Maria Tatar, in "The Annotated Classic Fairy Tales" (2002), notes that Southey's tale is sometimes viewed as a cautionary tale that imparts a lesson about the hazards of wandering off and exploring unknown territory. Like "The Tale of the Three Little Pigs", the story uses repetitive formulas to engage the child's attention and to reinforce the point about safety and shelter. Tatar points out that the tale is typically framed today as a discovery of what is "just right", but for earlier generations, it was a tale about an intruder who could not control herself when encountering the possessions of others.

Sorry. I cannot find the answer based on the context. Yes, a radical supporter of the French Revolution Yes hevigorously supported the Liverpool government. He argued against parliamentary reform ("the railroad to ruin with the Devil for driver"), blamed the Peterloo Massacre on an allegedly revolutionary "rabble" killed and injured by government troops, and spurned Catholic emancipation. He vigorously supported the Liverpool government.

He continued to take an active interest in English politics. As a Liberal, he opposed Benjamin Disraeli, and was a strong supporter of Irish Disestablishment, but refused to follow Gladstone in accepting Home Rule. He expressly stated that "if he ever had a political leader, his leader was John Bright, not Mr Gladstone." Causes that he powerfully attacked were Prohibition, female suffrage and state socialism, as he discussed in his "Essays on Questions of the Day" (revised edition, 1894). He also published sympathetic monographs on William Cowper and Jane Austen, and attempted verse in "Bay Leaves and Specimens of Greek Tragedy".

For example, a campaign brochure showed the candidate wearing a three-piece suit and holding a piglet in his arms. Although he had grown up on a subsistence farm and had an active interest in Vermont agriculture—especially in the type of hog shown in the picture—this had the effect of making him appear to be a phony. The "Rutland Herald" observed that, "In Vermont in 1940, pigs were common to many households. But so was common sense. There were many people, most in fact, who did not want as their representative someone who would wear his best clothes if he intended to be handling pigs." Aiken won by 7,000 votes, having spent $3,219.50 to Flanders's $18,698.45.

The girl who broke into the Three Bears' home and ate their porridge has grown up. Now Goldilocks is a gun-toting Leftist political agitator. She led about half of the Farm against Snow White in a rather foolish revolution. Despite her claims to be fighting for the 'rights' of the Farm Fables, and even becoming Little Bear's lover, her actions make it quite clear that she didn't care about the cause in the slightest, simply the power that such a position would provide. It was hoped that she had been killed after attempting to assassinate Bigby and Snow White (being, in order, hit in the head with an axe, knocked off a cliff and then finally hit by a truck off another cliff into a river), all the while still attempting to kill the two.

He also proposed for the Progress, Labour and Conservative Party to agree on increasing the electoral threshold to five percent, so that several of the smaller parties would fall out of parliament.
Carl I. Hagen | "Klar tale" (2010)
Among his independent publications are "Who killed Cock Robin?" (1897), "Tales told in the Zoo" (1900), two volumes of "Froissart's Modern Chronicles, told and pictured by FC Gould" (1902 and 1903), and "Picture Politics"—a periodical reprint of his "Westminster Gazette" cartoons, one of the most noteworthy implements of political warfare in the armoury of the Liberal Party. With Sir Wilfrid Lawson he published "Cartoons in Rhyme and Line" (1905). Frequently grafting his ideas onto subjects taken freely from "Uncle Remus", "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland", and the works of Dickens and Shakespeare, Gould used these literary vehicles with extraordinary dexterity and point, but with a satire that was not unkind and with a vigour from which bitterness, virulence and cynicism were notably absent.

Already in November 1848 de Smit van den Broecke had got a lot of votes to become a candidate for the House of Representatives. One can therefore assume that next to being interested in politics, he did have some charisma. However, he declined to be on the list. Instead he continued his career in the navy.

