The Liberal Republican Party of the United States was a political party that was organized in Cincinnati in May 1872, to oppose the reelection of President Ulysses S. Grant and his Radical Republican supporters in the presidential election of 1872. The Liberal Republican party's candidate was Horace Greeley, longtime publisher of the New York Tribune. Following his nomination by the Liberal Republicans, Greeley was also nominated by the Democratic Party. Greeley was seen as an oddball reformer with little government experience and a long record of vehement attacks against the very Democrats he now called on for support. Greeley was defeated, receiving approximately 43% of the popular vote, and winning only in the states of Texas, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, and Maryland. Grant received 286 of the 352 electoral college votes.
The Liberal Republican Party vanished immediately after the election. However, historians suggest that,[who?] by loosening the allegiance of liberal elements to the Republican Party, the Liberal Republicans made it possible for many of these leaders to move to the Democratic Party. The others returned to the GOP.
History of the party[edit]
The party began in Missouri in 1870 under the leadership of Carl Schurz and spread nationwide.[1] It had strong support from powerful Republican newspaper editors such as Murat Halstead of the Cincinnati Commercial, Horace White of the Chicago Tribune, Henry Watterson of the Louisville Courier-Journal, Samuel Bowles of the Springfield Republican and especially Whitelaw Reid and Horace Greeley of the New York Tribune.[2]
The Liberal Republicans thought that the Grant Administration, and the president personally, were fully corrupt. More important they thought that the goals of Reconstruction had been achieved. These goals were first the destruction of slavery and second the destruction of Confederate nationalism. With these goals achieved the tenets of republicanism demanded that federal military troops be removed from the South, where they were propping up allegedly corrupt Republican regimes. Many of the original founders of the Republican party and leaders of the Civil War joined the movement, including its nominee Horace Greeley, Charles Sumner of Massachusetts, Lyman Trumbull of Illinois, Cassius Marcellus Clay of Kentucky, and Charles Francis Adams of Massachusetts. The party platform demanded "the immediate and absolute removal of all disabilities imposed on account of the rebellion" and local self-government for the southern states. It regarded "a thorough reform of the civil service as one of the most pressing necessities of the hour."[3]
The Liberal Republicans believed in civil and political rights for African-Americans and argued that goal had been achieved. Now, they said, it was time for "amnesty", which meant restoring the right to vote and hold office to ex-Confederates.[4] A key motivation for many Liberal Republicans was a belief in states' rights and a fear of a strong federal government.[5] Many Liberal Republicans had joined the Republican Party in the 1850s in opposition to the expansion of slavery into the territories, but with slavery no longer an issue and the Civil War over, other issues such as federal power re-emerged.[5] Many of the Liberal Republicans, including Trumbull, had opposed the impeachment of Andrew Johnson and were wary of an upset of the traditional Constitutional balance of power.[5]
1872 election and aftermath[edit]
The Liberal Republican Party held a convention in Cincinnati in May 1872. In Missouri, Democrats and Liberal Republicans had successfully defeated the incumbent Republican governor, and the Liberal Republicans hoped to nominate a presidential candidate who could likewise win the support of Democrats. Though Carl Schurz had founded the party, he was ineligible to run for president as he had been born in Germany. Entering the convention, Supreme Court Justice David Davis, Senator Lyman Trumbull of Illinois, and former Congressman Charles Francis Adams of Massachusetts were among the major candidates for the president. However, publisher Horace Greeley surprisingly won the nomination on the sixth ballot. Missouri Governor Benjamin Gratz Brown was chosen as the vice presidential nominee.[6]
The Democrats, who had planned to nominate the Liberal Republican presidential candidate, were dismayed at the choice of Greeley. However, no Democrat emerged as an alternative candidate, and the Democrats nominated the Greeley-Brown ticket and adopted the Liberal Republican platform.[6]
