Gilded Age Presidents

Presidents of the Gilded Age 1876- Rutherford B. Hayes (R) 1880- James A. Garfield (R) Assassinated 1881- Chester A. Arthur (R) 1884- Grover Cleveland (D) 1888- Benjamin Harrison (R) 1892- Grover Cleveland (D) 1896- William McKinley (R)- Assassinated

The Hayes White House Attempted to restore dignity to the White House (despite election) Supported temperance with his wife “Lemonade Lucy” Supported the Gold Standard and the demonetization of silver (Crime of 73) Attacked spoils system and fired Chester A. Arthur from NY customs house

Republican Convention of 1880- Garfield Highlighted by Half-Breed and Stalwart division Dark Horse Half-Breed James Garfield and Stalwart Chester A. Arthur were nominated Garfield assassinated in 1881 by Charles Guiteau

Guiteau Executed Used “epic poems” for his defense Got legal advice from the audience Planned to run for president in 1884 Sang “John Brown’s Body” to Jury Final words- I am going to the Lordy, I am so glad, I am going to the Lordy, I am so glad, I am going to the Lordy, Glory hallelujah! Glory hallelujah! I am going to the Lordy. I love the Lordy with all my soul, Glory hallelujah!

Chester A. Arthur Does he have any idea what he is doing? Actually carried on Garfield fight to reform civil service Signed the Pendleton Act- made people take exams to ensure qualified officials More of a caretaker president- at least he doesn’t mess things up!!

Grover Cleveland Some Republican reformers jump ship and vote for Cleveland earning the name “Mugwumps” Kept “laissez-faire” attitude and did little for reform Pushed for lower tariffs Was against veterans benefits, help to farmers, and any handouts

Benjamin Harrison- “Young Tippecanoe” Pushed for higher tariffs to protect industry Lots of pork barrel legislation Ignored the plight of farmers His grandfather almost did as much as he did

Common Themes Presidents practiced a hands off policy Favored businesses and didn’t support farmers Favored the gold standard Weren’t the best or most exciting presidents in the world
