[Charles Agvent]

HAYES, Rutherford B. REMARKS OF PRESIDENT HAYES, AT THE CELEBRATION OF 
GENERAL GARFIELD'S ELECTION, CLEVELAND, OHIO, NOVEMBER 4, 1880. n.p., 
[1880]. First Edition. Printed wraps; 4 pages, the last blank. SIGNED on 
the top margin of the front page "With Compliments/R. B. Hayes" by the 
President. Prints Hayes's speech celebrating the election of James 
Garfield to succeed him as President. "You all remember how four years 
ago the business of the country for weeks and months was interrupted and 
almost suspended by the doubts in regard to the result of the election. 
Possibly the weakest point in our system is that our Constitution does 
not adequately provide for the ascertainment and determination of the 
result of a Presidential election when it is close and doubtful and 
disputed...." Don't we know it. Slightly sunned at the top edge, 
otherwise Fine.
A prefatory paragraph explains that "Immediately after the demonstration 
in the Public Square had come to a close, the torchlight companies and 
hundreds of citizens marched to the Kennard House and tendered a 
serenade to President Hayes. Bank Street filled with people and music. 
At 11.15 o'clock several prominent Republicans appeared on the balcony 
accompanied by the President..." Hayes then went on to sing the praises 
of his successor, whom he describes as: "A man of broad, liberal, and 
generous views, he will look over this whole country. Every section of 
it will be fairly and justly dealt with. He will say to the mistaken men 
of the South, 'You are to be treated precisely as the citizens of my own 
State are to be treated. [Applause.] All that we ask of you is that you 
shall faithfully obey the Constitution....'" (#016434)        $3,000
