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