The Liberal Republican Party fused with the Democratic Party in all states except for Louisiana and Texas. In many states, such as Ohio, the two parties nominated half of the slate of candidates. Some Democrats supported Charles O'Conor, who ran for President on the Straight-Out Democratic ticket. However, in the state elections held in the fall prior to the presidential election, the LR-D fusion tickets were easily defeated by the Republicans.[3]
Greeley died on November 29, 1872, before the presidential electors met on December 4 to cast the electoral votes. The Greeley electors were not able to coordinate their votes before meeting, but their action made no difference in the face of Grant's electoral college landslide.[7]
Although the Liberal Republican Party did not survive Greeley's death, several of its reforms materialized in the following decade. Reform Republicans accomplished the nomination and then election of Rutherford B. Hayes in 1876, who brought Reconstruction to an end and removed some of the more offensive of Grant's appointments. The Liberal Republican call for civil service reform was passed during the administration of President Chester Arthur.[3] However, Greeley's relatively poor performance (he fared worse than Horatio Seymour had in 1868) also put an end to the Democratic experiment with fusion tickets.[6]
Downey (1967) argues Greeley was nominated as a result of a crass political bargain imposed against the will of a convention that really wanted Charles Francis Adams. Men like Schurz supported Adams, but were inexperienced political idealists, and not professional politicians. They neither acted nor voted as a bloc, particularly after the collapse of a boom for David Davis, a collapse engineered by a group of leading reformist Republican editors. The shift of particular votes to Greeley was not decisive, but the feeling of the delegates that Adams could not win support among Irish workers, the Western masses, or Democratic voters.[8]
Lunde (1978) argues Grant supporters hailed the Civil War as a great triumph which had bound the United States into a united nation, linked not only by sentiment but by rapidly increasing networks of railroads. The Democrats and their Liberal Republican allies thought the war was a tragedy, recoiled against centralization, and sought to recapture the purity of prewar days through reconciliation and respect for the autonomy of the states. Greeley's benevolent image of nationalism was defeated by the centralizing, "blood and iron" concept of Grant.[9]
McPherson (1972) argues that three-quarters of ex-abolitionists favored Grant, although such antislavery Republicans as Charles Francis Adams, Carl Schurz, and Charles Sumner were key supporters of Greeley. Focused on the welfare of the freedmen, abolitionists were appalled by Greeley's formula for cooperation with "better class" southern whites by granting amnesty to all Confederates and adopting a hands-off policy toward the South. They supported Grant in the belief that his southern policy promised the best protection for the African Americans. Most abolitionists believed that, moral suasion having failed earlier, true equality could be achieved only through relentless law enforcement.[10]
Slap (2006) redeems the reputation of the Liberal Republicans from allegations of opportunism (as presented by Ari Hoogenboom), of elitism (as presented by John G. Sproat), and racism as presented by the Neoabolitionists. He joins Heather Cox Richardson and David Quigley in concluding that Reconstruction ended not because of politicized violence in the South, but because of the Northern decision that the war goals had been achieved and it would thwart republican ideals to continue Army rule of the South.

Sorry to hear of your Dad's diagnosis. I lost my Dad to Cholangiocarcinoma a week before Thanksgiving and only two weeks after getting the bad news. We were able to get in touch, and a second opinion from Dr. Michel Kahaleh from the University of Virginia. He specializes in spyglass lasar therapy. I don't know if it is the same as Photodynamic therapy. He is worth contacting as he welcomed looking at my Dad's file, CT's and records and got back to us within 24 hours. He was wonderful. Unfortunately for us my Dad was not a candidate. Perhaps your Father will fair better. All the best. God Bless. Don't give up.

