Specie Payment Resumed.

The administration of President
Hayes was marked by the resumption
Of specie payment, as promised by the
platform upon which lie was elected.
Tho Bland silver purchase bill was
promptly disapproved by President
Hayes, but, despite that, became law,
the Democratic congress passing 1t
again over his veto.
The national convention of 1880 met
at Chicago June 10. Grant, despite the
prejudice against third term, went
to the convention with more delegates
pledged to him than any other candi-
date Blaine was his strongest oppo-
nent. John Sherman, secretary Of the
treasury, was next. On the first bal
lot Grant had 304 votes, Blaine 2S4 and
Sherman 90. For thirty-four ballots
had been steadily voting for James A..
Garfield of Ohio since the second bal
lot. On the thirty-dfth his vote rose
to fifty, and on the next ballot the anti
Grant factions stampeded to him, and
he was nominated. Chester A. Arthur
of New York was nominated for vice
president The Democrats nominated
General w. S. Hancock and William
Fl. English. Garfield and Arthur re-
ceived Old electoral votes to 155 for the
Democratic ticket.
The Assasun's Bullet.
With James G. Blaine. his warm per-
scnal friend, as secretary Of state. the
| administration of President Garfield
was full of promise until on July 2,
less than four months after his inau-
| gurntion, the bullet of the assassin
Guiteau snuffed out the life Of this
wonderful man, who had risen to the
chief magistracy Of the greatest ma
ton on earth from the humble position
Of a canal team driver Garfield
passed away at Elberon. N. j., Sept.
10. Vice President Chester A. Arthur
was Immediately sworn in as presi-
dent.
The calamity howlers were loud 81
their predictions that the ship Of state
would be wrecked, inasmuch as candl-
dates for vice president are never con-
sidered seriously as presidential posi-
bilities. But again the Grand Old Par
ty triumphantly breasted the storm,

Ing admitted even by the Democrats to
have been particularly clean and

which the Republican party was called
upon to decide was that of specie re-
sumption. To disown the paper money
which Republican administration had
issued in the stress of civil war and
thus to endanger the party supremacy
required nerve, foresight and skill.
Ohio was made the first battle-ground
in the fight for hard money. Success
there was followed by the nomination
of the successful gubernatorial candi-
date. Rutherford B. Hayes, for the
presidency.
Hayes For Pyesidsnt.
The national convention Of 1915 met
In Cincinnati on the 14th/ of June.
Its platform reaftirmed the platform
of 1872, adding demands for specie re-
sumption and the reform of the civil
service. James G. Blaine, Oliver p.
Morton and Benjamin II. Bristow led
through several ballots. On the sew
enth there was a break to Blaine, but
enough votes were changed to Ruther-
ford B. Hayes. who had received sixty
votes on the first ballot and had been
steadily gaining. to give him the nomi-
nation. William A. Wheeler of New
York was nominated for the vice presi-
dency with little opposition.
The ensuing campaign. the Demo-
cratic candidates being Samuel j. Til
den Of New York and Thomas A. Hen
bricks of Indiana, was one Of the most
bitterly contested In the history of the
republic. The states Of Oregon, Loui-
siana, Florida and South Carolina were
Justify claimed by the Democrats. The
matter seemed impossible of amicable
adjustment until the Republican party,
secure in Its knowledge that justice
was on its side, suggested an electoral
commission to pass upon disputed re-
turns from the various states. This
commission was to consist of five mem
bers of the United States senate, five
members Of the national house Of rep.
reSentatiyes and five associate justices
Of the supreme court, four of whom
were mentioned by districts mot by
name) in the act providing for the com
mission. These four were to select the
uIIu memDer. ne SENATE SeleCLeu
George &. Edmunds, Vermont; Oliver
P. Morton, Indiana; Frederick I. Ere
linghuysen, New Jersey; Thomas Il
Bayard, Delaware. and Allen G. Thur
man, Ohio. III health compelled Mr.
Thurman to resign from the commits
sion. and Francis Herman, New York
was substituted. The following mem
bers acted In behalf of the house: Hen
ry B. Payne, Ohio; Eppa Hunton, yir
GINA; Josiah G. Abbott, Massachusetts
Il James A. Garfield, Ohio. and George Z
Hoar. Massachusetts. The four asso
ciate justices Of the supreme cour
practically designated by the act were
Nathan Clifford, William Strong, Sam
uel F. Miller and Stephen j. Field
These four selected Justice Joseph p
Bradley. The justice of the Repub
lican contentious was upheld by til,
electoral commission, and thus, through
Republican tolerance, what might hay
been a national crisis was averted.