Broderick became active in politics as a young man, joining the Democratic Party. In 1846, he was the Democratic candidate for U.S. Representative from New York's 5th congressional district, but lost the election to Whig candidate Frederick A. Tallmadge, who gained 42% of the vote to Broderick's 38%.

On election day, all the votes cast for Ashmole, instead of being declared invalid, were declared as votes for the King's candidate, and only as a result of this ruse was the candidate favoured by the Court (Richard Leveson) elected. Ashmole's health began to deteriorate during the 1680s. He continued to hold his excise office throughout the reign of James II and after the Glorious Revolution until his death but became much less active in affairs. His home cures included hanging three spiders around his neck which "drove my Ague away". He began to collect notes on his life in diary form to serve as source material for a biography; although the biography was never written, these notes are a rich source of information on Ashmole and his times.

He was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario for Port Arthur riding in Northern Ontario as a Conservative in the December 1911 provincial election. He was re-elected in 1914 and 1919, serving until May 1923. Re-entering provincial politics, he was elected as an Independent-Conservative in December 1926 and re-elected as a Conservative in October 1929, ending his political career in May 1934. During his long political career he focused his efforts on the development of the mining and pulp and paper industry.

The story makes extensive use of the literary rule of three, featuring three chairs, three bowls of porridge, three beds, and the three title characters who live in the house. There are also three sequences of the bears discovering in turn that someone has been eating from their porridge, sitting in their chairs, and finally, lying in their beds, at which point is the climax of Goldilocks being discovered. This follows three earlier sequences of Goldilocks trying the bowls of porridge, chairs, and beds successively, each time finding the third "just right". Author Christopher Booker characterises this as the "dialectical three", where "the first is wrong in one way, the second in another or opposite way, and only the third, in the middle, is just right".

His polemical account of the Cardiganshire election in the Traethodydd was long regarded as a definitive account. In 1865 Kilsby Jones also actively campaigned for David Williams in Merioneth. As well as his involvement in electoral contests, Kilsby was active in other political and social campaign. Chief among these was the development of education, and he was an early advocate of university education in Wales. For example, in December 1870 he joined with Thomas Price, John Griffiths (Gohebydd) and others in addressing a public meeting on the subject at Aberdare. Jones also played a prominent role in Liberal politics in his native Breconshire, which was captured from the Conservatives by William Fuller-Maitland at an 1875 by-election, and became a safe Liberal seat thereafter.
Kilsby Jones | Political activity
He was instrumental in securing a declaration in favor of bimetallism, and he was a conspicuous actor in the prolonged fight in the Senate against its unconditional repeal following the 1892 Republican National Convention. The decision thus made was to indefinitely keep the gold standard intact and, in response, Teller and 24 others marched out of the 1896 Republican National Convention. As a staunch supporter of bimetallism, along with being a prominent figure, he joined the other leading Silver Republicans and became leader of the Silver Republican Party. However, as bimetallism increasingly fell out of national politics, the party lost much of its influence and many Silver Republicans returned to the Republican Party.

Hawthorne took an active interest in public affairs. Politically, he was originally a Whig, but after the overthrow of that party he became a Democrat. He commanded respect from members of both parties, and he was retained in office for many years when the state was under Republican rule. He declined to become a candidate for high public stations.

Cavendish entered politics in his early twenties, becoming the Member of Parliament for the County of Derbyshire for over 20 years, returned to office five times in five successive elections, in 1572, 1584, 1586, 1589 and 1593. This remarkable record of success was likely not so much a tribute to his personal qualities than to the influence of his stepfather, the Earl of Shrewsbury. No reference to him has been found in the Parliamentary journals, suggesting that his actual interest in politics and government was rather limited.

He acted as teller for the Whigs and supported the naturalization of the Palatines in 1709. He voted for the impeachment of Dr Sacheverell in 1710. |At the 1710 British general election he was returned unopposed for Reading. He again acted as a teller and was an active opponent of the ministry's trade policy, voting against the French commerce bill in 1713. He was defeated at the 1713 British general election, but became a Gentleman of the Privy Chamber in 1714.

