Center Township returned but three votes for McClellan, against 457 for Lincoln; and Guilford reported one for McClellan and 575 for Lincoln. The good people of Guilford boast that that one Democrat has been dead for a long time! Every township in the county but two helped to swell the Republican majority, with the following figures: Center, 454; Clay, 220; Eel River, 125; Frank-

lin, sixty-seven; Guilford, 574; Liberty, 270; Lincoln, fifty-four; Marion, thirty-nine; Middle, seventeen; Washington, ninety-nine. Brown gave a majority of eighty-four, and Union, forty-five, for Mo- Clellan.
The next campaign occurred during the reconstruction era. The Republicans nominated their war hero, General Ulysses S. Grant, while the Democrats selected as their standard bearer the eminent Governor of New York, Horatio Seymour. The result was a Re- publican victory. Hendricks County gave 2,973 votes for the win- Ding man, and 1,462 for the opposition. Nine of the twelve town- ships gave the following Grant majorities: Center, 210; Clay, 266; Eel River, fifty-eight; Franklin, eighty-seven; Guilford, 670; Lib- erty, 269; Lincoln, twenty-four; Middle, thirty; Washington, nine- ty-eight. Seymour's majorities were, in Brown, ninety-six; Mar- ion, thirty-nine; Union, sixty-six.
Dissatisfied with Grant's administration, a number of Republi- cans calling themselves Liberals met in convention in 1872, and nominated the distinguished editor and philanthropist, Horace Greeley, Grant having been renominated by the Republican conven- tion. Disheartened, or rather hoping to achieve success by foster- ing a division in their rival party, the Democratic leaders, in convention assembled, endorsed Greeley. This was very unsat- isfactory to a large percentage of the Democratic voters, who accord- ingly refused to vote on election day. A few cast their ballots for Charles O'Conor, the "straight out " Democratic candidate, but they were not sufficiently numerous to influence the re- sult. Grant received an overwhelming majority, not so much by his own popularity, as from the half-heartedness of the Democrats in supporting Greeley. In this county Grant received 2,834 votes; Greeley, 1,626; O'Conor, 4; Grant's plurality, 1,208. The nine Republican townships and pluralities were: Center, 159; Clay, 231; Eel River, ten; Franklin, 124; Guilford, 507; Liberty, 205; Lincoln, three; Middle, thirty; Washington, 101. The three Dem- ocratic townships this year were: Brown, ninety six; Marion twenty-eight, Union, thirty-eight.
The centennial year brought with it a political race, unequaled in history for closeness, and doubtful results. The choice was be- tween Rutherford B. Hayes (Republican), Samuel J. Tilden (Dem- ocrat) and Peter Cooper, the candidate for a new political element styling itself the Greenback, or National party. This was never very strong in Hendricks County, its heaviest vote being this year,

when 231 votes were recorded for Cooper. Hayes's vote here was 3,014, and Tilden's 1,912; Hayes's plurality, 1,102. The Republi- cans this year lost permanently Lincoln and Middle townships, which had hitherto been theirs uniformly, and carried but seven townships to the Democrats' five-a proportion which has since been unchanged. Hayes's pluralities were: Center, 164; Clay, 246; Eel River, thirty-three; Franklin, 123; Guilford, 616; Liberty, 167; Washington, eighty-three. On the other side, were Brown, 109; Lincoln, forty-two; Marion, fifty-six; Middle, forty-five; Un- ion, seventy-eight.
Generals James A. Garfield, of Ohio, and Winfield S. Hancock, of Pennsylvania, represented the two great parties in the presiden- tial campaign of 1880. The National party put forward General James B. Weaver, of Iowa, and the Prohibitionists nominated Neal Dow, of Maine. Once more, but for the last time in a con- tinnous line, the Republicans triumphed, and Garfield was inang- urated, to enjoy for a few months the highest office in the land, before his vigorous life was cut short by the assassin's bullet. He received in Hendricks County a plurality of 1,202. The vote was, Garfield, 3,196; Hancock, 1,994; Weaver, 218; Dow, four. The townships voting for Garfield, were: Center, 272; Clay, 266; Eel River, thirteen; Franklin, ninety-one; Guilford, 474; Liberty, 243; Washington, 117. The townships giving Hancock pluralities were: Brown, 113; Lincoln, twelve; Marion, forty-nine; Middle, sixty; Union, forty.
The warmly contested campaign of 1884, with its disagreeable episodes and its many candidates, is fresh in the minds of all. First nominated was General Benjamin F. Butler, of Massachusetts, by the National party, and afterward by the Anti-Monopoly and Labor, conventions. The Republican convention at Chicago, in the month of June, nominated James G. Blaine, of Maine, for President, and John A. Logan, of Illinois, for Vice-President. In the same city, a month later the Democratic Convention selected as its nominee for President, Grover Cleveland, of New York, and for Vice-President, Thomas A. Hendricks, of Indiana. The Pro- hibitionists nominat John P. St. John, of Kansas, and played a very important part in the campaign, to the delight of the Demo- crats, and the chagrin of the Republicans. In the State of New York they drew to St. John twenty times the number of votes by which Blaine was defeated, in that, the pivotal State.
The campaign was conducted with unusual vigor in Hendricks

County, with the following result: Blaine, 3,003; Cleveland, 2,- 069; Butler, 162; St. John, eighty-eight. The townships were di- vided equally in their preferences, six being claimed by each party. The Republican townships and pluralities were: Center, 261; Clay, 206; Franklin, eighty-four; Guilford, 406; Liberty, 198; Washington, 109. The Democratic townships, with their plurali- ties, were: Brown, 142; Eel River, seven; Lincoln, twenty-five; Marion, fifty-nine; Middle, forty-seven; Union, fifty:
The following pages contain an abstract of every general election held in the county from 1826 to 1884, as prepared from the origi- nal returns on file in the office of the County Clerk. For the first few years the figures are not in every case reliable, owing to there being a few missing papers.
