The official pamphlet Of the Re-
publican National Committee contain
ing the account of the Chicago Con-
vention shows that the vote which
nominated Garfield came-215 from
from Blaine, 80 from Sherman, 10 from
Washburne. IL from Edmunds, from
Grant and from Window. When the
time came for Presidential recogni-
ton of the work done at Chicago the s
votes of Window became equal, after
the manner of lotteries, to the 2i5 Of
Blaine, and, on the same principle. tho

publicans go for the man they resortcd
to unheard-of frauds and crimes TO put

breakdown that our Presidential history
wished for second term rs soon rs he
had entered on n .one-term' Presidency;
and to clear the way for n renomination
he supposed it would be necessary 70
set up something that should be pecu-
liarly his own, and that could be .polit-
ically patented. He found his level
when his term was about half over. and
himself altogether used mp. There
never was q dcader man in the Presi-
Dental chair than General Hayes In