9 Men: The X-Factor of Pilates It s no secret that most Pilates participants around the globe are women. But the frustrating question is why? When you look at the origin of Pilates it really seems that this is an exercise that men should flock to. It was designed by a man who was a former boxer and gymnast in order to rehabilitate wounded internees during World War 1. How manly is that? The elite athlete factor How do you get your average guy to try Pilates? Well, just about every man wants to be an athlete, and Pilates can improve athletic ability. Runners shave seconds off their times, baseball players and golfers hit the ball farther, etc. and they can do this with less chance of injury. In fact, the one sector of the male population that is using Pilates is elite athletes. Many of Balanced Body s customers are teams from the NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL, as well as Olympic athletes. Any studio who markets this point stands a good chance of increasing their male clientele. One studio owner who realizes this is Page Sieffert, owner of Pilates Nosara in Nosara, Costa Rica. Page started group classes specifically for men. Their wives were all clients of mine and they were sick of hearing their husbands complaining about their backs, necks, etc. so they made them come to see me, says Page. There was some initial interest but also a bit of skepticism. One male client was a rugby player, and all of them were avid surfers. When I told them that this form of exercise could make them better surfers, I had their interest. Designing a class for men Page designed the class a little differently than her other women s classes. Cueing was more direct and verbal. She chose exercises that had more physicality and cardio elements. I think men are under the misconception that Pilates doesn t make you sweat, and if you aren t sweating you aren t working out. Well, I can tell you, at the end of each of my sessions these are guys are dripping. The other dynamic that Page had to get used to was that when the men arrived they were ready to go. There s a bit more socializing with women, she says. The guys are focused on getting a good workout. I have their undivided attention for the entire hour. Teaching them is a lot of fun because they work hard, want to constantly take it to the next level with proper form, and are enjoying the results. Once they do several rigorous workouts with me they see the benefits and intelligence in the Pilates Method and they re hooked. Word has gotten around and now Page is scheduling even more men s classes. Other guys are seeing the results and they want in. What kind of results are they seeing? Big differences in their bodies Iain Ross is one of Page s clients and an avid athlete. I am an ex-junior international rugby player who suffered serious back trauma and was told I would never run again, says Iain. The last 10 years I have been so stiff and felt about 60 years old. During the last 10 months I have focused on rehabbing my body and mind. Page s classes were the highlight of this, and now at 33 I surf better than I have ever before. Pilates will be part of my life forever. Adds Graham Swindell, another of Page s clients: Because I surf 350 days out of the year, my back takes a beating. After a Pilates class on the Reformer my back gets aligned again, allowing me to move painlessly in everyday routines, as well as out in the water. If I go a couple of weeks without doing a Pilates class the pain always comes back. So it has become a necessity if I want to continue my active lifestyle. Pilates just makes so much sense for guys says Page. If you think about it men need this type of exercise just as much as women because they tend to have less flexibility, and often unknowingly choose workouts that may lead to injury. Luckily some of the guys around here are catching on! 7

11 Reaching Out to the Community University of the Incarnate Word becomes the first model site for Heroes in Motion. The Pilates Method Alliance website lists Heroes in Motion as an international initiative founded by the Pilates Method Alliance, inspired by instructors who are dedicated to facilitating functional movement with comfort and ease for those who experience severe impediments to motor control. The initiative supports the development of an international network of Pilates teachers who offer movement instruction to eligible clients in their community. It serves clients with military and civilian affiliations. Conditions include but are not limited to polytrauma, vestibular disorders, prosthetic limb(s) and traumatic brain injury. Dr. Amy Wagner is a physical therapist who has incorporated Pilates into her practice at University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio, TX. She first heard of the Heroes in Motion initiative in I saw a video on social media about the Heroes in Motion (HIM) program with Elizabeth Larkam, and knew right away that this was a project I wanted to be a part of, says Amy. There was something about the movements they were doing that seemed to tap into the nervous system in a different way to improve coordination, gait, and body awareness. I took the corresponding Movement Strategies course, and have incorporated the techniques in my work with patients and clients. Becoming a model site One of the initiatives for