GarfIild wtts' t niominated att a eonivenition to which hen b had gone as thbe truisted Icader' of thbe ri e Sherman forces. h S After' shoing by t~h uli en 111 ctioni of f ,private lettoas, cover'ing ii period of lyears~ of close pot itical anid personal assocIatIon, that Mr. iatrlld was itn dI reality his political priotcge, Mi'. Shot'- 1K n man gives in dletil thet histor'y of the al ' Natinal Convention of 1880. lPollow- fr e lng the account of hisa owna stt'uggle for the nominnationt he says: d e ''In titme I becamie thoroughiy n advised of what, occurr'ied at the Chtica- sr e go Conventont and hatd be~como en i. tir'ely rocontied to the r'esult, though n fr'equently afterward I heard IncIdents i. and details w hichi occasioned me great tr n paIn and which seemed to establish ei e the want of sincerity on the part of' ti tiow that for aome trie before the leoting of the" Convention thi nomI ation of Gen. Garfield had been agreed I pon." The sting felt by. Garleld's defection 1880 is inadvertently shown by a entiment expreised during the dis ussion of the NatIonal Convention Of 392, where the Senator remarks : " From later developments I became Altisflod that Harrison could not be lected, that Platt and a powerful 1 iow York influence would defeat himf, r nominated. I therefore proferred hea nomination of a new man such as Villiam McKinley, but he had com- t ilttod himself to Harrison and ac urding to my code of honor, coula not ecotit a nomination even if tendered im."1 When it was remembered that Ilain was also a candidate for the 'residency before the Convention that ominated Garlield, the signiilcance of bio following explanlation on the part C f Sonator Sherman why he was reap Ointed by President Garfield as Scre Lry of the Treasury is readily under Good : - " In the latter part of November, b i80, Gen. GarfIold came to Washing- 9 >n and called upon Mr. Blaine, who, was understood, was to be Secretary s f State. Ga-ficid- came to my house irectly from Blaine's and informed to that ho had tendored that olic j Blaino and that it was accepted. le said that Blaino thought it would ot be politic to continue mo as Sec ytary of the Treaoury, as it would be ugarded ns an unfriendly discrimina ion by other members of Hayes's b abinet. I promptly ropied that I greed with the opinion of ilaine and 8 as a candidate for the Senate." Again the author reverts to the hicago Convention in discussing the huiacter of Presiuent Garlield. Of is personality and eloquence li peaks in the highest terms. His will ower., he says, was not up to his por- 0 ,nal magnetism. He adds that his pinions changed easily. In this con ectin le says: " When I proposed to him to be ad elegatO at Ilarge to the Chicago Conl ontion he, no doubt, meant it in good Lith to siipport my nomination." Something of the political scbeming imt again resulted in the defeat of the 'hio statesman in the National Con antion of 1888 and brought the noii ation of E"x-P'resident 1-arrison can .Lsily be read between the lines in tat part of the work devoted to this ,ruggle. in discussing the result Mr. herman says that he became satislied iat one delegate from New York con 'oiled the entire dologation from that tate, and that between Saturday 1 ight, when the nomination seemled L3tain to go to Sherman, and Monday korning, w hen the tide turned in favor f Harrison, a corrupt bargain was mdu in the interests of the latter, t hich secured 1im the support of New ork and gave him the nomination. otitinuing, the author states in fair ess to the l'Ex-P1resident : " It is to the credit of Gen. Hiarrison11 say that if the reputed bargain was c lade, it was without his consent at le time." On the eve of another national cam- t aign, in which Ex-l'resident Harrison t expected to figuro prominently, Mr. t herman does not lesitate to say that ) 1S92 he did not eonsider Harrison a xong candidate. To his cold and ( hru11t ianniier he attributes his un Opunlarity at that time. 1 Space in dievoted by the author to an eeolint. of tlhe most important eventst each A dm in ibtr-ation.
