fell to Republican Judge, Joseph 7.
Bradley Of New Jersey. Every dis
puted case WAS decided III Hayes IA
vor by party vote OF eight to seven.
The election of Hayes was declared
March 2, TWO days before President
Grants term expired. 1t was the gen
cral belief that, in case the result had
been delayed past March 4, Grant
would have claimed the right to hold
over, pending decision.
Ia his story Of this controversy in
the History of the American People,
Woodrow Wilson said:
Such commission was undoubted-
~ an extra constitutional body and its
decisions disappointed the country of
any display Of judicial impartiality it
may have hoped from it. Mr.. Justice
Bradley, who was chosen by his fel-
low Justices of the commission to be
the fifteenth member OF the tribunaI,
voted in every instance III favor of the
Republican claims, as did every other
member OF the commission, whether
Judge, Senator or Representative,
whose affiliations were with the Re
publican party. Every Democrat on
the committee voted in favor Of the
claim of the Democratic managers.
Every question submitted was settled
by 4 vote Of S to :, but there WAS at
least a settlement, which no one
dreamed Of disputing OF attempting to
annuI. Gen. Grant gave way TO Mr..
Hayes and the Government remained
in the hands Of the Republicans.
In subsequent elections, New York
and Indiana became known as the two
pivotal States, and it was believed that
no candidate VINO lost both Of them
could be successful.
The vote Of New lori, decided the
extremely close election Of 1881, when
Grover Cleveland and James q. Blaine
We're the opposing candidates. The
early returns were favorable 20 Blaine,
and it appeared that he could win
with the vote of New York, or with
Indiana and either Connecticut or New
Jersey. Close votes in the latter three
states resulted in small pluraljties for
Cleveland in each. and for several days
the New York result was in doubt.
