Five Minute Chats on- Our Piesidents By JAMES MORGAN (Copyright, 1020, V James Morgan.) JAMES A. GARFIELD 1831-Nov. 19, James Abram Garfield, born at Orange, Ohio. 1858-61-President of Hiram College. 1858-Married Lucretia Rudolph. 1860-Member of Ohio Sehate. 1861-Colonel in Ohio Volun teers. 1862-Brigadier General. 1863-Major General. 1863-80-In Congress. 1880-Elected to the 'United States Senate. 1880-Juno 7, nominated for President by Republican Convention at Chicago. November, elected Presi. dent. AAMS ABIAM GATIElLD was the bits t and, it is faIrly sa1fe to say, tie last of the presidenth born and bred In log elihins. Notwithstanding that htimble state, he was one of the hialf-dozei sliolarly men who have sat In t lie presidential chair. Garfield is the (only president wlho was present 'at his own nomilnation. The preshlenthal liglitning struck hIm as be sat In his sent in that most ex traordinary and exciting national con vention which met at Chicago In 1880. All the "Stalwart" elans, belleving with a St. Louis editor that there was "one more president in the bloody shirt, seized upon the great name of Grant, aid under the banner of the "Hero of Appomattox" they rallied against the "Hlmif Breeds" who followed "tle Plumned Knlight," James G. Blaine of "Mine. The rival chianpions in that remark alile tournament at Chiengo were Ros soe Conkling, chieftain of the "Stal warts," and James A. Garfield of OhIo. the spokwstnlanii of the "Il'lf Breeds, James A. Garfield. alftough he was restrahted froma dl rectly supportIng Blaine by the Instrue tions of hIs state in favor of the nomi natIon of John Sherman. C'onkllng, a hiand~somie fop, enirefull 'studied t he rIght moment to make is theatrIcal entry upon the stage the first (day, dirawing the applause as lie advanced downi the aisle wvith lis "grandIloquent swell, lis majestic supereminent, over Ilowering. turkey gobbler strut," whleh Blaine had held uip in the laughter of congress years before In a never-to-be forgiven spieech. The next (lay Gar I Old took his revenge by entering whIle IConkllng was s9peaking, and the wel nlng cheers dIrowned the voice of the Indlgnast speaker. On the third (lay the two gamie to) grips in a de hate and the Ohioan scored on the New Yorker. While the gallery still was cheer lng the victor in that roundit, ('onkling wrote on the margIn of a newspaper and sent to Garfield a mocking sugges tioni that lie wais playing to the gal lery In his own Mterest: "I congrat ulate you on being a (lark horse !" In truth Garfld could not *ise in the convent ion without helping him self mor-e than he helped Shiermain, whio ne'ver hand a (-hance to in. As Ihtllot iafter ballot w-as taken. it be coae plaini tha t n-it her the "'iimmorital 806" who followed Grant nor the dleaf eninig c-hiers whlehi hIs nami~e evoked could Oo-rcomue the pirejud ice agnaInst a third term in the WhIte H~ouse, and It was made equially plaIn that thIs "Old Guard" never would surrender to Blaine. A new candidlate was necesnry If the convention was not to fall to pieces in factions. One solitary vote for Garfild dn most of the ballots had contInued to point the ' ager of dles tiny at hIm. WIsconsin -. inted all her fingere In hIs direcolon wh-en her dlele gation broke to him on the thIrty fourth ballot. Garfield rose with pallid face and dry lIps to a point of ordler. But Sen ator Hoar of Massachneetts, wh-o was In the chaIr, rapped him down. In two Jnere ballots he was nomInated by a comiinatlon of the Blaine and Sher man men. In the mIdst 'of the uproar the nomi nee sat Ihrp and perspir-ing in hIs seat. "(Get :'.a iuit of hero," he faIntly whis pered to lis seatate, I~xGovernot IFoster of Ohio.