HIM is to get rehabilitative facilities to become model sites sites that can provide low-cost or pro bono therapeutic services to civilian and military patients in need within the community. Because University of the Incarnate Word is located near the San Antonio Military Medical Center, Amy saw a perfect opportunity to turn her program into the very first model site for HIM. I wanted to develop a model site for potential patients/clients to benefit from the movement re-education strategies. I also want to use the resources here to reach out to meet the needs of the community including potentially the San Antonio Military Medical Center, says Amy. Being an educational institution with a strong social justice mission, and an interest in pro bono work, it seemed to be a perfect fit. Serving the community The program is already seeing great results, predominantly treating local patients with complex orthopedic issues, using the principles of Movement Strategies. In particular she points out a patient who had been involved in a serious car accident a year earlier. She was still using a cane with a very slow gait pattern. We worked on the Wunda Chair exclusively, progressing as able, and incorporating Pilates mat exercises as homework. Her walking speed doubled, she no longer needed her cane by the end of her treatment, and she was participating much more in the community, says Amy. Doing full-body movements, as opposed to working isolated muscle groups, and improving the proximal stability enabled her whole gait pattern to improve significantly. She s just made amazing progress and it s been so rewarding to see her improve her quality of life. What will the future bring? Amy firmly believes in the powerful benefits that Pilates and mindful movement can have across the spectrum of health from rehab to wellness. She would like to do more outreach to her community in order to provide movement re-education and rehabilitation services to those who would benefit. I have a supportive institution, colleagues, and community therapists. I would like to see the program expand to include working with individuals with neurological injuries, soldiers, older adults, and others who could benefit from more efficient movement. I am working on reaching out to our veteran and military communities in particular. I hope to never stop growing and learning more about mindful movement, and assisting others in their journey of finding their fullest potential. 9

13 From the Pilates Arc to a Full Studio How the Athletic Club of Bend, Oregon used the Pilates Arc as a foundation to build a full-fledged Pilates program. Established in 1991 the Athletic Club of Bend (ACB), located in the city of Bend, Oregon, is one of the area s premier private health and fitness clubs. In 2010 Ashleigh Mitchell, a trained Pilates teacher, came to ACB to teach group mat classes. I came to ACB in 2010 to teach Pilates mat classes as part of the group exercise program. There was already interest in Pilates, thanks to other wonderful teachers at ACB, says Ashleigh. As the popularity of my class grew, there were requests by members for more mind-body learning opportunities. The next logical step was equipment-based classes. The trick was that, at the time, there simply wasn t room for major equipment pieces. Pilates Arc to the rescue However, the club did have a set of Pilates Arcs, so Ashleigh started some small group training classes. For the next year she taught an average of 10 Pilates sessions per week using the Pilates Arc and whatever accessory pieces she had, anywhere she could find space. At first it was frustrating to be so constrained by space and minimal equipment, says Ashleigh. But necessity is the mother of invention and it certainly inspired me to come up with creative methods to accomplish what I wanted out of the movement for each unique client. Although it was challenging, it really developed my problem-solving skills! She was also helped by the versatility and the space-saving economy of the Pilates Arc. The Pilates Arc is a great tool to expand an existing mat-focused program into the equipment realm. It is cost-effective, accessible for students of all levels, small and lightweight (which I love), and a wonderful way to develop a Pilates program beyond the mat. The Pilates Arc classes were met with great enthusiasm from the members. At the same time, Ashleigh was compiling and submitting ROI reports in support of Pilates training at the Club to her general manager. The members were embracing the educational experience and wanting more than a fitness event, she says. I knew demand was there and the additional revenue generated by the Pilates Arc sessions were now proof of concept. Finally, the timing was right and the Club responded with approval to grow. Springboarding to a full studio For the last year ACB now has had a dedicated space for a full Balanced Body studio with Reformers, Towers, Chairs, a Ladder Barrel and many small accessory tools for privates and duets. Word of mouth has been enough to keep all available Pilates sessions at capacity. Marketing your program is usually essential for growth, she says. But right now we are in the unique situation where if we marketed the studio, there would be more interest than we could service! It s a good problem to have. In fact, the program has been so popular ACB is now considering expanding again. That would mean we would add two more Reformers with Towers to allow for group classes of four, says Ashleigh. Adding the larger group classes will allow for more members to access Pilates due to the lower price point. And that s great for both the members and the Athletic Club of Bend. We ve been lucky because our members truly understand and appreciate how much Pilates can and has helped them. Unfortunately, most people seek out Pilates and movement education once they have reached a point of pain. But Pilates is an incredible foundation for working with people dealing with limitations and looking to return to an active, healthy, pain-free life. That s been a big factor in program retention. 11
