Home* The October, 1880 election for state officers was im- portant to the Democratic party in Indiana, and the Novem- ber, 1880 presidential election in the Hoosier State was doubly important to the national fortunes of the party. Yet the Democracy lost both of these political contests by narrow margins of less than 8,000 votes in a total count of approxi- mately 470,000.1 This occurred despite the fact that in early September of 1880 the state had appeared to key observers as safely Democratic.2 Why did these defeats materialize? Literate and vocal participants, as well as historians, have offered a myriad of explanations about the elements, issues, and mistakes which contributed to this debacle. Stress usually has been placed on national factors : e.g., the supposed political ineptitude of the Democratic presidential candidate, General Winfield Scott Hancock ; the unfortunate appearance of the phrase “a tariff for revenue only” in the party platform; the general disorganization and anarchy within the party following the loss of the disputed election of 1876; and the *Albert V.

FIJI HISTORY and LORE in INDIANA (Compiled by Towner Blackstock (Davidson 1994) and Ed Gabe (Hanover 1990) for State Day
FIJI HISTORY AND LORE IN INDIANA (Compiled by Towner Blackstock (Davidson 1994) and Ed Gabe (Hanover 1990) for State Day. Note that this is NOT a comprehensive list of all of the wonderful accomplishments and noted brothers in Indiana, but rather a “quick glimpse” into some fun and interesting facts.) “State Day” in Indiana: Records suggest that as early as 1867, brothers from chapters in Indiana met for annual banquets, and those subsequently grew into annual meetings (referenced as early as 1880), with the venue and host chapter moving throughout the State. In 1897, the event was situated in Indianapolis, where it has been since. Activities at State Day have included everything from debates, singing contests, athletic competitions, banquets, leadership training, dances (yes, with dates), pledge education, and a variety of awards, not to mention the camaraderie of Hoosier Phi Gams! Indianapolis Prominence: Indianapolis is the heart of the "Purple Valley" of Indiana. Thousands of Phi Gams live in the metro area, and it is home to the Beta Graduate Chapter, originally chartered June 2nd, 1868. Fiji brothers from chapters nationwide can be found in numerous leadership roles in businesses, civic organizations, politics, and churches in the city. Indianapolis has hosted five conventions and Ekklesiai (details below). And if records are correct, since 1897 Indianapolis has been the meeting place for “Indiana State Day,” one of the longest running state gatherings of brothers in the entire International Fraternity, hosted and organized by the Beta Graduate Chapter. A few interesting Fiji places in the city include: Crown Hill Cemetery, burial site of: Thomas Riley Marshall (Wabash 1873), Indiana Governor and US Vice President, and Charles Warren Fairbanks (Ohio Wesleyan 1879), US Senator from Indiana and US Vice President. -

Conclusion Chapter 1 Introduction The U.S. House of Representatives is organized by whichever political party holds a majority of its seats. This fact has consequences. Controlling the organization of the House means that the majority party decides who will preside over its deliberations, who will set the policy agenda, and who will dominate the workhorses of the chamber, the standing committees. Organizing the House does not mean the majority party will win all battles, but it does give the party a leg-up in virtually any question that gets considered by that body. There is nothing in the Constitution that rests the organization of the House in the hands of the majority party. The practice has evolved over the past two centuries, to the point that party organization of the House has become routinized. -
Pastor in Politics: the Congressional Career of the Reverend Gilbert De La Matyr Richard M
Pastor in Politics: The Congressional Career of the Reverend Gilbert De La Matyr Richard M. Doolen* Like other middlewestern states, Indiana was deeply affected by the controversy over currency and financial reform in the 1870s. The issues transcended traditional party lines, for neither of the two major parties was immune to the discord generated by the conflict over the role of paper money as opposed to specie, the powers of the National Banking System, and questions regarding the public debt. Ultimately a substantial number of the reformers repudiated the established parties to organize the Independent or Greenback party. The degree of success enjoyed by the new movement varied greatly from one state to another, but it appears to have reached its peak in most sections of the country in the elections of 1878. In Indiana the Greenbackers polled 9.5 per cent of the total vote for the state ticket in 1878 and held the balance of power between the Republican and Democratic parties in the General Assembly. More importantly, they sent the Reverend Gilbert De La Matyr, a Methodist clergyman, to Washington as one of the handful of currency reformers comprising the Gqeenback delegation in the United States C0ngress.l W$thin the context of his conception of Christian citizenship, it was eqitirely logical for De La Matyr to seek to extend his activities beyotid those customarily associated with a parish ministry. In the process he obtained a wider forum for the dissemination of that special combination of social, political, and theological ideas that con- stituted his point of view. -

INDIANA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY Volume XLII June, 1946 No. 2 The Money Question in Indiana Politics 1865-1890” WILLIAM G. CARLETON Kansas, Nebraska, the Dakotas, and other trans-Mis- sissippian states experienced in the 1890’s an agrarian cru- sade of tremendous proportions. Indiana went through a similar period of agrarian radicalism in the 1870’s. In both cases demands for monetary inflation loomed large in the program of economic amelioration. It is the purpose of this article to trace one aspect of agrarian radicalism in Indiana -the history of the inflation movement in the state during the 1870’s and the 1880’s. This movement in Indiana never became as evangelical or as spectacular as the free-silver agitation of the 1890’s in the West and the South, but it was persistent and in many ways similar. And like the later and more colorful movement, it largely failed and was not able to check the relentless trend toward an industrial and a conservative economy. The legal tender outstanding in 1865 amounted to $433, 000,000, and $145 of it exchanged for $100 in gold. The contraction bill advocated in April, 1866, by Hugh McCul- loch was passed by both houses of Congress and became a. law. This act authorized thle retirement of $10,000,000 of the legal tender within six months and after that $4,000,000 a month. The issue thus presented was as yet little under- stood by the voters of Indiana, and the positions taken by the various members of the Indiana delegation in Congress were not clarifying.
