59. Hayes, Diary and Letters, III,
582, 600. In 1884 and 1888 Hayes again listed
Sherman among possible candidates,
expressing particular regret that he was not nom-
inated in 1888. Ibid., IV, 146,
175, 256-257, 392, 393, 395.
60. Brown and Williams in Diary of
Garfield, quote these words in describing what
they call "an adequate nominating
speech" (p. lvi), Sherman omitted the words in
question from the excerpt from the
speech in his Recollections, (p. 774). If Sherman
calculated to kill Garfield's boom by
using Garfield as his nominating agent, the Secre-
tary underestimated the resourcefulness
of Garfield's claque and ignored appraisals by
Hayes and himself that Garfield was
"not firm-not a moral force. He leaned on others"
and that "his will power was not
equal to his personal magnetism." Hayes, Diary and
Letters, IV, 110 and Sherman, Recollections, 807.
61. During a Garfield visit to
Washington in November, Sherman agreed that he
should not be reappointed to the
Treasury but told Garfield that he wanted the
senatorship. Garfield had been supposed
to favor Governor Foster, but subsequently
Foster withdrew on request that he
thereby restore harmony to the legislature. Sherman,
Recollections, 802-804; Sherman to Dalzell, November 5, 1880, Sherman
Papers; Hayes,
Diary and Letters, III, 625.
62. This speech, of some length, was
quoted extensively and commented upon in
the Ohio press of January 20-21, 1881.
The Columbus Dispatch of January 20 observed
that at "The Reception in the
Senate Chamber . . . the melting mood manifested by
all, including Mr. Sherman's political
adversaries indicated anything but coolness." The
Democratic Cleveland Plain Dealer of
January 20 noted that friends and opponents
"likewise did homage to his talents
and abilities, rejoicing at least that the state if it
must be represented by a Republican
would be represented by one of whom the state
need not feel ashamed."
