Rockingham post-dispatch. [volume] (Rockingham, N.C.) 1917-1965, 1920-12-09

JAMES A. GARFIELD fell a sacri-
y fee to the spirit Of faction and Of
the spoils system. Although this gen.
tie, kindly man was not Of the heroic
stuff that martyrs are made of, his
blood became the seed Of better things
in our politics.
Rarely if ever has president taken
up the burden Of the Office with larg-
er measure of good will from the peo-
pie, regardless Of party and Of fac
ton, than flowed out to Garfield as he
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
ing the Bible in the presence of a
multitude Of witnesses, was for the
aged mother, who, In 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 slight Justification Of the
heart" John Hay had written to the
president-elect. This lack was fatal.
Had his heart been harder, Garfield

JAMES ABRAM GARFIELD was the
- latest and, 1t 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 who 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 his seat in that most ex-
traordinary and exciting national con-
vention which met at Chicago in 1880.
All the "Stalwart" clans, believing with
a 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 1.-THE
PIumed Knight" James G. Blaine of
Maine.
The rival champions in that remark
able tournament at Chicago were Ros-
soc Conkling, chieftain Of the "Stal.
warts" and James A. Garfield Of Ohio,
the spokesman Of the Half Breeds,
Rockingham post-dispatch. [volume] (Rockingham, N.C.) 1917-1965, 1920-12-09

although he was restrained from d.
rectly supporting Blaine by the instruc-
tons of his state in favor of the nomi-
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
swell, his majestic supereminent, over
powering, turkey gobbler strut" which
Blaine had held up to the laughter of
congress years before in never-to-be-
forgiven speech. The next day Gar
field took his revenge by entering while
Conkling was speaking, and the well
coming cheers drowned the voice Of
the indignant speaker. On the third
day the two came to grips in a de-
bate and the Ohioan scored or the New
Yorker.
While the gallery still was cheer
ing the victor in that round, COnkling
wrote on the margin of a newspaper
and sent to Garfield a hooking sugges-
ton that he was playing to the gal
lery in his own interest: Il congrat-
ulate you on being a dark hOrse!"
In truth Garfield could not rise in
the convention without helping HIM
self more than he helped Sherman,
who never had a chance to win. AS
ballot after ballot was taken, it be-
came plain that neither the Immortal
3O6" who followed Grant nor the deaf
ening cheers which his name evoked
could overcome the prejudice against
a third term in the White House, and it
was made equally plain that this "Old
Guard" never would surrender to
Blaine.
A new candidate was necessary II
the convention was not to fall to
pieces in factions. One solitary vote
for Garfield on most of the ballots had
continued to point the finger Of des-
tiny at him. Wisconsin pointed all her
fingers in his direction when her dele
cation broke to him on the thirty
fourth ballot.
Garfield rose with pallid face and
dry lips to a point of order. But Sen.
ator Hoar Of Massachusetts,, who was
in the chair, raped him down. In two
more ballots he was nominated BY q
combination Of the Blaine and Sher
man men.
In the midst Of the uproar the nsmi'
nee sat limp and perspiring In his seat
"Get me out Of here" he family whis-
pered to his seatmate, Ex-Governol
Foster Of Ohio.

would have made his administration
wholly his own, lifting it above fac
lions, and he might have lived through
a prosperous term. Instead, he re-
manned his few months in the White
House what he had been in congress,
a lieutenant Of Blaine, whom he APP
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 capitol to the White House,
he was without executive experience or
| tastes. His whole training had been
to debate and compromise, not to act
or decide on his sole responsibility.
Garfield himself was rather indiffer-
ent to factions, liking to get along with
all men. He appreciated Conkling's
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 invit-
ing him into the cabinet itself, until
Blaine whispered no.
Less than three weeks after he took
his seat, Garfield told the senator that
he was not yet ready to consider the
question of filling the New York Of
fees. Only 48 hours afterward, he fill
ed them, nominating for the highest of
those offices Blaine's best friend and
Conkling's worst enemy in New York.
With Garfield's hand, Blaine had
thrown down the gauntlet to the
naughty chieftain of the "Stalwart"
clan and duel Of factions was on in
blind fury. The administration sue
ceeded in beating Conkling in the SEN
ate, where he opposed the confirms
ton of the offensive nominee. But the
senator and his colleague, Thomas @.
Plat, resigned their seats and appeal
ed to the New York legislature to re-
elect them as q vindication Of their
course.
When the conflict was bitterest and
when the "Stalwarts" were losing at
Albany, a disappointed place hunter at
Washington, Charles J. Guiteau, con-
ceived the mad idea Of saving the sit
uation with pistol shot, and he posted
himself at the railway station, where
his victim was to take train for Mas
sachusetts. The president was going
back to williams college, the goal Of
his struggling youth, and was smiling
like q boy on for vacation as he
entered the waiting room at the rail-
way station with Blaine at his side.
IN two flashes q "a revolver he fell.

That truth is stranger than fic-

OF a story of a type which was met

That detracts nothing from the
charm OF the inspectors account,
given for the first time, and taken
from the police records.
Briefly, the chief inspector some
time ago was making a close and
exhaustive search for a clever fcrger
concerned in some extensive frauds,
and the trail led him into a small
village in the interior Of England.
on the outskirts of the town he
met an old man. who is an educated
gentleman, polished in conversation.
and one Of the little cOmmunity's
most respected residents.
But-sOmething he said gave the
inspector clew TO his identity as
