  • 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.

  • Thesis-Antithesis: Clark & Casey
    Thesis-Antithesis: Clark & Casey January 31, 2007 by Dr. G. Terry Madonna and Dr. Michael Young The ghost of Joe Clark has been lurking around the edges of political news lately following the election of Pennsylvania Democrat Bob Casey Jr. to the Senate. Clark served as US Senator from Pennsylvania from 1957 until 1969. Before entering the Senate, he was mayor of Philadelphia, a lawyer, a writer (author of two books), and something of an intellectual (a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences). Clark is remembered due to the historical significance of his last electoral victory; in 1962 he was the last Democrat to be elected to a full six-year term until Bob Casey turned the trick in 2006. Clark and Casey have this history in common. But the two men seem almost polar opposites in most other ways. Tracing the backgrounds, careers, and philosophies of the pair reveal them to be virtual political antonyms--the yin and yang of Pennsylvania politics. Consider: Divergent Family Background--Clark was the quintessential blue blood, coming from a family with roots in the state dating back to the early 19th century. His family hobnobbed with the likes of lawyer/financier Jay Cooke. He attended Harvard as did his dad. He lived a life to the manor born with private country clubs and debutante parties. On the other hand, Casey was the grandson of a coal miner, was reared in a hard scrabble town, and attended Catholic school. One of seven siblings, his early background was solidly middle class, his values solidly middle American, and his politics solidly FDR Democrat.

  • The Boss Tactics of Matthew Stanley Quay
    A Practical Politician: The Boss Tactics of Matthew Stanley Quay William Alan Blair The Pennsylvania State University, University Park During the 1880s, the Pennsylvania Republican leadership faced and sur- vived a serious challenge. The decade opened with a national convention that engendered revolt within the Republican machine. Many of the disaffected felt oppressed by the heavy-handed rule of the Camerons. Simmering resentment boiled over in 1880 as the Camerons pushed for the nomination of Ulysses S. Grant to a third term as president.! The next year, a reform movement called the Committee of One Hundred formed in Philadelphia. By 1882, a Democrat became governor in Pennsylvania; two years later, another Democrat gained the White House. In this time of uncertainty, a politician named Matthew Stanley Quay emerged from the shadow of Simon and Don Cameron to restore the state Republican party to power and preserve the machine's dynasty. At the time, Quay also faced an uncertain political future. As secretary of the Commonwealth, he had directed state affairs while Simon Cameron, followed by his sonJ. Donald, sat in the U.S. Senate. By 1884, the fifty-one-year-old Quay had dropped out of state office and lost an election for U.S. Congress. He stood to lose even more. Simon Cameron forsook the 1884 national convention, leaving his voting proxy not with Quay but with Chris Magee, a political boss in Pitts- burgh. Many read this as a sign that Cameron had selected a new lieutenant.2 Quay received the same message. Asked to interpret Cameron's action, Quay replied, "It means a fight for self-protection and self-preservation." 3 Quay's back- ground equipped him well for such a battle.

  • Vice President Garret A
    Connolly “I Make Politics My Recreation”: Vice President Garret A. Hobart and Nineteenth-Century Republican Business Politics Michael J. Connolly1 Abstract Until recent decades, American vice presidents were relatively obscure, little-known men who had minimal impact upon the politics and policies of the administrations they served. On this ignominious list remains Garret A. Hobart (1844-1899) of Paterson, New Jersey, vice president under President William McKinley, a businessman-turned- politician who died before his term expired. A closer look, however, reveals a man dubbed “assistant President” by contemporary journalists, an influential policymaker who had the president‟s confidence, and a lawyer-entrepreneur who shrewdly maneuvered the shadowy line between business and politics. At times, his pursuit of personal fortune in the railroad and water supply businesses veered into suspicions of graft and illegality. Far from being a nineteenth-century nonentity, Hobart was a central voice for the Republican Party during the 1890s, and one of the more influential and controversial vice presidents in American history. When Garret A. Hobart was nominated for vice-president on the 1896 Republican ticket with William McKinley of Ohio, many voters wondered “Who is Hobart?” Outside New Jersey and New York City, he was an unknown political commodity. But the unassuming businessman from northern New Jersey did not remain a mystery. When questioned about the issues of the campaign, he forthrightly proclaimed, “The silver heresy is the only issue

Smith 2010 All Rights Reserved. Acknowledgments Distilling years of work, assistance, and thanks into a few pages of acknowledgements is difficult. My immediate gratitude is to the Department of History at the University of Oklahoma and my dissertation advisor, Dr. Warren Metcalf, whose advice and critique struck the right balance of honesty and humor. Dr. Metcalf gave me ample room to pursue my own ideas in this process and enough support to realize I could be a serviceable scholar. I must also thank Albert Hurtado, Robert Griswold, Peter Cahn, Fay Yarbrough, and Gus Palmer, all of whom served on my committee at various points and offered their time and comments in order to make this a better research project and dissertation. I would especially like to thank Elyssa Faison for her subtle influence throughout this dissertation. I may have been far removed from her own field of study, but she provided an excellent example as both a scholar and teacher. That I write this of her even after she made me read Homi Bhabha in seminar is a sign of my respect for her as an individual.

