Garfield is the only president who The presidential lightning struck him as he sat in his seat in that most ex- traordinary and esciting national con- vention which met at Chicago in 1880, All the “Stalwart” clans, believing with a St. Louis editor that there was “one more president in the bloody shirt,” seized upon the great name of Grant, and under the banner of the “Hero of Appomattox” they rallied against the “Half Breeds” who followed “the Plumed Knight,” James G. Blaine of Maine. ‘The rival champions in that remark- able tourmment at Chicago were Ros- soe Conkling, chieftain of the “Stal- warts,” and James A.

On the third day the two came to zrips in a de- bate and the Ohioan scored on the New Yorker.

A new candidate was necessary if the convention was noi to fall to pleces in factions. One solitary vote for Garfield on most of the ballots had continued to point the finger of des- tiny at him.
