Dennis McCarthy (March 19, 1814 – February 14, 1886) was an American manufacturer and politician from New York.
Life[edit]
He was the son of Thomas McCarthy.[1] He attended Valley Academy in Salina and engaged in the manufacturing of salt. In the early 1840s he went into business operating a general store with his brother-in-law Silas Titus.[2]
He was a Democratic member of the New York State Assembly (Onondaga Co.) in 1845, and was Mayor of Syracuse, New York in 1853.
He was elected as a Republican to the 40th and 41st United States Congresses, holding office from March 4, 1867, to March 3, 1871. Afterwards he resumed his former business pursuits.
He was a member of the New York State Senate from 1876 to 1885, sitting in the 99th, 100th, 101st, 102nd, 103rd, 104th, 105th, 106th, 107th and 108th New York State Legislatures; and was President pro tempore in 1881, 1884 and 1885. He became Acting Lieutenant Governor of New York in 1885 after the resignation of Governor Grover Cleveland and the succession of Lt. Gov. David B. Hill to the governorship.
He died in Syracuse, New York on February 14, 1886 and was buried at Saint Agnes Cemetery in Syracuse.[3]