14 Fascia has been a buzz word in the Pilates and fitness communities since the publication of Thomas Myers ground-breaking book, Anatomy Trains: Myofascial Meridians for Manual and Movement Therapists, in The concept of myofascial meridians confirmed and reinforced our understanding of the body as an interconnected whole rather than a disconnected bunch of parts. Over the last several years I have attended several international congresses and workshops on Fascia and Fascial Fitness and have been intrigued by how the research can help us as Pilates teachers, fitness instructors and movement educators. Most recently I attended Fascia Summer School in Ulm, Germany with several other prominent Pilates educators and we had a great time reflecting on what all these studies mean for our practice. Here are a few key concepts for you to consider. Concept 1: Elastic recoil Evidence from the Achilles tendon in rats suggests that fascia has an elastic quality allowing energy to be rapidly stored and released to create power for running and jumping. In fact the fascia reacts faster than the muscles and nerves to release the calf muscle to push off the ground. This property of fascia accounts for the explosive power of running and jumping when performed by a trained athlete and perhaps explains the less dynamic or sluggish quality of any untrained jogger. In the study, regular jumping activities over a period of 6 months reorganized the fascia from a relatively chaotic structure into a more organized structure having a greater capacity for elastic recoil. Nora s Corner Where Science and Movement Collide: Reflections on how fascial research can influence our work as Pilates and movement teachers Implications for movement training: Add well-timed, repetitive jumping or running to your clients programs to remodel their fascia, enhance elastic recoil and improve speed and power. Timing is critical to the fascia storing and releasing energy. If the tempo is too slow, the fascia will release the stored energy and more muscle energy will be used instead. Concept 2: Fascial gliding, healing and hydration Fascia consists of both dense, highly organized layers like those that surround muscles, and loose connective tissue layers that contain water, nerves and blood vessels and the cells that create and reorganize fascia. This loose connective tissue layer contains a lot of water and this allows adjacent muscles to glide over each other without catching. Implications for movement training: Move in multiple planes and in all ranges of motion regularly in order to maintain the gliding between the muscle layers. When training for a new activity or recovering from an injury, train regularly in order to create the optimum fascial structure for the activity and to help scar tissue remodel in the direction of stress. It takes 6 to 24 months to make significant changes in fascial structure. Be patient. Myofascial release techniques such as foam rollers or balls push the water out of the tissues. As the tissue rehydrates, fresh water is drawn in, leading to increased nutrition for the cells. Concept 3: Stretching From the myofascial point of view, one does not stretch a muscle but instead stretches a chain of muscles. Implications for movement training: Engage long myofascial chains not isolated joints or areas. Stretch the tissues in multiple vectors and planes rather than a few. Stretch the tissues with active as well as passive stretching. Concept 4: Fascia as a sensory organ One of the most interesting findings to come out of fascial research is the remarkable innervation of fascia. Rather than being a casing like a suit of clothes with no connections to the muscles underneath, fascia is a rich source of information regarding proprioception, movement, speed, velocity and pain. Implications for movement training: Creating fascia that is healthy and well organized will help our bodies move better and will decrease pain and dysfunction. The more I learn, the more it confirms so many of the concepts that are inherent in Pilates, CoreAlign, MOTR, Bodhi, Barre and all of the mind-body training systems Balanced Body supports. To learn more or find resources on fascial research (suggested workshops and books), Nora St. John is Education Program Director for Balanced Body. The concept of myofascial meridians confirmed and reinforced our understanding of the body as an interconnected whole rather than a disconnected bunch of parts. 12

