His loneliness, his recurring financial difficulties, his legal problems, and a host of other worries convinced Murat Halstead on this New Year's Eve that his life was at an end. He seemed to realize that, taken from any point of view, his life was basically one of the nineteenth century, not of the twentieth. Through his forceful personal style of journalism, Halstead had made the Cincinnati Commercial into one of the leading newspapers of the United States. Now it and his fortune were gone, the result of a struggle with the McLean family and their Enquirer— a struggle between the personal journalism of the editorial room and the business journalism of the count­ ing room. A power in Ohio political circles, a friend of Republican gov­ ernors, senators, and presidents, he had ventured into officeholding only once, and this had also brought the centuries into conflict and Halstead defeat. He was nominated as minister to Germany by Benjamin Harrison, but his editorial denouncements of corruption in senatorial elections re­ sulted in the Senate's failure to confirm him. Turning from newspaper and political life to the authorship of books on current affairs and 1 2 biography he seemed to meet success. His The Illustrious Life of William McKinley sold three-quarters of a million copies and established the rec­ ord for the greatest number of books ever sold by one author in the same length of time. Yet instead of recouping the lost Halstead fortune, the book only brought legal difficulties, and as a result, little financial return. Again the centuries had come into conflict, and the nineteenth- century author lost to twentieth-century business ethics. The world of the past century with its Ohio Republican presidents, many of whom had been friends of Halstead, ended with McKinley's assassina­ tion. While he was yet to see another Ohio Republican, and former Commer­ cial legal reporter, nominated for president, Halstead's period of great influence and political power was over. To his friends he might talk of starting a new "penny" newspaper in Cincinnati, one selling for a cent or two, and appealing to the masses. Yet he knew that the age when a paper could be successfully inaugurated through its forceful editorship was forever over, and that high-speed presses, scores of reporteu, and almost unlimited financial resources were now needed for such a venture to be profitable. The Creeleys and the Halsteads had been passed over for the Pulitzers and the Hearsts. And on that New Year's Eve in 1901 Halstead felt that an age of integrity and honesty had been passed over for an age of money and power. Now in his seventy-second year, he recog­ nized that he had not been meant to be a millionaire^ He felt that he had had such a chance in the past, but instead had chosen what to him was the path of honor. If he did not have a fortune on which to live out his old age in comfort and security, at least he felt he had the peace of mind that comes to a man of public trust and influence who never betrayed 3 that trust and never sold that influence. As the great clocks of the city struck twelve and tue church bells pealed out their welcome to the new year, the lonely and dejected Halstead was consoled by the typically- nineteenth-century thought that while lacking fortune, he, nonetheless, retained his integrity,^ Murat Halstead was a child of nineteenth-century mid-western America and was typical of his era and place in almost every respect save his first name. This unusual name had been given him by his father, a colonel in the local Paddy's Bun unit of the Ohio State Militia, and a devotee of military history. "Colonel Griff," as young Murat's father was called by the people of Butler County, greatly admired Napoleon's commander of cavalry, Joachim Murat. During the 1820's Murat's two sons Game to the United States and the American newspapers published accounts of them and of their father's career, further arousing the colonel's interest in the Murat family. Thus when the colonel's first son was born his Christian name became that of the illustrious Murats. The birth of a first- son and heir was a great event in the life of any pioneer family, and the colonel celebrated Murat's birth in a manner that his frontier friends and neighbors greatly appreciated. Soon after the event the colonel's militia unit gathered for their an­ nual muster. As the exercises came to a close, a wagon was driven to the front of the lines, and the proud new father invited all present to ^urat Halstead Papers, Historical and Philosophical Society of Ohio (Cincinnati). The full citation for each title will be found only in its first use in.each chapter. come forward and do honor to his son by sampling the contents of the 2 barrel of corn whiskey in the back. The Halsteads were an ancient English family, the name Halsteede or Halsteade appearing in the Doomsday Book of the late eleventh century. The Halsteads in later periods were yeomen and tradesmen, with a few mer­ chants, churchmen, and naval officers, and even some members of the landed gentry. The first American Halstead was Henry who' migrated from England in 1651 and became the owner of a large slave plantation on or near the 3 site of what today is the city of Norfolk, Virginia. Murat's immediate family can be traced from John Halstead, his grandfather, who was b o m and reared in Currituck County, North Carolina, near the Virginia state line. John married Ruth Richardson, a young girl of similar southern gentry background. Their first home, in Orange County, North Carolina, was where Griffin, Murat's father (and their second child) was born in 1802. As was often typical of the era, John was unsatisfied with the land in North Carolina, and having heard stories of the blue grass land of Kentucky, decided to move West with his family. In the fashion of those early days, all the earthly possessions of the Halsteads were packed in a wagon and the long journey to the West and a new home began. A life of deprivation, of make-shift housing, or of long years of toil was not the destiny of the Halstead family, for packed in the center of the wagon was a keg of silver coins, the means of purchasing new land and farm equipment, and of building a house in this fertile area. The William L. Halstead Manuscript, Philosophical and Historical Society of Ohio, 17. ^Ibid,, 1 6 . 5 Blue Grass section surpassed all of John's expectations, but the land titles of Kentucky were in such confusion in 1810 that he was afraid to risk his small fortune and decided to cross the river into Ohio at Cin­ cinnati.^ The "Queen City" was then a miserable little village of a thousand people living in about three hundred log cabins sprawling along the hanks of the Ohio River. John was not impressed. He later said he would not have traded the silver in his keg in return for the whole town. Moving on to the area known as Paddy's Run in Butler County, he bought 381 5 acres at two and a half dollars an acre.