Fazakerley was elected in a contest as Tory Member of Parliament for Preston at a by-election on 24 January 1732 and retained his seat unopposed at the 1734 British general election two years later. He was a Jacobite of the cautious type. He was listened to with attention, and by a section of his party came to be regarded as a leader. In a debate on the convention with Spain, 9 March 1739, whereby peace was secured on payment by the Spanish government of a compensation to English traders, he declared that if Sir Robert Walpole 'were determined to carry it by a majority, he would never again appear in the house till he perceived a change of measures'.

Twelve years after the publication of Southey's tale, Joseph Cundall transformed the antagonist from an ugly old woman to a pretty little girl in his "Treasury of Pleasure Books for Young Children". He explained his reasons for doing so in a dedicatory letter to his children, dated November 1849, which was inserted at the beginning of the book: Once the little girl entered the tale, she remained – suggesting children prefer an attractive child in the story rather than an ugly old woman. The juvenile antagonist saw a succession of names: Silver Hair in the pantomime "Harlequin and The Three Bears; or, Little Silver Hair and the Fairies" by J.

Wilkes also was active in promoting boxing, acting as the promoter for some prizefights. Wilkes also became involved in an effort to colonize Baja California, becoming trustee of a colonizing company in 1867. In 1877 he published his last work, "Shakespeare from an American Point of View", which reflected his lifelong interest in William Shakespeare.

This step involved him in a second electioneering contest. He was opposed by Walter Williams, Esq. of Maesclough, but after an heated battle was returned as Knight of the Shire. The parliamentary politics of Mr. Johnes were at this time decidedly ministerial. To Prime Minister North, who was then prime minister, he was attached by the ties of personal friendship, as well as by their agreement in political views. Like the celebrated Gibbon, he a gave many a silent, but sincere vote in favour of the American war. His devotion was his reward. In the year 1781, he was appointed His Majesty's Auditor for the Principality of Wales.

Jekyll was returned as a Whig Member of Parliament for Eye at a by-election on 14 December 1697 and was returned again in the following year at the 1698 English general election. He was seen as part of the Whig Junto . He was extremely active in parliament and an excellent speaker. He played a role in drafting various bills and acts. Occasionally he voted against the party, mainly because he supported greater reform of the electoral system and the removal of bribery and corruption. He was returned unopposed for Eye in the two general elections of 1701 and in 1702 and 1705.

Harris was a strong Democrat, and his political writings either extolled Democratic leaders or lampooned leaders of opposing parties, namely the Whigs and Republicans. In his 1856 story, "Playing Old Sledge For the Presidency," Harris has Sut Lovingood recount a dream in which presidential candidates James Buchanan, Millard Fillmore, and John C. Frémont play a card game for the presidency. Harris's 1859 story "Love-Feast of Varmints" mocked the Opposition Party's state convention using anthropomorphic animals to portray party leaders such as John Bell, Henry S. Foote and Neill S. Brown. In 1861, Harris published his three-part attack on Abraham Lincoln entitled "Sut Lovingood Travels With Old Abe as His Confidential Friend and Advisor." His first writings after the Civil War included "Sut Lovingood's Dream" and "On the Puritan Yankee," which defended Southern values.

An existing member of Brooks's, Grattan was elected unopposed as Whig MP for at a by-election in 1821, pledging to pursue the same "principles and conduct" as his father. He was noted by James Grant as an MP with "great fluency" and "never... at a loss for words", but "ideas are of an inferior order" and having "nothing of the vehemence of his brother". Speaking with his hat under his left arm, the house could "calculate as safely on his presence as that of the Speaker himself" when Irish matters were discussed. Attending regularly, he often divided with the Whigs on most issues, including economy, retrenchment and reduced taxation, and also voted for reform and Catholic relief, calling, in his maiden speech for the end to the Protestant "monopoly of place, which had already existed for too long"—and his career is dominated by votes and speeches on issues relating to Irish Catholics.

