    Rothermere American Institute 2016-17 Travel Awards Recipients’ Reports POSTGRADUATE AWARDS ROBIN ADAMS, ST PETER’S COLLEGE D.Phil. Economic & Social History Award in support of archival research in New York My research trip to New York in January 2017 was indispensable to my DPhil thesis and, without the financial assistance gratefully received from the Rothermere Institute, the extent the research undertaken would have been greatly curtailed. A study of the funding of Irish Republican Government during the Irish War of Independence (1919-21) would have been incomplete without reference to funds received from America, and a satisfactory analysis of this source of finance would have been impossible without a research trip to New York. My research in began in the archives of the New York Public Library, where I sifted through the personal papers of Frank P. Walsh, a leading figure in the American labour movement who was heavily involved in lobbying for official recognition of the Irish Republic in 1919-21. I also read through the papers of Senator William Bourke Cockran, a New York senator who was a key figure in fundraising for the moderate Irish nationalist cause, and then the radical Irish nationalist cause. In addition, I gained access to the papers of J.C. Walsh, a Canadian journalist who played a pivotal role in fundraising for the nascent and not-yet-recognised Irish Republic, and William Maloney, another advocate of the Irish republican cause in America, who was suspected by some of being a spy for the British government. All of these collections were information rich from both an organisational and a personal point of view, enabling a far deeper understanding of the personalities involved and the political dynamics at play.

The argument concerned the nature of money. The question itself, the nature of money, is multifaceted, but an argument is experienced as two-sided. The basic conflict was between advocates of gold and silver: the former clinging to the gold standard, the latter agitating for bimetallism and the free coinage of silver. The two sides conducted the argument in two interrelated languages: politics and economics. Law was a central component for each. Looking back with the perspective of an intervening century, it is tempting to ask who had the better argument, who was right, who understood more deeply the phenomenon

  • William F. Harrity and National Democratic Politics in the Cleveland Era Leonard Schlup Akron, Ohio
    236 William F. Harrity and National Democratic Politics in the Cleveland Era Leonard Schlup Akron, Ohio William F. Harrity (1850-1912), chairman of the Democratic National Committee from 1892 to 1896, was a prominent public figure in Pennsylvania dur- ing the late nineteenth century. He practiced politics on the national level during a generation of change that transformed the political, economic, and social order of the United States. A native of Delaware, Harrity relocated to Philadelphia in 1867. He graduated from LaSalle College, where he also taught Latin and Mathematics until 1871. Harrity then studied law with Lewis C. Cassidy and Pierce Archer, two prominent Philadelphia lawyers. Upon his admission to the bar in 1873, Harrity worked as one the firm's assistants until 1879, when he formed a partnership with James G. Gorman, who later secured a judgeship on the court of common pleas of Philadel- phia. Although he gained recognition as a competent lawyer, Harrity quickly developed interests in business and politics. He was a capable businessman and politician known for his modesty, personal charm, and good humor.' Harrity's involvement with Democratic politics in Pennsylvania spanned nearly two decades. Living in a state dominated by an efficient Republican political machine that had been constructed by Simon Cameron and refined by Matthew S. Quay and Boies Penrose, Harrity functioned as a member of the loyal opposi- tion.2 Because of their stands on antiunionism and antiprotectionism, Democrats lacked strong support from labor and business groups in the state. Moreover, with their predilections for factions, Pennsylvania Democrats in the post-Civil War period formed distinct groups, including those led by Senator William A.Wallace, who battled for control of the Democratic organization against Samuel J.

Dissertations (2009 -). Paper 195. http://epublications.marquette.edu/dissertations_mu/195 IRISH-AMERICAN IDENTITY, MEMORY, AND AMERICANISM DURING THE ERAS OF THE CIVIL WAR AND FIRST WORLD WAR by John A. French A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin May 2012 ABSTRACT IRISH-AMERICAN IDENTITY, MEMORY, AND AMERICANISM DURING THE ERAS OF THE CIVIL WAR AND FIRST WORLD WAR John A. French Marquette University, 2012 This dissertation connects the well-documented history of the repression of wartime dissent in the United States with the complex relationship between Americans and immigrants. The study focuses specifically on Irish-American efforts to insulate themselves from accusations of unpatriotic and un-American attitudes and behaviors by highlighting their uniquely American contributions and principles. The Civil War and First World War eras provide ideal time frames for such an evaluation. Marked by xenophobia and institutionalized nativism, each era found many Americans and government officials accusing the American Irish of disloyalty because of their opposition to the prosecution of the war. In order to justify their positions, Irish- American leaders (prominent newspaper editors, historians, and those involved in Irish- American nationalistic organizations who consciously sought to sway both mainstream American and Irish-American sensibilities) propagated the notion that the American Irish were in fact the most American citizens.
