Consortium bears no responsibility for either the analyses or inter- pretations presented here. Computer analyses of the data were performed at Yale and Caltech. For a discussion of the methodology involved in the most important calculations and references to the methodological literature, see my article "Ecological Regression and the Analysis of Past Politics," in Journal of Interdisciplinary History 4 (1973): 237-262. State-level presidential returns were taken from Walter Dean Burnham, Presidential Ballots, 1836-1892 and Edgar E. Robinson, The Presidential Vote, 1896-1932. State-level gubernatorial and congressional returns were taken from contemporary almanacs—The New York Tribune Almanac (New York: Tribune Company, annually) and The Chicago Daily News Almanac (Chicago: Chicago Daily News Company, annually). Primary and referenda returns and registration statistics came from a variety of sources too lengthy to list here. For detailed citations, see my dissertation, "The Shaping of Southern Politics: Suffrage Restriction and the Establishment of the One-Party South" (Ph.D. diss., Yale University, 1971), pp. 427-429. Percentage figures for each election were calculated on the basis of straight-line interpolations from population data from the 1880-1910 censuses. From 1890 on, the census gave the numbers of adult males by race. The 1880 census did not give separate totals for white and black males over 21, so for that census I as- sumed the proportions were the same as the overall proportions of blacks and whites of all ages and of both sexes in each county.

  • Lane and Lincoln
    LANE AND LINCOLN by Craig Miner t first glance, the contrast be- tween Abraham Lincoln, the sainted president martyred at Ford’s Theater in 1865, and AJames H. Lane, the wild haired, some said mad, senator who committed suicide in 1866 in a hay field near his home in Kansas, seems too extreme to admit of much of an understanding, not to say re- lationship, between the two. Yet many contemporaries and some historians saw a more than casual tie between the men and commented on it. Interpretations range from viewing the Lane/Lincoln connection as a series of savvy temporary political accommoda- tions, to regarding it as incorporating a constant and sinister Swengalian influ- ence exerted by Lane on Lincoln. These differences in analysis reflect Lane’s vari- ety of impact on those who observed him, which in turn derived both from the breadth and flexibility of his personality President Abraham Lincoln. Craig Miner is the Garvey Distinguished Professor of History at Wichita State University. His most recent book is Facing the Day: A History of Kansas, 1854–2000, forthcoming from the University Press of Kansas. 186 KANSAS HISTORY A Mysterious Connection and from a certain thespian demeanor.1 A late-twentieth-century journalist com- mented that Lane “was a man of so many sides, no one—save perhaps Lincoln— knew which was real.”2 Also contributing to the extremes of speculation about Lane is that only a handful of letters from him have sur- vived. This was not because he was illit- erate, as was sometimes said during his life, but probably because he was so con- troversial that both he and his correspon- dents found it politic to destroy his mis- sives.