  • “Blocks of Five” Dudley, Cartoon Celebrity
    “Blocks of Five” Dudley, Cartoon Celebrity Roger A. Fixher* Surely one of the lesser lights of Indiana’s political tradition, William Wade Dudley rescued himself from complete obscurity by one momentous indiscretion. In October, 1888, Dudley wrote a cir- cular letter to Indiana Republican leaders urging them to carry the state for native son Benjamin Harrison by organizing “floaters” (nonaligned individuals available to the highest bidder), into “blocks of five.” The ill-advised letter provoked an ugly controversy during the closing days of the election and introduced into the ver- nacular the terms floater and blocks of five as synonyms for elec- toral sleaze. For a season Dudley was an albatross for Harrison and the Republicans and a celebrated bogeyman among opposition Democrats. In one forum in particular, the cartoon art of Joseph Keppler’s Puck, Dudley became a reigning symbol of Republican iniquity, and for the duration of Harrison’s term Dudley, blocks of five, and floaters served as ubiquitous reminders of his tainted vic- tory over Keppler favorite Grover Cleveland. Born in Vermont on August 27, 1842, Dudley attended Phil- lips Academy and Russell’s Collegiate Institute, New Haven, and settled in 1860 in Richmond, Indiana. Commissioned a captain in Indiana’s Nineteenth Volunteer Regiment in 1861, Dudley led troops in combat at Second Manassas, South Mountain, Antietam, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg, where an injury required ampu- tation of his right leg. After serving out the war as an army judge- advocate, Colonel Dudley came home to Richmond to practice law and work as a clerk of court and as a cashier of the Richmond Savings Bank.

  • Pennsylvania's Little New Deal
    PENNSYLVANIA'S LITTLE NEW DEAL By RICHARD C. KELLER* A S PENNSYLVANIA entered the fourth decade of the Atwentieth century, conditions of industrial feudalism still existed within the Commonwealth. Private industrial police kept the workers docile both on and off company property; the existence of the company town frequently prevented the laborer from en- jo)inlg his leisure hours free from the watchful eye of his economic masters; women worked up to 54 and fourteen-year-old children lip to 51 hours per week for incredibly low pay; union labor received few rights and little protection from legislatures sub- inissive to the industrial interests.' These same interests dominated the political life of the Key- stone State. The Republican political machines of Simon Cameron, Matthew Quay, and Boies Penrose, allied with the barons of industrvy had controlled the state since the Civil War, but the leath of Senator Penrose on the last day of 1921 resulted in a struggle for control, since he had trained no successor. Three centers of power now emerged in Pennsylvania. In Philadelphia the Vare brothers had built a political machine through an alliance with banking and industrial interests, including W. W. Atter- burr of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and they hoped to win control of the state.2 Outside the two largest cities of the Commonwealth, the strongest figure in the Republican party was Joseph R. Grundy, who was, in the words of Penrose, "the best money collector and the worst politician since Julius Caesar."' His position as head of Dr.l Keller teaches history and government at Millersville State College.

  • Walter Q. Gresham' by MARTHAALICE TYNER Walter Quintin Gresham Was Born on March 17, 1832, in a Farmhouse Near Lanesville, Harrison County, Indiana
    Walter Q. Gresham' By MARTHAALICE TYNER Walter Quintin Gresham was born on March 17, 1832, in a farmhouse near Lanesville, Harrison County, Indiana. His grandfather, George Gresham, whose ancestry can be traced back for many generations through a well known English family, moved his family from Kentucky to Indiana Territory. Mary Pennington, who married George Gresham, was a sister of Dennis Pennington.2 William Gresham, the father of Wal- ter, who was born in Kentucky in 1802, was but seven years old when the family crossed the Ohio. He married Sarah Davis in 1825. While serving as sheriff of Harrison County, he was killed by an outlaw. On the mother fell the responsibil- ity of rearing the five children. Walter, who was next to the youngest, was not quite two years old when the tragic death of his father occurred. The Gresham family were not overcome by misfortune. The boys developed into strong, healthful, young men of char- acter and courage. A schoolhouse stood in the edge of a wooded area on the Gresham farm, and here the children at- tended school during the winter months of each year. Walter seems to have made the most of his opportunities while at- tending this country school in the Gresham woods. Later he completed a two-year course in the Corydon Seminary, while serving as an assistant first to the auditor and then to the clerk of Harrison County. He taught his first term of school before he was sixteen, and another term three years later. The next year, 1851-1852,he was a student at Indiana University.
