Abstract
Letters of General Joseph R. Hawley to Charles Dudley Warner, The Hartford Daily Times, February 11, 1930. There was no idea that Hayes would be renominated in 1880. The stalwart wing of the party led by Conkling lined up behind Grant for a third term. Blaine was in the field and John Sherman of Ohio, as well as Washburne and Edmunds. Conkling had been active in preparing the act which created the electoral commission of 1876 by which Hayes was seated as president, a decision which deprived Tilden of the office and aroused much bitterness. When the judgment of the commission was announced, Conkling declined to vote for its affirmation. He was an opponent of civil service and Hayes an advocate of it, so that he came to be out of sympathy with what was known as the reform element in the republican party. Charges of mal-administration of the custom house resulted in President Hayes' removal of Chester Allen Arthur as collector of the port of New York and the nomination of his successor.
