  • Great Conspiracies, Stealing Seats, and Anarchy: Senatorial Elections in Disputed States, 1892–1893

    Open AccessPeter H ArgersingerARTICLEThe Journal of the Gilded Age and…2024

    While scholars are revitalizing political history, they continue to neglect the formal yet dynamic institutional framework that shaped not merely the traditional subjects of election campaigns and governance but also newer concerns dealing with political participation, representation, power, legitimacy, and conflict. This article focuses on the 1893 senatorial elections in the six states where neither major party held the legislative majority on …

Mobilizing small farmers agai…

  • Righteous Indignation: Religion and the Populist Revolution

    Peter H ArgersingerARTICLEJournal of American History2007Cited by: 1
