tortentous. In 1840 it accurately indi-

' fchowed that the Republicans were ia
a terrible condition and in danger of be

into the fight, .and Garfield won by a

overshadowed everything else. Both
Garfield and Hancock were nominated
by shrewd manipulation in the face of
the fact that the majority in each party
preferred another man. Garfield faced
what seemed certain defeat from knif
ing by great leaders In his own party.
The Republican breach was closed by
the milking of many promises, most of
which could not be fulfilled. In the
Democratic party the leaders who were
battling for "reform" were outwitted by
the practical politicians, and the verv
same practical DOlltlclana rnmmttteili
party hara-kiri in the closing daja of
the campaign.
The Republican national convention
at Chicago tn 180 was the scne of the
greatest battle ever fought for a mim
ical nomination. General Grant, having
returned from a triumphal tour around
the world, was an active candidate, for
a third term. He had the support of
hosta of the Republican voters and of
me snouting masses. Jamea O. Blaine
was tne lavorite of the politicians and
of, a majority of the Reoublirans who
were not carried away by the glamor of
uianiB iiiiiiinry mine, maine was tne
moat magnetic leader his party has had.
r.nu nis rouowing was a peiaonal one.
Opposed to BLalne was the able and
austere Roscoe Conkling, senator from
iew iorK. .Because he hated Blaine
rather than because he loved Grant
Lonating lea the Grant forces In the
convention. He placed Grant In noml
nation in the famous speech beginning:
"If you ask what ntxto h h.n. from

And lta famous, apple tree.
Oars' Offeaaa,
John Eherman of Ohio was a serious

The Greenbackers were Injuring the Ke

tton was reversed In later years.
The prospect of a complete overthrow
of Republican power caused the party
leaders to bury their factional differ
ences Conkling at least consented to
call on Garfield. And, as a supreme
sacrifice of personal feeling, Conkling
persuaded General 'Grant to take the
stump for the first time In hla life to
cpeak for Garfield. That stopped the in
cipient revolt wnich threatened irre
trievable disaster to the party.
The Democratic convention met In
June, and, in spite of the sentiment of
nine-tenths of the Democrats of the
country, and in spite of the protests of
its wisest leaders. It nominated Gen
eral Wlnfleld Scott Hancock for presi
dent. It was not that the Democrats
did not like Hancock, for he was very
popular, and -Jiad been mentioned as a
candidate for president in every con
vention since the war.

But the Democrats, and many of the
Independents, too, wanted Samuel J. Til

Although Hayes had made a good

although specie payments had been re-1

do Hayes honor. He hadn't pleased his
own party politicians, and the Demo
crats hated hl-n because they believed
he was president by grace of fraud.
Tammany Hall hated Tllden, and
Tammany Hall told the Democrats at
Cincinnati that they would knife him.
It was a convention of politicians, and

General Hancock, on the other hand

famous statement "The tariff is a local