In 1958, Gold joined the Washington, D.C. public relations firm of Selvage & Lee. His interest in Republican politics began after the Bay of Pigs invasion, which made him disillusioned with the presidency of Democrat John F. Kennedy, for whom he had voted in 1960. He was attracted to Senator Goldwater's strong stance against communism and Goldwater's libertarianism and contrarian tendencies. In 1964 he became deputy press secretary for Goldwater's unsuccessful presidential campaign. In his chronicle of the 1964 election, Theodore H. White described Gold as having played a critical role in helping to overcome the press corps' hostility toward Goldwater.

Chambers remained active in politics after the 1880 election. He served as chairman of the Texas Greenback Party in 1882 as George Washington Jones received the party's endorsement for governor. He was unsuccessful, and Chambers worried that the party was becoming "disorganized and disintegrated beyond the hope of a successful rally." In 1884, Jones ran again for governor and Chambers broke with him on the question of whether the state should lease public lands or let cattlemen use them without payment (Chambers favored the former option). He also criticized the party's presidential nominee that year, Benjamin Butler of Massachusetts, for attacking monopolies without offering any suggestions on how to reform them.

Following the annulment of the election and the defeat of the revolution Hourwich returned to America, working once again for the Bureau of the Census in compiling a massive volume on mine statistics in association with the 1910 census. Back in America, Hourwich continued to stand outside the Socialist movement, supporting the Progressive Party ("Bull Moose") ticket of Theodore Roosevelt in the Presidential election of 1912. In 1913 Hourwich himself became a candidate of the Bull Moose Party, running for an open seat in Congress to fill a vacancy. Although personally respected for his independence, honesty, and intelligence in the Russian colony in America, this alignment with the capitalists proved a bridge too far for the Russian-language Marxists of New York, who accused him of "instability" and of having gone over to the capitalists in the pages of the weekly newspaper "Novyi Mir" (New World).

Ogle took the floor of the House of Representatives on April 14, 1840. For the better part of three days he addressed the House, sitting as a committee of the whole, about the "regal splendor of the President's Palace." His words over those three days would snowball into a political campaign like no other. In the presidential campaign of 1840, Democrat Martin Van Buren, eighth president of the United States, met strong Whig opposition to his supposedly "royal lifestyle." Van Buren continued to entertain European dignitaries in an elegant manner after the collapse of the economy in 1837. Van Buren's rather dandyish style and refined tastes did make an easy target for Whig attacks.

Waller, in keeping with his expressed preferences as a moderator and conciliator, attempted to act as a broker between the factions that developed around the Popish Plot between 1678 and 1681, but found little success. He opposed the Whigs over the Exclusion Crisis, and appears to have withdrawn from active politics for a time. He did not sit for the three exclusion parliaments (the Habeas Corpus Parliament, Exclusion Bill Parliament and Oxford Parliament). He returned to politics with the accession of James II, being elected to represent Saltash in the Loyal Parliament in 1685. He wrote two poems to the new king, both continuing to urge reconciliation and national unity.

Although he topped the poll with William Haldimand in the four-man contest, scrutiny led to him being relegated to third place. However, on petition, he was again declared elected. He became a regular attender and ready debate, voting against the Tory government and with the Whigs in almost every major division between 1820 and 1824, including supporting the 'Mountain' and Joseph Hume's campaigns for economy and retrenchment and becoming one of their spokesman on diplomatic expenditure, local courts, and a variety of issues affecting the city. He voted against the Barrack Agreement Bill in 1820, and divided for Catholic relief in 1821 and 1825.

After the 1884 election, Chambers had little involvement in politics. The Greenback Party fell apart by 1888, but many of its ideas and members found a home in the People's Party, which arose in the early 1890s. Chambers made his last foray into politics in 1890 in two letters to the "Southern Mercury", a newspaper of the Farmers' Alliance, in which he again condemned monopolies and corporations, and suggested that all laws creating them be repealed. He was encouraged by the growth of the People's Party, but old age and ill health kept him from being an active member. Chambers died at his home on September 16, 1895, and was buried in Cleburne Memorial Cemetery.

