  • Brief to the Ontario Citizens' Assembly on Electoral Reform Submitted By
    Brief to the Ontario Citizens’ Assembly on Electoral Reform Submitted by Communist Party of Canada (Ontario) 290A Danforth Avenue Toronto, ON M4K 1N6 Tel: 416-469-2446 Email: [email protected] January 2007 Mr Chair, Members of the Assembly: Thank you for this opportunity to discuss proposals for meaningful electoral reform in Ontario, and proportional representation in particular. First, we would like to introduce ourselves: The CPC (Ontario) is a registered political party in Ontario. We became a registered party in 1975 after a mass province wide campaign to collect 10,000 signatures of registered voters, each of whom agreed that the CPC (Ontario) should be registered, should have the right to continue to participate in provincial elections and in the electoral life of the province. In fact, the CPC has participated in the political life of this province since its birth in Guelph, Ontario in 1921. We are one of the oldest parties in Ontario, and in Canada. Until 1972, parties were not required to register provincially or federally; they simply put forward their policies and candidates following the requirements for nomination of candidates, which at that time were a nomination deposit, nomination signatures, and a financial accounting following the campaign. When provincial legislation was passed in the early 70s requiring political parties to register in order to participate in provincial election campaigns, the requirements for registration were that the party seeking registration either had to have members already elected to the Legislature; or had to collect the signatures of at least 10,000 qualified voters who supported that party’s registration.

  • Pennsylvania Magazine
    THE PENNSYLVANIA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY. VOL. XXXVIII. 1914. No. 3. CHAELES WILLSON PEALE, ARTIST— SOLDIER. BY HORACE WELLS SELLERS. Writing from Arlington House in August 1857, to Rembrandt Peale the son, George Washington Parke Curtis pays this tribute to the father:— "Honor to the memory of the Soldier Artist, who hung up his palette in the Spring, girded on his sword and fought a campaign in the War of Independence— then resumed his palette and painted the portraits of the general officers and without whose artistic labors we should not have had the likeness of the illustrious soldier (Greene) who was only second to him who was first of all." This reference to the artist's services during the Revolution recalls an interesting period in his life but little known to his biographers and overshadowed per- haps by his later and better remembered activities. It is interesting to note that the career of Charles Willson Peale as a portrait painter had its beginning coincident with the events leading directly to the War, for it was about the year 1765 that he determined to make the art of painting his profession and finally abandoned the occupation on which, until then, he de- pended for a livelihood. VOL. XXXVIII.—17 257 258 Charles Willson Peale, Artist—Soldier. The death of his father in 1750, had left his family in reduced circumstances and four years later, at the age of thirteen, young Peale was apprenticed to one Nathan Waters, a saddler at Annapolis. In his auto- biography* he dwells at length upon his early experi- ences, and it appears that in return for special diligence and attention to his master's interests the term of his indenture was shortened, thus enabling him, at the age of twenty, to gain his freedom.

  • Revolutionary Mail Bag Governor Thomas Sim Lee's Correspondence 1779 -1782 from Original Pencil Drawing Hy Robert S
    REVOLUTIONARY MAIL BAG GOVERNOR THOMAS SIM LEE'S CORRESPONDENCE 1779 -1782 FROM ORIGINAL PENCIL DRAWING HY ROBERT S. PEABODY, IN POSSESSION OE AUTHOR. REVOLUTIONARY MAIL BAG: GOVERNOR THOMAS SIM LEE'S CORRESPONDENCE, 1779-1782 Edited by HELEN LEE PEABODY HE contents of a chest of several hundred unpublished letters T and papers, belonging to Thomas Sim Lee, Governor of Maryland during the American Revolution, form the basis of the following pages.1 The chest, containing these letters and private papers, together with the rest of his personal possessions, was inherited by his youngest son, John Lee, the only unmarried child still living with his father at the time of his death. John Lee, my grandfather, left his inheritance, the old family mansion, " Needwood," in Frederick County, and all it contained, to my father, Charles Carroll Lee. In this manner the chest of letters descended to the present generation. 1 There is no life of Lee. Standard accounts are to be found in the Dictionary of American Biography, XI, 132, and H.E. Buchholz, Governors of Maryland (Baltimore, 1908), pp. 9-13. 1 2 MARYLAND HISTORICAL MAGAZINE The papers—designated hereafter as the T. S. Lee Collection— when found, comprised over a thousand items. The papers were arranged in packages, tied with tape, and tabulated, which facili­ tated the onerous task of sorting and reading. Many had to be laid aside, as totally unsuited to a compilation of this kind. These comprised invoices, bills of lading, acknowledgements by London firms of hogsheads of tobacco received, orders for furniture, clothing, household utensils—all, in short, that made up the inter­ change of life between our Colonial ancestors and British mer­ chants.
