  • University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • Ellen Dorcas Harn Manuscript
    ELLEN DORCAS HARN MANUSCRIPT INTRODUCTION Kenesaw, Neb., July 22, 1901 In order to discover the earliest trace of the Harn family we have endeavored to arrive at the primary meaning of the word Harn, or its root. Webster in his definition of the word harness had this to say: I. W. "harness, from harn, that is closely fitted". After giving the primary spelling of the word in different languages adds that; "The primary sense is to fit, prepare, or put on"; and in different languages it signifies not only harness, but furniture and utensils.” For the word harns in its plural sense then some authority gives as its definition "Brains" signifying, perhaps, furniture, utensils. The word harns in Scotland is used in the sense of brains. Mr. David D. Shearer, an intelligent and widely read Scotsman from near Edinborough, Scotland & a brother of Alexander Shearer, the eminent gardener of the Marquis of Tweedale, gave me this explanation of the commoner use of the word harn: "When a Scotsman gets angry at another Scotsman the angry man will draw his fist and say; I'll knock out your harns', meaning his brains." Webster, also, says that the word harns, in Scotland means brains. Burns in his poem, Tam O'Shanter, has this couplet: “Her cuty sark O'Paisly harn That, while a lassies, she had worn," And a footnote explains that the word harn means a coarse linen. Mr. Joseph E. Leighton, of Harnham, Belsay, Newcastle-on-Tyne England, writes me that "Harnham is a hamlet and the name is old Saxon for corner house.

  • Republicans and Black Suffrage in Reconstruction Ohio, 1865-1867
    "HAVING GIVEN THEM BAYONETS, WE WILL NOT WITHHOLD THE BALLOT"- REPUBLICANS AND BLACK SUFFRAGE IN RECONSTRUCTION OHIO, 1865-1867 Jacob T. Mach A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2020 Committee: Scott Martin, Advisor Michael Brooks © 2020 Jacob T. Mach All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Scott Martin, Advisor Ohio politics during the Reconstruction era has received sparse treatment by historians. Not until 1970 with Felice Bonadio’s North of Reconstruction was there a monograph solely dedicated to Ohio politics during the era. Robert Sawrey wrote his Dubious Victory in 1992, but still the historiography on Reconstruction Ohio remains dramatically underdeveloped. In Ohio, the question of African American suffrage was the single most divisive issue facing politicians during the era. Radical Republicans brought a referendum before the people of Ohio in 1867 to change the state constitution to protect the suffrage rights of both white and black males above the age of 21. The measure failed 216,987 votes (45.9 percent) to 255,340 (54.1 percent) votes. The failure of the suffrage amendment disheartened many Radical Republicans across Ohio and the rest of the North, yet Ohio Republicans managed to elicit more support for suffrage than most states in the North. Such support did not arise randomly; it intentionally developed over a three-year period beginning after the Civil War. Two primary research questions drive this project:

  • The Decline of the Ohio Know-Nothings, 1856-1860 by Johnb
    The Decline of the Ohio Know-Nothings, 1856-1860 by JohnB. Weaver he 1850's witnessed the dramatic rise and fall of the Know-Nothing T party in American politics. This nativist movement grew out of Protes- tant alarm over Irish and German Catholic immigration in the 1840's and 1850's, and reached the peak of its political power in 1854 and 1855. Know- Nothings condemned both Whigs and Democrats for being too tolerant of this immigration and too eager to seek immigrant support at the polls. How- ever, the Know-Nothings split apart in 1856 over the issue of slavery and thereafter rapidly declined. In the North the Republican party absorbed most of the antislavery Know-Nothings, thus giving the party a certain nativist tinge.1 Those Know-Nothings in the North who did not become Republicans faced a politically bleak future. In Ohio these nativists struggled to keep a separate organization alive, but with little success. As early as 1855 the majority of Ohio's Know-Nothings had entered into an alliance with the Republicans. In that year the Republicans nominated eight Know-Nothings to run for state offices along with Salmon Portland Chase, the party's candidate for governor. Chase himself was not a Know- Nothing and refused to endorse the nativist position but he accepted the Know-Nothings on the ticket as the price for a politically valuable alliance. Those Know-Nothings who detested Chase for his antislavery radicalism and who disliked the nature of the alliance nominated their own candidate for governor, Allen Trimble, who came in a distant third in the three-way race that Chase won.2 The competition in 1855 between Chase and Trimble for Know-Nothing support foreshadowed the Know-Nothing split in 1856.

  • Civil Society and the Collaborative County 3 26 Final
    Civil Society and the Collaborative County Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Joseph Trapp Campbell, M.S., B.A. Graduate Program in Rural Sociology The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Linda Lobao, Advisor Tom Koontz Jeff Sharp Copyright by Joseph Trapp Campbell 2013 Abstract Socioeconomic forces (e.g. mobile capital, domestic manufacturing decline, and austerity measures) place stress upon U.S. local governments’ efforts to provide public services. County governments operate in a context where they must meet federal and state devolutionary responsibilities while addressing service demands among their citizenry, stimulate their own economic development portfolio, and mediate between a complex local system of jurisdictions and private and public entities. Scholars and public policy practitioners advocate “intergovernmental collaboration” between county and other local governments as a necessary step towards effective public service provision to positively adapt to the socioeconomic forces listed above. At the same time, a wealth of research emerged over the past two decades highlighting the strong relationship between an engaged and robust civil society and governmental performance. The ability for “bridging” organizations to unify multiple, and at time conflicting, facets of civil society onto a similar platform for economic development planning and implementation is one mechanism driving this relationship. Effective governance in the early twenty-first century requires civil society working constructively with local public officials to engage in shared economic development services and activities. This study, utilizing a mixed quantitative and qualitative approach, investigates the role that civil society plays in the process of intergovernmental collaboration at the county level.