Liddell was on good terms with Walpole, and at the 1727 British general election, he was returned as Member of Parliament for Berwick-Upon-Tweed with the support of the government interest there. Walpole referred to him as ‘the wise man of the north’. Liddell voted with the Government in all recorded divisions. He was returned again at the 1734 British general election. He became involved in the matter of the forfeited Derwentwater estates of which the proceeds were to be used for the benefit of Greenwich Hospital. The undeveloped parts of the estate which included mines and woods were to be sold off.

Numerous political references to the "Wizard" appeared early in the 20th century. Henry Littlefield, an upstate New York high school history teacher, wrote a scholarly article which was the first full-fledged interpretation of the novel as an extended political allegory of the politics and characters of the 1890s. Special attention was paid to the Populist metaphors and debates over silver and gold. Baum was a Republican and avid supporter of Women's Suffrage, and it is thought that he did not support the political ideals of either the Populist movement of 1890–1892 or the Bryanite-silver crusade of 1896–1900. He published a poem in support of William McKinley.

Joseph Earle (MP) | Career

Jack Jones (novelist) | Politics
This can be seen from the political activity they both carried out, fighting for the rights of Romanians in Transylvania, as well as from some small but still significant deeds. Thus in the letter of November 25, 1858, sent from Vienna to those at home in Roșia, Iosif Hodoș and Simion Balint show that he was waiting to go in audience to the emperor, who was gone, then Balint writes: "...but the ugly so they realized that we think we won't get out of here ... we can barely get to our polenta once again." In 1869 and 1878, for three terms, Iosif Hodoș was a member of the Budapest Parliament.
Iosif Hodoșiu | Political activity
I did so much against my inclination and was returned, but not without paying dearly for the distinguished honour, as it is deemed. I did not consider it an honour at all; I thought it a great bore... I was so entirely engrossed with hunting, shooting and athletic feats that I could not turn my thoughts to politics, and it was only in response to my mother’s entreaties that I attended the House on urgent occasions."
George Osbaldeston | Politics
He was a member of the New York State Assembly (Saratoga Co., 1st D.) in 1866, 1867, 1868 and 1869; and was Speaker in 1869. He was a delegate to the Republican National Convention in 1868 and Temporary Chairman of the Liberal Republican state convention of 1872.
Truman G. Younglove | Political role
In "The Uses of Enchantment" (1976), the child psychologist Bruno Bettelheim describes Goldilocks as "poor, beautiful, and charming", and notes that the story does not describe her positively except for her hair. Bettelheim mainly discussed the tale in terms of Goldilocks' struggle to move past Oedipal issues to confront adolescent identity problems. In Bettelheim's view, the tale fails to encourage children "to pursue the hard labor of solving, one at a time, the problems which growing up presents", and does not end as fairy tales should with the "promise of future happiness awaiting those who have mastered their Oedipal situation as a child".
Goldilocks and the Three Bears | Interpretations
Even more diversified than his activities in local affairs was his participation in those that concerned the state as a whole. Never a politician, and to the end of his days allowing such honors and offices as came to him to come unsought and unfought for, he nevertheless early became identified with the political life of his state. Starting as a Republican, he was nominated for state senator from the fourth district in 1867, but was not elected. In 1884 he was one of the ""independents"" who refused to support James G. Blaine, and was chosen president of the Republican organization in Connecticut.
Simeon Eben Baldwin | Political life
Finally, during these years he also worked on a translation of the "Secret History of the Mongols".
Merse (politician) | In politics
In 1830, he announced his candidature for Member of Parliament (MP) as a Whig for Taunton, promising to be an "active and independent member" to succeed the retiring Tory, Henry Seymour. He gave "moderate and cautious" support for reform, but exclaimed he was attached to the "existing institutions of these kingdoms" yet a "friend of liberal measures" and "cared not from what party they came". He added further that, while it was important to maintain "the national dignity and splendour", he was "anxious... to alleviate... the burdens of the people... especially of the manufacturing and commercial classes". Asked to detail his views precisely, he said he was opposed to "violent or sweeping measure[s]" as supported by Lord Blandford, and more inclined to Lord John Russell's views where they were "consonant to the principles which I have professed and intend to advocate".
Edward Thomas Bainbridge | Member of Parliament
Joy was intimately involved with politics from his early career. A member of the Whig Party and subsequently a Republican, for a time he had also been a member of the Free Soil Party.

