Lt Owing to the close ass5ociaitioni of Mr'.i
e Sherman and JIames A. GJarfield, the
.- criticism of the nom Ination of the I
e litt.ea' iur President of the Uniited
a Statecs is per'hapsl onei of the latst, I
a sta'ik Intg features of thbe book. The
,au~.lor, wale Icar'efutlly3 atvoiding a b
Ltdiiect chtarge of tr'eaeberiy ott the partit e
of the iatc l'tesidetnt,, very sign ificantly
r imakes it plaini that, Meu. 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

if GJrant,'s Adm in iiistration he says it ,
as a pii od of baadal and siander.
P erniaps the severest criticism of .
en. G rant/s statesmanship is found in1
Ie rollo)wing extiract from Mr. Sher- e
ian's wor'k :'" During the entire r
criod of Grant's Administration I wasi
