Campaign News:
James G. Blaine wins his second term!
While at first it seemed Grant and Blaine would compete closely for the Republican ticket, the Republican Convention's Grant supporters eventually splintered and gave President Blaine their support. The Greenbacks, garnering some Democratic voters, were not able to persuade voters against Blaine in light of the emerging Golden Age.
