but there is no good reason to sup
pose tha. # Fremont had remained in
the fielo III the election the result
would have been altered in a single

perlously narrow in some of the i'm

Before Lincoln ! in 1864 the only
PR 1sidential nomination which could
have been foretold was Clay's in 1874

, and to this fact some of his friends
attributed his success in getting the
candidacy Wit vt opposition in that
year. He ha. been the f2vorite OF
the Whig masses for the nominate ion

by few of the Whig bosses in the
convention, which was held in Harris

unanimous Grants case was peculiar
in this respect that for time there
was some fear on the part of few
of the Republican leaders that he
would be appropriated by the Demo
Gratis. He had been a Democrat be-
fore the war, and as he had no chance
to vote during the war his politics Was
in some doubt for a short time after
that conflict There was 81 much
gomery Blair who like his brother
and his father, was back in the Demo
cratic party by tnat time, made some
overtures to Grant in 1867 in relation
to the Democratic candidacy, but Grant
refused to entertain them. In 1867,
though, the reconstruction fight be-
tween the Republican Congress and
the Democratic president, Johnson,
had gone SO far that ant hcf be-
come, in ne degree, involved, and
he leaned :, the Republican position
in the controversy. His affiliations,
too, were entirely with the Republl-
cans from the time the war endeu.
While a few of the Republican chief
tains might fear that the Democrats
would confiscate Grant, there was no
doubt in the minds of the majority of
the party leaders at the seat of gov
ernment as to Grants attitude on the
issues of the day His military repu,
tation. Of course. was what suggested
him for the nomination. and the Re
publicans wele enabled to utilize it IN
their canvass.
Some opposition to Lincoln among
the Republicans was shown in the
early part of 1864. Chase, the secre-
tary of tie treasury, was an aspirant
fcr tae nomination, but it was soon
made plain, even by Chase's own state,
hat the ma. S of the Republicans
wanted Lincoln for another IN. The
radical section of the party. which had
many representatives in Missouri, B.
Gratz Brown being among them. put
Fremont forward as an exponent of TIE
stalwart emaneipationists, and he was
nominated by acGlamation in a conven-
ton held in Cleveland a week before
the Baltimore gathering which re-
nominated LIZ a0ln John Cochrane

was mentioned in connection with the
candidacy as the convention approach
ed. although some other aspirants
were in the field, or imagined they
were, earlier in the Cleveland term.
But in the case of the Republicans,
-oSS saw one of the longest and most
exciting contests in the partys his
tory. Eight ballots were required to
make a choice. and the convention last
ed six days. The uncertainty was due
to the circumstance that Blaine had
already twice refused to accept the
candidacy When the convention met,
though there was feeling on the
TART of many delegates that Blame
co, BE induced to accept if the noml-
nation were extended to him. On this
account he received votes on every
ballot The leader IN the voting fr
a long time in the 1885 convention
was John Sherman. but the drift 20
ba4.oling at the outset. started in the
after part of the convention. and the
movement in his direction became de-
cided on the last division.
