Alexander Mackenzie: New York
built 656 days ago
Alexander Mackenzie [1923-2002] studied at Liverpool School of Art before moving permanently to Cornwall, where he became one of the St. Ives group of artists and a member of the Penwith Society. His one-man exhibitions include 3 at the Waddington Gallery [London] and 2 at Durlacher FIne Art [New York]. A recent exhibition at Austin/Desmond Fine Art [London] was a great success. Alexander Mackenzie work is included in many public collections including the Tate Gallery [London] and the Arts Council.

When Brown ran in Toronto in the general election of 1857–58, Hope Mackenzie, not Alexander, took the Reform nomination in Lambton. Perhaps Alexander felt that his political reputation had been permanently besmirched by a libel suit that Cameron had brought against him in 1854. An editorial in the Lambton Shield, which Mackenzie had been carrying in editorial and financial terms from 1852, had suggested that Cameron had been involved in a clear-cut case of corruption. Mackenzie lost the suit, had to meet court costs and a £20 award, and, because of the financial pressure, was forced to close the newspaper. The case certainly brought him his first moments of political loneliness.

Mackenzie seems to have been prepared to fight even the pettiest issues with dogged persistence. In late July 1870, Major Augustus Warren, the officer commanding the detachment of the 78th at Saint John, New Brunswick, submitted to regimental headquarters in Halifax a stationery bill amounting to $13.95. Mackenzie thought it was too high and refused to pay. The matter was referred to Doyle who ruled that Mackenzie should pay. Mackenzie still refused... and Warren again referred the matter to Doyle. On 3 August the acting commander-in-chief, Augustus Ansell, upheld Doyle's original decision. Mackenzie, however, made yet another appeal.

Mackenzie faced many national economic problems as prime minister, chiefly because he served during a worldwide depression. But he strengthened the new nation by promoting honest, democratic government and greater independence from the United Kingdom. He won respect for his determination, hard work, and honesty.
