Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Vote That Made the President Mr. Hayes was thus declared elected by a majority of one. If any vote counted for him had been counted on the other side, Mr. Tilden, instead of Mr. Hayes, would have had the 185 votes; if it had been rejected altogether, each would have had 184 votes, and the House of Representatives would im mediately have elected Mr. Tilden. One vote, therefore, put Mr. Hayes into the presidential office. To make up the 185 votes counted for him, 8 came from Louisiana and 4: from Florida. Whether they should have been thus counted is a question that affects the honor, the conscience, and the interests of the American people. There is not a person living in this country who has not a direct concern in a just answer. Not one will ever live in it whose respect for this generation will not depend in some degree upon that answer. The 12 votes were not all alike. Some had one distinction, some another. But, not to distract attention by the discus sion of several transactions instead of one, and because one in the present instance actually determined the result, I will confine my observations to a single vote. For this pur pose let us take one of the votes from Louisiana, that, for instance, of Orlando H. Brewster.

And, since one President is different from another, I have tried to show wherein and in what manner the personal quali ties of the Presidents have affected the course of public events and of the national history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How Presidents Are Made There is a general impression that presidents are elected upon issues; that is, questions of national policy that arise from time to time, supposedly every four years. This is a mis take, as few presidents have been chosen on is sues, and few issues have been settled by presi dential elections. Personality and Opportunity have had much to do with the result, and it is interesting to note how often accident or inci dent has played an important part in president making. Parties are the natural outgrowth of politics. For the most part men have voted for their party candidate regardless of issues, often when they knew that the party candidate was not the best man and that the party platform was wrong on the main issues. Party allegiance in a large majority of cases overtops patriotic judgment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

He is at once Prime Minister and independent executive. He blends the functions of what in parliamentary government is the head of the Cabinet, and what in other government is the head Of the State. He is a vital part of the legislative power without being amenable to its control or dependent on its life. He is the framer of policies and the arbiter of parties. All this makes the election of President the central chord and the arterial force Of our broad political action.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Hayes-Tilden Disputed Presidential Election of 1876 Thirty years have now elapsed since the beginning of the presidential campaign which culminated in the most remarkable electoral controversy in the history of popular government. As yet, however, no adequate account of that controversy has been published. It has seemed to me that there is some need for such an account, and this book is the result of my effort, successful or otherwise, to supply it. The book is based in large measure upon a collection of more than twenty thousand pages of congressional material, consisting of debates in Congress, of evidence gathered by various investigating committees, and of the proceedings before the electoral commission. This collection constitutes perhaps the most extensive and exhaustive one upon any subject of equal importance in American history, and the labor involved in examining and sifting it has been rendered all the greater by the fact that so much of the evidence contained in it is untrustworthy. As the reference notes will show, I have, in addition, drawn material from a great variety of other sources. I have, in fact, spared no pains to make my investigation as complete as possible.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Many Things About the United States of America Technically speaking, the President is not elected by the people and the people do not vote directly for any presidential candidate. They cast their ballots for electors and these electors choose a President and vice-president. In each State the number of elec tors is equal to the number of Senators and Representatives which the State has in Congress. Each party has an Electoral ticket with the names of its electors printed on it. The electoral ticket which receives the greatest number of popular ballots in the State, would be chosen by the people, and the electors named on it, will be entitled to give their votes for the candidate whom they represent. The electors who are chosen will meet in each State on the second Monday in January, and cast their votes for a President and vice-president. As a matter of law, they can then vote for whom they please. As a matter of usage and public trust, they are expected to vote for the candidate whom they are pledged to support.

This great man was far more than just a politician however, he was a renowned hunter, conservationist and soldier and wrote extensively about both these interests and politics. Elected with one of the largest ever shares of the popular vote he remains a respected and popular figure in American history. This is not an objective view of Roosevelt's life by any means. He gives his own view on events and his own opinion permeates the text. Nothing less could be expected from such a charismatic and powerful personality. He covers his life just as far as the end of his presidency, focusing on his political career, although in two appendices he attacks the presidents following him, Taft and Wilson. It is a dense and wordy account of his life and career, but well worth the read for any student of American history or politics.

The only choice left them was to decide between a radical Republican, who had supported the Government in putting down the rebellion, and a Democrat, who was considered as having done all in his power to prevent the Government from doing so. There was no alternative but to vote for the Radi cal, although opposed to his extreme radical views. The persons referred to are not in accord with either of the two great political parties in the land and are ready to cast their votes with any party that will hold up right principles and offer as candidates men of principle. The time may come when their votes will be desirable and their power felt. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: At ten minutes past four o'clock on the second morning of the present month (March, 1877), the President of the Senate of the United States, in the presence of the two Houses of Congress, made this announcement: "The whole number of the electors appointed to vote for President and Vice-President of the United States is 369, of which a majority is 185. The state of the vote for President of the United States, as delivered by the tellers, and as determined under the act of Congress, approved January 29, 1877, on this subject, is: for Rutherford B. Hayes, of Ohio, 185 votes; for Samuel J. Tilden, of New York, 184 votes;" and then, after mentioning the votes for Vice-President, he proceeded: "Wherefore I do declare, that Rutherford B. Hayes, of Ohio, having received a majority of the whole number of electoral votes, is duly elected President of the United States for four years, commencing on the fourth day of March, 1877."
