Lily-White Movement


Paul D. Casdorph General Entry

Lily-White Movement.The "lily-white" movement began within the
Republican party after the Civil War. From the first days of
Reconstruction, a fight developed not only in Texas but across the South between White and Black factions for control of the newly formed party.
As White GOP leaders sought "respectability" among Southern voters and a conviction grew that continued "black and tan" involvement thwarted
expansion of the party, the lily-white Republicans began an organized
effort to drive Blacks from positions of party leadership. Though Texas
Blacks appealed to Northern party managers to halt the movement,
lily-whiteism flourished because Republican presidents after 1865 wanted approval from the Southern White masses. The term lily-white apparently originated at the 1888 Republican state convention in Fort Worth, when a
group of Whites attempted to expel a number of black and tan delegates.
Norris Wright Cuney, the Black Texas leader who controlled the state
party from 1883 until his death in 1896, promptly labeled the insurgents "lily-whites," and the term was soon applied to similar groups
throughout the South.

Actually, an organized lily-white movement had begun in Texas during the
1870s, when the party was dominated by former governor Edmund J. Davis.
But once Cuney gained the national committeemanship in 1884 upon the
death of Davis, the lily-whites started a concerted drive for mastery.
Though Cuney was reappointed to the national committee at the 1892
Republican national convention, the Black-White struggle in Texas
resulted in a fractured party and the first GOP state convention without
a black and tan delegation in attendance. The 1892 election proved a
turning point for both GOP factions as Cuney aligned the black and tans
behind George Clark, a conservative Democrat, in his fight with James S.
Hogg, and the lily-whites nominated Andrew Jackson Houston for the governorship. Houston, son of Sam Houston and a future United States
senator, received only 1,322 votes in the November election, while Cuney suffered a dual setback: not only did Clark go down in defeat, but the
Democrat Grover Cleveland won the presidency, so that Cuney lost all
federal patronage.

Southern GOP leaders, Black and White, relied upon the dispensation of
federal jobs to maintain their state organizations; and when Cuney lost
out under Cleveland, the door was opened for a lily-white takeover.
Though Cuney was replaced as national committeeman as well as state
chairman during the 1896 campaign, other black and tan leaders emerged
to lead the state party. Edward H. R. Green (son of multimillionaire
Hetty H. R. Green), who arrived in Texas to oversee his mother's
railroad empire, captured the party after Cuney's downfall by forming a political alliance with William M. (Gooseneck Bill) McDonald, a Black
banker from Fort Worth. The Green-McDonald partnership, however, was
unable to stem the lily-white insurgents, and after Green's withdrawal
as state chairman in 1902, Cecil A. Lyon, a White businessman from
Sherman, took control. Lyon generally spearheaded the party and the
movement in Texas until his death in 1915.

The CANCEL CULTURE is code word meant for poorly educated #TrumpBillies
that are too stupid to comprehend what AT WILL EMPLOYMENT means .. fired
for being an asshole !


Kinda ironic that many work in "right to work" states that discourage
unions. They even voted enthusiastically for people who work to destroy
unions. Now, when the shoes are on their feet they find that it really
sucks. But they're too fucking stupid to connect the dots.
