Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract This thesis will prove that the Montreal reform movement arose out of a desire of the richer wards to control municipal politics. The poorer wards received most of the public works because they were organized into a political machine. Calling for an end to dishonesty and extravagance, the reform movement took on a party form. However after the leader of the machine retired from municipal politics, the movement lost its momentum. The reform movement eventually became identified as an anti-trust movement. The gas, electricity, and tramway utilities had usually obtained any contracts they wished, but the reformers put an end to this.

  • Our Brothers Across the Ocean?
    Our Brothers Across the Ocean? Unionist Diplomacy, the Lansdowne Foreign Office, and the Anglo-American 'Special Relationship', 1900-1905 BY Iestyn Michael Adams Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of PhD. The University of Leeds Department of History February 2002 The candidate confirms that the work submitted is his own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS During the conception and preparation of this thesis, I have received valuable assistance from my postgraduate supervisor, Dr. Keith Wilson, who has offered me encouragement and guidance throughout the last four years. He clearly understood my goals and interests, and has frequently given me much needed advice. Without his help, needless to say, this book would not exist I am also indebted to the staff of the Public Record Office, the British Library and the Brotherton Library of the University of Leeds. I particularly wish to thank Robert Smith - the Curator of the as yet uncatalogued Lansdowne collection in the British Library - who gave me his time, and who suggested further research avenues. On a personal note, I gratefully acknowledge the support from friends and family, especially my parents and Colette Maher. My final words of thanks go Andrea Myers, Peter Myers and Richie Lane who, together, helped to provide accomodation during my frequent trips to London. 1 ABSTRACT This study is intended as a detailed exploration of British diplomacy with the United States in the first five years of the twentieth century, that is, the period during which the Marquis of Lansdowne presided at the Foreign Office.

Banner Moments: The National Anthem in American Life Unlike the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, or even the American Flag, Francis Scott Key’s song “The Star-Spangled Banner” lacks a singular icon that defines it. Rather the song must be brought to life through performance. Individuals sing the anthem into a fleeting materiality, simultaneously constructing themselves as a community while inscribing the song ever more deeply into cultural memory. The artifacts in this exhibit capture material iterations of the song and thus record the crystallization of an American national consciousness.

The Auditors of the Town of Westport respectfully submit the following report of the financial condition of the town for the year ending, February i, 1901. We have examined the vouchers of the serveral depart- ments of the treasury and also those of the collector of taxes finding their accounts correct. In every case where bills were entered in the wrong department we have caused them to be entered in their proper place. John C. Macomber who retired from office last March » had faithfully served the town as treasurer and collector of taxes for fifteen years in succession and declining a further reelection retired from office, with the respect ot all citizens, irrespective of party, and was succeeded by Cortez Allen, who had held the office a number of years ago. On account of a vote passed at the annual meeting iri March, the auditors were refused authority to transfer unappropriated money to balance departments wherein there might be a deficit. The consequence was that the collector not being able to collect enough tax to equal the appropriations, the auditors have been obliged to balance nearly all of the departments by amounts due from uncollected taxes, thereby leaving the various departments without any funds to pay bills against the town.

  • “This Cemetery Is a Treacherous Place”. the Appropriation of Political, Cultural and Class Ownership of Glasnevin Cemetery, 1832 to 1909
    Studi irlandesi. A Journal of Irish Studies, n. 9 (2019), pp. 251-270 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.13128/SIJIS-2239-3978-25516 “This cemetery is a treacherous place”. The Appropriation of Political, Cultural and Class Ownership of Glasnevin Cemetery, 1832 to 1909 Patrick Callan Trinity College Dublin (<[email protected]>) Abstract: Dublin’s Glasnevin Cemetery became a focus of nationalist com- memoration after 1832. The Irish diaspora in America celebrated it as the resting place of nationalist heroes, including Parnell, O’Connell and others linked with Irish Catholicity or culture. American news- papers reported on commemorations for the Manchester Martyrs and Parnell. The Dublin Cemeteries Committee (DCC) managed the cemetery. In the early 1900s, the DCC lost a political battle over who should act as guardian of the republican tradition in a tiny ar- ea of political property within the cemetery. A critical sequence of Young Irelander or Fenian funerals (Charles Gavan Duffy, James Stephens, and John O’Leary) marked the transfer of authority from the DCC to advanced nationalists. The DCC’s public profile also suffered during the 1900s as Dublin city councillors severely criti- cised the fees charged for interments, rejecting the patriarchal au- thority of the cemetery’s governing body. Keywords: Commemoration, Diaspora, Glasnevin Cemetery, Parnell 1. Introduction Dublin’s Glasnevin Cemetery opened in 1832 as an ideal of the nine- teenth-century garden cemetery. Daniel O’Connell’s Catholic Association successfully worked to repeal the surviving Penal Laws against Irish Catho- lics, leading to Catholic Emancipation in 1829. In part, the campaign had focused on the need for new regulations to allow for the establishment of Catholic cemeteries such as Glasnevin, formally known as Prospect Cem- etery.