  • Daniel D. Pratt: Senator and Commissioner
    Daniel D. Pratt: Senator and Commissioner Joseph E. Holliday* The election of Daniel D. Pratt, of Logansport, to the United States Senate in January, 1869, to succeed Thomas A. Hendricks had come after a bitter internal struggle within the ranks of the Republican members of the Indiana General Assembly. The struggle was precipitated by James Hughes, of Bloomington, who hoped to win the honor, but it also uncovered a personal feud between Lieutenant Governor Will E. Cumback, an early favorite for the seat, and Governor Conrad Baker. Personal rivalries threatened party harmony, and after several caucuses were unable to reach an agreement, Pratt was presented as a compromise candidate. He had been his party’s nominee for a Senate seat in 1863, but the Republicans were then the minority party in the legislature. With a majority in 1869, however, the Republicans were able to carry his election. Pratt’s reputation in the state was not based upon office-holding ; he had held no important state office, and his only legislative experience before he went to Washington in 1869 was service in two terms of the general assembly. It was his character, his leadership in the legal profession in northern Indiana, and his loyal service as a campaigner that earned for him the esteem of many in his party. Daniel D. Pratt‘s experience in the United States Senate began with the inauguration of Ulysses S. Grant in March, 1869. Presiding over the Senate was Schuyler Colfax, another Hoosier, who had just been inaugurated vice-president of the United States. During the administration of President Andrew Johnson, the government had been subjected to severe stress and strain between the legislative and executive branches.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material 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.

  • The Founding of the NAACP National Association for the Advancement of Colored People 1
    The Founding of the NAACP National Association for the Advancement of Colored People 1 OVERVIEW "Call for the Lincoln Emancipation Conference in 1909," written by Oswald Garrison Villard, brought together the founders of what became the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). Sixty prominent African American and white leaders signed the manifesto, which is reproduced here. GUIDED READING As you read, consider the following questions: • Why is Abraham Lincoln mentioned in this manifesto? • Why is the North, as well as the South, at fault for the mistreatment and enslavement of African Americans? o Discuss Means for Securing Political and Civil Equality for the Negro TThe celebration of the centennial of the birth of Abraham Lincoln widespread and grateful as it may be, will fail to justify itself if it takes no note and makes no recognition of the colored men and women to whom the great emancipator labored to assure freedom. Besides a day of rejoicing, Lincoln's birthday in 1909 should be one of taking stock of the nation's progress since 1865. How far has it lived up to the obligations imposed upon it by the Emancipation Proclamation? How far has it gone in assuring to each and every citizen, irrespective of color, the equality of opportunity and equality before the law, which underlie our American institutions and are guaranteed by the Constitution? If Mr. Lincoln could revisit this country he would be disheartened by the nation's failure in this respect. He would learn that on January 1st, 1909, Georgia had rounded out a new oligarchy by disfranchising the negro after the manner of all the other Southern states.

A., M. S. ****** The Ohio State University 1960 Approved by /Adviser* School oC Fine and Applied Arts PREFACE In 1953, when the author was commissioned to assemble and catalogue the many paintings owned by the Ohio Historical Society, it quickly became apparent that published reference works on early mid- western painters were sadly lacking. At that time the only source books were the standard biographical indexes of American artists, such as Mallett's Index of Artists and Mantle Fielding's Dictionary of Amer­ ican Painters. Sculptors and Engravers. The mimeographed WPA Histori­ cal Survey American Portrait Inventory (1440 Early American Portrait Artists I6b3-1860) furnished a valuable research precedent, which has since been developed and published by the New York Historical Society as the Dictionary of Artists in America 1564-1860. While this last is a milestone in research in American art history, the magnitude of its scope has resulted in incomplete coverage of many locales, especially in the Middlewest where source material is both scarce and scattered. The only book dealing exclusively with the Ohio scene is Edna Marie Clark's Ohio Art and Artists, which was published in 1932.
