On the Sth OF June. 1880. In the city Of
Chicago, closed contest that will ever be
memorable in American politics. For
seven long days more than 800 of the 1855
delegates of the Republican National Con-
vention stubbornly contended for. the
nomination of Ulysses s. Grant for q third
presidential term. Battling against the
bitterest and most formidable opposition,
having in league against them ali the res.
of the convention, these 800 and more men,
cheered now and again by few vacillat-
ing accessions, stood like living wall
around the Grant standard, and from first
to last, for thirty-six baIlotings, cast their
votes for the ex-president. When the bal
loting began, 304 votes out of the 756 in the
convention stood for Grant, and when at
length. after. the third day Of balloting, q
stampede was made away from Blaine and
Sherman and the other field candidates,
to the unlooked-for and unpresented man,
Garfield, and suddenly piled 1893 votes

been let loose and the legislature and the
gamblers go on their evil way rejoicing.
The stories Of the recent senatorial fight
still fill the air, and no one pretends to
say that money by the tens of thousands
OF dollars was not spent in the
contest. As to just how this NOM
ey was given out is not known,
but arm told that thirty-seven 81, 600 notes
were presented at single Helena bank for
exchange on the day following the ad.
journment of the Montana legislature, and
another story is that 200 81. 600 notes were
sent from Helena to the East shortly after
the 4th of March. A single legislator is
said to have received as high as $4,000 for
his vote, and it is stated that one of tho
candidates. after spending what would be
fortune in any other city in the United
States, lost it all by refusing
to give something like $4,000 be-
cause he thought he could buy the
man for 500. The story Of the senatorial
contest may come out in a future investi-
CATION before the United States senate.

clusion would fill . book, and can only

gathered in other lands, could give an
administration that would be the most
brilliant since Jefferson's, yet he thought
successful election contest doubtful.
The task would be difficult enough for a
president in power. with the control of
range for third term. But much more
difficult was that task for Grant, who was
not in power and had no friends among
the members of the existing cabinet. Mr..
Young pointed to the revolts in the Re-
publican ranks IN New York. Pennsyl-
vania and Illinois as still moro serious.
observing that the party was 80 torn that
Grant would enter the field not rs con-
queror upon whom honor had clustered
every garland, but as gladiator. from an
arena where he had been tossed and tum-
BLEED by every Daclan that could be thrown
against him."
To this Grant replied, briefly. that he no
longer held the views he had expressed
at Malaga for two reasons. One OF these
was that he was being savagely attacked
by Blaine's literary bureau. which charged
him with being in with the whisky ring
and with being . whisky thief" For
this he deemed it almost duty to run and
defeat Blaine. The other reason was that
he believed he was the only man whom
chance of carrying the South. He be-
Iieved he could carry six Southern states.
and thus save the country from the re-
dictionary policy of Southern Democracy.
There were other reasons Tor Grants
change besides those he assigned. 1t was
we'll known that the ambition of his FAM
lily, who desired to again enjoy their for
mer privileges. had much to do in chang
ing his position from that taken ut Ma
laga.
But, though he had fully made up his
mind to run. and though his anger
against Blaine had made him anxious to
do it. Grant was nevertheless sensibly
affected by the counsel of such disinter-
ested friends as Young Drexel and Childs,
and he sat down a few days before the
convention met and Of his own volition
wrote letter to Senator Cameron. chair
man Of the national committee, and one
of the leaders of the Grant forces at Chi
cago. giving his reasons for consenting to
be candidate for nomination, but saying
that If in the opinion of certain of his
friends the nomination seemed inadvisable
then his name should be withdrawn.
This letter Mr.. Young carried to Chi
cago. Senator Cameron said he would lay
it before the generals friends. The details
of the conference over it have never been
published, but it is known that the letter
got into Conkling's hands and never left
them. He, at least, was determined that
Grant should run for the nomination, ap-
parently impressed with the conviction
that Grant would win. Nor in the years
afterwards, when Grant consented to have
the letter published, would Conkling re-
linquish it, for the reason, Mr.. Young sus-
poets. of not desiring to be placed in the
position before the world of being perhaps
the only man who at the last moment in
sisted on Grants making an attempt for
third term. HENRY GEORGE, JR
