yANES A. GARFIELD fell sacri-
81 fee to the spirit Of faction and Of
the sp0ils system. Although this gem
tie, kindly man was not Of the heroic
stu& that martyrs are made Of, his
blood became the seed Of better things
in our politics.

stood on the steps Of the capitol in
the sunshine Of his inaugural day, the
picture of robust American manhood
in its prime. His first kiss, after KISS
inc the Bible in the presence OF a
multitude Of witnesses, was for the
aged mother, who, in g forest hut, had
started him on his way to the White
House and who held place Of honor
beside the schoolmate sweetheart who
had been his faithful companion all
along the road.
"'One thing though lackest yet and
that is q slight ossifcation CT the

TAAIES ABRAI GARFIELD was the
eS latest and. it is fairly safe to say,
the last of the presidents born and
bred in log cabins. Notwithstanding
that humble state, he was one Of the
half-doZen scholarly men whc have sat
in the presidential chair.
Garfield is the only president who
was present at his own nomination.
The presidential lightning struck him
as he sat in mis- seat in. that most eG-
traordinary and exciting national con-
vention which met at Chicago in 1880.
Ali the "Stalwart" clans believing with
st. Louis editor that there was lone
more president in the bloody Shirt
seized upon the great name of Grant,
and under the banner Of the Hero OF
Appomattox' they rallied against the
'Half Breeds" who followed "the
Plumed Knight" James G. Blaine OF
Maine.
The rival champions in that remark
able tournament at Chicago were Ros-
soc Conkling, chieftain cf the "Stal-
warts" and James A. Garfield Of Ohio,
the spokesman Of the Half Breeds, .

T HE tidal wave which swept down
& the Republicans in the congress
sional elections of 1874 still was run
ming so strongly in the campaign OF
i 1876 that Rutherford 3. Hayes himself
never was confident Of his success.
Nor was the country surprised to read
in the headlines the morning after cleo
ti0u that Tilden, tie Democratic candi-
date, had Won tie race.
The Republican national heaGquar-
ters in New York city shut up shop
early election night, and the lsenub-
lican campaign managers went to bed
resigned to defeat.
! Tilden was elected or the face o.
the returns, with 2C3 electoral votes
to 106 for Hayes, and bad also a
plurality Of 100000 in the popular vote.
His election indeed rested Oh the same
basis as Cleveland's in 1854 and VIII
sons in 1916 But in 1916 the EeplD-
licians had not yet acquiesced in the
suppression Of the negro vote in the
South. And if the negroes had not
been "persuaded' by various means
from going to the polls, Tilaen could
not have been elected.

With these watchwords Hayes had
sacrificed himself and his administra
ton to reunite North aud South, to
cleanse the civil service and to regen-
crate tie Republican party. Sc qui-
city, so coldly, so automatically did
he so about all those great objects
that he remained to the end of his
term one Of the most misunderstood
most underestimated presidents, the
Republican leaders hating him as an
apostate and the Democrats despis-
ing him as 4 fraud.
He selected one of the most dis
tinguiShed cabinets in history. But
ne did it without consulting party
leaders or considering the claims OF
factions, and the offended senate
threatened and muttered fer nearly
a week before it confirmed the nomi-
nations. TO the disgust Of practical
politicians" he "threw away high
class foreign mission or man like
james Russell Lowell, "a dashed lit
erary feller,' as Senator Cameron
said, and he enraged Roscoe Conk-
ling by fiinging the political machine

federal Offices in New York city. He
would also have made start toward

would have made his administration
wholly his own, lifting it above fac
TONS and he might have lived through
q PROSPEROUS term. Instead, he re-
mained his few months in the White
House what he had been in congress,
lieutenant OF Blaine, whom he ap-
pointed to the secretaryship Of state
with the love of a comradeship OF
eighteen years''-and who became at
once the power behind the throne.
The only president to step directly
from the caritol to the White House,
he was without executive experience or
tastes. His whole training had been
to debate and compromise, not to act
o. decide ON his sele responsibility.
Garfield himself was rather indiifer-
ent TO factions. liking to Get along with
all men. He appreciated Conkl:Hgs
reluctant but timely support in the
campaign and invited him out TO Men
tor in the winter to talk over the New
York patronage. He thought of lnFlt-
ing him into the cabinet Itself, until
Blaine whispered no.

his seat. Garfield told the senator that

the removal of the civil service from
politics and spoils-mongering had not
both parties combined in congress to
thwart his every effort in that direc-
ton.
Hayes boldest challenge to the
Republican politicians was his aban
donment Of their 12-year struggle to
reconstruct the Southern states from
Washington. Ever since congress
had seized from Lincoln's lifeless
hand the control Of reconstruction,
the entire proceeding had been a
tragic failure.
Hayes came to the presidency in
the depths Of an industrial prostra-
ton wher wandering bands Of
tramps thronged the highways of the
land, ard soon the first great railway
strike paralyzed transportation be-
tween the Atlantic and the MisSis-
sippi. In response to the popular cry
for "more money" both parties in
congress were for repeating or modi-
flying the resumption act and for in
hating the currency with greenbacks
on silver coinage. The president
firmly resisted such a surrender. Had
not his veto Of the silver bill been
overridden he would have saved the
country from taking the first step on
the road that led it 10 the brink Of
free silver in 1896.
All this independence cost Hayes
the support Of the political time serv-
ers and the applause OF the partisan
press. These united in denouncin"
and ridiculing him as a renegade III
politics and as sniveiiDg hypclrite
in private lie.
The White House event dry FOR
the first time under the Hayes, and
the president was held up to con-
tempt rs a man too stingy to stand
treat ard 700 weak to resist a doml-
neerinG wife.
Hayes found the North and South
divided and he left them more nearly
reunited than they had been in a
generation. He found the national
currency PAGER and he left it &oI'i
and silver. He found the prosperity
OF, the country at dead low jide and
he left it 1T high tide.

although he was restrained from di-
rectly supporting Blaine by the ,instruc-

nation of John Sherman. Conkling, a
handsome fop, carefully studied the
right moment to make his theatrical
entry Upon the stage the first day,
drawing the applause as he advanced
down the aisle with his "grandiloquent

wrote on the margin of newspaper
and sent to Garfield mocking suggeS-
tion that he was playing to the gal

In truth Garfield could not rise in

came plain that neither the Immortal
