EANIES A. GARFIELD fell a sacri-
y fee to the spirit of faction and Of
the spoils system. Although this gem
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 tie 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 Il
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 a place Of honor
beside the schOOlmate sweetheart who
had been his faithful companion all
along the road.

that is a slight ossidcation OF the

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 COnklingS
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 As 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 a duel Of factions was on in
blind fury. The administration sue
ceeded in beating Conkling in the sen,
ate, where he opposed the contirma-

senator and his colleague, Thomas G.
