During this administration the resump-

The movement by which it was planned

term as President, in 1880, attracted great
attention. General Grant had made re-
markable tour around the world and his
name was before the public constantly.
Senators Conkling, Cameron and Logan
strongly favored q denomination. The
struggle which took place at the RepubIi-
can National Convention is memorable.
1t is not proposed to give an account of
that convention here in detail. The "304'
who voted for General Grant on the first
ballot were 306 on the last or thirty-sixth
ballot, which insured the nomination of
James A. Garfield. The first ballot stood |:
Grant 304, Blaine 2S4, Sherman SO, Ed
munds "a, Washburne 80, Window 10, Gar
field l. On the thirty sixth ballot the Blaine
and Sherman delegates changed to Garfield.
Garfield's nomination was made unani-
nous on motion of Roscoe Conkling.
Chester A. Arthur was nominated for
Vice-President. The platform which was
adopted repeated the avowal of 1876 con-
corning protective tariff approved the
restriction OF Chinese immigration, fay-
ored civil service reform, accused the
Democrats of sustaining fraudulent elec-
tions, with unseating members of Con-
gress who had been lawfully chosen. and

this direction, three
amendments are briefly summarized as
follows: Thirteenth-This provided that
neither slavery nor involuntary servi-
tude shall exist in the United States,
or in any place subject to National
jurisdiction. Fourteenth-Advanced the
negro to the status of citizen, but did
nothing affirmatively to confer the right
of suffrage upon him. Fifteenth-Forbade
the United States or any State to abridge
the right to vote on account of race. color
or previous condition of servitude.
The fifteenth amendment was men
toned by General Grant in his inaugural
address. He expressed the hope that it
would be ratified and settle the question
of suffrage. The first year of General
Grants administration made James 6.
Blaine Speaker of the House. The prin-
cipal interest in General Grants first term
centered in the negotiations for treaty
for the annexation of San Domingo, which
treaty was rejected by the Senate by a tie
vote, % to %. In 1870 Virginia, Mississippi
and Texas were once more admitted to the
privileges accorded to the other States of
the South, having fulfilled all the require
ments prescribed by legislation. The
Legislature of Georgia having expelled
colored men from seats in the State Legis-
lature, Congress enacted that before the
Senators and Representatives of Georgia
could be seated the fifteenth amendment
to the constitution must be ratified by
that State and this was done. General
Grant presided during period of much

about brilliant success by resnmine

The logic OF events foreshadowed that
James G. Blaine, who was among the most
brilliant and indefatigable exponents Of
the tariff for protection to American in

State under Garfield added Iuster to
his already great reputation. He con-
ceived the idea of a peace congress of all
independent governments of North and
South America to meet at Washington to
agree, it possible, upon some compreben-
sive plan for averting war by means oi
arbitrating, and for resisting the intrigues
OF European diplomacy as a measure
toward closer relationship with our CONT

Cham berlain and Wade Hampton both

The United States troops were with

charge of the State. A commission was
sent to New Orleans by President Hayes
and it was arranged that the Democratic
government, headed by Nichols, should
continue; that the troops should be with
drawn from the defense of Packard and
that Republicans should not be subject to
prosecutions for political reasons. Pack
ard then withdrew. These events gave
rise to what was known as the ''stalwar
Republicans, who disapproved of the
Presidents course.
During the Hayes administration civil
service reform became subject of discus
sion. General Grant had in the executive
chair created commission by which rules
were prescribed for the examination of
candidates for Office. President Hayes
tried to carry out civil service reform and
issued an order directing off1ce-holders to
avoid taking part in party work.

The story of the various occurrences in
the South during the progress of recon-
struction are of common knowledge. "In
the course of eight years of President
Grants administration" says Smalley,
"the white Democrats of the South suc-
ceeded in getting possession of all their
States except South Carolina, Florida and
Louisiana-overcomin the Republican
majorities by system of intimidation,
violence and fraud"
General Grant was renominated for
President at Philadelphia in June, 1872
For the first time colered men sat as dele
gates in Republican National Conven-
ton. The denomination of Grant, like his
first nomination, was unanimous. Henry
Wilson of Massachusetts was nominated
for Vice. President. The platform set forth
that the amendments to the constitution

Rutherford B. Hayes became the Presi-

considered the leading candidate before
the convention assembled. Other promi-
nent candidates were Oliver P. Morton OF
Indiana, Roscoe Conkling of New York,
Benjamin F. Bristow of Kentucky and
John f. Hartranft of Pennsylvania. Blaine
was defeated by a combination between
the followers of Morton, Conkling, Hart
ranft and Hayes and part of the Bristow
following, resulting in the nomination OF
Hayes on the seventh ballot. William A.
Wheeler of New York was nominated for
Vice-President. The Democrats put in the
field a ticket, naming Samuel ]. Tilden OF

The popular vote was: Grant, 1857, ,070;

the war this debt was reduced by the sum
of nearly $S00,0oo,00 while, at the same
time, the Government reduced its revenue
to the amount OF $140, 600 per annum
by repeating long series OF internal rev.

100000 had been paid from the treasury
toward the construction of the Union and
Central Pacific railroads, and 1920, 900
was paid to the Russian Government on
account of the purchase of Alaska. The
expenses included the disbandment of the
Union army and very large addition to
the pension list.
The Republican convention of 1868 met
at Chicago, May 16. 1t was foregone
conclusion that General Grant would be
Presidential nominee of the party. Gen.
eral Hawiey was made permanent chair
man of the gathering. The platform ad-
vanced as conspicuous issues equal suf-
frage and the maintenance of the public
faith. The past policy of the party was
indorsed. President Johnson was severely
condemned for his acts. The nomination
of General Grant was made by General
John A. Logan. General Grant was
unanimously nominated when the roll
was called. Schuyler Colfax was NOM
mated for Vice-President. The letter of
acceptance written by General Grant will

The Democratic platform declared for
"a tariff for revenue only" and op-
posed Chinese immigration. The cam
paign was made one of protection ver-
sus free trade. The fraudulent "Morey
letter." concerning Chinese immigration,
which was made public when it was too
late for investigation, lost some electoral
votes for Garfield He carried every North
ern State except New Jersey and Nevada.
He had one electoral vote in California.
General Hancock carried every Southern
State. The feature OF this election was the
consolidation of the Southern vote. The
nopular vote was as follows: Garfield, 4, ,449, :
053. Hancock, 4.442, ,035; Weaver, 307, ,306;
scattering, 1856, of which Neal Dow, the
Prohibition candidate, received 1O,S05.
The quarrel between the 'stalwarts
and "half-b breed" Republicans in New
York State was very bitter during the Gar
field administration. An open rupture
was caused between President Garfield
and the "stalwarts," who were led by Sem
ator Conkling, by the appointment OF w.

the port of New York. Robertson was

and proceeded to Albany to secure their
reelection as an act of vindication. In
this they were disappointed. The politi-

as follows: "Having declared that the

reality on every inch of American soil
they (the Republican party) put in
nomination a military chieftain who
stands at the head of that system of
despotism which crushes beneath it's feet
the greatest principles of the Declaration
of Independence" There were two planks
in the platform which attracted more than
passing comment. The first declared
'that all obligations of the Government
not payable by their express terms in coin
ought to be paid in lawful money" The
second declaration denounced the recon-
struction acts of Congress.
General Grant carried all the States with
the exception of Delaware, Georgia, Ken
lucky, Louisiana, Maryland, New York,
New Jersey and Oregon. Three States
had not passed through reconstruction
Virginia, Mississippi and Texas-and they
had no vote. Grant had PA electoral votes
and Seymour 80. The popular vote was as