George Peabody Gooch | Member of Parliament
Gripenstedt first entered politics as a representative of the nobility at the Riksdag of 1840–1841. He soon distinguished himself as a skillful speaker and was elected to the parliament's Committee on the Accords (). Through his marriage into the Anckarswärd family in 1842, Gripenstedt became affiliated with the "liberal landowners'"-faction of the parliament, led by Carl Henrik Anckarswärd. In the end of 1841, Gripenstedt was elected to the parliament's powerful Committee on the Constitution, which at this time worked on a new representative reform. As opposed to the conservative group of the parliament, Gripenstedt was a strong adherent of free elections and general suffrage long before this was realized in Sweden.

Dunch joined heartily in the Glorious Revolution of 1688, and seems to have been a Whig throughout life. He was returned unopposed as Member of Parliament for the borough of Cricklade at the two elections in January and November 1701 but was defeated in a contest in July 1702. He was re-elected MP for Cricklade in the general elections of 1705, 1708 and 1710. At the 1713 general election he was returned unopposed as MP for Boroughbridge in Yorkshire.

Edmund Dunch (Whig) | Political career
He returned to the Democratic party, now one of "white men and white metal" (silver), both important issues to him.
William H. Kitchin | Political career
His sharp edges contrast with the softer curves of the "Stump Speaker", the character who represents the present of American politics. The "Stump Speaker" appears to be swaying the assembled crowd by bending to the people's desires, shown by the curving arm that is outstretched to the audience. The "Small Businessman" represents the future. That child shows how people are starting to focus more on their money, as the child does, and less on politics, parallel to how the child is detached from the debate surrounding him. The three people represent "the Jeffersonian past, of statesmen and gentlemen farmers; the Jacksonian present, of demagogues, party hacks, and gullible citizens; and a materialistic future of isolated citizens with no common public life at all."

He ran again as a Whig in 1832 and served in the 23rd through the 28th Congresses (March 4, 1833 – March 3, 1845), becoming chairman of the Agriculture Committee.

Each episode of the series had its own visual style based on the works of a particular painter or illustrator. The artists were chosen by Shelley Duvall and included Gustav Klimt (Rapunzel) and Edmund Dulac (The Nightingale). The visual style of the Goldilocks episode was modeled after the works of Norman Rockwell.

Mytton later returned to his country seat and took up the duties of a squire in preparation for coming into his full inheritance when he became 21. In 1819 he entertained ambitions of standing for Parliament, as a Tory, following family tradition. He secured his seat by offering voters £10 notes, spending a total of £10,000 (more than £750,000 as of 2006)). He thus became MP for Shrewsbury. He spent just 30 minutes in the House of Commons in June 1819, but found the debates boring and difficult to follow because of his incipient deafness. When Parliament was dissolved in 1820 he declined to stand at the next election.

The silver issue culminated in the selection of William Jennings Bryan as the Democratic 1896 presidential candidate. As a result, O'Ferrall became one of a small group of Virginia Democrats who supported the gold standard and opposed Bryan's candidacy. This stand undermined O'Ferrall's popularity and political support, and ensured that he would be a lame duck with no significant political accomplishments for the remainder of his term as governor.
Charles Triplett O'Ferrall | Governor
At the 1705 English general election, Duckett was returned in a contest as Whig Member of Parliament for Calne, in Wiltshire. He was very active in Parliament, acting several times as Teller.

