Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Model Mayor: Early Life, Congressional Career, and Triumphant Municipal Administration of Hon. Fernando Wood; Mayor of the City of New York; Presenting His Public Speeches and Messages, and the Principles on Which His Government Is Founded In this age of moral obtuseness, political corruption, and servile, cringing timidity of officials before vice and crime, it is cheering to know that there is occasionally one who, independently and fearlessly, wields the sceptre of power which is placed in his hands, and, with full determination to conquer, grapples with every form of iniquity, making law, order and virtue triumphant. It is especially gratifying, in a great city like this, where lawlessness, immorality, bloodshed and murder have been almost unimpeded, to see a magistrate rise above the selfish desire to aggrandize himself, and scorn to pander to the corrupt desires of his constituents. The manner in which the lowest dregs of society in New York, composed in part of the scum of Europe's prisons and almshouses, have outraged all decency and good order, not only in the foulest dens of infamy and amid the darkness of midnight, but in our fashionable streets and in open daylight, calls for an outburst of indignation from every moral and religious man. It nails for more; it demands action - at the polls, by petition, and especially by sustaining those in. authority who dare to face the terrific storm which threatens to overwhelm them at every step they take in wrenching the dagger from the hand of the assassin, in rescuing female virtue from the grasp of the debauchee, and in endeavoring to disperse the dark and threatening clouds of moral contamination which almost entirely hide from our view the light of morality and religion.

Download or read book Fernando Wood written by Jerome Mushkat and published by Kent State University Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fernando Wood was one of the most controversial figures of nineteenth-century America. His fellow New Yorkers either respected or despised him, depending whether they considered his policies beneficial or harmful to their interests. The character revealed herein possessed some admirable qualities; high intelligence, sharp analytic skills, great capacity for hard work, and a clear talent to set his executive agenda. But equally evident are Wood's less admirable qualities; ruthless business practices, shoddy personal ethics, corrupt politics, dictatorial tendencies. What emerges is the story of a very complex person: a successful businessman, consummate politician, resourceful three-time may of New York City, and nine-term congressman, beneath which lurked mean and self-destructive tendencies. Take as a whole, Wood's colorful career was a unique microcosm of American history both during and after his lifetime. His business achievements mirrored popular beliefs in upward mobility. And Wood's mayoralty held a promise of revitalizing municipal government, giving it a social conscience, and setting new standards for the future. Despite his shortcomings, Fernando Wood played a major but unappreciated role in the urban and political history of time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biography of Hon. Fernando Wood: Mayor of the City of New-York But municipal governments apply particularly and individually, deal with you and with me personally, as private citizens, as householders, as professional men. There is no centralization - no capital of the land, in the European sense. Paris is France; Berlin is Prussia; Vienna is Austria; the judiciary, the bar, the police, the military, the license-laws, all issue from the capital, and pass through the entire realm; but Washington has none of these powers out of the boundaries of the small District of Columbia. That city is not the United States in this sense; for, with few exceptions, each State is an independent sovereignty; and even cities are sometimes independent of the States in matters of police and finance, although that may be changed by alteration of charter. See, then, how widely distinct are our national and municipal governments, and it is well so. This republicanism, with the powers of its representatives so limited, is found the most admirable general system for the nation; but when you take into consideration the fabulous extent of territory, the extraordinary diversity of interests, the singular composition of the populace, Anglo-Saxon, Celtic, Norse, Teutonic, Gallic, etc., you will see how utterly impossible a thing it is for a central, unique capital to rule it intimately and well.

Download or read book An Elusive Unity written by James J. Connolly and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-05 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although many observers have assumed that pluralism prevailed in American political life from the start, inherited ideals of civic virtue and moral unity proved stubbornly persistent and influential. The tension between these conceptions of public life was especially evident in the young nation's burgeoning cities. Exploiting a wide range of sources, including novels, cartoons, memoirs, and journalistic accounts, James J. Connolly traces efforts to reconcile democracy and diversity in the industrializing cities of the United States from the antebellum period through the Progressive Era. The necessity of redesigning civic institutions and practices to suit city life triggered enduring disagreements centered on what came to be called machine politics. Featuring plebian leadership, a sharp masculinity, party discipline, and frank acknowledgment of social differences, this new political formula first arose in eastern cities during the mid-nineteenth century and became a subject of national discussion after the Civil War. During the Gilded Age and Progressive Era, business leaders, workers, and women proposed alternative understandings of how urban democracy might work. Some tried to create venues for deliberation that built common ground among citizens of all classes, faiths, ethnicities, and political persuasions. But accommodating such differences proved difficult, and a vision of politics as the businesslike management of a contentious modern society took precedence. As Connolly makes clear, machine politics offered at best a quasi-democratic way to organize urban public life. Where unity proved elusive, machine politics provided a viable, if imperfect, alternative.
