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, -
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 q 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 q de-
bate and the Ohioan scored on the New
Yorker.
While the gallery still was cheer
ing the victor in that round. Conkling
wrote on the margin of newspaper
and sent TO Garfield a mocking sugges-
ton that he was playing to the gal

ulate you on being dark horse!"
In truth Garfield could not rise in
the convention without helping HIM

came plain that neither the Immortal

could overcome the prejudice against

was made equally plain that this "old

Blaine.

JAMES A. GARFIELD fell a sacri-
~ 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 win 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
multitude of witnesses. was for the
aged mother, who, in a 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,
"'One thing though lackest yet and
that is a slight ossifcation Of the
heart" John Hay had written to the
president-elect. This lack was fatal.
Had his heart been harder, Garfield
would have made his administration
wholly his own, lifting it above fac
lions, and he might have lived through
prosperous term. Instead. he re-
manned 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 comradeshtp of
eighteen years'-and who became at
once the power behind the throne.
The only president 10 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.

his seat, Garfield told the senator that

BIOGRAPHICAL
A Short Sketch Of Mr.. Med onoueh's Life
and Work.

River, where he has practiced law for
thirteen years. He soon became rec
ognized by the legal fraternity as a
lawyer Of ability and promise. Mr..
McDonough has been closely identified
with many large business enterprises
throughout the Upper Peninsula as
attorney and counselor and has won
many notable civil and criminal cases
in court. He is sympathetic lawyer
and has defended many important
criminal cases without compensation,
purely with the commendable thought
Of indicating a client in whom he
believed. He is born leader of men
and is universally liked by all who
know him. He has repeatedly been
elected to Office by the people of Iron
county and has served as prosecutor
for four terms.
In 1917, Mr.. McDonough resigned as
Prosecuting Attorney and gave up an
exceptionally comfortable position in
civil life to enter the United States
army. After the required service at
Camp Sheridan, he was commissioned
a Captain and served throughout the
war. On his return from the army,
Ex-senator Moriarty, who had held
the office of Prosecutor during Captain
McDonough's absence, insisted on re-
signing in his favor and Mr.. McDon-
ough has since held that Office. He
has been active in enforcing the laws
as they are written so that at the pre-
sent time Iron county is one OF the
cleanest counties in the state from a
law enforcement standpoint.

Martin s. McDonough of Iron River,
Iron county, Michigan, was born at
Oconto, Wisconsin, on February 21st,
1885. On February next, he will be
80 years old. He is of Irish Scotch
parentage, his father having been one
of the pioneer lumbermen of the
Northwest-one of that class of men
who came to this part of the country
when there were few settlements and
this district practically a virgin for
est. Later in life Mr.. McDonough,
Sr., served his county as sheriff.
Martin McDonough obtained part of
his education in the public school of
Oconto county and afterwards COM
pleted his high school career at Green
Bay, graduating in 1901. He then took
short commercial and business
course and entered the employ of the
Wooster Lumber Company at CHASED,
Houghton county. Being, even in his
younger years, ambitious to study law
he soon grasped an opportunity pre-
scented to him to enter the Offices of
Honorable r. C. Flanagan at Norway
as confidential clerk and stenographer.
He remained with Judge Flanagan
for two years, at the end of which
time from his salary and minor law
business, he accumulated sufficient
funds to enter Washington and Lee
University at Lexington, Virginia,
from which institution he graduated
in 1906. After a short Academic
course at Michigan University Mr..
McDonough came Immediately to Iron
