Slowly working through bls educa- 1 period, recetving lis diploma when 24 years sé, he se¢med at one bound to spring into con- splcuous and brilliant success. Within six years he was successively president of a college, state nator of Ohio, infor general of the “army’of the | United States, and Representative elect to the Na- tional Congress. A combination of honors so va- Tied, so elevated, within a period so brief and. toa Man so young, 18 without precedent or parallel in the history of the country. Garfleld’s army life was begun with no other military knowledge than such as he had hastily re from books in the few months preceding his March to the fleld. Stepping from civil life to the head of a regiment, the first order he recelved when Teady to cross the Ohio was to assume command of a brigade, and to operate as an independent force in Eastern Kentucky. His immediate duty was to check the advance of Humphrey Marshall, who was marching down the Big Sandy with the fnten- tion of occupying In connection with other con- federate forces the entire territory of Kentucky. and of precipitating the state Into secession. This was at the close of the year 1861. Seldom, if ever, has a young college professor been thrown into a more embarrassing and discouraging position. He knew just enough of military science, as he ex- ressed it himself, to meastire the extent of his norance, and with a handful of men he was marching, in rough winter weather, into a strange country, among a hostile population, to confront a largely superior force under the command of a i } distinguished duate of West Point, who had | Seen active and important service in two preceding | Wars. ‘The result of the campaign {s matter of history. | The skill, the endurance, the extraordinary energy | shown by Garfield, the courage he imparted to his | Inen, raw and untried as himself, the measures he adopted to increase his force and to create in the | enemy's tntnd exaggerated estimates of his num- | bers, bore perfect fruit in the routing of Marshall, the capture of his camp, the dispersion of his force, and the emancipation of an important territory from the control of the rebellion. Coming at the close of a long series of disasters to the Union arms, Garfleld’s victory nad an unusual and ex- traneous importance, and in the popular judgment elevated the young commander to the rank of a military hero. With less than two thousand men tn his entire command, with a mobilized force of only eleven hundred, without cannon, he had met j table of contents.

He never expended so much strength but that he seemed to. be holding additional power to call. This ts one of jdife, he gave careful and systematic study to pub- ment of public life more severe than service in the House of Representatives; there is no place where 80 little deference is paid to, reputation previously | acquired, or to eminence won outside; no place | where so little consideration 1s shown for the feel- | ings or the failures of beinners. What aman gains tn the House he gains by sheer forve of his Gwn_ cbaracter, and if he Joses and falls back he must expect no’ mercy, and will receive no sym- pathy. It isa field in which the survival of the strongest 1s the recognized mul, and where no pre- tense can decelve “and no giimour can mislead. ‘The real man 1s discovered, his worth 1s impar- ally weighed, nis rank 1s ffreversibly decreed. With possivly a single exception Garfield was est member in the House when he en- tered, and was but seven years from lils college Bat he had not been in his seat sixty ays before his ability was recognized and his plice conceded. He stepped to the front with | confidence of one who belonged there.

His military Ife, illustrated by honorable per- formance, and fch in Ise, was, ag he himself “felt, prematurely terminated, and necessary incomplete. Speculation ay to what he might have done in a field, where the great prizes are so few, cannot be profit- able. It 1s sufficient to say that asa soldier he did his duty bravely; he did is tntelligently; he won an enviable fame, and he retired from the service without blot or breath against him. As a lawyer, though admirably equipped forthe profession, he can scarcely be said to have entered on its prac- tice. ‘The few efforts he made ‘at the bar were dts- Unguishea by the same high order of talent which he exhibited on every feld where he was put to the test, and if man may be ‘as a competent judge of his own capacities and adaptations, the Ww Was the profession to which Garfield should have devoted himselt.

Garfield’s nomination to the Presidency, while not predicted or anticipated, was not a surprise to the country. His prominence in Congress, his solid qualities, his wide reputation, strengthened by his then recent election as Senator froin Ohio, kept him in the public eye as a man occupying the very lizhest rank among those entitled to be calied statesmen. It was not mere chance that brought him this high honor. “We must,” says Mr, Emerson, “reckon success a constitutional trait. If Eric isin robust health and has slept well and 1s at the top of his condition, and thirty | years old at his departure froin Greenland, he will steer West and his ships will reach New Found- land. But take Eric out and put in a stronger and bolder man and the ships will sail six hundred, one thousand, fifteen hundred miles farther and Teach Labrador and New England. There 1s no chance in results.” As a candidate, Garfield steadily grew in popu- lar favor. He was met with a storm of detraction at the very hour of his nomination, and it con- tinued with increasing volume and’ momentum until the close of his victorious campaign: No might nor greatness in mortality Earosawure scape: backwoundin calumny.
