Cleveland and the Civil War
No full textAlthough removed from the frontlines, Cleveland played an active role in national events before, during and after the Civil War. President Lincoln visited this abolitionist hotbed after his 1860 election. Following the president’s assassination five years later, his funeral train made a stop here. Cleveland and Cuyahoga County sent more than 9,000 troops to war. More than 1,700 never returned. Born just outside Cleveland, James Garfield emerged from the war to become president of the United States. Most vitally, the economic prosperity of the war years began the transformation of this small but thriving village into a future manufacturing powerhouse. Author W. Dennis Keating, member and past president of the Cleveland Civil War Roundtable, creates a panoramic view of the city through one of the nation’s most troubled times.https://engagedscholarship.csuohio.edu/urban_bks/1028/thumbnail.jp

Nomination for President for the Democratic Party of 1888
No full textUnique document composed by the Nominating Committee of the National Democratic Party 1888 presented to Grover Cleveland for renomination during his first presidency. Signed by representatives from every state and territory within the nation.Courtesy of the State of New Jersey Division of Environmental Protection, the Grover Cleveland Birthplace Historic Site, Caldwell, New Jersey.Washington, D. C., June 26-th, 1888. - To the Honorable Grover Cleveland of New York. -
Sir: - The Delegates to the National Democratic Convention, representing every State and Territory of our Union, having assembled in the city of Saint Louis on June 5-th inst. for the purpose of nominating Candidates for the offices of President and Vice-President of the United States, it has become the honorable and pleasing duty of this Committee to formally announce to you, that without a ballot, you were, by acclamation, chosen as the Standard bearer of the Democratic Party for the Chief Executiveship of this Country, at the election to be held in November next. Great as is such a distinction under any circumstances, it is the more flattering and profound when it is remembered that you have been selected as your own successor to an office, the duties of which, always onerous, have been rendered of an extraordinarily sensitive, difficult and delicate nature because of a change of Political Parties and methods, after twenty-four years of uninterrupted domination. This exaltation is, if possible, added to by the fact that the Declaration of Principles - based upon your last Annual Message to the Congress of the United States relative to a Tariff-reduction and a diminution of the expenses of the Government - throws down the direct and defiant challenge, "for an exacting scrutiny of the administration of the executive power, which four years ago was committed in its trust to the election of Grover Cleveland President of the United States, and for the most searching enquiry concerning its fidelity and devotion to the pledges which then invited the suffrages of the people." An engrossed copy of that platform - adopted without a dissenting voice - is herewith tendered to you. In conveying, Sir, to you, the responsible trust which has been confided to them, this Committee beg, individually and collectively, to express the great pleasure which they have felt at the results attending the National Convention of the Democratic Party, and to offer to you their best wishes for official and personal success and happiness. - We have the honor, Sir, to be - Your Obedient Servants, - Patrick A.

Financing Invention During the Second Industrial Revolution: Cleveland, Ohio, 1870-1920
No full textFor those who think of Cleveland as a decaying rustbelt city, it may seem difficult to believe that this northern Ohio port was once a hotbed of high-tech startups, much like Silicon Valley today. During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Cleveland played a leading role in the development of a number of second-industrial-revolution industries, including electric light and power, steel, petroleum, chemicals, and automobiles. In an era when production and inventive activity were both increasingly capital-intensive, technologically creative individuals and firms required greater and greater amounts of funds to succeed. This paper explores how the city's leading inventors and technologically innovative firms obtained financing, and finds that formal institutions, such as banks and securities markets, played only a very limited role. Instead, most funding came from local investors who took long-term stakes in start-ups formed to exploit promising technological discoveries, often assuming managerial positions in these enterprises as well. Business people who were interested in investing in cutting-edge ventures needed help in deciding which inventors and ideas were most likely to yield economic returns, and we show how enterprises such as the Brush Electric Company served multiple functions for the inventors who flocked to work there. Not only did they provide forums for the exchange of ideas, but by assessing each other's discoveries, the members of these technological communities conveyed information to local businessmen about which inventions were most worthy of support.
