    The DAVID WINGATE Collection of United States Stamps Auction Preview AUCTION GALLERIES, INC. The DAVID WINGATE Collection of United States Stamps any stamp collectors follow a common path in forming collections: M find an album, locate sources for stamps, and fill the spaces as much as opportunities or one’s budget will allow. In rare cases, a collector follows a trajectory that rises above the crowd. David Wingate was that rare and exceptional collector. Gifted with an eye for aesthetic quality in both art and philately, Mr. Wingate applied his talent and resources to the formation of a United States stamp collection that is extraordinary for its completeness, quality and depth. A gentleman of humble demeanor, Mr. Wingate was a quiet, yet forceful presence in stamp auctions during the late 1990s and early years of the 21st century. He started by filling spaces, but quickly evolved into a knowledgeable and passionate collector who created his own computer-designed pages to accommodate the varieties and multiples that appealed to his visual sense and appreciation of rarity. Mr. Wingate passed away in 2011 at the age of 90. The collection he formed will be offered by Siegel Auction Galleries in April 2018, and its importance cannot be overstated. Many of the greatest rarities and outstanding multiples in United States philately are found in the Wingate collection. The Inverted Jenny Position 86 shows traces of the carmine vertical centerline at left, has original gum (with slight glazed spot) and is beautifully centered—the Wingate stamp is ex Colonel Green, Amos Eno and Dr.

  • “The Wisest Radical of All”: Reelection (September-November, 1864)
    Chapter Thirty-four “The Wisest Radical of All”: Reelection (September-November, 1864) The political tide began turning on August 29 when the Democratic national convention met in Chicago, where Peace Democrats were unwilling to remain in the background. Lincoln had accurately predicted that the delegates “must nominate a Peace Democrat on a war platform, or a War Democrat on a peace platform; and I personally can’t say that I care much which they do.”1 The convention took the latter course, nominating George McClellan for president and adopting a platform which declared the war “four years of failure” and demanded that “immediate efforts be made for a cessation of hostilities, with a view to an ultimate convention of the states, or other peaceable means, to the end that, at the earliest practicable moment, peace may be restored on the basis of the Federal Union of the States.” This “peace plank,” the handiwork of Clement L. Vallandigham, implicitly rejected Lincoln’s Niagara Manifesto; the Democrats would require only union as a condition for peace, whereas the Republicans insisted on union and emancipation. The platform also called for the restoration of “the rights of the States 1 Noah Brooks, Washington, D.C., in Lincoln’s Time, ed. Herbert Mitgang (1895; Chicago: Quadrangle Books, 1971), 164. 3726 Michael Burlingame – Abraham Lincoln: A Life – Vol. 2, Chapter 34 unimpaired,” which implied the preservation of slavery.2 As McClellan’s running mate, the delegates chose Ohio Congressman George Pendleton, a thoroughgoing opponent of the war who had voted against supplies for the army. As the nation waited day after day to see how McClellan would react, Lincoln wittily opined that Little Mac “must be intrenching.” More seriously, he added that the general “doesn’t know yet whether he will accept or decline.

The land had been inhabited by Native Americans for several thousand years. The Algonquian, Iroquoian, Siouan all resided along the Central Atlantic coast. After the discovery of the New World, England, the Dutch Republic, France, Portugal, and Spain all attempted to establish New World colonies. A Spanish exploration party had come to the lower Chesapeake Bay region of Virginia about 1560 and met the Native Americans living on the Virginia Peninsula.

    PRESIDENTIAL RESPONSIVENESS TO PUBLIC OPINION A Dissertation by JUSTIN SCOTT VAUGHN Submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2007 Major Subject: Political Science PRESIDENTIAL RESPONSIVENESS TO PUBLIC OPINION A Dissertation by JUSTIN SCOTT VAUGHN Submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Approved by: Chair of Committee, George C. Edwards III Committee Members, Kim Q. Hill Paul M. Kellstedt Cary J. Nederman Kurt Ritter Head of Department, Patricia Hurley December 2007 Major Subject: Political Science iii ABSTRACT Presidential Responsiveness to Public Opinion. (December 2007) Justin Scott Vaughn, B.S., Illinois State University; M.S., Illinois State University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. George C. Edwards III In this dissertation, I examine the determinants of presidential responsiveness to public opinion, employing a theory of context and venue that explains why presidents are more responsive at some times and in certain policy making venues than at other times and in other venues. To test this theory, I create a new direct measure of presidential responsiveness to public opinion, a measure that quantifies the ideological distance between presidential policy positions and public policy preferences. I develop versions of this measure in four important venues of the modern presidency: relations with the U.S. Congress and the U.S. Supreme Court, the unilateral administrative presidency, and the president’s rhetoric. Using time-series regression techniques, I analyze the influence that factors such as political context, electoral context, institutional context, and venue visibility have on the dynamics of presidential responsiveness scores.

  • Presidential Support and the Political Use of Presidential
    37? Atau **>< V72/ PRESIDENTIAL SUPPORT AND THE POLITICAL USE OF PRESIDENTIAL CAPITAL DISSERTATION Presented to the Graduate Council of the University of North Texas in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By Michael E. Ault, B.A., M.P. Denton, Texas December, 1998 Ault, E. Michael, Presidential Support and the Political Use of Presidential Capital. Doctor of Philosophy (Political Science), December 1998, 125 pp., 8 tables, 7 figures, references. This research incorporates a decision-making theory which defines the linkage between the public, the media, the president and the Congress. Specifically, I argue that the public holds widely shared domestic and international goals and responds to a number of external cues provided by the president and the media in its evaluation of presidential policies. Although most studies examine overall presidential popularity, there are important differences in the public's evaluations of the president's handling of foreign and domestic policies. Additionally, I am concerned with how the Congress responds to these specific policy evaluations, the president's public activities, and the electoral policy goals of its members when determining whether or not to support the president.
