  • The 1895 Election a Watershed In
    THE FILSON CLUB HISTORY QUARTERLY VOL. 37 LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY, APRIL, 1963 No. 2 THE 1895 ELECTION A WATERSHED IN KENTUCKY POLITICS BY Jom• EDWARD WILTZ Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana On November 5, 1895 -- election day -- Kentucky politics entered a new era; the conservative so-called Bourbon Democratic dynasty which had reigned virtually unchallenged in the Commonwealth since the end of the Civil War fell before the Republicans. From this debacle the old dynasty never recovered. This is not to say that con- servative Democrats were forever silenced by the defeat of November 5 ; but from that day forward a new and more progressive spirit inspired the majority party in Kentucky. For Kentucky this meant a pronounced weakening of the long-time alliance between corporate interests and the Frankfort government, an alliance which for thirty years had kept Kentucky free of liberal programs and had made her a haven for predatory interests and for incompetent and corrupt politicians. Weak- ening of the alliance eventually meant tax reform, greater state control over corporations, labor and prison reform, school and highway improvements. The year 1895 was politically important in other respects. It marked the beginning of the cycle which has periodically seen the Republican Party of Kentucky capitalize on Democratic disunity and win control of the.state government. From 1895 onward the two-party system had meaning in the Commonwealth. Further, the year 1895 set the stage in Kentucky for the Presidential election campaign of 1896. Out of the rubble of the 1895 defeat the free silver Democrats arose and secured control of Kentucky's delegation to the 1896 Democratic National Convention.

  • And Type the TITLE of YOUR WORK in All Caps
    A. B. “HAPPY” CHANDLER AND THE POLITICS OF CIVIL RIGHTS by JOHN PAUL HILL (Under the Direction of James C. Cobb) ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the complex civil rights views of Albert Benjamin “Happy” Chandler, one of Kentucky’s most controversial and charismatic politicians of the twentieth century. To offer perspective on his positions, this study focuses on Chandler’s statements and actions during several important periods in civil rights history. Chandler served two terms as governor (1935-1939, 1955-1959). During the first, the NAACP launched its first concerted campaign to desegregate the University of Kentucky. During the second, whites in two western Kentucky communities violently protested efforts to desegregate local schools in compliance with the Supreme Court’s landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision. Between his two terms as governor, Chandler served six years in the United States Senate (1939-1945) and six years as commissioner of Major League Baseball (1945-1951). As a member of the Senate, Chandler voted on antilynching legislation and on two bills designed to eliminate the poll tax in state and federal elections. During his term as commissioner, the game’s entrenched, longstanding ban on interracial play collapsed when Jackie Robinson took the field for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. In 1968, nine years after he had last held elective office, Chandler nearly became the running mate of George C. Wallace, the arch-segregationist former governor of Alabama who was pursuing the presidency under the banner of the American Independent Party. Despite his flirtation with Wallace, Chandler’s overall handling of the important civil rights matters of the day clearly distinguished him from most of his southern political colleagues.
