  • The Democratic Party and the Transformation of American Conservatism, 1847-1860
    PRESERVING THE WHITE MAN’S REPUBLIC: THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF AMERICAN CONSERVATISM, 1847-1860 Joshua A. Lynn A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: Harry L. Watson William L. Barney Laura F. Edwards Joseph T. Glatthaar Michael Lienesch © 2015 Joshua A. Lynn ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Joshua A. Lynn: Preserving the White Man’s Republic: The Democratic Party and the Transformation of American Conservatism, 1847-1860 (Under the direction of Harry L. Watson) In the late 1840s and 1850s, the American Democratic party redefined itself as “conservative.” Yet Democrats’ preexisting dedication to majoritarian democracy, liberal individualism, and white supremacy had not changed. Democrats believed that “fanatical” reformers, who opposed slavery and advanced the rights of African Americans and women, imperiled the white man’s republic they had crafted in the early 1800s. There were no more abstract notions of freedom to boundlessly unfold; there was only the existing liberty of white men to conserve. Democrats therefore recast democracy, previously a progressive means to expand rights, as a way for local majorities to police racial and gender boundaries. In the process, they reinvigorated American conservatism by placing it on a foundation of majoritarian democracy. Empowering white men to democratically govern all other Americans, Democrats contended, would preserve their prerogatives. With the policy of “popular sovereignty,” for instance, Democrats left slavery’s expansion to territorial settlers’ democratic decision-making.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

  • Way We Were November 18, 2015 Thomas Kearns, More Than a Mine Owner Robert Gurss, Museum Volunteer Thomas Kearns May Be Remember
    Way We Were November 18, 2015 Thomas Kearns, More than a Mine Owner Robert Gurss, Museum volunteer Thomas Kearns may be remembered best in Park City as a wealthy mine owner (and namesake of an often clogged roadway). Less well known is his role as a U.S. Senator, newspaper publisher, and thorn in the side of Mormon Church hierarchy. Born in Ontario, Canada in 1862, and raised in Nebraska, Kearns arrived in Park City in 1883. He first worked as mucker in the mines and read geology books at night. Kearns and his partner, David Keith, established several extremely rich mine claims, providing the foundation of their Silver King Coalition Mine Company. Kearns became a millionaire before his 28th birthday. A Republican, Kearns' political career began with his election to the Park City Council in 1895. He was also a delegate to the Utah Constitutional Convention prior to statehood in 1896. At the time, U.S. Senators were elected by state legislatures rather than by popular vote and, in Utah, Mormon leaders could often dictate election results. However, in 1899, the legislature was deadlocked and adjourned without selecting a Senator. Two years later, the legislature tried again and elected Kearns. Though a Catholic, Kearns had the support of Lorenzo Snow, the president of the Mormon Church. Snow supported Kearns rather than Reed Smoot, a church apostle, to placate the national Republican Party, which had strong reservations about a Mormon Church official serving in Congress. There were later allegations that Kearns had gained Snow's support by agreeing to purchase and silence the then strongly anti-Mormon Salt Lake Tribune.

    1a United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit Utah Republican Party and Utah Democratic Party v. SPENCER J. COX, in his official capacity as Lieutenant Governor of Utah, Nos. 16-4091/16-4098 Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Utah (D.C. No. 2:16-CV-00038-DN) Marcus Mumford, Mumford Law, Salt Lake City, Utah, for Plaintiff-Appellant. David P. Billings, Fabian VanCott, Salt Lake City, Utah (Peter W. Billings and Charles A.

Green (Stanford E. Purser with him on the brief), Utah Attorney General’s Office, Salt Lake City, Utah, for Defendant-Appellee. Before TYMKOVICH, Chief Judge, EBEL, and LUCERO, Circuit Judges. 2a EBEL, Circuit Judge. These appeals are only the most recent volley in the spate of litigation that has dogged the Utah Elections Amendments Act of 2014, commonly known as SB54, since it was signed into law in March 2014. At issue here, SB54 reorganized the process for qualifying for a primary ballot in Utah, most importantly by providing an alternative signature- gathering path to the primary election ballot for candidates who are unable or unwilling to gain approval from the central party nominating conventions. Prior to the passage of SB54, the Utah Republican Party (“URP”) selected its candidates for primary elections exclusively through its state nominating convention, and it would prefer to continue to do so. In this litigation, the URP sued Utah Lieutenant Governor Spencer Cox in his official capacity (“the State”)1, alleging that two aspects of SB54 violate the URP’s freedom of association under the First Amendment, as applied to the States by the Fourteenth Amendment.
