elected to congress. The congressional district in which Garfield lived was the one long made famous by Joshua R. Giddings. Tr-e old anti slavery champion grew careless of the arts of politics towards the end of his career and came to look up a nomination and re-election as a matter of course. His over-confidence was taken advantage of in 1858 by an ambitious lawyer named Hutchins to carry a convention against him.

The friends of Giddings never forgave Hutchins, and cast about for means of defeating him. The old man himself was comfortably quartered in his consulate at Montreal and did not care lo make a fight to get back to congress. So his supporters made use of the popularity of General Garfield and nominated him while he was in the field without asking his consent. That was in 1802. When he heard of the nomination Garfield reflected that it would be fifteen months belore congress would meet to which he would be elected, and believing, as did every one else, that the war couid not possibly last a year longer, concluded THE LAST DAY.

He was not popular among his fellow-members during his first term.

The teachers were poor, the pupils were poor and the institution was poor, but there was a great deal of hard study done and many ambitious plans formed. The young president lectured and preached, and all the time studied as dilligently as any acolyte in the temple of knowledge.
