PONDEROUS PERSONAGES.
James A. Garfield.
(By George Fitch.)
James Abram Garfield was a
young man who had a magnificent
start as a canal pilot and could
have risen to the top of the pro
fession, hut who ruined his
chances in this line by quit ling
work and going to college.
Many of the oldest canal men
on the old Ohio canal hack iiv
the late forties pldd with young
Garfield to stick to his work and
rise until he had a canal boat of
his own and could smoke all day
on the after deck, hut he was
headstrong and would not do so.
Instead lie went to college and
joined a Greek letter society,
raised whiskers and helped duck
freshmen in the president’s horse
.trough. This affected his mind
!so that lie became president of
ja college himself for a short time,
i But his frivolous nature made
i him resign once more, just as
things were coming his way. and
become, a lawyer.
No sooner had young Gurlield
done this than he got himself
'elected to the Ohio senate, thus
eluding a client who had almost
[decided to retain him. And lie
had no sooner become a power
in the senate, than lie threw
away his chances once mure and
went south as lieutenant-colonel
of an Ohio regimen! in Hie civil
war.
i
Voting (iarlield had now fril
jlered away his life until he was
i’dt? years old'' and everybody said
it was a pity that he had no sta
bility. having given up live good
chances in ten years. But lie
(persisted in his course and no
! sooner had he become a major
general than he resigned oftce
more and went to congress.
This was a tine opening for
I<Sariield and he stuck to his job
until 1880 against the express
wishes of many Democratic can
didates in his district. In 1880
he became United States senator
and all would have been well had
he not gone to the Chicago con
vention to help nominate Sher
man for president and acciden
tally gotten nominated himself.
He was elected president tlvat fall
and was just getting settled in the
office the next July when he was
shot. He will always be spoken of
as one ol> the country’s martyred
presidents.