16 What is a Reformer? And what makes Balanced Body Reformers different? The most popular and versatile piece of Pilates equipment, the Reformer opens the door to hundreds of strengthening and stretching exercises. Add in variations on Joseph Pilates original exercises, and the Reformer is limitless in its possibilities. Mat vs. Reformer work In mat work, your body provides both resistance and assistance for Pilates exercises, affected only by gravity and your body weight. Reformers extend the exercise options much further, offering both extra challenge and support along with resistance, to improve overall strength. How does a Reformer work? Springs attached to the Reformer carriage provide resistance or assistance as you push on the footbar or pull on the ropes. How do Reformers differ? All Reformers share a same basic functionality. Balanced Body makes several styles of Reformers to meet differing needs. Balanced Body s classic wood Reformers are the recognized world standard for function, adjustability and beauty. While some prefer the easy storage capability of our portable Reformers, others need Reformers that adjust to a wide variety of body sizes, or can accommodate add-on towers for additional versatility. See our Reformer Comparison Chart at pilates.com. Footbar Pushing off the footbar initiates spring resistance at the start of an exercise. Buying Tip: The more vertical or horizontal adjustability your footbar has, the more accurately the Reformer adjusts to different body sizes and range of motion needs. Footbars that lock provide added safety and security, and offer additional exercise options. Ropes and Risers (or Leather Straps and Casters) Ropes connect the carriage to your hands or feet via pulleys at the head-end of the Reformer. Loops or handles attach the ropes to your hands or feet. Risers at the head-end of the Reformer change the angle of resistance and allow ropes to pass smoothly above the shoulder rests. Alternatively, more traditional Reformers use leather straps and casters. Buying Tip: Look for a rope system that allows quick, secure and easy adjustments between exercises. Springbar The springbar lies at the foot-end of the Reformer. Attaching or detaching springs to the bar changes how much resistance is created when the carriage moves. Buying Tip: An adjustable springbar allows greater accommodation of a user s size, range of motion and ability. 14
17 Springs Springs provide resistance for each exercise, and are color-coded to indicate resistance level. Safety is critical; always use high quality springs, and follow care and replacement guidelines. Buying Tip: Choose springs that have been thoroughly tested for precision, consistency and durability. Nickel-plating prevents corrosion and extends spring durability. Head and Shoulder Rests The headrest provides head and cervical support. Shoulder rests offer stability and comfort. Buying Tip: For effective positioning and maximum comfort, head and shoulder rests should be adjustable and padded. It is also convenient if shoulder rests can be removed for some exercises. Carriage Lie, sit, kneel or stand on the carriage, and move it by pushing against the footbar or pulling the ropes. Buying Tip: Your carriage should be covered with commercial-grade padding and durable upholstery, and the ride should be quiet, smooth and comfortable. Standing Platform The standing platform is aptly named; you stand with one foot on the platform while the other moves the carriage back and forth. Buying Tip: Bigger is better for standing platforms, and a large non-skid surface is an important safety feature. Frame The key to your Reformer s lifespan will be the strength and durability of the frame. The frame houses the other Reformer components; some frames are wood, others are metal. Buying Tip: Wood or metal, choose frames of the highest quality and construction methods, the most durable materials, and with an appropriate height for your needs. Wood frames should be smooth and finished. Sitting Box Placed on the carriage, a Sitting Box increases the exercise options, including seated and prone positions, side stretching and more. Buying Tip: Boxes should be extremely sturdy with durable upholstery and handles for easy lifting. Rounded edges make them more comfortable. Foot Plate Also called a jumpboard, the foot plate is a padded, upright platform that attaches to the foot-end of a Reformer. You can do cardio exercises like running and jumping while lying on the carriage and pushing off the foot plate with your feet. Buying Tip: Bigger is better. Foot plates should be padded and must install securely PILATES / (916) / pilates.com / EQUIPMENT 15

When the oldest of Kate Braestrup's four children was ten years old, her husband, a
Whether she is with parents whose 6-year-old daughter has wandered into the woods, or wardens as they search for a snowmobile rider gone under ice, or a man whose sister left an infant seat and a suicide note in her car by the side of the road, Braestrup provides solace, comfort, and spiritual guidance when it's needed most. And she comes to discover that giving comfort is both a high calling and a precious gift.
In her account of her own life and the events of her unusual job, sometimes joyful, sometimes heartbreaking, Braestrup is warm, unsentimental ("No one is immune to the Plucky Widow story!" she acknowledges), and generous. HERE IF YOU NEED ME is a funny, frank, and deeply moving story of faith and hope.