He reported from the committee examining a petition relating to the administration of the Fleet prison and promoted a bill on the Calne highway. He was named to draft a bill to end the embargo on the export of white woollen cloth which was a matter of concern to his constituents.

Layard now turned to politics. Elected as a Liberal member for Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire in 1852, he was for a few weeks Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs, but afterwards freely criticised the government, especially in connection with army administration. He was present in the Crimea during the war, and was a member of the committee appointed to inquire into the conduct of the expedition. In 1855 he refused from Lord Palmerston an office not connected with foreign affairs, was elected lord rector of Aberdeen University, and on 15 June moved a resolution in the House of Commons (defeated by a 359–46 majority) declaring that in public appointments merit had been sacrificed to private influence and an adherence to routine.

He became an Assistant Scoutmaster. He was also involved in local politics and was noted as a good speaker. He supported Percy Alden MP in several election campaigns.
Robert Edward Cruickshank | Early life
By 1820, Marjoribanks was pursuing a political career. In that year's general election, he stood for Hythe and—with the help of a non-existent opposition, money, and patronage of the East India Company—he was "virtually impregnable". He declared independence from partisanship, however, stating to James Loch on the eve of the election that "I am not a Whig". Then, at the nomination, he was reported as declaring he: Marjoribanks' election was successful but, as a Member of Parliament, he began voting with the Whig opposition on most major issues, joining Brooks's Club in 1823—but also voting with the Tories on issues including against the omission of arrears from the Duke of Clarence's grant in 1821.
Stewart Marjoribanks | Political career
In the 1945 Ontario election, Thomas ran as a Progressive Conservative candidate in the riding of Elgin, defeating Mitchell Hepburn. Modest in victory, he said in his acceptance speech, "I am no wonder boy, and I repeat, I don't crave publicity. My ambition now is to be a good member for Elgin and to spend the rest of my time looking after my farm." He would later be reelected in the 1948, 1951 and 1955 elections. In 1951, he was appointed as Minister of Public Works in the government of Leslie Frost, where he was in charge of coordinating the province's conservation projects.
Fletcher Stewart Thomas | Politics
After the presidential election, Seymour remained involved in state politics, though primarily as an elder statesman rather than an active politician. He received a number of honors during this period, including the chancellorship of Union College in 1873. In 1874 he turned down almost certain election to the United States Senate, urging the nomination instead of the eventual choice, Francis Kernan. He refused two additional efforts to nominate him for the New York governorship, in 1876 and 1879, as well as a final attempt to select him as the Democratic presidential nominee in 1880. Never enjoying robust health, Seymour suffered a permanent decline beginning in 1876.
Horatio Seymour | Later years
He was again a frequent teller for the Whigs. At the 1702 English general election Yonge was returned unopposed again, but he became far less active in Parliament. He voted against the Tack on 28 November 1704. He was returned in a contest at the 1705 English general election, and voted for the Court candidate for Speaker on 25 October 1705. He supported the Court with regard to the 'place clause' in the regency bill on 18 February 1706. He was a teller on several occasions. At the 1708 British general election, he was returned in a contest as a Whig for Honiton.

He voted for the naturalization of the Palatines in 1709 and for the impeachment of Dr Sacheverell in 1710.
Rushout Cullen | Career
To Nast, the New York Herald is not a roaring lion to be feared, but a braying ass to be ridiculed. The reference in the citation to "Shakespeare or Bacon" is a jibe at Bennett's contention that Shakespeare's works were actually written by Sir Francis Bacon." In modern day, the symbol of the elephant is seen as a regular commodity, showing up on campaign merchandise and other party materials. Ordinary people would most likely not understand the rise of the elephant, or its history, but understand the symbolic nature of the beast in today's political climate. The elephant for the GOP rivals the Democrats' donkey.
