▪ American politician
born Aug. 29, 1826, Concord, Mass., U.S.
died Sept. 30, 1904, Worcester, Mass.
American politician who was one of the leading organizers of the Republican Party and a lifelong crusader for good government.
Hoar graduated from Harvard College (1846) and Harvard Law School (1849) and then went into private law practice in Worcester. His political life, which spanned more than half a century, began with his support of the Free Soil Party. During the 1850s he was busily organizing the Republican Party in Massachusetts while serving terms in both houses of the state legislature. He did not enter national politics until elected to the House of Representatives in 1869, but then he was in the House (1869–77) and the Senate (1877–1904) continuously for the rest of his life.
Hoar served on several important committees in both houses of Congress, and he was a member of the electoral commission selected to determine the winner of the Hayes-Tilden presidential contest in 1876. For many years he was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and he drafted the Presidential Succession Act of 1886.
Hoar fought for civil-service reform, and he was an outspoken opponent of the American Protective Association—an anti-Catholic, anti-immigrant organization. He broke with his own party in protesting imperialistic U.S. policies toward the Philippines after the Spanish-American War, but he was so greatly admired for his honesty that he was decisively re-elected (1901–07).
Always interested in education and scholarship, Hoar served as an overseer of Harvard, trustee of the Worcester Polytechnic Institute and Clark University, regent of the Smithsonian Institution, and president of the American Antiquarian Society and the American Historical Association.
